  1. morphine sulfate given even though has an "allergy" listed in chart

    Fribblet replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    No, the OP had taken care of the patient earlier, just not while the patient was "actively

  2. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    Fribblet replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    They're lying; the nurse blabbed; there's a leak at CPS. I think it's a safe bet that unless the entire story is made up, someone, somewhere is getting

  3. morphine sulfate given even though has an "allergy" listed in chart

    Fribblet replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    You must not work in the medical field. The people who were looking at celebritie's charts weren't just not caring for them, they weren't even working on the same floor as the patient. If I'm working...

  4. RN of 12 years passing meds in nursing home? S L O W..

    Fribblet replied to veolai37's topic in General Nursing

    I'm relatively young, and quite fast at the work I do now in the ER. Put me in LTC and give me bunch of patients with a bunch of meds, and I'd be slow as all get out,

  5. I sure wish we had a "please read first" sticky for HIPAA comments

    Fribblet replied to Old.Timer's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, some people are slow and need a little help finding the very obvious search feature of the website. Other people are new to the internet and don't know how forums generally work. It's only...

  6. morphine sulfate given even though has an "allergy" listed in chart

    Fribblet replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Oh lord. It's not a HIPAA violation. If it were then any time a nurse asks another nurse's opinion or asks a question of a nurse while caring for a patient, she's "violated" HIPAA. Frankly, when...

  7. Why aren't there better incentives for obtaining a BSN degree?

    Fribblet replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for proving my point. You post is reactive, lacks reading comprehension skills, and is, frankly, unprofessional. I never said I speak for all nurses. Had you used your critical thinking and...

  8. morphine sulfate given even though has an "allergy" listed in chart

    Fribblet replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Having done triage for a few years now, most allergies that are listed are not true allergies. They're intolerances or side effects. People think getting nauseous after receiving morphine is a sign...

  9. "The Code Blue Disturbed The Other Patients" - Shame on you bad nurses!

    Fribblet replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And an AMA form on a clipboard (with a pen attached) within arm's reach. Did the sound of a poor patient trying to die disturb your precious sensibilities? You poor dear. Go

  10. I sure wish we had a "please read first" sticky for HIPAA comments

    Fribblet replied to Old.Timer's topic in General Nursing

    The posters who start threads on topics that have been hashed out over and over again are the same posters who can't take 5 minutes to find the appropriate forum for their topic or bother to do a...

  11. Why aren't there better incentives for obtaining a BSN degree?

    Fribblet replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    PMFB-RN, I don't consider nursing a profession either. We aren't treated as professionals, and, as group, we don't act like professionals. We're skilled labor. Or, a "trade" if "laborer" leaves a bad...

  12. Why aren't there better incentives for obtaining a BSN degree?

    Fribblet replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    If the posts at allnurses.com are any indication, it's painfully apparent that many, many nurses could benefit from more education. I'm not talkin' 'bout nursing learnin' either. Critical reading...

  13. How I miss my beloved text-paging

    Fribblet replied to evilolive's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is that it was working and made almost everyone

    Fribblet replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    Patients who walk into the ER, and, upon placement in a room, lose all ability to preform any

  15. Texting staff to cover call off's

    Fribblet replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I think most people these days have unlimited texting. Personally, I'd prefer a text over a call if I had to choose between the

  16. Texting staff to cover call off's

    Fribblet replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds good in theory, but in reality, I'd make sure that work only had my home phone were that the case. I don't want my monthly text allowance being used up by my place of employment. Unless, of...

  19. uniforms: any stranger recognized where you work by your uniform?

    Fribblet replied to RedWeasel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm more concerned about any Joe Blow being able to find my license number and full address on the BON website than being identified as a nurse by the color of my uniform. The hospital I work at now...

  20. Tylenol overdose and the public's ignorance.

    Fribblet replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    The risk of liver failure is on my Tylenol bottle. Like the rest of the general population, you must not bother to read your labels. Liver failure causes death, so no need to be redundant....

  21. Is nursing "worth it"? HELP!

    Fribblet replied to bd22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a lot that sucks about being a nurse. Familiarize yourself with it. If the good still outweighs the bad, then go for

  22. I'm very guilty...of laziness....gulp....

    Fribblet replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like me, OP. I didn't study every waking moment in nursing school. I did well. I wouldn't say I'm a "good" test taker, because, frankly, tests determine what you know. You know it, or you...

  23. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    Fribblet replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    Nevermind.

  24. MD vs DO

    Fribblet replied to Mulan's topic in General Nursing

    Their requirements are also, interestingly, slightly less strict as MD programs. I believe the GPA requirement is a smidge

  25. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    Fribblet replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    Some people who are weak and lack impulse and self control project that onto everyone else. So, if they can't drink without getting drunk, then obviously no one else can drink without getting drunk....
