  1. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

    Fribblet replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While I agree with what you're saying, you're wrong about the interpretation of my quote. This patient was not anxious about the procedure. Some patients are *******s and some are pervy. And some...

  2. MD vs DO

    Fribblet replied to Mulan's topic in General Nursing

    They are the same. I'd never be able to tell the difference if their badges didn't display either MD or DO at my place of

  3. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

    Fribblet replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're being absurd. The patient wanted a "real" nurse. The patient was given a "real nurse." There is no abuse. No one hit the patient or insulted her. She wanted a "nurse" to place her bedpan,...

  4. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

    Fribblet replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How is it inappropriate? The patient requested a real nurse, and the patient got a real nurse. Are you suggesting that the care our male colleagues provide to women is humiliating? Certainly not. A...

  5. Magnet, polarization, ageism, classism

    Fribblet replied to edgarandersonrn's topic in General Nursing

    My, how things have

  6. Magnet, polarization, ageism, classism

    Fribblet replied to edgarandersonrn's topic in General Nursing

    Duplicate!

  7. Do we have an oath for nurses I don't know about?

    Fribblet replied to hecallsmeDuchess's topic in General Nursing

    Thank goodness we didn't have to say that at the program I went to. I would have flat out

  8. 12 hour shifts...3 is plenty

    Fribblet replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    Hehe. I hear you. I no longer work for that employer. 60 hour weeks will burn you out

  9. 12 hour shifts...3 is plenty

    Fribblet replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, could be worse. Your facility could put you on a schedule that included 5 12's every other week. That takes days to recover

  10. Old Women Hit by Car...What Would You Do?

    Fribblet replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen people with C-spine fractures (discovered later) walk though the entrance of the ER. Even if they walk in, they're still getting collared in triage and they certainly aren't walking to the...

  11. Old Women Hit by Car...What Would You Do?

    Fribblet replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    First, since and sense are not the same word. Second, if you had read the OP, the man stated he was a doctor. Based on the information we have, he was potentially harming the patient. Just because he...

  12. Old Women Hit by Car...What Would You Do?

    Fribblet replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    Unless he can prove his credentials, I'm not deferring to any Tom, Dick or Harry on the street who claims they are a doctor and putting a person at risk. And, even if he can prove his credentials,...

  13. Old Women Hit by Car...What Would You Do?

    Fribblet replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    The paramedics should have taken control of the scene. It's their expertise. If you stumble across an accident scene, you check for safety first, only move victims if it's absolutely necessary and...

  14. 2015 DNP

    Fribblet replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    DNP would not be called doctor in the clinical setting, as they are "clinically" not a doctor. They have earned a doctorate, which entitles them to be referred to as a doctor, but in an academic...

  15. What info should be "tattooed" on a nurse's brain?

    Fribblet replied to rloh961's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing. A tattoo (for all intents and purposes) is permanent. Healthcare is always changing. Keep your mind open, and be willing to adjust your knowledge base when presented with evidence that...

  16. No interviews, so I want to call hirers to badger for interviews?

    Fribblet replied to Will Never's topic in General Nursing

    If you go in with the attitude you've presented in the original post, you will have shown yourself to be EXACTLY the kind of nurse no one wants to hire or work with. So, go for

  17. Please Help Me . . . Advice Needed . . . How to Title a Post

    Fribblet replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    If one can not quickly figure out how to use an internet forum, or take the time to browse the forum and figure things out, then I find it quite disturbing that they are (or will be ) attempting to...

  18. Please Help Me . . . Advice Needed . . . How to Title a Post

    Fribblet replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    It's a valiant attempt, Ruby. But, you're assuming the same thing many people assume about the general public: that they can, and do, read. If you don't have enough sense to title a thread in a way...

  19. Help me understand

    Fribblet replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in Emergency

    If the symptoms are resolving, blood flow is returning to the affected area of the brain. There is no long an occlusion. At that point the risks of t-PA out weighs the

  20. ICE " in case of emergency " apps worth it ?

    Fribblet replied to Trekfan's topic in Emergency

    A Road ID bracelet is better. Google

  21. Reporting off

    Fribblet replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in Emergency

    All I need to know is: Why they're here. How their vitals have been (stable vs. unstable). What the plan is (admit, discharge). Anything they need done (abx, second line, 3rd nitro, etc.) Everything...

  22. Help! EBP on not inflating foley balloon prior to insertion

    Fribblet replied to highlandlass1592's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught in nursing school not to inflate the ballon prior to insertion as it can diminish the integrity of the ballon. Perhaps you could look from that

  23. No Oncology Lecture ADN Program

    Fribblet replied to Charlotto's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but delving deep into that is something that is very specific to oncology. I see CA patients in the ER, but I don't deal with them and their families like the nurses on the oncology floor....

  24. Prescribing narcotics to drug seekers

    Fribblet replied to Djuna's topic in Emergency

    And, lets be honest. There's a major difference between a CA patient that frequently visits an ER for various complaints like, persistent NV, fever, pain that is beyond normal, and a patient who...

  25. Georgia license

    Fribblet replied to Seminole792's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The GA BON is quite slow. Sometimes an inquiring phone call and speed things up. I'm pretty sure the GA BON is run by the same folks who work at the DMV. Slow, minimally competent, and basically don't...
