  1. Accepting verbal orders from another nurse?

    dimpledRN replied to amberrenae, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would use this as a learning experience. You were absolutely right to stand your ground. But unless you get the order from the doctor yourself don't pull a narc. And definitely don't give it to...

  2. My DON accused me of patient abandonment during a snowstorm

    dimpledRN replied to NurseScorpio88's topic in General Nursing

    You reported off to another nurse. That's not abandonment. Now if there was no one to relieve you and you just left that would be a different story. Your DON sounds cray cray. I'm sorry this is...

  9. How to deal with a bully patient?

    dimpledRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    As a float pool nurse in my hospital I find this incredibly insulting. First off, we don't get paid more and second, without the float pool you'd be forced to work short. I'm grateful that where I...

  10. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    dimpledRN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    First off she was wrong to yell at you from down the hall. That's never ok. That being said, and I know everyone else has said it too, blocking her wasn't a good idea. Unless those meds were going to...

  11. Do you sometimes feel like an awful nurse?

    dimpledRN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are FAR from an awful nurse but I think all of us feel that way sometimes. Don't beat yourself up over this and keep being the caring individual you obviously
