  3. "I'll let you talk to Dr Bigego's 'nurse'" (is she really a nurse?)

    DutchgirlRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This has been going on for "years and years". Probably longer than I've been alive and I'm over the 1/2 century mark. I have tried contacting 20/20, 60 minutes, John Stossel, Oprah, Dr. Phil, Good...

  5. "I'll let you talk to Dr Bigego's 'nurse'" (is she really a nurse?)

    DutchgirlRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    You're right but it's not going to happen as long as doctors can get by without paying licensed people to work in their office. Medical Assistants do have a place in healthcare and in the doctors...

  8. Med-error & down n the dumps

    DutchgirlRN replied to Advocate1's topic in General Nursing

    The OP would need to know what the policy actually is and then decide from there what to do. Since they are standing behind her...I would just let it go. She did the right thing all the way around....

  9. "Are you an RN OR LPN ????"

    DutchgirlRN replied to notsosupernurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 200% No it's not about shame. An LPN and an RN are both nurses. I used to be an LPN, I have worked with LPN's who were awesome, much better than RN's. I have no problem what-so-ever with the...

  12. Med-error & down n the dumps

    DutchgirlRN replied to Advocate1's topic in General Nursing

  13. inside the mind of a nurse.....

    DutchgirlRN replied to ERRN92's topic in General Nursing

    :igtsyt: AMEN !!! I never say goodbye to my family or my kids, whether it be in person or on the phone, without adding "I Love You" and it is always reciprocated.

  14. inside the mind of a nurse.....

    DutchgirlRN replied to ERRN92's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I have any ODC type traits because of being a nurse. I do think about the germs on money, door knobs, etc but germs have been in those same places long before I was a nurse. I am...

  15. Unexcusable

    DutchgirlRN replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry if I missed the above info in one of your posts. I can't stand it when posters don't read carefully. My only defense is that I'm a dizzy broad this morning. My left ear is so messed up....

  16. Med-error & down n the dumps

    DutchgirlRN replied to Advocate1's topic in General Nursing

    Every nurse has made a med error. Be extremely happy that you've learned a valuable lesson over an error that did not cause the patient any harm. You would have been fired if they didn't understand...

  17. "Are you an RN OR LPN ????"

    DutchgirlRN replied to notsosupernurse's topic in General Nursing

    My question would be why do you have a problem stating that you're an LPN prior to the patient asking? In all honesty it sounds like you may be worried that the patient may rather have an RN? I...

  18. Unexcusable

    DutchgirlRN replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    Does your hospital have a social worker? In the past, in HH I've been able to go to the social worker with complaints and she has been able to interviene with APS with good results. Beyond that, I...

  19. Online BSN but I have pain when I walk.

    DutchgirlRN replied to LearningRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you have your RN already and are getting your BSN you won't necessarily have to do any clinicals if you go online. Some have clinicals you can do in your own local areas. Some don't require...

  22. Transfusion reaction???

    DutchgirlRN replied to Devil_Duckie's topic in General Nursing

    Duckie you did everything right and handled it by the books. Seriously doubt that jaw pain had anything to do with the blood. Either way, you know she was fine after the transfusion so that's all that...

  23. Fired

    DutchgirlRN replied to Blades's topic in General Nursing

    When you're still under your 90 day probationery period you have the right to quit without any ramifications and the employer has the right to let you go without any ramifications. There would be no...

  24. Unexcusable

    DutchgirlRN replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    As a member of the health care team you have every right and responsibility for protecting your patients. As long as it was something you could handle then why not? Nurses shouldn't be getting in a...

  25. Calling out sick...?

    DutchgirlRN replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    If you go to work with nasal congestion the patient will not appreciate the fact that you came to work. A mask only scares them worse. Stay
