  3. How UNprofessional do you think this is??

    Miss Ludie replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    Miss Ludie replied to buildingmyfaith57's topic in General Nursing

    Miss Ludie replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

  11. So she go after the sabotaging nurses's license or job?

    Miss Ludie replied to dfk's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'd be a nurse and that would be it. Is it a for certain he is what you think he is? I gave up a long time back asking criminals/inmates why they were in hospital when one told me he raped and...

  15. Shaky hands

    Miss Ludie replied to suzy253's topic in Nursing Career

    Ya I got the twitchy hands too. Hereditary or genetic or whatever, I found that if I tap my foot while I'm doing something the shake goes away a bit. If you are starting a IV hole the neele in your...

  16. The most emotional nurse-patient moment that you've had or heard about

    Miss Ludie replied to browsing's topic in General Nursing

  19. Should there be a limit on trying to pass NCLEX?

    Miss Ludie replied to 2ndCareerRN's topic in General Nursing

  20. Anyone heard of serotonin syndrome? Anyone experienced it??

    Miss Ludie replied to passing thru's topic in Psychiatric

    Bupropion isn't an SSRI...is it? Gosh I hope it isn't 'cause I take it and Lexapro which IS an SSRI...going to have to do some reading I guess. I have felt those symptoms before though.

  21. Phasing out LPN's.

    Miss Ludie replied to BJ, LPN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  24. Blatant Nursing "No-No's"........what's your worst???

    Miss Ludie replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

    Sure they were sterile. We had either sterile glass medicine cups, or after we got plastic syringes we could pop the top off (Monoject-I think). You'd tip the MS pill from the sterile supply into the...

  25. Would you seriously consider quitting nursing

    Miss Ludie replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    The doctors seem to get away with a lot, but it's the disrespect of managers and directors that crushes your (my) soul for Nursing. The attitude of "nurses are a dime a dozen, a monkey could do that,...
