  1. Drug Seekers- the Wrongfully Accused

    FutureNrse replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    I understand what you're saying, patients like you described have to be a drain on the staff. They should be cut off when the number of visits becomes extreme. They should be given proper notice that...

  2. Drug Seekers- the Wrongfully Accused

    FutureNrse replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Can I just have mine with a coffee

  3. Drug Seekers- the Wrongfully Accused

    FutureNrse replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Ohhh how awful for you. I've been through dry socket too and I agree that it's excruciating and there is no let up in the pain until it's healed. So that means days and days of unrelenting agony. I'm...

  4. Drug Seekers- the Wrongfully Accused

    FutureNrse replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    What a great post, no one has said it as well as you just did. It seems like you really and truly try to do the right thing for all patients. I have thought of some possible ways to deal with the...

  5. Drug Seekers- the Wrongfully Accused

    FutureNrse replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    But is this actually true? I was under the impression that "stronger" doesn't really apply when discussing pain meds. It's also quite common for different people to have different reactions to...

  6. Drug Seekers- the Wrongfully Accused

    FutureNrse replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Your husband is lucky to have you on his side. It's too bad that the average person doesn't have you to go to bat for them, and instead they get the muscle relaxer ( if that ) and get sent

  7. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    FutureNrse replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    LOL Oh my god, that is classic. Poor dumbsh$t probably has no clue that this is NOT

  8. Bad Delivery

    FutureNrse replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you so much for your kind words. We were made to feel like a home birth was wrong, and even told that the reason most choose a home birth is because the mother drinks or uses drugs and doesn't...

  9. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Great post. You're so right about the amount of work involved for a baby to BF. It's obvious that you've been through the experience. I do think most moms need more education, it would help the ones...

  10. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    As a mom of 4, I've had a lot of experience with this topic. One thing that I truly believe though is that there is no hard and fast science to breastfeeding and a lot of factors make it different...

  11. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    FutureNrse replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    My ex said orientated so much that...he became my EX!

  12. lpn being mistreated

    FutureNrse replied to qje999's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I may not know anything about nursing, but I know about the job market in general and I'd say that your age should have no bearing on you finding a new job. If you are that unhappy in your current...

  13. Bad Delivery

    FutureNrse replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, we don't have a lot of choice really, we have to go to the hospital or risk being treated like whackos. Although I wasn't using the Bradley method, I wanted to have my last child at home. I...

  14. 10/10 pain..venting!

    FutureNrse replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    I have to ask...what is the deal with pushing it fast? Is that a druggie thing, like a rush or something? Is it real or just imagined? I would assume that it would make no real difference but I'm not...

  15. 10/10 pain..venting!

    FutureNrse replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    Well, I'd have to say that I agree, and disagree. Once, I was given Toradol when I broke a tooth and it worked okay, brought me down from a 9 to 4. Another time I was given Toradol when the herniated...

  16. Drug Seekers- the Wrongfully Accused

    FutureNrse replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Ohhh I like your idea! My idea was to go to the ER and find the doctor and the 2 nurses who treated me like dirt about 6 months ago, and give them all copies of my test results showing the herniated...

  17. manipulative patients / drug seekers

    FutureNrse replied to LuvMyFireman's topic in General Nursing

    Remember, docs and nurses can be held liable for undertreating pain Really? Then there are several I need to sue for the years that I spent in pain before I was finally treated properly and had my...

  18. manipulative patients / drug seekers

    FutureNrse replied to LuvMyFireman's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand this either. That poor person is probably suffering physically and emotionally. I say give them what makes them happy. If they're terminal, give them as much as they can safely...

  19. warning..long rant..nurse skills in question!

    FutureNrse replied to okie2's topic in General Nursing

    It's awful when this kind of thing happens. Although I'm not saying that I'm glad a nurse went through it, I'm glad that you had a chance to see what the average patient goes through. Us regular...

  20. migraine faker at the ED!

    FutureNrse replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    The extra details do make the situation a little clearer. For the most part, I don't understand the things I've read about patients requesting a certain drug. I've never done that, and probably never...

  21. Nursing School Bloopers

    FutureNrse replied to Jabber964's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have no nursing experience, no nursing school...nothing. But, somehow, I think I can figure this one out. Lemme see if I get it right. If you have an incision that has been stapled shut and someone...

  22. Treated badly in ER of hospital I work at!

    FutureNrse replied to missmolly's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing, and your emotions got the best of you. I say it's both because, this is pretty common in the ER really and most people just put up with it. But since you are a nurse, and it's...

  23. migraine faker at the ED!

    FutureNrse replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    Well said! This is all similar to the "back pain" pt's that present to the ED. I had a pt. the other day who apparently had a previous back injury that he had been through physical therapy for. He had...

  24. Feeling frustrated and inadequate

    FutureNrse replied to ~Kitty~'s topic in General Nursing

    How about an opinion from a non-nurse? You may not feel like a super-nurse right now because you've made mistakes, but I can assure you that at least one patient you dealt with very recently thought...

  25. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?
