  2. Can any RNs tell me if this is true

    Judee Smudee replied to geminiskittels's topic in General Nursing

    Lets face it folks, we all work with people who have medical conditions and are taking meds that may or may not impair their preformance. In most cases they just keep mum about it. This person is...

    Judee Smudee replied to Antikigirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This so called friend that advised her to go to shady abortion clinic, that dropped her off there and did not stay with her. This same friend did not listen when she said she did not feel well and...

  6. Article in May Nursing 2005 about nurses in Iraq.

    Judee Smudee posted a topic in General Nursing

    It is actually quite good. However, something really suprised me. Here is a direct quote, "Specialist ********* has conflicting responsiblities. A nurse in the detainee ward, he also sometimes...

  7. Article in May Nursing 2005 about nurses in Iraq.

    Judee Smudee replied to Judee Smudee's topic in General Nursing

    That was my first thought that this person was not a nurse but a medic. This article is in a Nursing Magazine and it would be inexcusable for them to describe a medic or nurse aid as a nurse but that...

    Judee Smudee replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Don't they know that every single nurse does not know every single regulation? Let us know how this comes

  9. What is the #1 healthcare problem in the USA?

    Judee Smudee replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Number one is smoking. Why number one when excess pounds are so much more prevalent? Because smoking is a much more deadly killer than fat which I would make number two. Next biggest killer is...

  10. Soa????????????????

    Judee Smudee replied to nursejennie76's topic in Emergency

    My mom told me a similar story. One of her friends saw the physician writing SOB on her chart and became quite outraged. It must happen

  11. Nurse who appeared on Dr. Phil suspended

    Judee Smudee replied to imenid37's topic in General Nursing

    The problems that both these nurses described on TV HAVE to be addressed by their employers and BON. However, I do not think they should automatically be suspended in either case. Very close...

  12. Self-Scheduling

    Judee Smudee replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    My interpetation of self scheduling was different than my old manager. She seemed it to think that it meant that the staff had given their vow to fill in every single open date. I told her "it is...

  13. I have hep c--should I continue with school

    Judee Smudee replied to beginnurse's topic in General Nursing

    In many people it is a self limiting disease that causes no further problems. That is not to say that is does not cause serious illness in other people. Are you discussing any of the new treatments...

  14. How many nurses are unemployed or between jobs right now?

    Judee Smudee replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if I should post or not, I am retired by choice. Most people seem to be out of work due to circumstances beyond their control. I was going to work till 62 but I decided to retire at 60....

  17. Hep B. Know of someone who became sick?

    Judee Smudee replied to Maisie's topic in General Nursing

    I worked when the vaccine was not avaliable and knew someone who became infected as result of needle stick. I was first in line for it when the vaccine became avaliable over 20 years ago. In the...

  18. Discharging disheveled patients from the hospital

    Judee Smudee replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is what I was trying to say in earlier post but I am not as eloquent as you. There is a point at which staffing is so inadequate that it becomes impossible to give good care. There are actually...

  19. Discharging disheveled patients from the hospital

    Judee Smudee replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Part of it could be due to the fact there is very little staff in the hospital. When we had 6 on med/surg to care for 24 patients these things got addressed. When it went down to 5 for 24 it was a...

  20. coumadin error

    Judee Smudee replied to medicarelpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Judee Smudee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Now I am not going to make a negative or positive comment at this point because I have not seen the show. I only know three things at this point. One is that the promo they are running specifically...

  22. Anyone hate their first job?

    Judee Smudee replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    From what I see here more people hate their first job than not. Health care facilities just keep going through new nurses till they find one willing to put up with the crap. Seems to me that has...

  24. Prepare yourselves, the drug addict on Dr. Phil is a nurse.

    Judee Smudee replied to Judee Smudee's topic in General Nursing

    Guess what, I have nothing negative to say about this show. It is an excellent piece of work. This addict needed someone to tear into her just like Dr. Phil is doing. Right ON! You know why, it is...

  25. Prepare yourselves, the drug addict on Dr. Phil is a nurse.

    Judee Smudee replied to Judee Smudee's topic in General Nursing

    No profession, no level of education makes a person drug abuse proof. Are some groups less likely than others to have members that use drugs? Of course there are but that does not exclude the...
