    trishmsn replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't see at first that you were a military family....it is a good thing that you are in nursing school, as I would bet that your DH will be medically boarded out sooner than later . [i am a vet,...

  4. Doctor insists I use expired Dilaudid on patients

    trishmsn replied to Buffy31's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Sadly, she is too new and too emeshed with the "family" dynamics to even know how deep the muck she is settling into really IS!!! Good riddance to bad rubbish....some paychecks are simply NOT worth...

  5. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

    trishmsn replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

    I have neuropathic pain NOT related to diabetes, and it was my experience that an MRI was not needed, nor did it change the treatment plan. In years of palliative care, the bottom line question...

  6. Nurses selling at work?

    trishmsn replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think there is large difference between Girl Scout cookies and school fundraiser items being laid on a table in the break room for a few day, and active solicitation of ADULT marketing. I am not a...

  7. Doctor insists I use expired Dilaudid on patients

    trishmsn replied to Buffy31's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  9. Nurses promoting faux alternatives to medicine

    trishmsn replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    Therein demonstrating the limits of your "tolerance", which is both ironic and very, very sad. Hate is pretty ugly, no matter who it is being directed toward. It is not a state of mind that I am...

  11. Prospective employer wants to speak with my manager?

    trishmsn replied to allybear's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There are no sure things, but I usually note that it is acceptable to check with HR to verify employment and/or salary, but that I do NOT give permission to speak with my current supervisor unless an...

  12. Being told to "clock out" and doing more work!

    trishmsn replied to VioletRiotz's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As stated, this is illegal in all fifty states, D.C., and every U.S territory. Only those on salary can be expected to work outside of normal designated hours, with the idea that they are done when...

  13. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    trishmsn replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Some people will always denigrate those with more education or more knowledge (not always the same thing!) to make themselves feel better. Human nature is often not pretty.... That having been said,...

  14. Nurses promoting faux alternatives to medicine

    trishmsn replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    Lumping Elvis sightings and mainstream religions like Judism and Christianity together is painting with a bit of a broad brush...and only serves to highlight the limitations of the scientific process....

  15. Need a seasoned nurse's advice

    trishmsn replied to marvelmom's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This particular issue isn't even a mean "girls" problem, it is a human problem. The military has policies that prevent soldiers (or airmen, etc.) from serving as officers in the same unit in which...

  16. Nurses promoting faux alternatives to medicine

    trishmsn replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    Darn...I was HOPING that these were the sort of self-proclaimed "Nurse" we run into on the phone, trying to give orders for "their" doctor's practice, or interpreting X-rays, or who went to "nursing"...

  18. Long Lost Dream Or Not?

    trishmsn replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    Considering the number of NP programs that accept new grads with the ink still wet on their BSN diplomas, I don't see why they would exclude YOU. The new grads have ZERO clinical experience other...

    trishmsn replied to kmph's topic in Nurses Recovery

    #1....I am also a vet. 'Nuff said. #2....you asked a question, and clearly did not care for my response. So be it, I am not your mother or your employer. The point remains that you will find...

  20. Sooooo much debt already

    trishmsn replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    Murse....the most important thing is to get these loans paid off as quickly as is humanly possible, and not the 10-20 years that they "allow" you to pay over. Regardless of the interest rate, those...

    trishmsn replied to Katja508's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I may be off-base, but it would not surprise me that your overwhelming desire to be a mommy, using the job as a vehicle for getting to this goal, does not show through in your interactions with...
