    You had your thread regarding this issue closed because people didn't agree with

  3. Starting an IV with Lidocaine or Not?

    TheGooch replied to hayest's topic in Patient Medications

    Sorry but the lidocaine stick does not hurt as much as getting an IV. I refuse to let them start one until they do the lidocaine stick. The pain from an IV is horrible IMO. Not a problem at the one...

  4. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

    TheGooch replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh Lord, LOL. I waited over 5 hours in an ER where I live for a broken ankle that hurt so bad I couldn't stand on it. The pain from that was horrible. Yet I didn't be a crybaby and come to AllNurses...

  5. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

    TheGooch replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Grown men are the worst when it comes to pain. Good thing they don't give birth. There would be less children in the world. Personally, the OP sounds like he went to the ER and whined every so often...

  6. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

    TheGooch replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In this day and age of entitlement the OP obviously thought he was entitled to be treated quickly and before all the people who were really sick or dying at this ER. In the ER I went to for my broken...

  7. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

    TheGooch replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. "What to Expect When You're a Patient"

    TheGooch replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I believe the OP was just ranting-they probably had a bad day. No one is perfect and if they can't rant here where else is there. People need to chill

  11. What's to complain about?

    TheGooch replied to guest449786's topic in General Nursing

    But isn't that what you were doing? Whining because other occupations that don't require a college education get paid more than nurses? At least that's the way I(and obviously several others) see it....

  12. Foot in mouth, now a social pariah

    TheGooch replied to arack05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You guys are always talking about giving away things regarding ones identity. Why should they share here what was

  14. Do you need a tb and an x-ray as part of your physical?

    TheGooch replied to WE~DO~CARE's topic in General Nursing

    If healthcare providers are required to be immunized why aren't volunteers? Seem to me they would carry the same risks of carrying

  15. Being Nurse Ratched

    TheGooch replied to proud nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You won't. Everything you said about her is

  16. Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    TheGooch replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    That applies to the people who start a thread and when others reply in a way they don't want to hear, the OP starts screaming to "get off my thread". Seen it several time times. Quite frankly that...

  17. What should I do?

    TheGooch replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I had my Mom in a SNF and just settled out of court because of her wrongful death. This NH is owned by a very large corporation that is more concerned with money over the well being of the residents....

  18. Starting to think there should be some limits...

    TheGooch replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    People who do it are advised not to but it falls on deaf

  19. What should I do?

    TheGooch replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    That's why you should wait for your dream job. Like I said, not everyone has the advantages you have-your Mom has no problem letting you stay at home while you find a job that you'll like. Everyone...

  20. What should I do?

    TheGooch replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    LOL-that's exactly what I told her in one of her other threads about the subject. There's a lot of people looking for jobs PERIOD who don't have the luxury of living at home and a savings account....

  21. What should I do?

    TheGooch replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Since you live at home and your Mom doesn't mind you shouldn't take a job that you feel is so beneath you and wait for that dream job. Why would you want to work at a place that you obviously don't...

  22. How would you handle this situation?

    TheGooch replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if the OP meant it or not but she actually came across as quite entitled in her post.
