  1. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

    doodlebuttRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    applewhiteRN you beat me to it!! This one drives me crazy. My husband says it sometimes just to get under my skin.

  2. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    doodlebuttRN replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was referring to the insinuation you made that "if you are a BSN (therefore not applicable to ADN or LPN) you know that being a professional requires that you teach what you know." All nurses teach,...

  4. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    doodlebuttRN replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    (QUOTE from kellyaburton): In my freshman year, we had a teacher that loved to yell at her students in front of other staff and other patients. Not only that, she was a horrible classroom teacher! The...

  5. Nasty Coworkers should i stay or should I go?

    doodlebuttRN replied to enfermeratobe's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Good on you for sticking it out as long as you have in this toxic environment. If I were you, I would definitely be looking for something else. Once I found a new job, I'd kindly give my notice,...

  7. Attention nurse bullies... and victims!!

    doodlebuttRN replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I NEVER speak on these "bullying" threads. But Ruby, as always, you have hit the nail on the head. I wish I could quote this post to all of the new (and not-new) nurses I know and work with. As ever,...

  8. Arghh, am I the only one is tired of systematic cheating

    doodlebuttRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Huh? Please be more specific... what 'systemic cheating' are you seeing on ACLS/BLS? On CEUs? I don't understand. I absolutely do not see this,

  9. Patient without a bed ( or anything else)

    doodlebuttRN replied to moonovermiami's topic in Private Duty

    Wow. What type of equipment? (besides the bed, I mean) I can't imagine them collecting ventilators, pulse oxes, suction machines, or critical equipm ent without notice. What is your patient doing...

  10. public school systems

    doodlebuttRN replied to lalonzo27's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yeah, well if you want YOUR kids to go to school with MY kids then you have no choice but to follow the rules. The health and safety of the students is more important than your choice to believe...

  11. Frequent cancellations

    doodlebuttRN replied to firemedic12's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I completely understand where you're coming from. Many, many people (in nursing and elsewhere) cannot afford to be cancelled when we are depending on a steady, regular, CONSISTENT income. There's...

  12. Getting exercise

    doodlebuttRN replied to rn2bcareer111's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I work 10 hour overnights (2100-0700) 5 days a week, and I go to the gym right after work in the morning. If I wait too long, I get tired and don't want to go. When I get home after a workout, I...

  13. What would you do about this issue?

    doodlebuttRN replied to NurseK32190's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Write her up. Every time. Create a paper trail for administration. And it will let her know that you are paying attention, and will hold her

  14. Don't be catty (literally)

    doodlebuttRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Aah! Emergent.... you had me going there!! I have really wanted to bring a new individual into my place, but the guy we have now... he'd claw her eyes out. A real cat-fight, you might say. Talk about...

  17. Getting so busy and forgot to notify the charge nurse about a small med error

    doodlebuttRN replied to georgya3's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, way to jump all over someone who was trying to offer you GOOD advice. Again. Jeez. I started reading this thread, feeling for the OP but she keeps blatantly disregarding good advice and getting...

  18. is the med error my fault?

    doodlebuttRN replied to WatermelonW's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of facilities still transcribe orders, and this is one of the issues that comes with it. I agree that if anyone is 'at fault' it is probably the pharmacy/MD/ person who was supposed to reconcile...

  19. Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    doodlebuttRN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I have always loved (LOVED) to read. If I could, I'd be reading books all day long. My mother instilled this love in my siblings and I very early on; we would rather sit around together and read than...

  22. Dear Abby and social induction of pregnancy

    doodlebuttRN replied to teacupRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Please google 'Dearest Scooter.' He gives Dear Abby the what-for. Sorry, I'm not in L&D either, and can't add much to the thread, but this guy really puts Abby in perspective. He also hosts...

  23. Patients or family members that lie about you

    doodlebuttRN replied to rnccf2007's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was working on a SNF as charge for several years. We had a long term, extremely manipulative patient for about 14 months. The type who was put in one of the single rooms by the nursing station...

  24. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    doodlebuttRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, I get that you are a passive type person. You need to get angry. You need to be angry that this man is using his position to take advantage of you. He has put you in an awful position with regard...
