    What was she thinking?!

    Emergent replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    She was probably following some protocol. I remember I had a patient leave with her IV in place, she was a questionable character for sure. We had to call the police. She was the type that definitely...

    Being Asked to Give References for Someone You Don't Respect

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you all do if someone asks you to give a reference, and you really have very little respect for that person's work ethic. You've had a congenial relationship, but you really can't in good...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    My mother was a spelling Nazi. It wasn't a relationship builder when she mailed back a letter with the misspelled words crossed out, and corrected. When I stopped sending letters, she then complained...

    Rude Clinical Student

    Emergent replied to 3319684's topic in General Nursing

    I'll never forget a nursing student who was assigned to my patient one day. The patient was an obvious opioid seeker. The student had obviously had the unit on patient advocacy and meeting the pain...

    Being Asked to Give References for Someone You Don't Respect

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is that I got this person their last job. I also had given a reference before. We both worked at our last job until we got laid off, which was expected. I was pretty appalled at their...

    Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

    Emergent replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Whenever someone says "I'm not judgmental", or "I don't judge", I pretty much disregard what they are about to say. First of all, everyone makes judgments of one type or another. And the people who...

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

    I'm a landlord. Someone answered my ad on Craigslist when I was looking for new tenants once. She informed me that she was a nurse at Dr So&So's office for work. Naturally, I looked her...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    Drug use is a supply and demand situation. Apparently there is a high demand for mood altering drugs in the United States. That is huge factor in this crisis. If there is no demand, there is no profit...

    Fentanyl Crisis

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    The causes of drug abuse are multifactorial. It's simplistic to blame a political party or governmental policy for this complex problem. It may just be a natural result of a society of excess,...

    Emergent replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in Public, Community Health

    I think you know why they are shorthanded. I would not stay. I tried School nursing substituting last year and I really enjoyed everything about it. The main nurse out there is a fantastic...

    Fentanyl Crisis

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    By strong arm of the law I mean protecting non-users, such as this little boy, from the carelessness of addicted people. The government clamped down on tobacco smokers to protect the lungs of...

    Can I be forced to take Spanish speaking classes?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This whole thing sounds weird. First off, the people that I have worked with are called 'Medical Interpreters'. They are trained in medical terminology. They would come into the room when I was...

    "It's all in your head." Advocating for Proper Diagnosis for Female Patients

    Emergent replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    Even if women are more prone to hypochondria, each and every presentation should be taken seriously. We had plenty of drugs seeking frequent flyers in the ER, who had cried wolf many times, but then...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry for your loss. I think all these computer charting mandates have eaten away at any time for that. The nurses are too busy clicking drop-down boxes so the chart reviewers won't have a...

    2 Nurse Skin ✔ q Shift ❓

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, me too. I think my name was on the chart. I think it was a criminal case against a patient who'd been brought to the ER, that was settled before any deposition from me was needed. As I recall,...
