  1. Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    Spangle Brown replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe we should we rewarding and encouraging such behavior. By giving in, it only teaches him that if he escalates his behavior, he gets what he wants. Either he wants treatment, or he...

  2. Health Care is Not a Right

    Spangle Brown replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think many of us are not aware of why we have it in the first place. A friend of mine told me of a trip she took to a third world country. While there, her group got sick enough that they HAD to go...

  3. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    Spangle Brown replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Since they are being trained that way, when they say an officer is going to be investigated, he will be found to have followed protocol. Which is why cops get off, when they are clearly in the wrong....

  4. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    Spangle Brown replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Very true. That is the way most normal people would react. The resisting arrest is something they can use that such a innocent person would STILL be guilty of in such a situation. Another words, we...

  5. 50 Yr Old Experienced RN; Should I go back to school for my BSN or MSN?

    Spangle Brown replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    At her age, I would not even look at the private schools. They are to costly. However, some community colleges have BSN programs. The CC programs are the cheapest way to go. Most BSN programs are on...

  6. fl nursing schools

    Spangle Brown replied to Holly_Wilk's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would look into the community colleges for their ADN programs if you already have the pre's done. Most of them have a direct connect to UCF for the BSN bridge. If you keep your gpa above 3, then...

  7. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Spangle Brown replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    They refused? Maybe because no evidence has been submitted to be considered by the courts. She hasn't even been assessed by Court approved persons. I recall they started a case, but I don't recall...

    Spangle Brown replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Growing up I was told I was allergic to shrimp. The first time I ate it, I turned green over night. Lost everything to the potty. Over the years I questioned wither it was the shrimp, since I had...

  13. Noncompliant diabetic patients

    Spangle Brown replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    True, you don't have time in acute care. But you are assuming that they do not want to deal with them. At some point we need to address WHY a person is non-complient. What have they tried. What was...

  15. GoFundMe Thoughts?

    Spangle Brown replied to singwithme123's topic in General Nursing

    As in all things, buyer beware. I see this no different then the TV hawkers taking money from the elderly and spending it on private planes, etc. No harm in asking. There are always going to be...

    Spangle Brown replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

  22. Is getting my RN at a technical college a bad idea?

    Spangle Brown replied to DanielStern's topic in General Students

    I don't think just having an ADN will get you in for a BSN. The college I am looking at after I finish my ADN still has a list of requirements in order to graduate. Most of them I took as those...

  23. Tylenol ordered for pain.

    Spangle Brown replied to gouranga's topic in Patient Medications

    AS a STUDENT who had something similar on a test, I can state that the correct answer is to follow the orders and not give it. That covers the rules and the legal portion. IF at any point something...

    Spangle Brown replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate and it's exactly how I feel about it. I had nightmares about the Terry Schiavo situation. In the 80's we did not know exactly how HIV and Aids was being spread. The blood supply wasn't...

  25. DNR and Hospice

    Spangle Brown replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Stop apologizing. It was a good thread and a subject that needed to be discussed. You think your the only one who learned, I'm sure you not the only one who wondered. Discussion is a good thing. It...
