I'm pretty sure that the members here cannot give medical advice or even legal advice. You really need to contact your personal doctor. . I wish you success going forward though

I was thinking the same thing

Years ago I had a Nurse falsify MY blood sugar in my records. I KNEW damn well she never tested it. She said it was something like 150 so she gave me 5U of "R" Insulin. UGH....in less than 15 minutes I took my own blood sugar because I didnt feel ...

Whether you think you are or think you aren't.....you're right. I wish you luck and success

If ever given the chance, the need or the opportunity I would wish you could be my Nurse. I would be proud to take direction / education from you as My Nurse. I have horrible horrible pain issues and have had them form more than 20 years. Ive taken...

The State would love to hear this scheme....not to mention Medicare and other Gov't programs

Dont byte my head off for asking this. Im seriously curious. Ive been in the hospital so many times thru the years. Ive had 30 some surgeries blah blah blah but Im curious. Would it be plausible to ask the patient if he'd be ok waiting just a lit...

At the risk of getting my "membership" here handed to me on a platter..Id like to ask something. Please keep in mind I am not and never was a Nurse of any degree. I do have great respect for all of you in the Medical Field. My Medical side is only e...

I so love almost every one of your responses. I may have to start stalking you (so I can learn more of course). Thanks for speaking out.

Another good post. Sheeeeeesh I need to come here more often. Ive been a patient recovering from back surgery. A failed one I might add. I am not a "dug user" of any thing illicit. But have had 30 some surgeries to keep me upright and walking with ...

Awwww Man...I wish I could like this post about a million times. Ive seen and dealt with so many Nurses like the OP. I always do my best to "lay a little education on them" rather than pick a fight (not in the literal sense of course) Ive been judge...

And you've come back for all the right reasons. Ive read your postings on and off since like forever ago. Great news on the remaining clean and free from the demons. Anyway I just wanted to say CONGRATS!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]24584[/ATTACH]

Kooky, I just wanted to tell you I love your nic, I giggle jus' a lil everytime I read your posts. I also wanted to say your posts all seem so well thought out and well placed. Im glad you contribute here. Hmmmm, Im 'sposed to be stalking someone els...

Id do everything in my power to make sure you were never ever allowed to treat anybody I know or love. Your post smacks of judgement and your words show it.

So many things seem to influence calling in sick a lot. Where I am, with a mix of Nurse and laypeople, it's usually the nurses who call in...a LOT. But, we've also found that if there is any form of confusion or trouble on the floor the amount of c...

Ive had all kinds of surgeries....3 on a shoulder....10 on 1 knee...and the nurses all marked the spot themselves. Then just as I was being wheeled into the OR I was asked what part they'd be doing surgery on.

Now vs Know Supposively or supposably vs supposedly Pasific vs Specific Redeculous vs Ridiculous Won't vs Want Are vs Our To vs Too vs Two Libary vs Library Febewary vs February .....people dont seem to care how they write anymore. (I personally su...

I had to come back here and post. Im sitting here watching a show where a woman had triple bypass surgery. This woman is in her mid to late 60s, the picture of health etc. So they take her back to surgery on a narrow gurney, no side rails, no IVs,...

Bravo Bravo Bravo

I would seriously rethink posting where you work on Facebook or anything similar. Ive known people to get a wild hair up their a$$ and get someone fired. Spreading a rumor is never innocent nor does it have to be true. Just planting the seed in th...

My comment may mean absolutely nothing because Im not a nurse....and maybe I shouldnt be posting but I am. Never let it be said I played by all the rules. Anyway.... Ive said before but here it goes again. Ive spent a LOT of time in the hospital..a...

Im so sorry to hear of your injury Amnesty. Years ago in a far off land I injured my back. Since then Ive had 7 surgeries and Im full of titanium pins plates and screws. I take a fair amount of pain meds and almost literally cannot walk 5 or 10 min...

Here's what I dont understand. I see it in the Nursing profession as well as My own profession which is kind of on the hinges of Nursing. You get hired by a company....any company. You accept the pay, the hours, the benefits, the __________ of nu...

I wondered how long it'd be before someone caught the "typos" by one making literacy and reading comprehension skills remarks. *** SBE

All....and Im the type of person that hates that. LOL. I dont like not speaking to my bffs / kids / sisters / bro et al for long periods of time. I was actually called the "Bully" at work several years ago. A couple employees from my unit actually ...
