Then the CEO is also an IDIOT!

It's obvious this CEO isn't a Nurse!

Unless one of them becomes your patient, none of your business. They certainly will not listen if they aren't your patient, and I'm willing to bet they won't listen if they are. I work with many Nurses that smoke, some that are obese, a diabetic that constantly eats whatever and then complains about blood sugar levels being high. You can't fix stupid, so just ignore it. You'll sleep better.

Jig, Sounds to me that you work for a horrible company if they are willing to lie to a patient. You mentioned a previous event where a patient had skin breakdown up his back, and was told he was allergic to tegaderm. That's BS! Get out of there, while you still have your Nursing license!

You are completely missing the point, or completely being stupid. Hard to tell which.

I have actually told a patient #3!

As an ED nurse, you focus on the reason the patient came in. Such as chest pain. As a floor nurse, I'm focusing on everything else that was found while the patient was in the ED. And up to 5 other patients at the same time. No, I don't always have time to look at your chart, nor do I always have access to it. The admitting practitioner may it. The facility may not have the same electronic charting in the ED and on the floors. There are any number of reasons as a floor nurse I can't look at the chart, so as an ED nurse, you will be asked questions, sorry.
