That's terrible!
I feel so bad for your poor mother and you.

Nursing standards are really going to Hell.

Having just received another "friendly" request that I not be myself here in the Forum, I will no longer be posting here at all.

I will continue to respond to private and visitor messages if and when I am inclined to do so.

She never felt the need to tell me why she was doing something until I got in her face about it (i.e., strolled in and proceeded to get ready to catheterize her without even commenting on it. That did NOT happen.) She completely ruined mom's veins trying to get an iv in, and when she blew the first one she didn't believe that mom was hurting so bad until I dragged her back in and showed her. It was a MISERABLE Halloween.

I hate hate hate incompetency.

I'm so sorry to hear this. As someone with LOTS of experience in the ER and regular hospital rooms, (not for me) I"m very familiar with how important good nurses are to the experience. They can literally make things worse.

There are nursing supervisors for a reason.......please don't hesitate to demand to see one if this happens again.

Where did you hear this? epguides.com shows that it is on hiatus and new shows will return in December. thetvdb.com shows that next episode named "O Little Town..." airs 07 Dev 2010.

Yes! Or rather, No! Don't stay away too long. I dislike it as well and just assume that it is a mis-communication.

In reference to my earlier rant, please let me add that ER nurses have been near and dear to my heart over the past few years. This is our "regular" hospital and our "regular" ER, but this is the first time in years we've had this kind of experience. Generally the staff there bends over backwards to communicate and to make everything better.

I guess that's why I was so upset by the whole experience. Thank you to everybody for the messages of support! She's still sick, but hopefully things will turn around tomorrow...

Not cool. Anyhow, I am not here to judge, just helping to understand.

you need to forward stuff like that onto the mods. there is no reason for anyone to be abusive here

I hope not. They seem to go through long lulls periodically where the don't post new shows of Eureka, then suddenly they're back with a batch of them. I hope that's the case this time.

Boy, I sure hope you guys are correct. Although some of the latest plots have been a bit far fetched, we really enjoy that show. Delightful characters, fun concepts, and just enough science fiction to keep us interested!

Have you ever heard someone try to emulate a computer generated voice? We have a fairly concerted phishing attack going on here on the beautiful Sandwich Islands where someone with a 951-231-2064 or 786-587-6357 (both obviously spoofed) phone number calls your cell phone, and while trying to sound like a computer tells you your account will be closed unless you call a mainland US phone number and give away the farm.

Not only is the lady in question a really bad actress, but I don’t even have an account at the bank she said would be closed. I’ve gotten two of them in the last three days!
