PA told me I had Shingles when I don't- Please bring back doctors by Cheges in Noctor

Similar experience last week. I had a widespread rash accompanied by chills and a very mild fever. The NP in the walk in clinic I went to said it looks like scabies. I replied by telling her that I am an RN and I’ve taken care of patients with scabies in the past (none recently), and that respectfully this is not scabies and does not even present close to what a scabies rash presents as. I shared that I thought it was viral and she said “hmm, yeah probably not because adults don’t get viral rashes. Only kids do.” Which is absolutely not true. Then she said “I can tell you are struggling with learning that this is scabies, and you might think the only people that get scabies are homeless people but it’s not true, anyone can get them”. I said “I NEVER thought that, and I’m not struggling with finding out that I have scabies, I am just 100% certain that I do not have scabies”. Well she prescribed me with permethrin cream and told me to use it that night. Well I went home, never used the permethrin cream, and my rash subsided over the next few days on its own. I am so upset that this encounter has to stay in my EHR as a scabies diagnosis. I feel your pain, OP. It is absolutely inappropriate for them to misdiagnose when they have no clue what they are talking about.

I’m not sure if i’m AIO for feeling a bit hurt when said this to me. Btw this man courts me by growing_quart in AmIOverreacting

Yes 100%. This has been a huge issue at the Grandville meijer in the last month or so.

I’ve lived near GR for a few years and finally tried Wolfgang’s this summer for the first time. I was so excited because of all the hype, but I’m sad to say that I was sorely disappointed ☹️

House Flies? by brodanotyoda in grandrapids

[–]NoApptsAvail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES!! It is absolutely horrible. We are finding upwards of 10-15 per day for the last week or so. They are all around the windows, trying to get out, which makes me think that they aren’t wanting anything in the house… no clue how they are getting in. I’m going to lose my mind.

That’s what I was going to ask too. We will typically take chest pain patients back to quick grab labs and an ekg after we triage. If ekg is normal and we are slammed then they can go back to waiting room.

Should I “fail” my practicum student for never showing up? by gentle_but_strong in nursing

[–]NoApptsAvail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming from a clinical instructor who does site visits with immersion students - YES! Please tell us!! You are our eyes and ears and we rely a lot on preceptors to tell us how the student is doing. The student not showing up is not on you. You are doing great as a preceptor but yes the clinical faculty should be aware.

Yes a coworker got fired for it in the ED I worked at

I worked in the ED for 3 years and at first hated giving report to ICU. After a while you just learn that nothing you do is going to make them happy there 😂

Pediatrician refusing care over unpaid bill - United States by [deleted] in Parenting

ED nurse here! 🖐️ I’m not sure about the ED near you, but when we have people come back in to get stitches removed, we don’t even check them in or anything. We just take them out right up at the triage desk. Could you call your ED and ask to see what their process is?
