3. Nurses don't know the lab

   Brown-Hughes RN replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, I'm was a lab tech for 15 years before deciding to obtain my BSN. I really enjoyed being a lab tech but becoming a nurse was my passion. I can somewhat understand what the OP was stating although I could've been expressed a little differently. T...

   Brown-Hughes RN replied to Tenebrae's topic in Humor

   Ridiculous! Listen to yourself. You honestly think a nurse of 17 years would want to start over because of a complaint? Smh....

   I'm far from feeling like I'm holier than thou. I see there's a problem with me not being a part of the heard. Grow a set and maybe you'll realize that I can have a opinion that totally opposite from yours without feeling it's directed towards you.

   Brown-Hughes RN replied to Tenebrae's topic in Humor

   Really! You don't care! Because it seems to me that you do because you were the one saying I was a black sheep! I'm not condemning anyone. Again, I have a OPINION, as well as others, and I expressed it. You believe all nurses are careful at how we r...

10. Black Humour

    Brown-Hughes RN replied to Tenebrae's topic in Humor

    Look, I respond when I quoted. It can affect your employment if it's heard by someone that don't share the same sense of humor as you. We don't know who would take things further and make a complaint. I wouldn't do such a thing because as you can tel...

    Brown-Hughes RN replied to Tenebrae's topic in Humor

    I've been in health care for 15 years and I would never think something like this is appropriate. However, if you can't see nothing wrong with it, you'll never will until it affects your employment. Hopefully it'll never come to that but I truly beli...

    Brown-Hughes RN replied to Tenebrae's topic in Humor

    Oh definitely, I will continue with my own version of coping strategies when it comes to the loss of a patient and it doesn't include running to the nearest restroom to ball my eyes out. If that's what it takes for you to get thru the day after losi...

    Brown-Hughes RN replied to Tenebrae's topic in Humor

    You keep saying "only other healthcare professionals understand." I am a healthcare professional and I really don't understand. BTW, I work in CC and have experience in trauma. So on that note, I wish you all the best and hope that one day you'll re...

    Brown-Hughes RN replied to Tenebrae's topic in Humor

    Fortunately CamillusRN, I haven't developed a dark sense of humor and I'm sure I will never poke fun at the death of a patient. There's plenty of other coping strategies that could be utilized, humor is just not the one. Put yourself in their familie...

    Brown-Hughes RN replied to Tenebrae's topic in Humor

    Actually, I have a great sense of humor! I just don't think making fun at the expense of someone's death is appropriate. I never called anyone cold-hearted or a freak but maybe somewhere in the back of your mind, you know you're wrong.
