4. "Stupid Nurse Tricks"

   mistersleepy replied to mistersleepy's topic in Humor

   OK, As a student I had an instructor who really intimidated me. I was older and was used to being more chummy with the profs than with my class mates but she would have none of that. Well, she wore starched whites every day. On one day I had to g...

5. I Don't Think So!

   mistersleepy replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

   Sean, While I agree that there must have been more to the story, I have seen "no call no show" listed in the State BON flier as grounds for disciplinary action against a nurse in Nebraska. I was not trying to say that what the original poster did was...

7. I Don't Think So!

   mistersleepy replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

   Just an FYI, No call, no show is grounds for losing your liscense. I think I would contact the BON about the situation before the DON does. Just my 2 cents worth. Robert

   Unless you think that LTC is where you want to end up, take the 120 hour course and find a hospital job. You will learn far more and have a much greater variety even if the pay is a little less. I was a CNA in both LTC and Acute care while going to ...

   mistersleepy replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

   Reyna, If I understand correctly from the previous thread, you already graduated with a BSN, why not take NCLEX-RN? I took my boards within 3 weeks of my graduation. Robert

13. "Stupid Nurse Tricks"

    mistersleepy posted a topic in Humor

    We have all heard them. Tell me a stroy about something really stupid (funny) that a fellow nurse (or yourself) did. No "I heard about a student once who..." stories. But share things you know actually happened. I'm salavating in anticipation...

    Get everything set up on a bedside table first. Including the extension, already flushed with the syringe on the other end of it, and the tegaderm with the back already removed. Once you get it, place a finger over the proximal end of the cath tip ...
