2. Would you ever own a motorcycle? YES or NO?

   Abuelita replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

   After my BIL wrecked his motorcycle and landed in the ICU for several weeks, I understood why they call them "donor-cycles". That man was 200 lbs of muscle, but when he left the hospital he weighed barely 160. He broke both collarbones, several ribs ...

   Abuelita replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I did enough OB in my float-nurse days to know that it was anything but cushy, even though it usually was a welcome break from med/surg. It was also on the OB floor that I experienced my one and only death threat (a young dad, upset that Children's S...

10. They Think I'm Working Christmas??

    Abuelita replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    This whole thing is patently unfair. I'm a staff scheduler who makes out each month's schedule six weeks in advance. There's no excuse for waiting until 3 days before a major holiday and then threatening to fire people for not wanting to work it, whe...
