  1. ""Flipping out !""

    Thanks for your reply. I would definitely PM. I probably won't do it...but I will think on it. So what are you doing up at 3 a.m.? I was asleep. I left the patio door open for the chilly night fresh air breeze, and...... a damned b...
  2. Staffing, acuities, general BS: I gotta vent!!

    I was reading a Nursing Educator's Journal last month. It was a real eye-opener. Not so much that it said anything I wasn't aware of --on a sub-concious level. But, the brazen, concentrated , unapologetic manner in which "the fact...
  3. ""Flipping out !""

    If you knew -- for certain-- that someone on this BB was "losing it", would you tell them? Just curious....if you would advise them to see their doc ASAP
  4. Dreading going into work tomorrow....

    "THIS TOO, SHALL PASS ." Try to focus on 1. the patients, 2. the families, 3. the docs, 4. the boss. The dynamics of consenting to make ones' family member a DNR are as numerous as the corn cobs in Indiana. Don't for...
  5. Well I did it! I quit my regular job to go to agency.

    How large a city are you in? Lots of hospitals? It helps to get a contract. Then, you get agency pay and work at the same hospital just like a employee. Watch your meds and Iv's when you first go to a hospital. New tubings, meds, etc. ...
  6. OW! Cramp! OW! Cramp!!

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOOT CRAMP!!! ".....ever had one during sex????" Yo, honey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With all your yelling, LOVERBOY will think he is doing you SOME GOOD !!!! LOL
  7. Religion and work-- is there a median?

    I think there is a time and a place for everything. I don't think a small place on a shelf at work for any kind of icons/amulets is appropriate. "a little piece of wood" could be left in your pocket if it gives you a...
  8. Bioterrorism/Disaster Volunteers?

    LOL NRA A couple of weeks ago, they put up a paper for the regular nurses (employees) of the hospital that asked?? ""How long would it take for you to arrive at the hospital in the event of a threat? crisis? etc.?" It di...
  9. 6 weeks into school, I got stuck and i don't know what to do

    This is an outrageous and 100 % preventable incident. And the prof is 100 % responsible . She knew ahead of time what was going to take place ( the glucose testing) and not one person should have been tested until she had appropriate sha...
  10. P.S. CCU is generally pretty quiet once you get the anti-arrhythmics going.... and a little O2 and heparin, etc.... not much action really. And lucky you...vacationing in this perfect weather.... I am too...in 2 hours !! H...
  11. Here's what usually happens Ted. If you have the 4 CCU beds filled and the tele R/O goes bad, you can generally switch out the stablest CCU pt. Re-evaluate and re - prioritize....name of the game in ICU. Or, Someone ...
  12. 6 weeks into school, I got stuck and i don't know what to do

    Scary. I've been stuck about 3 times. What were the circumstances that the lancet was where you would be stuck with it? I see lotsa stuff casually stuck into sharps containers and hanging out of them.... my pet peeve. I ...
  13. Did I change my mind?? I don't see it.
  14. "Hypothetical" situation....

    I do not know EXACTLY, but I'll share with you what I do know. Just like every place else in this world, I think it depends on who your friends are. Case #1. Nurse wrote orders for meds on dr.s order sheet. When meds came to ...
  15. flocks of white birds clogging our hallways

    Canoehead, you are so right. They really don't know where to stand. Also, this is their "classroom." The resident or god forbid ...faculty -- admitting dr.-- might ask one of them a question about the pt. &/or the pt.'s ...
