1. Nursing and tattoos

   mesixfuture replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

   "Tattoos I don't mind - wouldn't get one but I don't mind them. Can't say the same for body piercings though - especially those in and around the mouth. I just can't stop staring at the rotten thing and it annoys me because I usually like to watch so...

2. What's the weirdest baby name?

   mesixfuture replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Lucifero (Dad came complete with whited out contacts and filed vampire teeth) Swear. And Alucard (Dracula backwards because he was a little "monster" in her teenaged tummy)

3. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

   mesixfuture replied to Trixxy's topic in Humor

   Teenage boy presents to the ED, hasn't voided in 23 hours d/t erection d/t um..pleasuring himself with....oragel. Oragel? Yeah, I still can't figure out what the inspiration for that one was.

4. Unsupportive 'team' members

   mesixfuture replied to Chixie's topic in Relations

   You definitely need to do something about this problem ASAP before some serious patient harm comes down. Nobody likes to have to write up a fellow employee especially when you're new. You can try talking to them, but these sound like some rough broad...

5. Tattoos and nursing

   mesixfuture replied to ryanna112's topic in General Nursing

   I have two tattoos, both that I got after I became a nurse, they are both on my back and always covered when I go to work. I don't think they should have to be, but I made a concious decision to have them placed there because I understand that there ...

   love the quote! is this an rn or lpn program that has the 80% cutoff? i'm in an rn program now, but i know when i went thru lpn school our grade cutoff was high. good luck in your program btw.

7. Young Eating Unit Secretaries

   mesixfuture replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   I love both of our unit secretaries, even though one of them has more conspiracy theories than J. Edgar Hoover. Poor old gal always thinks everybodys out to screw her over. But I digress..due to the fact I'm in an RN program and EXTREMELY POOR, I wor...

8. Witnessed an RN stealing medication

   mesixfuture replied to OzBound's topic in General Nursing

   Uh, yeah. If that crap is really happening, and you know it and don't say anything, then it's your fault too. Report it.

9. Nursing diagnosis please

   mesixfuture posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm a peds and ob nurse, so I don't have a lot of cardiac experience, and when it's happening to you personally...well all kinds of stuff runs thru your head. I've always been a little tachycardic (108 resting), but lately I've been passing out for n...

10. Is anyone else terrified of needles??

    mesixfuture replied to amber84's topic in General Nursing

    I had an accidental stick in nursing school once. We were practicing on oranges, my syringe and my hands were sticky, so my hand slipped and all 1 and 1/2 inches of the needle slid down the side of my pinky. So I was scared of needles for about a mon...

11. Growing Thick Skin.

    mesixfuture replied to Dempather's topic in Emergency

    I don't think working in the ER has anything to do with growing a thick skin. I work on a WIC floor and we have some of the thickest skinned nurses you'll ever see. But then again we code babies, kids, deal with fetal demises....traumas aren'ts the o...

12. Patient reactions to L&D nurses who have never had children

    mesixfuture replied to BarkowRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I feel your pain, Girl. I've been a nurse for two years this June and I've always worked in women's and children's services and I have no kids. It comes up often, usually beginning as a compliment..."you must be so calm when your kids are sick," or "...

13. My unit is going down the tubes...

    mesixfuture replied to whipping girl in 07's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't get out soon, there will be no cover your a$$ measures because you won't have an a$$ left to cover.

14. Med/Surg to L&D?

    mesixfuture replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When hiring for L&D, no experience is of any help to your resume except L&D experience, and maybe a little postpartum or some nursery. You are just as likely to get hired after nine months of med-surge as somebody is after nine months of dial...

15. more than nursing professionals wearing scrubs

    mesixfuture replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with color coding scrubs just because I went to a private school for thirteen years and I enjoy not having to wear the same thing every day. However, I do agree that nursing should wear scrubs and other departments should wear something di...
