  2. What is your weakness?

    And I forgot this one....any wound that has maggots in it. I just hate seeing that! Actually, any time any bugs fall off a pt it is gross.
  3. Theme of the day....

    I also thought my old ED had theme days. We used to hve "Slingblade Day", and we would all talk like Billy Bob Thorton in the movie Slingblade. (ummmm,I reckon I won't kill me nobody today so they won't put me back in the nervous hospital,ummmmm) ...
  4. What is your weakness?

    Vitamins. I just hate the smell of vitamins. There are even some pharmacies I can go into because of that smell. I know it's crazy.....
  5. feel guilty not contributing

    I am with you, bargainhound. I was in a similar situation several years ago. I felt I could not donate without feeling like a total hypocrite. I would give to my place of worship or to a favorite charity,jo272, and try and think positive thoughts ...
  6. Will somebody PLEASE tell these doctors....

    And don't scream and curse at me when I have to call you about your patient on a Sunday morning, and then end the rant with, "And don't call me because I am at church!" It makes me wonder what exactly you are worshipping!
  7. Float pool, ideas on making it better

    I am not in our pool now, but I have been in the past. One of the things our pool does is have "Mother's hours" where nurses work 4-5 hours relieving others for breaks,lunches, etc. They might work,for example,1000 to 1400. They also have a class f...

  10. This happened over 20 years ago, and it still creeps me out.... I was working in an acute neuro unit at the time. I had been off for a few days, and when I got back I had a pt that was new to me, but she was was 3 days post op from a craniotomy for ...
  11. I am a nurse, but I dream of....

    I would also love to open my own LTC facility! It would be perfect, with beautiful gardens, great food, in a home-like setting. And of course, all the staff would be vastly overpaid, and love their job! The residents would be so happy! I also drea...
  12. How Did you survive???????

    I got into a great study group. We would get together before every test, and no one would leave until we all knew the material. I don't know what I would have done without those wonderful people!
  13. Nurse manager email - Opinions?

    I am with you,Amanda! Very well put. Passive -aggressive people are a pain. I have no idea how so many of them in up in management.
  14. Now I've heard it all!!

    OK, I must share this one. The student nurses association at a local college held a "haunted house" for a fund raiser over Halloween weekend. Some of our ED nurses helped them out.(decorating,playing "ghosts",etc.) Two days later, I am at triage. You...
  15. Croc shoes Worth it? Or forget it??

    Love my Crocs! A gift shop near my home was having a sale, $11.00 a pair, so I got 2 pairs. They do seem to run a little big to me.
