   maybe1day replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

   How incredible! I have often wondered how I would react to an emergency situation outside of the hospital. I can only hope that I could perform like you did! Thank God you were there and had the knowledge, training and instinct to do what you did....

4. A name for Computer on Wheels

   maybe1day replied to butterfly9's topic in General Nursing

   Funny. Where I was doing my clinicals, they call them COWs technically, but the nurses have nicknamed them. They call them Bessie, Clarabelle, Daisy and Elsie. They have even made up lttle laminated signs and attached to each cart. I thought it w...

   maybe1day replied to RN ColbyJack's topic in General Nursing

   Peanut Butter! I have found that a peanut butter sandwich (with or without jelly) on whole wheat bread is very satisfying and keeps the hunger at bay for several hours. I can't eat anything sweet (no jelly for my sandwich) in the mornings, or I win...

9. Is this possible (need an experienced nurse's opinion-- warning a little long)

   maybe1day replied to WestWingFan's topic in General Nursing

   Well, why don't you look into being a nursing instructor? I also love teaching, but wanted the flexibility of nursing. I hope to complete my studies, work as an RN for a while and then look in becoming a nursing instructor. I think you might co...

10. What would you do to get ahead in the Line at the ER?

    maybe1day replied to maybe1day's topic in Emergency

    MLOS, Sorry you were offended! I agree with you wholeheartedly! ER is for Heart Attacks and Car Accidents as far as I am concerned. It is the people who abuse the system that make a game of the situation.

    Hopefull, You are my hero. If there is a better way to handle this, I don't know what it is. You were calm, cool, collected in a crisis - EVERYTHING a nurse should be. Good Luck to you and your family - whatever the outcome may be. Continue to h...
