2. Why are ICU nurses so rude?

   frumpter replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Relations

   I tape a tongue depressor to the side of the bed to organize all my 1,234,862 lines on. It looks much more orderly and keeps them from getting all tangled up. Most of the nurses in my ICU do this. As for the rest, there are bad apples in every bun...

5. Thoughts on Christmas scrubs...Yea or no way?

   frumpter replied to GoECU's topic in General Nursing

   I wouldn 't wear them because I don't feel they look very professional. I feel as if they are only appropriate in certain environments and adult acute care isn't one of them.

12. Do you go out on the weekend?

    frumpter replied to bigboy18's topic in General Students

    I usually do not study on the weekends. Our exams are on Fridays, as well as care plans being due on Fridays. That leaves the weekends free to spend with my family. I may read over some material after the kids are in bed, but it isn't much. We al...
