1. Circumcision Debate

   bossynurse replied to steve brock's topic in General Nursing

   I totally think circumcision is the way to go. I had my son done. I personally think that it makes a prettier "package" no pun intended. Not that the penis is an attractive thing. I have seen no infections with pt that have been circumcized yet I...

2. The annoyance of having to carry a wireless while on duty

   bossynurse replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

   I like having the phone. If I have to call a doc with lab results, I can page him and go about my business until he/she calls me back. There are times however that I swear that I am going to throw it away. But for the most part, I like not having...

3. Shoes

   bossynurse replied to AmyLiz's topic in General Nursing

   I used to switch day to day like that but now that I've gone Birkenstock, I'll never go back. I never have leg and foot pain anymore. For some strange reason, tennies tend to make my feet go numb.

4. Help!! Visitor Problems!!

   bossynurse replied to welnet66's topic in General Nursing

   Our visiting hours are over at 8pm. If the pt is in a private room, we really don't enforce the rule. However I do enforce it if the pt is in a semi-private. I can't believe that family members actually think that they can stay overnight in a room...

6. uniforms are killing us

   bossynurse replied to parklandtrauma's topic in General Nursing

   I donnot think that the public views us as unprofessional because we choose to wear scrubs with prints. Not one patient has negatively commented on it. We send out pt surveys to all discharged patients. They complain about some pretty lame things ...

   bossynurse replied to parklandtrauma's topic in General Nursing

   I wear prints on my adult surgical unit. I get lots of complements on my Hello Kitty scrubs. Kids aren't the only ones who freak at the sight of a nurse in all white. I usually wear white pants so that all of my tops match. I don't think I look u...

8. Pneumatic tube systems....

   bossynurse replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

   can't operate a hospital of our size without a tube system. I guess if they want to pay someone to transport meds and labs all over the hospital 24 hours a day. Ours rarely goes down unless some d/a send a urine specimin without double bagging.

   bossynurse replied to sunnygirl272's topic in Gastroenterology

   I have been getting oral ulcers for 14 years ( I blame my son he is 14 and all of the sudden after he was born I started getting all of these allergies and ulcers). These are NOT canker sores. I have been to 2 ENTs, my ob-gyn cultered them once (ne...
