  1. Two-minus-one pregnancy

    sigh, agreed...but. This seems incredibly selfish. I kind of want to smack Jenny upside the head. a lot.
  2. St John's Regional Medical Center Joplin Missouri

  3. Verbal assault by a pt.

    wow, i think you really hit it on the head with that statement. i would never, not for one second, but up with such abuse on the street or in my personal life. at work we are expected to take it, and it really hurts.
  4. as other posters have said, your grammar seems fine. I am continually surprised (in a bad way) by the poor grammar of native English speaking doctors and nurses. I can't imagine anyone but the biggest jerk in the world giving you a problem with a f...
  5. Yep, our ICU visiting room is just a breeding ground of bad feelings. I would feel sorry for anyone who has to sit out there with those people, and for FREE? no freaking way!
  6. sigh. I hear it all the time, if not from patients then from their families. I am good at playing dumb and just say "oh, I don't follow politics" or "I don't know that they need to do, but the healthcare system sure is messed up and needs to be fi...
  7. Angry mom made me cry last week

    I had 2 babies in the NICU (not twins, 4 years apart) before I ever went to nursing school or had any idea of what was going on. Yes, I was scared to death for my babies. But I never, not once, thought the nurse was my enemy or treat him/her like a...
  8. 100 year old stroke patient

    When I'm at work, I'm all about love, support, and compassion. I mean, I don't say "you do realize that WHEN grandma's heart stops and we begin chest compressions I am going to break EVERY SINGLE one of her ribs?!" I think that's pretty darn compas...
  9. 100 year old stroke patient

    unfortunately, I see it all the time. It makes me sick. nothing says "I love you mom" like filling her full of tubes, sticking her in a nursing home and letting her die of infected bed sores.
  10. People in healthcare should speak Spanish, she said

    I'm sure it is scary to be in a hospital where no one speaks your language. I'm sorry for that. I don't care one bit what language you speak at home or in your community. I don't even get bent out of shape when people speak a non-English language ...
  11. need some encouragement

    This. Exactly this.
  12. Plz read!!! Nurse using drugs what should i do???

    professionally: she needs to be reported. her management or BON. She's an impaired nurse. personally: yeah, she sounds like a crappy mom and kind of a loser, but I don't know if any of those things are considered neglect. If I were you, I would...
  13. is nursing supposed to be sad?

    oh, I missed that she is just in nursing school. Good grief, YES it is common to be depressed in nursing school! lol! those were the worst/hardest years of my life! Good luck to her, you are a good friend for being so concerned. Now, just don't be ...
  14. is nursing supposed to be sad?

    I don't want to start another age war, but I honestly think this may have a lot to do with her depression. At 21 I did not have the life experience to deal with many of the sad things I have seen in nursing. With age comes experience, and you are ...
  15. "if you wern't so obese you wouldn't have 1/2 the illnesses you do" and my back wouldn't hurt so bad....
