1. Best travel companies

   TennNurse replied to Smalltowngirl's topic in Travel

   I have been with Liquid Agents only for a couple of months. I moved there after trying out a couple of different ones, and I have found Neal to be the most professional, go-the-extra-mile recruiter I have ever come in contact with. His agency was a...

2. Best travel companies

   TennNurse replied to Smalltowngirl's topic in Travel

   Neal Roberts at Liquid Agents is just the most amazing recruiter in this universe. You know the 15+page application most agencies want you till fill out online? Every job, immunization, supervisor that you have had since you were 12? Neal does all...

3. Ah, the things we say when we're tired

   TennNurse replied to ProBeeRN's topic in General Nursing

   Late one night I asked my new patient, who presented with sob and hx chf, to please slip off her shoes so that I could check her pupils. While giving report I told the oncoming nurse that Bed 3's abdominal pain got better after I gave her vicious lid...

4. A sign of the times

   TennNurse replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

   It means "Do Not Return".

5. Nobody Likes A Tattle Tail

   TennNurse replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

   THANK YOU!!! This is the one thing I can never figure out. HOW do some people have so much time on their hands that they can observe every nuance of another employee's behavior? WHY do managers not ask that question when the tattler first approache...

7. Need some good summer reads!

   TennNurse replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

   I'm with DeepFried on the Outlander series. The heroine is a smarta$$ WW2 nurse who later goes to medical school, so in addition to the historical drama and the very fine Scotsman Jamie, there is plenty of truly addicting entertainment here. I've r...

8. How can I become SANE?

   TennNurse replied to TennNurse's topic in Forensic

   Penguin and Cardiac, thanks! I will get started looking into these. Turns out Memphis has a really good rape crisis center. Not sure exactly what this says about our fair city.....

9. How can I become SANE?

   TennNurse posted a topic in Forensic

   Hey, y'all, I have been out of the allnurses loop for awhile, actually out of nursing at all for a very brief time, for a fabulous reason- I have the most gorgeous little baby girl! As much as I want to stay home with her forever, at some point I n...

10. How do I get started?

    TennNurse posted a topic in Legal

    Hey, y'all, I am 34 1/2 weeks pregnant and another ER nurse recently mentioned to me the field of consulting. My knowledge of it is scant, but I know I am not looking to get rich off it; I'd also like to keep my foot in the door of the ER. This pre...

11. ER nursing and pregnancy...

    TennNurse replied to ND76's topic in Emergency

    Congrats! I am 31 weeks pregnant today, and in an ER with 50 or so beds as well. Once you get to where you start really showing, you will be pleasantly surprised by how little you are allowed by your co-workers and family to do. My patients have b...

12. Rules for the ER (long)

    TennNurse replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    When you come to the ER, you do not get to handpick the MD who will see you. If you are sick enough to be here, you will not care who makes it go away. If not, then there is a real handy system in place by which you can select a specific doctor, c...

13. Rules for the ER (long)

    TennNurse replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Also, do not ride in the ambulance past 3 other hospitals to come clutter up my night with your diarrhea woes, which started about 6 hours after you took 2 LAXATIVES!!!!!! When your discharge papers arrive, complete with "Discontinue laxatives" wri...

14. add your funny TRIAGE complaints from pts

    TennNurse replied to er nursing's topic in Emergency

    We're getting a lot of Le-a's as well. I am amazed by how upset these moms get when the correct pronunciation of the name does not immediately fly off the tongue. My day began with "Last night I took a bunch of Ex-Lax and gave myself an enema." "So ...

15. "Love notes" reappear in a staff meeting

    TennNurse replied to confused101's topic in General Nursing

    A facility I worked at once actually took the time to dig around for the exact monetary cost of omissions, like if you remembered to chart on paper an IV fluid end time but not on the computer. Then some superhuman flawless-type nine-to-five office-d...
