   L3Janit0r37 replied to escherner's topic in CNA/MA

   We use hampers with signs saying "soiled linen" here that you can roll around. The hamper is usually in the hall between two rooms, or in the dirty core. What i see nurses, cnas and techs do is just strip the bed and go slam dunk it into one of these...

5. Alternative to spanking

   L3Janit0r37 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

   I'd rather take a spanking any day. About what 4 minutes of pain then back to play. Compared to a week of grounding. Plus you know the louder you scream the softer they hit ya... Avid recipient of the belt. But there was no spanking I did not deserv...

12. Do You Wear a Lab coat?

    L3Janit0r37 posted a topic in Relations

    I'm not a nurse, yet. I do work at a hospital as my name implies as a janitor (housekeeper, environmental services). I was wondering if any of you nurses wear a "lab coat," (that look like doctors or close) and if your a nursing student do you plan o...
