  1. Nurse's Week Gifts from Employers

    Special meals each day for each shift, t-shirts, bags, personalized thank you card, $$.
  2. This week I discovered the joys of compression socks.
  3. Almost there!

    Congratulations on your accomplishment. Good luck with NCLEX.
  4. Yellow Sashes for Med Passes

    I work in LTC and no thank you to sashes of any kind. IMO, they are ridiculous in any setting.
  5. Are you jealous of other nurses jobs/abilities?

    In a word, no.
  6. ixchel, I am sending quick recovery wishes your way. I learned that a friend gave my name to the DON at the facility where she works and now that DON will not stop sending emails asking me to go and meet with her. It is a great facility, not for prof...
  7. What offends you (nursing related)?

    The "nobody trained me/showed me how to do this or that" excuse to not doing your job especially when you've been working at the facility a year! Being told in report how a resident is so so sick and has been declining since the reporting nurse start...
  8. 04/09 WILTW: Confused LOLs

    I learned that I posted my WILTW post on last week's thread. That's what I get for posting after a sleepless night. I learned that I really do love AN.
  9. What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

    Feet, anything to do with feet. Also respiratory secretions, I am one of the many who hates suctioning. I couldn't even use those bulb syringes to suction the snot out of my babies noses when they had colds without gagging. Blech.
  10. The film: Vaxxed.

    First world problems for sure. I am an immigrant from one such country and I can not fathom choosing to not vaccinate my children. I just can't. It is truly mind boggling.
  11. 4/2 WILTW: Disney Edition

    ixchel, I am sending you good wishes and thoughts and prayers (if that's ok). I am so sorry things are so tough for you right now.
  12. 4/2 WILTW: Disney Edition

    So sorry things have been so tough at work. The reason I stay at the LTC where I work, even though I would earn more at other nearby facilities, is because of my DON/ADON. They are amazing. I have worked for crappy bosses/managers in my non-nursing d...
  13. 4/2 WILTW: Disney Edition

    I learned that I am in awe of the many intelligent and smart posters in that monstrous vaccine thread who are fighting the pseudo science and other nonsense with actual science and a lot of patience. Kudos to all of them, they rock. I learned that I...
  14. LTC is Great

    Thank you so much for this post. Much appreciated by this LTC nurse.
