1. A question for the nursing moms.

   LaurenBoog replied to AngRN6726's topic in General Nursing

   If I had a choice? Absolutely part-time. I just had a little one and I am dreading working full time, even though it's only 3 days a week! You could always work "officially" part time and then pick up...

   Sella turkey-ka sounds like a delicious italian

3. Nope, you're not going to die tonight...... says the hospice nurse

   LaurenBoog replied to Old.Timer's topic in General Nursing

   Of course she wasn't going to die...the hospice nurse closed the window!! Sheesh! That's how I keep all my patients

4. I like being different.

   LaurenBoog replied to ajeanine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I had one of those piercings during my senior year of nursing school/clinicals. I put a clear plastic stud in during clinicals...didn't make it any less obvious in my opinion, but none of the nurses...

5. crap...am I in huge trouble???

   LaurenBoog replied to Rnis's topic in General Nursing

   In orientation, my preceptor was showing me how to hang tube feeding. It was a special kind that she had to request from dietary (wasn't stocked on the floor) and when it finally came up at the end of...

6. The happy policy

   LaurenBoog replied to Tepidorchid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Who is supposed to cover your assignment after you get sent home? Staffing is so tight, I just never see this actually happening. Sounds like a scare

7. My daughter is quitting nursing school!

   LaurenBoog replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

   i wouldn't pay for any more of her schooling. she is an adult...if she wants to jump from career to career, she should do it on her own dime, not mom and

8. Bookish, low common sense... will I fit in?

   LaurenBoog replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Students

   I am just the same way you are! I was considered very smart throughout school, but get me into "real world" situations and I ask so many questions and have to be walked through everything. I have tons...

9. Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

   LaurenBoog replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   His message is very inflammatory and seems aimed at stirring people up. The only nurses who are lobbying to be called doctors are ones who have.....received their doctorate degree. We afford that...

10. Nasty email from CNS

    LaurenBoog replied to Cg-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Like the other posters have said, I would just go along with your CNS and make an action plan for yourself. It is snarky to send that e-mail right after your "disagreement," but you will waste too...

11. doing the possible

    LaurenBoog replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    I have known several people who failed a class or semester (usually due to unforeseen circumstances such as death or illness in family) and later graduated. If nursing is your dream, keep at it, even...

12. Does anyone else feel this way?

    LaurenBoog replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is "crazy" or "scary" that the OP feels this way. What is scary is that some people feel this way, embrace it, never question it, and let it affect their patient care. Kudos to the OP...

13. Does anyone have a GOOD manager

    LaurenBoog replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    My former manager was awesome, I really respect her because she actually was a tech on the floor, then a staff RN, then the nurse manager. You can't ask for more than that! She had done the job, she...

14. Moving Too Slowly in Emergent Situations

    LaurenBoog replied to LaurenBoog's topic in Critical Care

    I completely agree with you about the patient being too unstable for CT. The reason I went was because the surgeons ordered the CT d/t massive abd. distension, and the pt. was doing so poorly...

15. What to do when co-workers can't keep up any more?

    LaurenBoog replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is just an age issue. I actually AM 25, and I can't keep up anymore
