  1. Yeah, the Canadian government has even issued a travel advisory, especially non-essential travel b/t the Mexican and US borders. No way, Jose! The Canadian guy killed there a few weeks ago was a local businessman. You couldn't pay me enough to go dow...
  2. How do you deal with a doctor who sweared on you over the phone?

    Ha! This part cracked me up. In my career being bilingual (English/French) is part of the job description. I'm often called in by other nurses who are supposed to be able to speak french but don't, to translate one thing or another. More often tha...
  3. What would you do?

    Wow, just goes to show the international differences. Our BCLS teaches the following: You only interfere if the person is severely choking. How do you know? Ask them, "are you choking?" and if they can speak, cough or breathe, watch and wait. If...
  4. Private Nurses for Patient At Night

    My NM would okay a sitter if required but not for an elderly lady who's biggest crime is ringing the bell. You should look into getting a prn sedation order for her, if all her needs are met, but she keeps ringing d/t confusion. When all else fails, ...
  5. I'm exhausted...it's ridiculous (and unsafe)

    Y'all have me confused. Isn't a chemstick the urine dip test for glucose? As opposed to finger stick? I've never heard a glucometer called a chemstick either.
  6. Report giving dread.

    Remember that by giving report, you're doing the oncoming nurse a favour by directing his/her attention to the more important details from your shift, so you're helping THEM out. If someone is giving you attitude, just quickly muddle through the crit...
  7. Soon to be RN from Canada, looking at the US

    If that's the case then be sure to tell your fellow Americans to "stay in your own country" as well.
  8. Those poppy seed bagels must be providing quite the hallucination.... Keep dreamin'... if you think this excuse will pass with the authorities.
  9. High contact sports and nursing?

    Why Scott... I had no idea you were so buff.... are you the one on top or bottom?
  10. Switching majors after first semester BSN

    Looked for any possible way to pass you? Are you for real? Obviously you weren't a straight A student if you were failing your labs/clinicals. Maybe you're book smart but that's only half the job of nursing - you've got the science but you're miss...
  11. Over worked Nurses

    Always and forever. It's the nature of the beast.
  12. High contact sports and nursing?

    I don't understand the problem. What does being involved in sports have to do with your career as a nurse? Who is is you think is going to allow, or disallow, your choice of extracurricular activities? Confused.
  13. Soon to be RN from Canada, looking at the US

    Job fairs, as already mentioned, can get your hired on the spot. Also check out: americanmobile.com nursezone.com nursesrx.com There's some red tape, but it's doable.
  14. Visiting hours and quality of care: an unscientific study

    I would NEVER allow 20 at once; that is insane. They can come in 2 or 3 at a time during visiting hours only. I've seen virtually entire families camped out outside the rooms, obstructing the hallway and impeding the work of the staff. They are im...
  15. High divorce rate among nurses? Why?

    :yeah: And that's why we women may not be the stronger sex, but we definitely are the smarter sex!
