    Lost A Great RN This Week

    There seem to be a lot of house (and other structure) fires in this area (central NY) lately... not sure why, as there have been recent years in which the number of such fires had diminished markedly.

    Lost A Great RN This Week

    RN Died in House Fire Sondra had been a RN since long before I met her. She worked the ER for most of her career and then Radiology, as well as per diem at a local internal medicine practice. Working well into her 70's, she could run rings around man...

    Is this hurting my resume?

    House Supervisor Test Question

    Two questions immediately come to mind: 1.) Who writes these "tests"? 2.) Who pays money to the person who writes these tests?

    'My Patient died' Facebook post

    Exactly. There is a lot ("alot", for those in Rio Linda) of stuff that folks post on social media that really need not be posted. During the limited time I spend on Faecesbook, I often see stuff about deaths of the poster's family members... if G-d f...

    Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    They usually come in by ambulance for two reasons: 1.) It's "free" 2.) So (they) "get seen quicker" One of the funnier episodes I recall from my ER shifts was the young couple who came in; the female c/o belly pain (she added "and Tynol doesn't help"...

    Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    I still recall a patient who frequently was in my ER many years ago; she complained of various things and "knew the lyrics" because she had been a Paramedic in another city several years before. One night, she came in by ambulance (with her doting hu...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    "Jon" may well have been yanking your and others' chain (so to speak)... for what reason he would do so is anybody's guess and is likely immaterial. But the "hospital gossip" (what... there's gossip in hospitals??? Say it isn't so!) thing apparently ...

    Allnurses needs nurses

    Like many forums on the Intertoobz, there will always be the "noobs" and "pre-noobs" (aka, just looking into it) who will register, log in, and ask a lot of questions. What they see on the forums will usually influence how much farther they go and, m...
  10. What the heck... I'll jump in here...Faux Noise. :)
  11. But that's OK because it is only fashionable to criticize Fox News. How about coming to grips with why much of the media follows that line and (generally) looks upon nurses as being beneath physicians? That would make a whole new thread (or several)...

    One thing i dont understand(at the nurses' station)

    Like that which is displayed in the "Terms of Service" here about posting in English. :) The problem with common courtesy (much like common sense) is that is it is not common anymore. I have come to believe that the basic tenets of courtesy that m...

    Obese Nurses

    Eating bacon is an even better hobby. :) Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk

    This is not why I became a nurse

    Being a "zipper flipper" is probably better than being a "stretcher fetcher". Seriously, sometimes we need a break from the routine, and what you did was probably more appreciated by the "patient".

    Too Old to Enter Critical Care Nursing?

    Good for you and her... age is just a number, but I plan to retire at 64 or 65, so the MS degree is not in my plans. I work with a woman in her 50's and is a NP, now working on her PhD... I guess she will be called "Dr. Nurse _______".
