  1. Maybe its just the floor but...

    Good for you!
  2. Creative pursuits-Writing, blogging or fishing?

    Honestly the only blogs I ever read are those of friends, when they send a link to me directly. I use my down time w family, reading EBP and research, or playing mindnumbing repetative computer games. :-)
  3. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    Oh, my. LMBO!!! I can just hear the comments at the nurses' station!
  4. Challenges you face as a guy, working as a L&D nurse?

    Best wishes to ya! Collegues in Nsg school had problem's w/ pts not wanting a male nurse, or sn... I can sympathize in not wanting another guy looking at my hoo hoo while I labor... but hey, best Luck!!! :-)
  5. how much orientation did you receive as a new grad?

    Never worked at either, but having been a pt at one, and having friends working at both, St Joe's is more respected... St Mary's is in a much rougher part of town, and is STRAPPED. St Joe's has a better rep, and some great resources, esp if you have ...

    BAHAHAHA... I am partially in Community Health, and that is what we do... ;-)
  11. Question RE posts by student nurses

    I'm thinking this is the most spot on comment in the entire thread. "I've also found that without the knowledge of veterans, GNs are lost... and I've learned with the knowledge of GN's, a lot of veterans don't keep up with the new way of doing thing...
  12. Explaining post op pain to patients

    "I hate to be blunt but are you or your anesthesiologists letting your patients pain get ahead of them?" Anticipate that there will be pain! Pain meds shouldn't be relient on a pt telling you they're hurting. You know they will be, so load em up! It'...

    Chain of command, hon. DOCUMENT issues. Be specific, be non-judgmental. Just the facts. It's not about how this is making you feel, it's about the safety of the patients. Then talk to your manager again. Then talk to your supervisor. "We'll see" is ...
  14. Wsu nursing interview

    Congrats on the interview!!!! Expect things like, "What made you want to go into nursing" Tell me about something that happened in your life that you wish you had gone better, and why. Tell me about a mistake you made in your life, and what you did ...
