  1. Another Scam!!!

    I feel so gullable:o I couldn't figure why they needed my panties and bra but he assured me it was for research purposes. And darnit, they were my new pair of Victoria Secret. Those water bras aren't cheap:eek:
  2. Thoughts to live by.....

    As useful as a third butt cheek:eek: When I die bury me face down so old so and so can kiss my A#* goodbye...an actual request from a family friend. If you were to line up 9 good men and 1 SOB up against the wall, I'd pick the SOB every time:D from ...
  3. Cruel, or appropriate?

    The other thing that mystifies me is that you are expected to handle a higher pt ratio...this with less(read no) ancillary support. If I had a nickle for every time I had to answer the phone at the med/surg desk when the call was for ER(the phone cal...

  5. Funny things patients say !

    Two recent funnies. I was taking care of a 5 yr old. I work 7p-7a and after I took the midnight vitals he looked up to me and admonished me for being up so late and that I was going to get in trouble if I didn't get to bed soon. No amount of explaini...
  6. Capitol Hill

    Why is the current shortage only a 'maldistribution' of nurses. Enrollment is down for the 6th year in a row and the rate of nurses leaving the field permanently is accelerating. Doesn't sound like maldistribution(there is a good gov. bureaucratese w...
  7. If I was to graduate TODAY I would make $12.25/hr!!!!

    Nursing may be a calling but if wages don't improve in many areas, fewer and fewer will heed the call. Why would one take on mountains of debt to get through school only to take forever to pay off the loans. That just doesn't make good business sense...
  8. Thanks for the hard won words of wisdom. I have always been a bit haphazard in my recordkeeping but Your story reminds me of how important those ceu's are.... :)

  10. RTC

    What, someone gets to take a bathroom break. Is it a new incentive.
  11. ABC World News Tonight

    I fear nurses will never be important until those power/rich/famous are laid up in the hospital,hand on the call light with no one answering. Unless things change radically...this may happen in our lifetime. There may come a point when even power/mon...
  12. ANA discriminates against LPN/LVN

    RN country, you have summed up my thought very eloquently. I looked at the ANA after I graduated with my ADN and did not like the elitist attitude. As with many in upper management, they have underestimated the will of the nurses in the field and are...

  14. Input please

    HotSpam, you are right on. We owe it to those we care for to practice safe nursing. I let those over me know when I am in over my head. If it continues or I am ignored, I walk. It's my RN and I will not let it be taken from me. No one stands up for y...
