   You should consider the Indian health service. They will forgive up to 40,000 for 2 years service at high needs areas. I worked in Alaska for 2 years, and had 36,000 in loans forgiven. They also pay any taxes the additional income will produce. ...

   Only push it on vented patients, and then hang drip. Loved the stuff when I worked in ICU, now work in ER and try to get vented patients to ICU before needing any "milk of amnesia"

4. wearing perfume to work

   menolly_33 replied to acaringnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I have lots of allergies and asthma, and it only takes "a spritz" to set me off. I don't say anything if the scent is very subtle, even though it makes my lungs hurt and burn. However, I have become rather vocal about those that insist on bathing i...

   menolly_33 replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

   I can't help but notice that your info states you are in alabama. I grew up in the south, and currently live in the south, and I have noticed that this attitude is more accepted by admin here. And before anyone flames me, I did not say that the doc...

6. working on Christmas?

   menolly_33 replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

   Usually a nurse gets to work one day or the other.....not both. Has your nurse manager explained why you have to work both days? One reason to schedule people to work both days, is so someone is off both days. As someone who lives far away from all...

11. No Relief, Embarrasing Moment

    menolly_33 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you should be embarressed at all. Too bad you didn't just march into her office, in you stained scrubs, sat in her chair, on her couch or whatever you could of hers, and informed her she now owed you a new pair of underware ( why do we...
