  1. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    I know a girl who named her son Tason... Pronounced like Jason but with a T. Also, I dated a guy who swore up and down that his first born son would be named Garth brooks. I said "with the S on the end?" And he said yes! And, I know a Tequila. She's...
  2. Speaking of snorting anything. I watched a guy crush and snort a breath mint back in high school because someone "dared him to!" edit: and I made this face the whole time I watched
  3. Shocked by facial piercings at work

    At the school where I am a lab assistant for a class, we have a male student who has full sleeves. He is not required to cover them up. I have tattoos and piercing but I keep myself respectable. I wouldn't say he has to cover them up because that is ...
  4. Your take on actors playing "nurse"...

    Ah yes, that would be Chaz! Forgot about him. Dr. Pratt's death was so tragic! Gah the memories! But yeah, you do pick up on errors. But after all, they are actors and directors and writers, not doctors, nurses and surgeons! Besides, its TV. But, how...
  5. Practice on each other! That is what they do at the school where I work. They practice their blood draws on each other (and anyone they can sucker into it!) I always volunteer because I figure it is just a simple stick, usually butterfly, which they ...
  6. Fantastic to see a precarious situation turn into a learning experience for EVERYONE. I am glad it lead to changes to further protect the patients from mistakes and the staff from making them! Sorry it happened but great to hear the positive changes ...
  7. Even those who are not nurses or in the medical profession can at least be advocates to their own healthcare. At the very very least, check the prescriptions you receive from the pharmacy against the description that comes with the information packet...
  8. Most shocking thing you've seen a physician do?

    These are like reading a good novel! Sad that they are over! So suspenseful!
  9. Your take on actors playing "nurse"...

    I think perhaps the most believable nurse that I have seen on television was Haleh from ER. She was the most "nurse like" in my opinion. And to note: my favorite medical show is ER and then House. House however really doesn't show the nursing side of...
  10. Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    WHOA! That is crazy! And they wonder why some people are scared to seek medical attention!
  11. Enucleation. Ever have a patient pull an eye out?

    Ha! So did I! I think it was more the visual than anything!
  12. Enucleation. Ever have a patient pull an eye out?

    OMG! That is perhaps the most horrifying but comical thing ever!
  13. Is a medical coding certification useful for an RN

    I know this is an old topic but I thought I would drop my two cents on the subject. I am a Certified Professional Coder. I just got my certification last fall and have not found work exactly in the field yet. I am working for the school I attended th...
  14. The most gruesome situation you've encountered?

    I have witnessed one gruesome thing in life. Pyoderma Gangrenosum. My grandmother had it on the back of her calf. It was terrible and getting the correct diagnosis was half the battle. The area affected was approximately 2 inches by 4 inches. Also, w...
