1. Leaving Bedside Nursing

   taigarn0825 replied to Deebuzz's topic in Career Support

   I've read many of the comments on this post. I can't believe how many nurses would bash a colleague. I can understand how she feels. I love bedside nursing, but it doesn't love me. My reasons for no longer being a bedside nurse are different. I ...

2. Nurses smoking weed?

   taigarn0825 replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

   I lived in a state where it is legal for 20 years. Many, many years ago, I did occasionally smoke weed. I also went to nursing school in that state. (It is not legal in the state where I now live.) That having been said, I did not even consider s...

3. What do you do when Work calls on your day off?

   taigarn0825 replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

   When I was working nights, I would go home and go to bed between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm. It only takes me 15 minutes to fall asleep. I sleep really hard, even with my phone beside the bed. Unless the house is burning down, nothing wakes me except m...

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

   taigarn0825 replied to nirvana1's topic in Humor

   About 20 years ago, I met my babysitter's friend, "Moonyen" (pronounced like "moon-yen"). Yes, her parents were hippies. The amazing thing to me is that she kept it as an adult. She wanted to be original. No fear there! I think her parents took ...

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

   taigarn0825 replied to nirvana1's topic in Humor

   One of my great-uncles was named R. V. ____. That's it. The "initials" don't represent anything. His son is Rve (no middle name) ____. Both names are pronounced the same way, "R. V.," but the son is not a junior. All of R. V.'s siblings have "re...
