1. Are hair accessories unprofessional?

   sophie_bob_kids replied to silhouettedreams's topic in Professionalism

   I do the same thing. Sometimes I'll wear flowers, and sometimes I'll even wear pig tails. My patients love that I'm fun and bubbly! My point is, I don't care what crotchety people think. They're just jealous because they can't pull it off! Be you, an...

2. Are sign-on bonuses a thing of the past?

   sophie_bob_kids replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

   I work at Kaiser Permanente in Southern California. We're lucky to get a job, let alone a sign on bonus! Our bonus is our weather. It's 77 degrees outside right now!! :)

3. Facebook notification

   sophie_bob_kids replied to pedspnp's topic in NP

   If it bothers you that much, delete your FB. It doesn't bother me when patients come up to me in the store, movie theater, wherever. But then again, I got into this profession because I truly enjoy helping people. That's just me. I wouldn't make such...

4. How sad is the NICU? Is there a personality type best suited to it?

   sophie_bob_kids replied to chunkiesundae's topic in NICU

   Working in the NICU is very rewarding, but can also be very difficult at times. It's hard to see a baby struggle and suffer, but when they recover and come back to visit you, it's the best thing on earth!! You do get attached to them, it's hard not t...

5. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

   sophie_bob_kids replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

   According to our hospice nurse, it happens a lot! My dad had been on hospice for about 4 days and he would raise his arm to his head, and then back down to his side again. He did this constantly. When all our family came over to say their final goodb...

6. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

   sophie_bob_kids replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

   Before my dad came home on hospice, actually this was before I knew he wasn't going to recover from another CVA, he was on a Med/Surg until. When I went to visit him the day before he was fine and completely lucid, but this night he was acting really...

   sophie_bob_kids replied to danegerous's topic in General Nursing

   Oh I love these kinds of stories!! Always fun to read! On a personal note, I think my dad guards and protects us and our house. He passed away at home while on hospice, and every now and then I swear I can feel him there with me... It's the best feel...

    sophie_bob_kids replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I'm going to go home and hug my mom tight. This blog made me tear up. How awful the things some of you have experienced. Ruby and Crazier than you, you are truly courageous people. My heart goes out to you.

13. So do you actually take your breaks?

    sophie_bob_kids replied to purse's topic in General Nursing

    We get in trouble if we don't clock for lunch, so you better believe we're in that breakroom for 30min every day! They don't provide us with a relief, so the other nurses on our floor absorb your patients.

14. I hate what's happening to nursing...

    sophie_bob_kids replied to nyteshade's topic in Relations

    Remember the good ol' days when nurses were respected, and in some cases even feared if you didn't follow instructions?!? It's laughable now. Now you have to quietly remain calm while your patient (and their family members) berate you. All managment ...
