Sorry, no info about lozenges or patches. But I do have a few things to say... First off, congrats on being brave enough to post this thread. I know a lot of smokers who choose to be closet...

Ditto to Pams post. Except our nurse to pt ratio is usually about 6 or 7:1. In the field we have standing orders, so its just memorize, memorize, memorize. I think it is good for me to pull...

Never. Completely out of their scope of practice.

Well, I do both. I work full time in the ER as an RN although I have kept my MICT current. I do occasionally pull shifts in the field. Once in a blue moon I work in the air. Not often though. ...

People are such freaks. Sometimes I think of switching over and taking care of animals instead. But then we wouldn't have all of these hideous stories to laugh and gag at.:) Please say it...

travel nursing. To go where ever I like whenever I like would be fabulous!

What part of the country are you looking for? I had a great INS co while in denver. Here, it is another story. I dislocated my knee 1 yr ago and had to go to the OR for open reduction. I had...

exactly tee it up tom!

Ok, so this one is not about a fb, but close enough. Very, very dirty lol came in by ems, escorted by hus, for "just not right". It was very obvious by both appearance and aroma that neither...

We use O2 for "cluster headaches". Works wonders.

Always two sides to a story. And all of us know that to the er pts 20 minutes seems like 2 hrs. About the asthma...if the episode was so "severe" she wouldn't have lasted 2 hrs.

I have seen many fb's in many places, but the one that got to me the most was the roach in a guy's ear. I don't know why it bothered my so much. Wasn't my ear. But just the thought of it wiggling...

We had a ff that came in at the age of 24 for pain meds for "knee pain" . MS was the ONLY thing that worked of course. No limp, normal gait, dnv's intact, no crepitus, nada. One of our ER docs got...

We had another guy who came in with a glass coke bottle (open) stuck in his bum with the open end up. We all placed bets on how they were gonna get it out because of the vacuum it had created. When...

There was so much swelling there that they actually had to use lidocaine and make a small incision on the dog to get the blood to drain. Is there anyone in this world who could have done that with a...

The ones that really drive me nuts are the ones that come in with Burger King in hand and 5 people in tow, laughing joking all out having a great time and tell me they have a migraine that is so...

You get your volunteers to run to the lab? I am so jealous! I can't get our volunteer out of her chair. She sits there on the phone, occasionally answering questions for guests and that about sums...

OK, first, I am not a pervert.:chuckle I lived next to a dog breeder for a while. Dogs have a part of their "member" that swells like a bulb. I'm not sure what it is called ball? Anyhow, this...

I have had a couple that nothing short of barfing and Kevorkian? would make me feel better. It hurts just to take a deep breath. So I know what you mean. I worked with a ER doc once that believed...

NICE! There's a winner for you. :)

SLOW DOWN! No one was trying to offend you here. I am perfectly aware that there are pts with little to no relief for what ails them. I wasn't pointing fingers at you or anyone else. If you will...

Welcome aboard, Jan. Enjoy!!!:)

You might try looking under the gen nursing discussion on this board. I think there is a thread about it in there.

I have no idea what she was planning.The only thing close to her was a bottle of lotion. I told her the Vicodin would stop her up and that we have remedies for that. Actually, now that I think...

Oh and also, our staff are divided by scrub colors defined to each area. ER is royal blue, OR purple and pale blue, NICU pink, respiratory maroon etc, etc
