I have been an RN for almost 4 years now, this is my second career now.
26 years and a lot of memories. I remember:
Glass suction bottles
Urine glucose testing tablets in test tubes (plop plop fizz fizz...)
Not wearing gloves...for ANYTHING!
"finger cots"
Visitor Passes
Hand typed registration...on a typewriter with a ribbon!
Life before ICD-9 codes
Wearing my nursing hat and pin
Anyone have more?
