1. With apologies to blondes....

   Nurse_Bonita replied to JW-HLC's topic in Humor

   I've heard another version of that and even though I am blonde I find it quite funny myself. How about this one??? Blonde showed up in the ER with a gunshot wound through her hand. The nurse comes in to asses her and asks her what happened. "Well," s...

2. CNA's passing meds

   Nurse_Bonita replied to nurseleigh's topic in General Nursing

   I an a first year ADSN and a Patient Care Tech or CNA whatever. I cannot believe they would be insane enough to let someone with the minimal training that we get pass meds. I have also hear of student RN's who work as CNA being allowed to pass meds. ...

3. What is the freakiest thing you have ever seen at work?????

   Nurse_Bonita replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Had a patient in the nursing home I used to work at with this really nasty, deep decubitus ulcer on her hip. Of course, she looked like a holocaust survivor. Real thin, actually closer to emaciated. Wouldn't eat a darn thing. Only thing keeping her a...

   Nurse_Bonita replied to ceecel.dee's topic in General Nursing

   About two weeks ago we had a guy brought into our ER complaining of a belly ache and flatulance. I don't know who his MD is or what the MD was thinking, but they admitted this guy to CCU. Ok, if I go to ER complaing of a belly ache and flatulance an...

5. Just Go Pee!

   Nurse_Bonita replied to Huganurse's topic in General Nursing

   Hey Huganurse, Love the webpage! It is so true even though I am still a PCT and pre-nursing student. When you gotta run to ER to get patients b/c ER is jam packed and transport is off for the weekend, them potty breaks get few and far between. Oh an...

6. The Walmart Walkin Chicken !!!!!!

   Nurse_Bonita replied to EXOTIC NURSE's topic in Humor

   That is too scary. I have a cool Walmart story. I introduced my best friend to her husband at Walmart 3 years ago. The guy I was dating at the time had a single best friend and so did I. We decided that they should meet. Well, we decided to meet at W...

7. Is getting married in nursing school a bad idea?

   Nurse_Bonita replied to teresab_2000's topic in General Nursing

   Hmmm.... Don't know where I fit in here. My boyfriend graduates from RN school in December and I start RN school in August. He told me that he would help me in any way possible. We've talked about marriage, but I think we will probably wait until I ...

12. Does your hospital have mostly 12 or 8 hour nursing positions???

    Nurse_Bonita replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    I am only a student and I currently work as an aide. One nursing home I worked at tried 12 hour shifts, but half of the aides wouldn't do it. The hall the 8 hour people worked was always short so us 12 hours people would get pulled over there for 8 h...

13. Nursing School

    Nurse_Bonita replied to Nurse_Bonita's topic in General Nursing

    SICU Queen and Ussie, Thanks a lot. What I am most worried about is flaking out in clinicals or something. All the nurses I work with tell me that if you can handle being and aide and getting BM or emasis all over you, then you can handle just about ...

15. Nursing School

    Nurse_Bonita replied to Nurse_Bonita's topic in General Nursing

    Peggy, Renee and Mario, Thank you for your welcome. Also thank you for the comments on titles. It is so weird to be called something else in different places. I think they should call all aides the same thing. Who knows though. I am really nervous ab...
