   Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened. Any day above ground is a good day.

2. Other Side of Coin---Less than Humble New Grads

   gomernurse replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

   I think most new grads start out with the Crusader Rabbit Syndrome...as did I back in the days when dinosaurs roamed freely. Doesn't take long to understand that book-knowledge is a poor substitute for the real world. They come around.

3. I quit smoking and need advice

   gomernurse replied to Medic2RN's topic in General Nursing

   You might also try "smoking" a cinnamon stick. Yikes! Don't light it! They're about the same size as a cigarette, and you get the psychological satisfaction of hand-to-mouth and inhaling.

   Need some of your expertise. Have a gent with a nephrostomy tube and an ileocystostomy tube. The neph tube I can get a mental picture of, but where, inside his body, is the ileo tube?

7. LTC blood draws

   gomernurse replied to gomernurse's topic in Geriatric

   Thanks to all for your input. Certainly makes sense to ME to have a bit of human instruction instead of a one time video. Guess I'll have to start a little rabble-rousing.

8. LTC blood draws

   gomernurse posted a topic in Geriatric

   The lab our facility contracts with has decided that the nurses will now be doing most of the blood draws. This encompasses both RN's and LPN's. Most of us have been "certified" in venipuncture procedures. We will be learning how to do blood draws...

9. Need ER nurse feedback

   gomernurse replied to gomernurse's topic in Emergency

   Thanks so much for your input. Incidentally, I have room 225 reserved for myself, but I'll be glad to share if you don't snore, burble, gurgle, or talk to people I can't see.

10. Need ER nurse feedback

    gomernurse posted a topic in Emergency

    I am trying to devise a succinct, comprehensive, informative transfer form to replace our current form which no one fills out anyway. When I send you grampy/grammy who is in trouble, I need to know what YOU need to know. Granted, trying to make sen...

11. Smoking

    gomernurse replied to AngieH2's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I took one of PilotJim's perfect pills last night before going to bed. Must have been the wrong strength. Woke up this morning still stupid, still weak-minded, and still smoking. Bummer.

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

    Family member with severe social phobia/depression. No doc, no insurance, unable to work. After much research, Paxil from online Mexico. Literally saved his life.
