1. Professional in scrubs?

   greeneggsnham replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

   A few days ago, we had a motivational speaker come in to speak to us. Before his presentation and as I was sitting down, he made a comment about my SpongeBob scrubs (spongebob top and khaki pants) and how the outfit looked like pajamas. This was co...

2. GETTING WRITTEN UP: What is the most ridiculous thing you have been written up for?

   greeneggsnham posted a topic in General Nursing

   One night the Don of the LTC place where I worked handed over last month's MAR's and TX sheets and asked me to go through and find the "holes'' and fill them in. I filled out missing blood pressures, weights and accu-checks that I searched through N...

3. welcome to the hilton...please dont forget to tip your waitress

   greeneggsnham replied to thisnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Picture the scene: A full code going on and the daughter of a patient at the door yelling, "My Mother has to go to the BR, how do we get some service here?!" When I did home health, somehow people were always telling me what my job was, yet they wa...

4. Patients We Love to Hate

   greeneggsnham replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds to me like this patient is not a patient in a hospital working with the staff to get better, but a spoiled diva (with a doting enourage) thinking that she is in a suite at the Ritz.

   I was helping out a co-worker who had gotten far behind one night. She told me to go down and get this patient's temp. This lady was combative and had dementia, so I attempted to do a rectal. THERE WAS NO HOLE!. Turns out when she had her colo...

6. Ghostly experiences??

   greeneggsnham replied to Erin RN's topic in General Nursing

   One night in the med room of the LTC facility where I used to work, I felt a cool draft and felt a presence behind me and as goosed in the rear end. No one else was in the room with me. A resident had recently died and had a habit of goosing the re...

7. Lunch breaks

   greeneggsnham replied to moonshadeau's topic in Safety

   lets see, lunch break? Oh yeah, thats when the pharmacy delivers medications, when Dr's offices call with orders, and when the Education department chooses to give us our inservices (and no, we do not get paid lunches)!

8. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

   greeneggsnham replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

   Definitely OR. Standing in one place too long. The blood and guts didn't bother me, but rather the arrogance from the surgeons and the way some staff members treated one another. I loved being in on cases, viewing the human body literally, but OR ...

9. I Don't Think So!

   greeneggsnham replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

   This is a situation that I found myself in before when I worked at a nursing home. I ended up calling the nursing home hotline on the facility where I worked. Then, I quit before they could fire me! The situation that you are describing sounds dang...
