   Little Flower posted a topic in General Nursing

   Please enlighten me. I have seen references to Nurse Rachett as being some kind of evil torturer. Sorry I am so late to make this discovery so please be patient with me. Thanks.

3. I failed the interview personality test/survey!

   Little Flower replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

   It used to be about your qualifications but now it is foremost how you fit their team. Each personality test is geared to produce the results of the type of team player they are looking for. You have to pass the personality test before anything else....

   Little Flower replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

   These funky little tests are also used as "deal breakers" when the HR person can't decide which person to give the wonderful employment deal to. Say 2 people come with exact qualifications and everything else is the same, i.e., age, height, weight, ...

5. Are you afraid to go to the ER?

   Little Flower replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

   Unfortunately a lot of PCP's are getting out of their practice incrimentally. They see patients in their office but "farm-out" or job-shop aspects of their practice to other institutions...the ER's being one such part. Instead of closing their prac...

   Little Flower replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

   In all fairness to truth and to answer your question... I agree with you on this statement. I thought it extremely odd that this wasn't done. Sometimes I just wonder in awe at the whole thing....especially after the next morning when her doc called...

   Little Flower replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

   The last time I was in the ER was also a nightmare of major proportions. I wish to g-d I had not gone to that hospital. ER's are contract services operating under different rules. If they screw up they become invisible and that is all I am going t...

   Little Flower replied to mom23RN's topic in Emergency

   All the posters here have for the most part gotten what they asked for from the ER docs and primaries. However, I know of a person who tried this with his primary and received a certified letter in the mail telling him that his doc would no longer a...

9. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

   Little Flower replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   There is nothing new under the sun.... This is the way the old timers used to do it. My mom used to do this all the time when I was a little and we were out shopping. The public toilets didn't have seat liners back then and my mom was very particu...

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Isn't that the truth!!! It is a male thing!!! I too had a lumpectomy on the left breast but not the right one. I have a LOT of scar tissue. When I have to get my breast squashed in a mammo machine ...the right one hurts but I want to ...

    BTW.....I forgot to mention you will also have to buy a new pair of boxing gloves cause there will be a lot of infighting between the nurses for the use of this little goody. :)

    Here is some good news I thought I would share with you all. I found it Local6.com Orlando Florida. NASA has a healing light that can be used for pain or wounds. The device is FDA approved. Please check out the following link. It sells for about ...

    Little Flower replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    nerdse Yelling at someone like many doctors do both to their patients and their nurses is as good a remedy for pain as any, didn't ya know? Yelling makes the pain go away but it will also give a nurse a bad back. All those courses of "it's your f...

    Little Flower replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    As it relates to pain and huge pills and meds that make you vomit, etc....some of what I say you won't like because some of you have only the knowledge of your nurses training and nothing beyond while some of you have the knowledge of the ages and ot...
