1. You know you've been a nurse for too long when..........

   MegEDRN replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in General Nursing

   Signed the closing on our house, "MegEDRN, RN." Dated it, "mm/dd/yy 0930."

2. The "one thing"

   MegEDRN replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

   It's all about exposure. I signed up for a GI surgery clinical. After my first day, my vomit/diarrhea phobia was cured. It literally only took one day. The anticipation is worse than the reality. Just get your (gloved) hands in there and do it.

3. Stupid things that nurses say

   MegEDRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Humor

   OMG I say that all the time and never thought of it THAT way! That's a day ruiner. haha

4. Vent: Why I won't accompany my mother to the ER anymore

   MegEDRN replied to BelgianRN's topic in Emergency

   OP, at least it wasn't you announcing your occupation to the world. No one likes those people... or the ones who remind everyone that they work in a hospital, when what they really mean is they work in the cafeteria of a hospital.

7. The Mockery of Nursing

   MegEDRN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Relations

   Just for the record: I'm a very young new-grad working in an ED with a BSN from a fairly prestigious university who passed the computerized NCLEX in 75 questions and then used the Pearson trick, and sometimes I ask really dumb questions. You guys are...

8. The Mockery of Nursing

   MegEDRN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Relations

   Preceptor: What is your problem with doing assessments? Classmate: I don't like touching the human body. I want to work in the OR. Preceptor: You should probably re-think this career choice. Classmate: Why? Uhh... ? Because.

9. Thank You for Nothing

   MegEDRN replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

   No worries, VivaLasViejas. Someone who is unable to open their eyes, ears, or heart and learn something will soon find that this profession is not for them.

10. Visitor Etiquette

    MegEDRN replied to MegEDRN's topic in Relations

    Thanks, guys! I was worried I'd committed a professional super-foul.

11. Patient asking for something at the wrong time...

    MegEDRN replied to Joe V's topic in Rock

    kimberlyabonita, Ha! I'm a new nurse and I get fooled by that voice. Sometimes, I just can't tell if my coworkers mean what they say or if I, too, have become a victim of the overly-polite-super-obnoxious-sugar-sweet nursey voice sprinkled with a tw...

    MegEDRN posted a topic in Relations
