    LOL! The "punchline" as you call it, lies in the last chapter. You have to read this journey to understand

  3. Travel Nursing: The good, the bad, and why I probably will never do again-Part 1

    Have Nurse replied to Have Nurse's topic in Travel

    I'm not sure why you interpret it as a "complaint," as it is not. It's only the beginning of a story that had 8 more chapters. If you will note, the first Chapter is Part 1. Thanks for

  10. Hating Nursing Currently

    Have Nurse replied to vanaly's topic in General Nursing

    I can sense that you mean to offer her encouragement here, as we all are, but excuse me. I must take exception to your idea of "you don't learn squat in nursing school." I had exceptional instructors...

  11. Hating Nursing Currently

    Have Nurse replied to vanaly's topic in General Nursing

    Are you working with a Preceptor? If not, request one. A kind and strong Preceptor is like gold! Being organized and prioritizing is something that is necessary, but it will strengthen over time if...

  12. Help! OSHA requirements!

    Have Nurse replied to J-lynn's topic in School

    Yep! Red bags are usually reserved for bloody saturated things, or other body fluids. But if you have a small sharps container, when it gets 2/3 full, tape it closed, and red bag it for contaminated...

  13. INSTANT MOM

    Have Nurse replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    You did just fine. Sometimes circumstances aren't convenient, but as long as you were able to assess her and assist appropriately in the whirlwind, that says something! I'm sure you'll have your...

    Have Nurse replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to share what helped me a lot. A book written by Haylie Pomeroy. She is a certified Nutritionist and Wellness Coach. She explains things with humor and compassion. The Fast Metabolism...

  15. Summer 2018 Plans?

    Have Nurse replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Well, nothing glamorous, I assure you, mostly trying to get my yard in shape. I have a nasty small pine for which I intend to do battle. I just bought the house a year and a half or so ago. What...

  19. Do you trust the organ donation process (after recovery of 'brain dead' boy)?

    Have Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's odd that this came up. Today while on my way to work, I listened to a physician on the radio, (guest speaker), who is also concerned that organs are being harvested "too soon." He himself is an...

  20. Lawsuit.. Discovery phase.

    Have Nurse replied to Yoga nurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's a personal choice. As I said, most of the nurses I worked with didn't carry

  21. Lawsuit.. Discovery phase.

    Have Nurse replied to Yoga nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Can't say that I agree with this. In Texas, where I use to live, very few nurses carry it. All it does is provide the person who is suing, with a free bank account courtesy of you and the insurance...

    Have Nurse replied to boquiabierta's topic in General Nursing

    We too have T.M.A.s (Trained Medical Assistants) to give orals, eye drops, ear meds and topicals. But nebs and insulins, no. The nurse has to do those due to assessments of lungs and also doing...

  25. Pts refusing to weigh

    Have Nurse replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it can be a bit disconcerting not to have that data. Let me share with you why I don't get on the scale. It has nothing to do with embarrassment or ego or denial, honestly. I'm not obese...
