   I thought I was the only one who was irritated with a reply of "no problem". Sometimes I will reply back, "this was never a problem". Sometimes, usually I keep silent. My other 'pet peeve' is when people say "let me do this real quick'. Taking your t...

   londonflo replied to psychgirl1's topic in NP Students

3. Any nurses file their own taxes? Turbo? h&r block?

   londonflo replied to Happytimes's topic in General Nursing

   You will pay a "fairly simple price" with a CPA tax professional (not a corporation that rent in a strip mall 3 months of the year and hires people dressed like the "Statue of Liberty" waving you down.) Who pays for that? As a nurse we have a lot o...

5. Ceased placement due to not taking vital signs properly

   londonflo replied to Kirsten Kurian's topic in General Students

   Was it required that you be a CNA prior to enrolling? Were the manual assessment skills taught in a previous skills lab? Were you required to do a return demonstration? Did you sign out a BP cuff to practice outside of lab if you were hesitant w...

9. Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

   londonflo replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

   I found this very moving. It was, I am sure, very traumatic to you. I appreciate how you and your co-workers/administration created a safe environment for your residents for a full year. Wish it could have been longer...since health care is suppose...

10. Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    londonflo replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    If you indeed went to ER would you be in contact with other patients, beside in the waiting room? You would probably feel comfort that the ER staff will not pass COVID or any other diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella onto you since THEY ARE VA...

    Frankly, before the 20 years before my last 5 years of retirement (2017), We still had cart keys to access narcotics. As I had worked/taught at this hospital/college, and dispensed most of the controlled medication with 10 students X2 patients per s...

15. The Movie Thread

    londonflo replied to Tweety's topic in Lounge

    We enjoyed the documentary "We are the world" also. Boy, could Michael Jackson hit a pure note. Brought back a lot of memories of that time. I always liked Huey Lewis and Steve Perry singing. Cindy too. Too bad His Highness Prince decided not to att...
