  1. Increase in I&D's in the South?

    RN30241 replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    I wish I had a dollar for every patient that presented to triage with a "spider bite" that turns out to be folliculitis. Forget hygiene teaching...these folks turn all shades of purple when they...

  2. I Double Dawg Dare You, Do It!

    RN30241 replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I once turned my head and allowed a family to sneak a chihuahua in to see her owner who was terminally ill. Yeah, health code regulations and all that stuff...I can honestly say it was the right...

  3. Hospital Love Stories ! ! !

    RN30241 replied to Esmeraldad1203's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I married in June 2005. He is an R.T (x-ray tech), that my sister used to work with years ago. We happened to meet up with him a few years ago duing a trip to the E.D. with our father...

  4. I'm lucky b/c I enjoy 12hr noc shifts

    RN30241 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    RN30241 replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

    My very first nursing position was on the surgical floor. While not a common practice, the surgeons would have to do debridments on the floor or evacuate hematomas from post-op incisions. For this...

  7. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    RN30241 replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Agree to wearing the button as long as you can also wear a button that says, "I'm here to save your butt, not kiss it." Seriously, is administration wearing the buttons,

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

    RN30241 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Hello to all of my sisters and brothers on the frontlines of health care ...the ED! As much as I hate to admit it...stupid people are fascinating sometimes! I'm just glad to know that they don't all...
