    Well thank you, I just calls em as I sees em! Thanks for a thought provoking thread and I have had a great time debating it, aftermidnight and I worked 7a-7p today so I gues I will rack out,

  3. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more, this is how you feel, so others are allowed to feel how they feel right? So you mentioned you find the human organism interesting, does that mean you think it was created by...

  4. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Very good post!In fact prior to Flo only prostitues were used as nurses. People of good breeding and high moral content did not want their daughters doing such work. So actually Flo made nursing a...

  5. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    You hit on my point exactly. Even if you or someone else does not believe in Angels it is a giant leap to take being called an Angel by someone that does believe an insult. I feel that too many people...

  6. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    When nurses are referred to as angels, as sometimes happens in popular and professional literature, on television, and in advertising, it doesn't make me proud. When writers in nursing journals state...

  7. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    My point being that just because I consider Nursing MY calling doesn't mean I don't also expect all the things you mentioned. In fact I demand all the things you mentioned. I posted previously, I...

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey it's not all about you! Relax! I was just making generalizations like you

  10. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    This would seem like a personal attack to some, however I know you are just being facetious. I have no worries over what you think or feel about me, perhaps nursing school should teach that you don't...

  11. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I apparently don't get it. I stated plainly that I do not worry about Pts after my shift. I am not sure what closer/better and more intune means. I am an educater and a caring nurse that treats my Pts...

  12. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, ya know when I hear people say they could never do what I do I feel they literally mean they could not handle cleaning poop or deal with blood and vomit and take dealing with people that don't...

  13. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think what you are referring to here are enablers or door mats I do not see them as Angels and I dont think their Pt's do either. I think these nurses are the same in their personal lives and are...

  14. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    After reading the article I am actually a little offended. I do think my work is Noble. I would likely feel my work was noble if I were a garbage man, if you have no self esteem then it is your place...

  15. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well if you honestly think that when a Pt calls you Angel they mean you are literally an Angel and don't need want or deserve, all of the things that a career or a profession involve then I would say...

  16. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a male nurse and I get Honey and sweety all the time. I also get Big Guy. Tiny, Big Boy, and many others. I never take offense. I also as I mentioned call Pt's by little terms of endearment and...

  17. AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    CCU NRS replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps it is being taken too literally. Maybe the people that are using Angel are using it to mean a caring entity that is devoting time to them. I am no Angel either but would never complain about...

  18. How does your hospital handle staff who want to vote?

    CCU NRS replied to directcare4me's topic in General Nursing

    I am actually going to vote and then come to work and ask people if they need to be relieved to go vote. I have not checked with manager on this but I figure we work 7a-7p so if they don't go during...

    CCU NRS replied to Roozeyk's topic in General Nursing

    I worked agency for most of my LPN career and when i got my RN I went to work for a hospital that I had worked at for many years as an LPN. I also got 1/2 9yr/4.5 yr exp toward beginning salary. I...

  20. Trach care

    CCU NRS replied to happylush's topic in Pulmonary

    You should not deflate the cuff, the inner cannula is a seperate piece and should be easily removed. The best thing to do is check policy in your facility and ask someone to walk you through it just...

    well i didn't want to register for the paper to read the story, but it probably goes back to the old chicken vs egg question, do elderly sick people die because they are in the uit or are they in the...
