  2. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

  5. To all the "Old School" Nurses

    squeakykitty replied to TiggerBelly's topic in General Nursing

    squeakykitty replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think I would tell her that if she was a nurse, then she should know better about how to deal with a chest tube. Judging by her answer to where she worked, I don't think she is a nurse at

  9. What do you think of this then?

  10. Patients who are too lazy to open their own splenda packets

    squeakykitty replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    squeakykitty replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

  14. Patients who are too lazy to open their own splenda packets

    squeakykitty replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think that this thread is derision of pt. behavior to talk about the laziness or selfish entitlement attitudes. This is a good thread to vent and share stories in. Who knows--maybe...

    squeakykitty replied to BearyPrivate's topic in General Nursing

  21. Patients who are too lazy to open their own splenda packets

    squeakykitty replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't have said this better myself. Chances are, they were that way before they even had to have dialysis. I'll bet that not one of them even asked what was wrong with the pt. who was
