    Rustyhammer replied to caroladybelle's topic in General Nursing

    You will always find quicker results by either asking the person (mod) who was talking to you in the first place or posting your question in the feedback forum with specific links to the thread(s)...

  3. MD/nursing: Is one more scientific than the other?

    Rustyhammer replied to susanna's topic in Nursing Career

    Breath deep everyone. Remember that you need to keep this type of personal stuff to PM's. No personal attacks! OK?

  5. Is this guy for real??????

    Rustyhammer replied to Lasoniamacaroni's topic in General Nursing

    Once we had a nurses car broken into. Turned out to be her angry boyfriend.

  6. Hospital RN/Will I ever grow to like it?

    Rustyhammer replied to Jill03RN's topic in General Nursing

    After almost 20 years I feel that way sometimes. But most of the time I love my job.

  9. Speaking Spanish Helpful?

    Rustyhammer replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

    Spanish is the essential 2nd language. Hispanics are now the largest minority in the US and growing bigger all the time. It would be nice to get an extra $100/month for knowing spanish.

  12. Nursing Newspaper

    Rustyhammer replied to RMA's topic in General Nursing

    We get the newsletter here in NM. The first place I go is the disciplinary action section. See if I know anyone who is in deep Kimchee.

  14. From bad to worse in my facility

    Rustyhammer replied to Krissy NY's topic in General Nursing

    There are soo many fine places to work, why on earth stay at a place like that? Move on and let your career move on as well. (is this how NY is? We westerners are scared of that area)

  15. Need advice on working nights

    Rustyhammer replied to J Lynn's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest to sleep after your last shift but not all day. Just get a few hours so that you still have the afternoon and believe me you will sleep fine that night.

  16. Bathing a 7 y/o

    Rustyhammer replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    We went over the whole "good touch, bad touch" thing when they were very small. We still talk about sexual matters now, even with (especially with?) our 16 year old girl. Yes, it is a good idea to...

  17. Can nurses in the US really work a straight 24 hour shift??

    Rustyhammer replied to care bear's topic in General Nursing

    I've done a few 24's. In LTC you don't leave until the relief shows up. If they don't come, you don't go.

    Rustyhammer replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    I almost hate to say this but I showered with my kids til they were past 7. It wasn't all the time but it was sometimes. We had a good ole time in the shower, singing and laughing and getting clean....

    Rustyhammer replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

  21. Your Worst Mistake

    Rustyhammer replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    We have ALL made mistakes. Get plenty of rest before work and don't work at anyone elses pace. You know what you can do and what your safe speed is. I also agree it's better to fess up when you...

  22. Would you assist in abortions?

    Rustyhammer replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You all need to be commended for not letting this thread get way off base. Lets remember to keep it friendly.

  23. Losing your license

    Rustyhammer replied to nursemichelle's topic in General Nursing

    When I get my states newsletter I always go to the disciplined nurses section first. I want to see if there is anyone I know on the list. Nurses get caught diverting drugs mostly because of their own...

  24. What Happened to Big Sign-on Bonuses?
