  5. Sick at work, AND disappointed!

    Peeps Mcarthur replied to hapeewendy's topic in General Nursing

    If you can get to them before rigor, expired nurses make a great IV pole..........A little akward for transport though, so somewhat impractical. Oriented patients need to be sedated before...

    Peeps Mcarthur replied to Sundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Naw, I think there should be "celebrity nurse boxing". Whomever the nurses are in the deepest doo-doo could beat it out of eachother. The winner, of course, would get a title bout with the admin that...

  11. I snapped

    Peeps Mcarthur replied to Sundowner's topic in General Nursing

    I think that "Bertha" should have backed you up on your decision. If Bertha stopped you physically then that is assault........buuuuuut, when you grabbed her you added verbal assault. If it helps,...

    Peeps Mcarthur replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    What an interesting viewpoint. I'm sure there are few on this post that can say they know exactly what an NM goes through. I'm sure there are just as few NM's that really know what a staff nurse...

    What ever you do don't order from Allheart.com. They screwed me. Just once

  17. Out of curiousity

    Peeps Mcarthur replied to Marianne518's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting as it is, this BB is a learning tool for me. Nurses will post opinions that they NEVER would speak outloud or even want me to know they're thinking about me. If I want the "whole...

  23. Unlicensed personnel calling in prescriptions?!

    Peeps Mcarthur replied to bassbird's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've never heard of such a thing, but before my training I would have thought it was no big deal. Ignorance is bliss. Since I know that mistakes are made by professionals that are trained, and those...
