  1. Negative "Its all your fault" attitude

    I love my cat! replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. People that post, "What should I do? OR "What would you do?"....when they (secretly) already know what they want to do. Then, people offer a variety of advice and opinions and the OP becomes...

  2. Holiday schedule watchers

    I love my cat! replied to swirlygirl's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh.... I totally feel for you. It is a totaly legit vent. Unfortunately, there are a few of these busy-bodies in every workplace. The worst ones are the people that can't even pull their share of...

  3. Do you raid the patient fridge?

    I love my cat! replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Juice. OJ, Apple and Cranberry! Ooohhh, Diet Pepsi racing-mom-4? I am so

  4. This one is a liability! What should I do?

    I love my cat! replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    Then you just answered your own

  5. This one is a liability! What should I do?

    I love my cat! replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    No, but Bob might. It's all about slander. You only think something because you think what you smell is booze. My constructive advise would be as the others had mentioned. Get involved with Al-Anon....

  6. This one is a liability! What should I do?

    I love my cat! replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    Absolutely!! If a person decides to get involved with reporting something that they only speculate and "think", they better be ready to fight because the person 'innocent until proven guilty' could...

    I love my cat! replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    bwa-hahahahah! i'm going to have to remember that one! that is too

  8. Congratulations! You are going to sensitivity training

    I love my cat! replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    We can write up abusive MDs where I work. I see nurses do it once in awhile, but I never see anything happen to the MDs. They just carry on. I have seen the write-ups backfire. The complaints are not...

  9. How Does Your Job Keep You From Giving Good Patient Care?

    I love my cat! replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with redundant charting. Also, in our PACU, every med has to be put in a lock box. So, every time I need something, I have to run around to the lock box, open it, get the med, administer the...

  10. Feeling really let down!!!!

    I love my cat! replied to 08gal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow! Fifty two patients is a lot of patients...even for a seasoned Nurse! I think it is really dangerous and personally, I would get out. It is not worth risking your license, especially if you are...

  11. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    I love my cat! replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I have dozens of weird allergies. I truly believe a lot of them were brought on because of my exposure to latex proteins and my latex allergy. Anyway, some people just do not understand the...

  12. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    I love my cat! replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    hi! have you ever been tested for latex allergies? there are 2 types. latex has a cross-reactivity with poinsettias. i'm just mentioning this since we are exposed to latex every day, esp. in...

  13. How many hours would you work?

    I love my cat! replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    I would do 8, but I would be on call for more. I wouldn't have any problem finding things to do with all of my free time. I think it would be a wonderful way to live. I envy those that don't have to...

  14. every LPN in my hosp was laid off today

    I love my cat! replied to FlowerbuddRN2B's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am so sorry to hear this. Some of the best Nurses I have ever worked with were LPNs. The Hospital is losing very valuable people. You mentioned educational loan assistance. Did you sign any type of...

  15. how to deal with a know-it-all?

    I love my cat! replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Ugh. Know-It-Alls can be a drag to be around. Talk to your Instructor and explain why you do not want to be paired with this person during clinicals. I'm sure he/she will be understanding about it and...

  16. iv dilaudid

    I love my cat! replied to cupcake25's topic in General Nursing

    We use it in out PACUs, too. I notice that my patients have a lot less "itching" with dilaudid. We rarely use

  17. Eww white uniforms??

    I love my cat! replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    I'll say it. I like white too, but I hate all-white uniforms. And your cupcake story made me LOL! I needed a good laugh today! I second the use of Spray-n-Wash. I also find that washing whites with...

  18. Brain Teaser

    I love my cat! replied to Dani8962's topic in General Nursing

    You are welcome! I usually HATE to throw out ideas for new members because they often become defensive and snippy with their replies regarding an idea. Again, like I mentioned above, I am waiting for...

  19. Brain Teaser

    I love my cat! replied to Dani8962's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't you asked this before in a thread started on Nov. 2? Help-Brain Teaser Your best bet for an answer would be to continue with your original thread with the same/original question. Good Luck! I'm...

  20. Why are some posts getting deleted on here?

    I love my cat! replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Chenoaspirit, I think it also has to do with who reports a post and if more than one person reports the same post. From all of the personalities on this website, I would guess that there are probably...

  21. My two least favorite words

    I love my cat! replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely hate: "No offense..........". Of course what you have to say is going to be offensive, if you have to state, "No offense" before saying it. There is a Nurse on my floor that says this all...

  22. dissecting cats

    I love my cat! replied to tessa45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had to dissect cats. I hated it and I didn't get anything out of it except, maybe, the anatomy of a cat. Nursing schools really should use a Cadaver if they really want us to learn about the human...

  23. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    I love my cat! replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Ya...I know. :nuke: Just like soy milk and cows milk are different categories and I compared

  24. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    I love my cat! replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    As another poster mentioned, I too believe many people confuse an ALLERGY with INTOLERANCE. Personally, I think that anyone who believes that they have an allergy should have testing done by an...

  25. High Metabolism + No breaks= death, diet for skinny nurses?

    I love my cat! replied to phosophorus's topic in General Nursing

    :icon_hug: Nuts and peanut butter are great. Do you have access to a microwave? There are some healthy frozen meals that are high in protein that you can prepare. They're actually very reasonably...
