I actually had my second semester clincal instructer try to fail me. She always gave me grief. One day we were going over IM inj. I was doing it the way the book and the first semester instructer taught me. She felt as if that wasnt right and was telling me that I had one more chance the next day to get it right. Well fortunantly my first semister inst. was in the room when she was making a butt out of her self and corrected her very quickly. She was the only instructer that ever had a problem with me or gave me crap.

No I'm expressing the opinion from the other side and saying what alot of nurses who do become sick at times but feel guilty about calling in because Joe Blow calls in all the time so when people who are really sick or thier family members are sick take a bunch of crap. Trust me, people do get sick I know this, but getting in a fight with your spouse isnt getting sick that is drama. I dont know how to say it any better than that. Drama queens and kings and habitual call in freaks gives everyone a bad wrap. Is saying that so wrong. I am also the person that when you call in and (DISCLAIMER: not intended for use of people who are really sick)you are not really sick has to work the floor after I do my job. I am the guy who has worked short handed and in between giving showers and changing and taking people to the bathroom try to pass my pills to the 30 residents because that is your personal time and if you want to go to the bar and drink all night on your scheduled shift you can. I have no problem working the floor, in fact I love working the floor, but I really dont like getting to work at 7a.m. and some donkey butt calls 10 min before shift change and decide they have been sick all day but waits until the last min. to call in for a 2-10 shift!

LMAO, Im sorry if that thread insulted you. But now I'm just curious, did it insult you because mabe that is you or you just have a soft heart for idiots that love drama. Just curious?:trout:Before everyone of you sick people get your panties in a wad, read the above post in which he is refering to. This isnt about sick people just the Oscar nominees for best drama.

One more and this is for all nursing students. My first semister in the LTC i had a younger man who had M.S. Well not knowing how to do anything, but very eager to learn, I just jump right in there( I had never been in any kind of medical or nursing facility at this point). Of course anytime I asked the nurse or cna a ? they really didnt give up to much info about how or what to do. Anyways I lifted this 190lbs man 2days a week probably 10 times a day. I had noticed on the end of the bed a bar the first time I went in and thought to my self why the hell would somebody put that bar there, its just in the way. Well the last day of clinicals I had enough of picking this man up by myself because when I would lift him he would just pick his legs up off the floor. I went and got the nurse and said Look I need help with this man, He doesnt help me at all. With a crap grin on her face (she knew that I had been lifting this man all semister) she said come with me. When we walked in the room he also had the same grin on his face. The nurse rolled him up to the bar that was always in the way and said, stand up. I'll be darned if that man didnt stand up without any assist. Be carefull, Its true that nurses eat their young, and if you see something that doesnt make sense, ASK.

I had an alzhiemers Pt who I had taken care of for about two years. She was funny. Well anywho, one day before our staff meeting she came up to me and said are you ready to go honey..puzzled I said well first I have to go to the meeting, but where are we going. She just looked at me and says, you big dummy, on our honeymoon. I said when did we get married? She said well the minister just left and told us to get going. I told her that I was married and my wife worked here. (she really did she is also a nurse) She looked at me and said: Why would you marry me if you were already married. Well I talked with her for about 5min and thought I had her conviced that we werent married. I go to the meeting which is every employee in the building. I am standing at the back of the room. The adminstrator is in mid sentence when she walks into the room looking around. She says excuse me im looking for my husband. Ammused my adm. says well you can go get him. She walks right up next to me and locks arms with me and says lets go honey. I am so red at this point and everyone is laughing at me. It took about an hour and her meeting my wife to convince her that we where not married. She died shortly after that and I will never forget her.:monkeydance:

LOL Thats a nurse right there. Broke it down the right way. NICE! I also have noticed that usually with the ears they are wearing O2 usually the last couple of days which combined with what was said above (not going to try to compete with that) could add to the ear explanation
-
I have never looked at the nose, but I will next time. I have noticed the ears stick out more when they are getting ready to pass. Someone told me that too and I didnt believe them until I saw it for myself. Sorry about your grandpa.

And listen because I was so intrested in what was going on at the table I forgot to breathe, which isnt a good thing...so remeber to not hold your breath...But it is pretty cool.

Bill, tell them they have no idea of the smartest, hottest, and kindest women that you get to work with everyday and at the end of the day you have made someone feel better and they could never on any level understand that. My friends used to call me Sh!tpan until they saw my girlfriend (now wife) that I met in nursing. Now they say nothing because thier tongues are hanging out of thier mouths.

I have written profanity, because I want to set the stage for anyone reading my notes. It just gives the reader a better feeling. I have also had women with behavior problems say lick my .... (for this site I will not use it.) or suck on my titty, ect. I chart it exactly because as a male i dont want anything being misquoted or misconstruded.

LMAO! For real. Sounds like a drama queen to me. Someone who always has a tragedy in thier lives...Yes you know the person, everyone has a drama friend. If they dont have drama, something is wrong and this person usually doesnt last long after the 5th time they have called in because they have no real control over thier lives...Take control and watch the drama disappear! Everyone has personal problems, but not everyday and every min. Teachers, your boss, and anyone else you know doesnt really care that your dog is sick, or your uncle died again. Sorry fighting with a spouse is NO reason to call in for work unless he has beat you to a bloody pulp (I would still want a Dr. note). Thats chicken #&*!. Sorry me and Billy are fighting over the last pop tart and I aint leaven till I've won. errrrr DRAMA DRAMA:trout:

Thats funny because in my post I put unless you or your family is sick. Did I not?? What the first line of your post suggested to me is The hell with everyone else if I dont want to go to work today just because, then I wont. Right??? You did not even mention your family until the very last sentence, so dont give me that B.S. that im getting down on you for taking care of your family. I hear it all the time, the excuses of why I cant work. I yes, in the real world, if you are not an exuctive in a company with alot of pea ons under you...you do get fired for not showing up to work excessivly!!! As far as you favors, in my post did I not say: Your employer pays you to be the person i mention above. (that person was):Its a JOB you WORK at a job. So now that I have explained that, I dont think it is your job to come in early or stay late...never said that did I, not did I imply it!!! As far as being a supernurse, I have no idea where you are going with that one, BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, SHOWING UP FOR YOUR SCHEDULED SHIFT UNLESS YOU OR YOUR FAMILY IS SICK DOESNT CONSTITUTE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND AS SOME PEOPLE WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE!!!! Thats like me running to my boss saying "hey boss I did what you pay me for" and expecting to get a pat on the back.:trout::uhoh3::uhoh21:

Right there!! Really want to work with you: "Sorry man wont be in today, They have a special on Opra that I really want to see" Its not cool to leave your co-workers short...unless you or your kid is sick. What you just described to me is abuse of benifit setup to help people if they are sick, and I do not know of any company who has sick/personel days and Vacation days in the same sentence. Sick and Personel days are set up for when you or a family member, I dont know....mabe sick, not because you have something better to do that day or your just having a dam the man day. Vacation days are set up probably when you would like to take a three day weekend or a week off without putting YOUR PT. AND CO-WORKERS in a crappy situation. As for "favors". Its not a favor to do your job and be a dependable employee. Its a JOB you WORK at a JOB. I have worked in many other fields other than nursing, and every job I have worked at has expected the same thing. One more thing, your employer pays you to be the person I mentioned above and nothing else. If you dont think you can be that person then save everyone some time and stress and go work at McDonalds. They probably wont miss you on the grill, everyone likes meatless hamburgers.:uhoh21::angryfire:trout:
