    Haunted replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was working in an out patient free clinic and this teeny bopper who was about 5 months along with twins and a nasty crack habit showed up because she had not felt the fetus (s) move in a day or so....

    Haunted replied to TsunamiKim's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  7. Kaiser questions re: Traveling

    Haunted replied to Nurse_Smith's topic in California Nursing

  10. Can't go with family on vacation. Is it worth it?!

    Haunted replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get the whole "negotiate with the other unit nurses for scheduling" mentality. Scheduling a unit is not the responsibility of any staff nurse, that is what the admins are for, that is what...

  11. I'm tired of it! I had enough!

    Haunted replied to marshalbc77's topic in General Nursing

    I do work agency, which is all I have ever done for many reasons the OP noted. But the med/surg nurse is truly the frontline, in the trenches hero and the first one to take the bullet. I bet if we...

  12. Hot Flashes!!!

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I do take primrose oil along with omega 3's, calcium etc. I have to say the low dose patch I have been on has eliminated my hot flashes and I slept thru the whole nite last week. I may have just been...

    Haunted replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I had the IPL done twice and it really evened out my skin tone. I have very sensitive sun damaged skin and it helped for a while. The lasers burn the skin and Thermage does not last but a few days....

  16. Hot Flashes!!!

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, yes it is. Tell me girls, how is a horses urine that I ingest supposed to conform to my human dynamic? Could it be that is only costs 4 cents per tablet and is easy to manufacture? They spend...

  19. Sedating hysterical victims?

    Haunted replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in Forensic

    I believe it would foul your test results. We are told to obtain blood and urine for tox screen. The sedative you give may be the one that may have been used, thus cancelling out a consent issue. The...

    Haunted replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in General Nursing

    The "luxury" of agency? Wow! I don't have a regular paycheck or benefits that I can count on when census is low. I don't have the comraderie that goes with being on staff. No one throws me a pot luck...

  22. per diem nurses

    Haunted replied to cshelly12's topic in General Nursing

    Day 2 of my "guaranteed shift", yeah, guaranteed to get CANCELLED! I wish my registry could also predict my lucky lotto numbers. I'm maintaining my mental agility by sorting dirty laundry by color,...
