    gfs scrubs are kinda see through

    PMFB-RN replied to robert1043's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Dude you need to man the heck up! Tell her in no uncertain terms that he isn't allowed to both wear what she is wearing AND have you as her boyfriend. I simply would not allow my girlfriend to dress...

    If you could just pick up and leave, where would you go?

    PMFB-RN replied to JNursee's topic in General Nursing

    I did exactly that right after high school. I spend 18 months traveling around the work with a back pack and alomost no money. I worked on a pig farm in Sweden, a saw mill in Germany, a dairy farm in...

    If you could just pick up and leave, where would you go?

    PMFB-RN replied to JNursee's topic in General Nursing

    I already did exactly that. I spend years researching places for certain criteria. Work wise I wanted a publicaly owned hospital not associated with a religion (my experience is that there is more...

    PMFB-RN replied to JoAnnS's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What, what what!! Any physician who smacked my hands would be immediatly met with a smack upside his head. An I don't mean a gentel kiss either. I wouldn't even have to decide or not. To hit back...

    I have the perfect thing for you. I work with an orthopedic suregon who has the exact same views as your IM guy but about other doctors who are not ortho. My guy can treat your in a condecending and...

    And this is why I hate floating to stepdown...

    PMFB-RN replied to calivianya's topic in Critical Care

    I don't understand. It's a stepdown unit and yet there are not monitors in the rooms? How can this be a stepdown unit? What makes it a stepdown unit? FWIW I have never seen a unit labeled step...

    gfs scrubs are kinda see through

    PMFB-RN replied to robert1043's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Seems to me that she is deliberatly attempting to to attract attention from someone. I simply would not allow my girlfriend to wear see through pants to work. There are simply no good reasons or...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    PMFB-RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you are under the impression that the yahoos over at ******** represent the opinions of some, many, all physicians? (shakes head in dismay). You poor misguided soul. Besides are we supposed...

    I didn't read the link. Why would anyone? Our discussion is about NPs. This link references midlevels, not

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    PMFB-RN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing that REALLY matters is patient outcomes. The evidence I have seen shows that NPs are safe and effective health care providers with outcomes equal to physicians. Talk about how many...

    ICU Straight outta school?

    PMFB-RN replied to WalterWho's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Of course she couldn't! That was totally unreasonable to expect her to be able to handle that kind of patient load. Just as unreasonable as expecting a med-surg nurse to float to ICU and be assigned...

    ICU Straight outta school?

    PMFB-RN replied to WalterWho's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is very good advice. I have known SICU managers to go so far as to contact nursing school instructors and ask them if the candidate has ever expressed an interest in CRNA school, and even...

    ICU Straight outta school?

    PMFB-RN replied to WalterWho's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where I work pretty much only new grads are hired into the ICU. They are hired into a 9 months critical care nurse residency program designed for new grads. Its very intense. Mostly likely if you...

    gfs scrubs are kinda see through

    PMFB-RN replied to robert1043's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The issue isn't her thong, it's her see through pants. If you have told her she is wear see though pants and she chooses to wear them anyway then you have done what you can. Like Sodiernurse said the...

    gfs scrubs are kinda see through

    PMFB-RN replied to robert1043's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Usually I would say that what kind of underpants she wears is nobody's business buy hers. However by wearing see through pants she is sort of making it EVRYBODY's business. I suggest you tell her...

    Why can't nurses intubate?

    PMFB-RN replied to natnat122's topic in Emergency

    I am sure they are. Until this discussion the idea of a hospitalists, or a non-anesthesia resident intubating was outside my experience. Sounds dangerous to me. How many intubations can a hospitalist...

    how long do I have to STAY in bedside nursing to LEAVE bedside nursing?

    PMFB-RN replied to RNbellashadow's topic in Nursing Career

    This!!! As rapid response nurse I see this in some nurses. Some nurses are in their 10th or 20th year and still asking the same questions they did their first

    Horrible experience with IV push Furosemide, any insight is appreciated

    PMFB-RN replied to shopARC's topic in Medical-Surgical

    You need to relax. I agree with the previous poster that the Lasix and the 3 PVCs were unrelated. Monitors are notoriously unreliable at reading rhythms. I have trained myself to ignore anything that...

    Does your hospital or facility badge include your credentials?

    PMFB-RN replied to icuRNmaggie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No, no it's not. Different color scrubs do not help patients identify who is who. Different color scrubs are about management putting staff into their place and showing their power. The larger RN...

    Does your hospital or facility badge include your credentials?

    PMFB-RN replied to icuRNmaggie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My hospital has recently gone to a new badge. It only has our first & last names in very small letters and our picture. It is supposedly a smart badge. We use it to log into our computers and...

    Controlling parents won't allow job interview

    PMFB-RN replied to guyman123's topic in Nursing Career

    I read the OP and for the life of me do not understand what the issue or problem is? Sure the parents have expressed their wishes but so what? If the new grad in question under 18? Are the parents...

    Do you need all those degrees?

    PMFB-RN replied to dnsonthego's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Like many here I could sign my name with an alphabet soup of initials behind my name. I always sign my name Pmfb, RN. There are exceptions. Like for example if I have been asked to write a letter of...
