OK...one more, then I'm gonna put my feet up: Pt drifts toward light, says, "ohhhh, this is nice." Voice: "Sorry, not your time..." Pt: "Oh gee, thanks! You'd do that for me?" Voice: "No, I'm doing it...
OK... I like this Ninja Nurse character too much to let her go.... Ninja nurse, Matrix-like, zaps around corridors....chart flies smack dab in front of unit secretary, and Ninja appears nonplussed in...
heh heh.... Dr. talks to pt, all nicey=nice and pt happily eats it up. Out at nurses' station, doc has a hissy, throws chart at nurse. Ninja Nurse, with white headband, dropkicks chart neatly back...

I've dealt with a lot of pts who were in a lot of pain but were afraid of "becoming addicted." If I see a pt. who is postop and who is making the faces of someone in pain, I explain to them the...

Well, Mario, long time since you've posted! Glad to hear you're still in there kickin'. :) Chemo, I agree, does have an odor, although I haven't smelled it much. But ever since the "cheeze" thread,...
How "harsh and hurtful" is she going to feel if she has her priorities too screwed up to get through the program? Whatta waste! Better someone's honest with her here and now than have her go through...
I said what I did because most nursing students who come to the board are freaking out about courses, grades, about the job, about how to manage their personal lives along with nursing school..... and...
Awww shucks, LV, tweren't nuttin. You know how I'm always flaming the newbies and tellin' 'em to get outta the profession. :rotfl: My silly shallow sleepy (swollen-footed) self thanks you...
"And, JMHO, please please please drop nursing. Go be a model, an actress, whatever.... but (I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but there ya go) PLEASE please---anything but nursing" I think...

:chuckle: Good one, Tephra. Here's mine, and because I'm getting old and crotchety and feeling like if I don't do it for myself, nobody will, I really and truly am working toward this goal: I work...
That's happened to me. I think that's more than annoying--it's dangerous. There's a major difference between someone helping out a little and someone taking over. Sounds like she's trying to take...
My ex was pretty scary too. Eventually, I decided he might do something (else!) crazy, so we moved outta state. Had to leave my family and lost my home, but gained my sanity and a better life. Only...
I think I get it....sorta; I guess what's puzzling is that if I, Jo Citizen, tried to get a Rx filled without the Dr. calling it in, pharmacist is not supposed to fill it. Then HE (not me) is in...
I still don't get why your ex wasn't in trouble for filling a script for you without a confirming TO from the doc. Doesn't seem to me that you did anything but pick it up from pharmacy; they should...
