  1. Not a poop or pee nurse?!?

    Elisheva replied to thumperRN's topic in General Nursing

    Heck, sometimes pee and poop were the highlights of my

  2. What would you do if you worked with a racist?

    Elisheva replied to Happytocare's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Crow and coffee are the mainstays of my diet. OT a bit, but I had to laugh at your comment about seeing things that are not there. A few years back, while into the 10th hour of a 12 hour shift, I...

  3. Nervous about graduating

    Elisheva replied to Mommy TeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly the way I felt in the last six months before graduation. I only WISH I had known it was normal. No one else in my class was admitting to feeling this way; I thought they were all so...

  4. Breastfeeding at 2 1/2 years???

    Elisheva replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    There are worse things in this ol' world than a mother who breast feeds her kid for an extended period of time. And, when you get right down to it, it's not anyone else's business. They probably have...

  5. What would you do if you worked with a racist?

    Elisheva replied to Happytocare's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yep, I've done it, too. Hence my personal "no posting before a second cup of coffee" rule, and even that doesn't always

  6. What would you do if you worked with a racist?

    Elisheva replied to Happytocare's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Zero Tolerance. She should be reported

  7. The Labor & Delivery Nursing Team

    Elisheva posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've been wondering about something. I would assume that many of you worked in other areas before working in labor and delivery. Considering that your patient's are female (understood that the SO...

  8. Corporate America vs. Nursing- culture shock! Any others out there?

    Elisheva replied to socishan's topic in General Nursing

    I started in nursing, left and got a job as an executive secretary in the corporate world and am contemplating a return to nursing. Corporate World has a lot of advantages. My clothes stayed clean, I...

  9. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    Elisheva replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell the truth to a potential employer. Chances are they will find out anyway. And if they do, the fact that you were not forthcoming about the incident suggests that you had reason to hid...

  10. Not a poop or pee nurse?!?

    Elisheva replied to thumperRN's topic in General Nursing

    Every nurse is a poop and pee nurse. Goes with the territory. I'm sorry, but I would have had so much fun with her. I would have gotten out a pad and pencil and asked her to clarify her other...

  11. "Honey"

    Elisheva replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    It galls me when some 18 year old at a fast food restaurant calls me "sweetie" or "hon." That's assuming a familiarity that we don't have, thank you very much. And, I never called patients by such...

  12. The Today Show

    Elisheva replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know how to achieve it, but I do wish there was a separate and distinquishable "look" for the nurse. Go ahead, flame me for it, but I wore all whites 10 years ago. Often, I wore white dress...

  13. The Labor & Delivery Nursing Team

    Elisheva replied to Elisheva's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks! You understood my convoluted post perfectly. I'm thinking (hoping) that working so closely together with the same docs in a labor and delivery unit might result in a closer and more supportive...

  14. Question about confidentiality

    Elisheva posted a topic in General Nursing

    First, let me say that I love this forum, even when it's a bit sticky or controversial. I think healthy disagreement can be a good thing. I do have a question about patient confidentiality. I've...

  15. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    Elisheva replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Even if she doesn't use them for a reference, she's going to have to list her last few places of employment. I don't think you can leave that out. This is exactly why I would have hired a lawyer. I...

  16. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    Elisheva replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I owe Lori a debt of gratitude. I am returning to nursing soon after a 10 year absence. There was a time when I would have done exactly what Lori did - I would have felt responsible to go to work no...

  17. I am a nurse, but I dream of....

    Elisheva replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    I've actually done some catering and I love to cook. Unfortunately, doing these things on a small scale doesn't generate a lot of income and doing it on a bigger scale requires a full-time committment...

  18. wanting to go back to LD after 6 years..with only one year experience

    Elisheva replied to kayjaylamb's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've been out for 10 years and my previous experience was on Med-Surg. I've decided to take an RN refresher course for a couple of reasons. First, ten years is a long time in the medical field -...

  19. Unethical behavior

    Elisheva replied to kirkwoodnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The mother of the preemies may have some difficult times ahead, but her life wouldn't be any easier with a husband like this around. Yeah, the affair is sleazy, but can or should she be fired for it?...

  20. Question about confidentiality

    Elisheva replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    They're pretty serious about that stuff. One of my docs hands out numbers to the patients in the waiting rooms so they don't have to call names. I guess I'm just an extremely cautious person, but I...

  21. former RN thinking about refresher course

    Elisheva replied to thekid's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I could have written your post. Almost. I've been out of nursing for 10 years. Quit after two for all the reasons you did. I, too, am easily stressed out. However, I've found myself...

  22. Allnurses Community, I have just realized that Nursing isn't for me.....

    Elisheva replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I think it's great that your considering these things BEFORE nursing school! If I had any doubts at all, I wouldn't pursue it. If it's what you really want, the things posted on this site might give...

  23. The Today Show

    Elisheva replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    Funny you should say that! I went to the bank last week and the teller was wearing a shirt that was so low-cut that I thought she might have a pole beside her window. Cover up, for Pete's

  24. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    Elisheva replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Many lawyer will give free consultations. I had one just a couple of weeks ago. Some even do a few cases a year pro bono. It might be worth calling around. Also, there's Legal Aid, but I'm not...

  25. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the OP asked about any flak, not perceptions, that nurses may have gotten from patients and/or "higher ups". Personally, I've enjoyed reading all the posts, even views that might be...
