  1. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

    tvccrn replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    That would be considered earning it.

  2. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

    tvccrn replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I was brought up that you don't automatically get respect, you EARN it. Therefore, by some reckoning, I don't have to respect her because that's the way I am.

  3. Rules for the ER (long)

    tvccrn replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    No problem, Leah. I have been out of ER nursing for quite a few years, but to read this thread has brought it all back for me and I find myself remembering "the good ole days".

  4. I feel really, really stupid

    tvccrn replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the best nurses I have ever worked with barely passed. Nursing is learned before you get out of school, but as the previous poster said, it also continues until you are no longer here. Do...

  5. 18 Year Old Had Breast Removed due to Piercing

    tvccrn replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Wisconsin and here the tattoo places and the body piercing places are subject to state regulation and annual inspection. From this post, am I to assume that it's not that way in every...

  6. Rules for the ER (long)

    tvccrn replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    I didn't say I didn't enjoy reading this thread. I have laughed more while in here than I have in a while. I was merely pointing out that an OB thread that spun off this one also had a new one...

  7. In-hospital MDs take pressure off physicians

    tvccrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If our program worked that way, I might feel differently. I don't work on the floor and all I know is that our patients never know who the doctor taking care of them is and the majority would like it...

  8. Rules for the ER (long)

    tvccrn replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    This was tried with the similar OB thread and the "Rules for OB nurses" thread was closed saying that there was already something going like that.

  9. Dumb HIPPA codes

    tvccrn replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    :uhoh3:

  10. How do you stop bad habits?

    tvccrn replied to loriannlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what the generic name is but the trade name is Wellbutrin. I have a friend who quit using this. I just went cold turkey and didnt' have a hard time. I ha a really hard time when I...

  11. Dumb HIPPA codes

    tvccrn replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe my elevator doesn't go all the way to the top either because I haven't the slightest idea what a HIPPA code is. I have worked in healthcare for over 11 years. If I haven't ever heard of this...

  12. In-hospital MDs take pressure off physicians

    tvccrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't like this program. When a patient comes into the hospital and has a hospitalist taking care of them, the hospitalist doesn't know the patient like the primary MD does. Most of the time, they...

  13. Is it possible to hold a p/t job while going to school f/t in nursing?

    tvccrn replied to Captain Amazing's topic in General Nursing

    I went to school five days a week, worked 16 hours a day on Saturday and Sunday, and was a single parent of three kids. It can be done.

  14. Morbidly obese patients

    tvccrn replied to 1husband's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say the OP was bashing the obese, I was merely pointing out that the title didn't fit the entire post as it was only one aspect of the patient. The OP also didn't say that was the reason for...

  15. Morbidly obese patients

    tvccrn replied to 1husband's topic in General Nursing

    I think we have all had patients like this. I agree the aonther poster that said "hotel syndrome". I have always wondered why people come into the hospital if they are going to decline everything we...

  16. Are you my waitress today?

    tvccrn replied to adria37's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, there are hospitals out there that promote this view. You have the customer satisfaction survey's that come back with a complaint about the "service" they received and the staff are...

  17. Breast Feeding and NYT article

    tvccrn replied to scribblerpnp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, so her mistake was not checking the cooler on the trip out. I think this is going a bit too far. I can see being cautious, but breast milk. Come on. It's not like it's C4 or something. I...

  18. Breast Feeding and NYT article

    tvccrn replied to scribblerpnp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If she couldn't bring the ice packs on the trip out there, why would she have been able to bring them on the way

  19. Can anyone give me insight to Marshfield?

    tvccrn replied to tizmonster's topic in General Nursing

    The major employers here are the Marshfield Clinic and St. Joseph's Hospital. The hospital and clinic are two separate entities that are conjoined. I moved to wisconsin in 1995 and consider the...

  20. help about CABG

    tvccrn replied to tcwmntcwtdod's topic in General Nursing

    You might get a better response on this in the perioperative forum. For the General nursing population, we don't deal with the draping and the official names of incisions and such. To the majority,...

  21. Ampules still being used, Ouch!

    tvccrn replied to NurseyPoo's topic in General Nursing

    Our fentanyl still comes in the ampules.

  22. IL RN license to WI license help

    tvccrn replied to Nahbee's topic in General Nursing

    Look to see if Illinois is a compact state. There are a group of states that have entered into an agreeemtn to reciprocate licenses. Other than that, I had no problem getting my license in Wisconsin...

  23. Update on Gross Out Co-Worker

    tvccrn replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    SORRY, was just curious as she had been posting on other threads since she last posted

  24. Video cameras banned in L&D

    tvccrn replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for clearing that up. I had a senior moment and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to take a picture of an apgar.

  25. Update on Gross Out Co-Worker

    tvccrn replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I have one question....where is the OP? It's been quite a while since she has posted in the thread she started about this person.
