  1. Larger Teaching State Funded or Small Community Private Hospital?

    KarmaComesAround posted a topic in Nursing Career

    If you had to make a choice, which one and why? Pros and Cons. Have you worked at both, and which one did you like better as far as how they treated staff, supplies available, atmosphere, nurse to...

  2. Electronic Stethescope. Yay? or Nay?

    KarmaComesAround replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I love mine. I have the 3100. I have a Cardio III too. Love it, but I was amazed at what I could hear when I tried another nurse's 3100 before I decided to buy it. Love it, and no regrets. Worth...

  3. Which of these two stethoscopes is best? (vote)

    KarmaComesAround replied to friend88's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Started with Cardio III, and now finally got the 3100. Love both, but really, really love my 3100. I can hear everything! Keep around neck at ALL times. And, let no one borrow it...it will walk...

  5. The dumbest thing you've ever heard...

    KarmaComesAround replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess this is more amusing than just dumb. It was an elderly man, but alert and oriented...he told me "every time you put that oxygen in my nose right, I have to sh--". I explained to him it had...

    KarmaComesAround replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Nursing

  9. Shift Wars! Just need to vent...

    KarmaComesAround replied to RxOnly's topic in General Nursing

    I understand completely where you are coming from. Seems like where I work it is day shift vs night shift, techs vs techs, nurses vs techs...the list could go on. It gets so old hearing the...

  10. nurse manager was rude to me

    KarmaComesAround replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    Totally understand your frustration. My NM is the same way. Never know how to take her. Well, she is a lot nicer to her favorites. The favs are suck-ups, some are lazy and spend time talking to her...

  11. Is it just the holidays?

    KarmaComesAround replied to DC Collins's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you. Although, sometimes it is easy to take someone the wrong way or read into it too much when you cannot really get their tone from the text. We do have to deal with enough stress as it...

  12. Some people should just stay quiet!!!

    KarmaComesAround replied to StephRN08's topic in General Nursing

    People are so hyper-sensitive, uptight, argumentative...oh, so many more for her possible intentions. Who knows. No matter what her reason or excuse, it does sound rude of her. She should have been...

  15. Just realized, I think I hate ICU, prefer floors

    KarmaComesAround replied to MommyandRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad I saw this post. I have been contemplating a change from floor nursing, and one of the options I have considered has been putting in a transfer to ICU, but I have not been so sure about it....

  16. Saw this on Facebook. Felt the need to share.

    KarmaComesAround replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. That is why I did it seperately. What got to me was in the original post. I do wish we could explain to them we do not control the patient to staff ratios and other things that may be...

  19. Just like Pig-Pen from Charlie Brown

    KarmaComesAround posted a topic in General Nursing

    That is how I felt the other day. We had a "client" on our floor that was morbidly obese. We cleaned them, but no matter what, the smell lingered. When we moved them, it stirred it up. The...

  20. Interim vs. Gentiva

    KarmaComesAround replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in Home Health

    Correction: I meant to put too vague or so vague. Sorry, OCD-like tendencies at times. I felt the urge to correct this one. And, I did not want a spelling/grammar nazi reply regarding to vs too.

  21. Just like Pig-Pen from Charlie Brown

    KarmaComesAround replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...great responses. I did get the smell off me when I got home, and immediately washed my scrubs and all. They had other health issues going on that I did not want to get way into...but was on...

    KarmaComesAround replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

    Too funny! So, it was stuck on her as well! Yeah, we had the smell of this in our noses as well, but in the end, it is worth it to take care of them, keep them clean, and

  25. 12 hour shifts and weight/exercise.

    KarmaComesAround replied to NurseFrustrated's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am in the same boat as you. I have always been small, and I have wanted to gain some weight, but working these long, busy shifts, I do not have time to eat at work most days...I do good to get some...
