   Fervous replied to st4304's topic in General Nursing

   I work the evening shift, just when the "lab coats" are leaving. We're staffed two RN's for 19 pts, two of which are vents. I'm the senior RN with 3 yrs exp. My help has only been an RN for 9mos. All they say is "we tried" "just hang in there it wil...

   Fervous replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

   WOW!!! What a thread. I had to skip some of it. We got a keychain /w logo, given out during a desert buffet of those tasty little fancy mini cakes. Which was for all hospital employees. The NM of our floor sent us all a little thank you note via e-m...

   Fervous replied to night owl's topic in General Nursing

   In my second year of nursing school, I was doing my maternity rotation. I got to the hospital early and was asked if I wanted to watch a c-section of twins. I jumped at the chance. Only I didn't make quite make it. right as the Dr. started to make hi...

6. Do you watch Medical shows?

   Fervous replied to old-master's topic in General Nursing

   I love ER and Third Watch. Also enjoy watching MASH. I've been hooked on medical shows since I was little. I was lucky enough to be raised in a house full of medical/trauma junkies. Now, I sit and laugh at all the little errors. The scary thing is th...

   Fervous replied to micro's topic in General Nursing

   All so true... But what do you do if you can't open the window? I don't like the bathroom door thing, too eerie. As for seeing things... I work in a Catholic hospital that used to run by nuns. Some still live on the premises. Anyway, there's one that...

9. Would You Pray if your Patient asked?

   Fervous replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

   I would gladly kneel down or sit on the bed beside the pt and say a little prayer. I've done it numerous times, even with pt's that haven't asked ( because they couldn't.) One pt was on the vent and all the Dr.'s said that he would never come off. T...

10. Just Go Pee!

    Fervous replied to Huganurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard enough to go once during your shift. But I always make time. My problem is that there is this little bundle of joy in my belly that likes to use my bladder as a jumping ball. I usually end up going to the bathroom 4-5 a shift. It's hard to ...
