  1. Why dont YOU wear a helmet??

    zooz replied to Crux1024's topic in General Nursing

    How I loathe the word "mandatory." Especially when mentioned in the same breath as "government" and/or "nationwide." Where, exactly, does the "noble quest" of trying to protect everyone from...

  2. Charting Temperature Sites

    zooz replied to zooz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yeah....not so much. I don't like leaving anything to assumption either, which is why I'm asking. But it (not writing down the site for oral temperature) was the way I was taught and the way the CNAs...

  3. Before you make fun of a patient, make sure they can't see you.

    zooz replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I happen to share that humble opinion. I, as implied previously, think it was an awful thing to do. But since when does every single thing warrant a lawsuit? It lowers the meaning of any lawsuits...

  4. Before you make fun of a patient, make sure they can't see you.

    zooz replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    That is despicable behavior. Making fun of a patient is unprofessional and inexcusable anytime, but especially while in the actual hospital setting. How would they feel if someone did that to

  5. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    zooz replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is one of my top grammar pet peeves! Plus, when the abbreviation is spelled "ect," my brain immediately translates it as electroconvulsive therapy. (It makes for one heck of a different...

  6. Help me stump the nun;)

    zooz replied to southernatheart's topic in General Nursing

    Tune in tonight at 8 p.m for "Stump the Nun" followed by "Who Wants to Be Saved from Eternal Damnation?" I know I'd watch. Do you think she knows what Alpha-mannosidosis is and how it affects the...

  7. Ultrascope

    zooz replied to dolphin223's topic in General Nursing

    I have a Clear Sound too! :) For the price, and as long as you don't mind taking blood pressures without a bell (I have a hearing problem, so the little extra clarity that a bell provides taking BPs...

  11. If I Murder A Co-worker, How To Hide The Body??

    zooz replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    walk6miles, serious question here. do you, by chance, own a woodchipper? if not, i just saw a commercial for a six-month, risk-free trial for a dr chipper ("recycles eyesores into attractive mulch!")...

  12. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    zooz replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Someone may have mentioned these before... What about "irregardless"? This one double negative word gets on my nerves so much and I hear it everywhere. :angryfire And, in written form, "Am" when...

  13. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    zooz replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Guilty as charged. :smackingf I know how it is supposed to be pronounced, but for some reason I just never say it that

  14. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    zooz replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't until I did some investigating that I found out it isn't really a rule of English so much as a preference for some people. ( ) It's always easier to teach a general rule than the whole...

  15. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    zooz replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just thought of one! Spelling "grammar" with an 'e.' Grammer. As in, "I'm fixin' to go learn me some grammer! Then go have a talkin' to wit my Gramma."

  16. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    zooz replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's a Latin grammar rule, not an English grammar rule. Anyone remember what Winston Churchill said after an editor "corrected" one of Churchill's sentences that ended in a preposition? "This is...

  20. What stethoscope do you have?

    zooz replied to zooz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Guess I'm first. Well, I'll be honest. I don't have a stethoscope - I have three. Yep, I know, it's bad (And I'm not even a nurse yet.) :uhoh21: Prestige Medical Clear Sound Littmann Classic SE II...

  21. What does your login nickname mean to you?

    zooz replied to NNNikki's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I like it! "Zooz" was my mom's nickname for me. Don't ask me why, I have no idea how she came up with it...

  22. Transferring Devices !

    zooz replied to buildingmyfaith57's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What scares me most is the person falling, whether just assisting a person or operating a lift. I've used a Hoyer and a sit-to-stand lift and I get nervous using both. With the Hoyer, I'm always...

  23. What are the best BLACK PENS

    zooz replied to dark10gable's topic in General Students

    Try the Uni-ball Jetstream RT (retractable), if you haven't already. I just did a little test for you with it (pressed down super hard, probably much harder than you actually press) and wrote for a...

  24. What are the best BLACK PENS

    zooz replied to dark10gable's topic in General Students

    OK...Staples will now love me forever. I had a little pen shopping spree based on everyone's suggestions. Here are my (revised) favorites: Zebra F-301 (ballpoint) BIC Pro+ (ballpoint) Uni-ball...

  25. Are croc shoes white enough??????????

    zooz replied to RNSacht's topic in General Nursing

    I ordered my professional Crocs in June and they came in both "white" and "pearl" back then. My Crocs are "white" and they are a very, very bright white. The "pearl" color is more of a grayish, dirty...
