  1. Bubble gum myth or truth?

    judy ann replied to proud2bme's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I was told that bread crusts gave one curly hair. I made the mistake of loving the heals. Boy, do I have curly hair. Hmmmmm. The boobs aren't too shabby either. Some of these others are really...

  2. Has anyone here worked the night shift as a single parent?

    judy ann replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Nursing

    One really big advantage to 12 hour shifts--you have 4 days off. You work less than 1/2 of the week. Once I worked 12's, I didn't want to go back to 8's. It worked for me (no kidlets) and many other...

  3. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    judy ann replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm confused. Is it okay to do something illegal so long as you don't get cought? Would it not be better to work to make the activity that you feel is harmless legal than to flaunt the law?...

  4. the nurse/porn connection...........

    judy ann replied to hapeewendy's topic in General Nursing

    What am I doing wrong? Aren't wrinkled baggy faded scrubs sexy?

  5. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    judy ann replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to use pot outside of work, okey. It's your lungs. But if I am your patient, kindly shower, shampoo, use good oral hygiene and wear clothing that was nowhere near the pot smoke. It gives...

  6. Check out those veins!

    judy ann replied to susanmary's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    WOW!!! VEINS!!! Yes, I love those bouncy little hoses. Just today I was skimming through a magazine, and spotted an absolutely gorgeous hunk. The first thing I admired were the veins in his left...

  7. Just Go Pee!

    judy ann replied to Huganurse's topic in General Nursing

    There are times when the task at hand can't (or won't) wait even 5 minutes. Say, a precipitous delivery. What do you say to the kid. "Hey, wait a minute, I need to potty"? Doesn't work. Say, you...

  8. What is your favorite part of being a nurse?

    judy ann replied to proud2bme's topic in General Nursing

    What do I like best? My favorite specialty is labor and delivery, and the best part is when the miracle of birth occurs. I always feel it a special priviledge to be there and I feel that there is a...

  9. The Patient you will NEVER forget...

    judy ann replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I shall never forget the mom in labor with her fifth baby. I was a student and had the opportunity to stay at the bedside. She began to talk about her first baby, a baby she had placed for adoption....

  10. pillow therapy

    judy ann replied to thisnurse's topic in General Nursing

    In Tuesday's Paper, Dear Abby had a letter from a lady who suggested that family keep a notebook with them so that they could keep track of who told them what, and when, what condition the patient and...

  11. lack of support among nurses?!

    judy ann replied to victoreia's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses not only eat their young, but each other. I have said I would love to return to the nursing that I knew 10-15-20 Years ago when nurses respected each other. Sure we stood up and gave The...

  12. Funny things patients say !

    judy ann replied to TAM's topic in Nursing Humor

    The firemen brought the 15 year old girl into the ER writhing in pain and clutching her abdomen. The parents were right behind them. The ER doc evaluated her and told the parents that she would be...

  13. Order for EFM (!)

    judy ann replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    You might also touch base with risk management in your hospital. A 20 minute strip on adm and at regular intervals (that varies with the facility) is the standard and both you and the doc might very...

  14. For those that have left bedside nursing.

    judy ann replied to PhantomRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 42 years, and will always be a nurse. I am not practicing today, because of a personality conflict in 1993. I was working L&D, and the nurse manager and I did not get...
