   perkines212 replied to netglow's topic in Emergency

   I tried to set myself up to see the humor in this clip. I was able to see the ironic portions of this recorded message but what I took away from it is what I have been pushing administration and my fellow co-workers is the importance of communication...

2. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

   perkines212 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

   Back in the bad old days we were moving more. Not flipping through 200 tv channels and cruising the world wide web. We had to open a door ourselves instead of having an electronic eye see movement and open it for us. Shoot I admit I use the elevat...

4. Are You Going to be a Mean Nurse?

   perkines212 replied to EyesForward's topic in General Students

   Just because you are cranky in the morning doesnt mean you will be at work. I am the same way when I wake...have been my whole life. My husband thinks I should just change... I think he should accept this is me and just not speak to me for 15 minut...

5. Had Lasik done!!

   perkines212 replied to stella123 rn's topic in General Nursing

   How exciting for you. I am glad you posted this. I have been interested in this procedure but I am a little nervous to follow through. Pretty much the anxiety stems from the idea of setting myself up for a mistake and having total vision loss. It...

   I am a CNA that works in a hospital as a PCT. I do not receive a report from the nurses. I get all of my info from paper. First I use the kardex for orders, code status, age, weight, admission date and the Dr(they all have their own way of doing ...

10. 7pm-7am shift???

    perkines212 replied to kellilou3's topic in General Nursing

    I had another co-worker tell me that nights was doing me good. I think because I look nicer. I did 7a-7p for 4 yrs and I would always have my cloths ready before I went to bed. I would wake up at the last minute ( love the snooze button ). Shower,...

    perkines212 replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Nursing

    This was actually my fault in the first place. I had been sent to er for a short bit. I would go back to my own floor with the next admission. I dropped pt off and took the stretcher back to er. I realized that my cigarettes were not in my pocke...
