Thank you and Happy Holidays to you all as well, Allnurses staff.

That the more experienced people will run to the best side of the bed when transfering a heavy patient from a stretcher to a bed. It's how I tore my rotatore cuff.

I like your article. It mentions the issue I recently faced with an online nurse who had a pat answer to my situation, but she did not have the solution s;he thought she had. After I replied to her suggestions, she stopped giving me solutions.

Here, you dropped this scalpel.

I saved lots of money on this scalpel by going with Geico.

I saw the following post by Brooke Varner, RN on Facebook today. She wrote tyhe following- Tonight I went into work thinking I was working my usual nurses cart but to my surprise I wasn't on the schedule to work. I offered to work as a CNA because w...

Being negative only makes that person's day that more difficult.

I loved the one about the two year old being snuck into school for Show and Tell. It was hilarious!

The negattitude thing happens in any field and can happen on any job. A severe incident happened to me once, but I just kept quiet. I didn't answer the individual who was dishing out the verbal attack, and after a short time, she left that job and we...

Yeah, you get that very puzzled look, and thren you have to explain what the word meant, or they roll their eyes, and walk away.

I had uncontrolled severe pain a few years ago. I was even on two different narcotics that did not solve the problem. Then a neurologist ordered an antidepressent. That completely aleviated the pain, and I was so grateful. I had a pinched nerve.

I graduated from LPN school and Got my nursing license at age 55. I received a perfect attendance award, etc. I received a couple injuries during my clinical rotations, so I wanted to get the surgical repairs I needed in order to be in shape for my n...

POOR Pinchmesh. That must have been an awful experience..
