    Nurse Ratched replied to cherokeesummer's topic in General Students

    I also know I break out more when I'm not getting enough water. Are you drinking any? Probably not if you feel to busy to pee

    Night shift RN giving sleep aids w/o order..

    Nurse Ratched replied to HillaryC's topic in General Nursing

    If this nurse's attitude is typical of the other nurses on that unit, methinks I would be finding someplace else to work... If it's just her, a quiet talk with your NM is in order, with the knowledge...

    Nurse Ratched replied to jbeck817's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do you think it's just this unit, or this specialty, or this career? Seemed like everybody in my class wanted to do L&D. The reality didn't match up to the myth for a lot of them. Are there...

    Nurse Ratched replied to SoldierMedic's topic in General Nursing

    Lat year I got mine at the end of September. I'm usually the first in line lol. It was SO horrible last year in the clinic. I *still* got a mild case of it (based on sx, not a confirmed test) but...

    Can I take Vicodin and work???

    Nurse Ratched replied to danvet's topic in General Nursing

    I would be inclined to ask the risk management people what they think, but I'm a pot stirrer

    Can I take Vicodin and work???

    Nurse Ratched replied to danvet's topic in General Nursing

    I think the key words in your original post are that you injured your knee AT WORK. Is employee health aware of this? Is this a potential worker's comp issue? Did you file an incident report? Seems...

    How about those terrorists targeting VA hospitals?

    Nurse Ratched replied to night owl's topic in Government, Military

    Plus, those of us who have taken care of elderly vets know: I'll put one of our tough-as-nails fellas up against the best those terrorists have got - Al Queda doesn't know who they're messing with!

    Eateries Push for Obesity Suit Protection

    Nurse Ratched replied to dietersmanifesto's topic in General Nursing

    I think the objection is to the hit-and-run style of your posts - let's hear *your* thoughts. Some ideas on how to alleviate the situation might be helpful, rather than a constant barrage on the...

    Eateries Push for Obesity Suit Protection

    Nurse Ratched replied to dietersmanifesto's topic in General Nursing

    I can see suing tobacco companies by people who are old enough to have started smoking before we knew it was bad for you (and those people are nearly all dead now, I should think!) I also think the...

    Would you want your children to go into nursing?

    Nurse Ratched replied to 2rntish's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have kids, but if I did I'd want them to know how to handle their cranky mother in her demented years . Seriously, nursing is still a profession I would recommend, with caveats based on the...

    How to be a new grad office nurse?

    Nurse Ratched replied to prairiegirl's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic
