  1. I've Had It! Nursing is NOT what it use to be!

    RNanne replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Passing thru, you are so right. I think that there is a profound loss of civility, manners, and personal responsiblility in this old world. My husband works as an engineer for the county. He...

  2. My Theory On Modern Nursing vs How It Used To Be

    RNanne replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I, too have experienced the tremendous changes in the nursing profession. I graduated in 1962. The difference is night and day. I don't think that any one answer is the problem or the solution....

  3. I've Had It! Nursing is NOT what it use to be!

    RNanne replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Washington state (not Seattle) and folks here are more or less rural and patients and families are not too bad. I came from Montana where civility still exists and that was great. But I do...

  4. I've Had It! Nursing is NOT what it use to be!

    RNanne replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, Lydia. We are just venting. There are many many facets of nursing and I am sure you will find a happy niche. I have just been around too long. You go

  5. I've Had It! Nursing is NOT what it use to be!

    RNanne replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the new nurses do not know what a glorious profession nursing was. Now it has become a nightmare. I am so glad that I got out. I love nursing, am a dang good experienced nurse, but it was time...

  6. Uniforms

    RNanne replied to nursedave's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know whether or not you were addressing me with the question of petites in the Cherokees. They sure do. I am only 5'2'' and they fit me very nicely. They are not cheap though. I am just...

  7. I've Had It! Nursing is NOT what it use to be!

    RNanne replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Remember when patients and the families respected nurses? Actually treated nurses civilly? Remember being part of a team? Remember when you worked at a hospital you were one of "theirs" and they...

  8. Uniforms

    RNanne replied to nursedave's topic in General Nursing

    I do like the Cherokee brand. I find that they hold up very well and with my body shape, the pants fit very nicely. I like the colors and they have tops and jackets that blend and match. Dickies do...

  9. Stupid med error

    RNanne replied to Nurse4God's topic in General Nursing

    This is just the enemy poking darts at you. We have all fallen short of perfection, you know. I have made a few med errors myself when overwhelmed and tired. Use this as a tool to grow. Forgive...

  10. Functional / Team Nursing

    RNanne replied to EMTPTORN's topic in General Nursing

    Emptorn It was here in the USA. I don't think that the scenario in the ER would be a nursing model. Maybe, but if it did it would be team nursing but not really. In a nursing model, the auxillary...

  11. Functional / Team Nursing

    RNanne replied to EMTPTORN's topic in General Nursing

    Emptorn Yes, on the ward would be about 20 to 30 patients and that is about what we handled. The personal care was incredible. The aides had from 5 to 6 patients apiece. And they were well...

  12. how do you keep a nursing cap on?

    RNanne replied to PowerPuffGirl's topic in General Nursing

    We used to use hair combs. Take a safety pin and pin it inside the front of the cap. Take a rubber band and wind it around the pin and wound through the teeth of the comb. The bottom of the comb...

  13. Functional / Team Nursing

    RNanne replied to EMTPTORN's topic in General Nursing

    I trained under the old functional nursing model. There was a charge nurse, a medicine nurse and a treatment nurse. And an army of nurse's aides. (CNA's) The personal care of the patient was...

  14. Older than dirt quiz

    RNanne replied to KaraLea's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yep, you got it right. He was probably one of the greatest baseball players of all times. He was a black man and he played before they let blacks play major league ball. They had black teams that...

  15. Older than dirt quiz

    RNanne replied to KaraLea's topic in Nursing Humor

    Well, I got 25 out of 25, and I guess that makes me older than dirt. But I long for the good old days, LOL. I am with Satchel Paige who said. "I wonder how old you would be, if you didn't know how...
