  2. Different Cap Styles

    Audreyfay replied to justjenn's topic in General Nursing

    The cap I had when I graduated from nursing school had a gold stripe on it. When I graduated, they gave me a black stripe to put next to it. I remember a black stripe always meant RN, whether or not...

  4. Nrsg. Abbreviations ????

    Audreyfay replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    Hospitals usually have a list of approved abbreviations. I can almost guarantee you that all of those are not in the approved list. R with a circle around it usually means right. A with a circle would...

    Audreyfay replied to RN-PA's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! Not getting my size either! I wonder if anyone shops at the dollar

  6. $$$ For Births, Deaths, Weddings, Farewells of Co-workers

    Audreyfay replied to RN-PA's topic in General Nursing

    The unit I worked on years ago had a sunshine fund. They would use the money to buy gifts for the miscellaneous events that came up. Everyone put in $10/year. The fund was kept locked up in the...

  7. How many of you married doctors?

    Audreyfay replied to JHUnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I dated a psychologist for about 6 months. He was great! The only thing I noticed was that he certainly did not talk much, mostly listened. I always wondered what he was thinking about. In the end, I...

  10. nursing and s e x

    Audreyfay replied to lgreen's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Nakita Moon. I want to change clothes, get into me the person, and relax. The best thing is to lie next to my hubby and have him rub my feet with lotion, my back, and anything else. I...

  11. Dress Code

    Audreyfay replied to plantsower's topic in Telephone Triage

    Plantsower. Thanks for the compliment. Have to give the credit to my parents. My name was unique when I was a kid. Why couldn't I be a Mary or a Susan. Didn't meet any Audreys until I was almost an...

  12. The dreaded panty line.......

    Audreyfay replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    I wore white and never worried about it. When patients are sick and at your waist level, they most certainly don't look. Like I said. I never worried about it. Also, my tops weere always long...

  13. Dress Code

    Audreyfay replied to plantsower's topic in Telephone Triage

    It would be nice if the dress code were eased up. I work in a triage center in a clinic. We have to wear shoes with socks or hose. No sandals. Jeans can be worn on Fridays. We have to wear our name...

  14. Oncology RN with cancer

    Audreyfay replied to lgoins's topic in Oncology

    My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  15. Difference in Needles

    Audreyfay replied to fourbirds4me's topic in General Nursing

    A filter needle should always be used with a glass ampule when drawing up the solution, change needles, then administer the medication. I bet your facility has a policy regarding this? Would be an...

  16. salary

    Audreyfay replied to scribrn's topic in Telephone Triage

    Sorry.....I just couldn't resist. I get paid what a typical outpatient clinic nurse would get paid. So, if you are able to find the base pay in your area for an outpatient clinic nurse, I bet you...

  18. do grades determine how good of a nurse you will be?

    Audreyfay replied to 3kidsmomma's topic in General Students

    Sometimes a high grade means that nursing boards are easier, but it does not mean the person would necessarily be a better nurse. Sometimes a higher EQ (Emotional Quotient) means a lot more than...

  19. Buying a bathing suit

    Audreyfay replied to gwenith's topic in Nursing Humor

    Too funny. I can relate to this. Thnx for the laugh! :roll

  20. How has HIPPA affected your job?

    Audreyfay replied to eltrip's topic in Telephone Triage

    I think it is a lot of common sense. A lot of people are just freaking out. But, as far as I'm concerned, we've always done things that way, but the patient never knew we

  21. sleeping staff

    Audreyfay replied to night owl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When I worked in the OR, there was round the clock staffing, including noc shift. It was a well-known fact to those people who work noc shift that they would hustle and get their work done, pull all...

  22. Undecided whether to become a letter Carrier or R.N?

    Audreyfay replied to Lisa24's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked with doing diabetes education with many mailcarriers. I put them in the same unhappiness group as city bus drivers. The happiest occupation I ever saw in clients? I have seen several...

  23. Sewing your own scrubs

    Audreyfay replied to obeyacts2's topic in General Nursing

    I used to sew all mine. We could only use a certain "teal" fabric and a "spirit" print. I could have purchased them, but I enjoy wearing skirts and dresses. None of the pre-sewn ones would be long...

  24. autonomy

    Audreyfay replied to kmaryniak's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in the LosAngeles area for 6 months. Absolutely hated it. Then I moved the the SF Bay area. Health care and nursing were good there. I think the best area though, is in the midwest. It's not...

  25. Insulin syringe question

    Audreyfay replied to Pretzlgl's topic in General Nursing

    Holy Cats! Of all the crazy things! Let's think about this. If you were to give 8 units, we all use U100 insulin (100 units/cc). That means you would have to try to measure out 8/100 of a cc....
