From my mother:Never say anything on the radio/recorded line (or write in the chart) that you wouldn't mind hearing on CNN someday"

I may or may not have written "Pt states hx of pancreatitits, thinks is having relapse" on an intake form, but I cannot confirm or deny any such occurrence.

TTJ-Transfer To Jesus RTDD-Refer To Dr Deere (as in John Deere) PSTO (pronounced "pesto") Pet Smarter Than Owner And who could forget Fartical for describing a pt who has just passed gas for the first time after surgery. Used in a sentence: "Is Mrs J...

I prefer an 18 in myself-I've had extremely bad phlebitis caused by fluids and thick meds pushed through too fast in a too small catheter-I could literally feel the liquids swirling as they came shooting out of the catheter, it was awful. If they can...

Thank you, John Edwards :argue: Seriously. Several of my friends have CP and we have those commercials that are like "if your child has CP after a long delivery or emergency c section, call 1800dewycheatemandhowe. Millions of dollars in settlements h...

You know what really chaps my hide? When people freak out about the druggies and then end up taking the druggies' sins out on the actual sick people. Can we please remember that not EVERYONE is a drug seeker and some people really do have pain that i...

Reminds me of the movie Office Space "Corportate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment...Corportate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment...Corportate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment...Corportate accounts payable, Nin...

I could swear I read somewhere that at 90% reading on the SaO2 that the oxygen carrying capacity or something similar is actually only at 60% and drops exponentially after that (as in 80s even worse etc) Anytime I see anything under 95 it makes me th...

Yay! good job

OMG, That happened to me! (not in nursing, but in retail) they "let me know" Christmas Eve, and my last scheduled day was "Boxing Day" (day after Christmas) at the RETURNS COUNTER!"What's that Ma'am? You say you bought that walmart-brand product here...

no problem!

Ok, I can't read anymore without sharing. One of our residents (I am transitioning from vet med to human med) in the equine (horse) clinic wrote the following on a inter-clinic memo: "Pt is CTD, O BSC, Refer to Dr Deere for TTJ" translation: "Patien...

I believe LCC does (well, I KNOW they used to, but I'm on the east side now) . Just google Lane Community College

I have personal experience with this hospital, the quality of the nursing staff that I encountered was EXCEEDINGLY excellent, and all said they were happy with their jobs (I have never worked there myself, only volunteered) It is Portland Adventist M...

Excellent advice! Anywhere near "Tri-Met" is a good plan (that is the Tri-county metro transit authority-there are light rail trains, trolleys (I think, but only in certain areas like downtown) and buses. If you would like to get together some weeken...

I don't have time to post now, but I'm originally from there (just moved like two days ago lol!) and I know they are always hiring, even new grads-you just have to find the right place (sometimes they don't advertise) PM me a reminder and I"ll do som...

I saw the exact same thing at costco! Except the poor child was an infant who had barely learned how to stand up-reached for dad (whose back was turned) and fell out head first. I ran over and attempted to render aid but the mother was busy yelling a...

The crappy part is, she probably only got in trouble because the patient thanked her supervisor for her good deed!

I just wanted to thank you for caring and INSISTING that the patient get pain relief.

I can attest to that-they're curved, and one side says "This side towards the enemy"

My mom's the same way. I figured one of my sibs that lives close to her had taken her out for mother's day a few years ago. So I call and leave a message on her cell, happy mother's day etc. Next day I try to call again-she finally answers the phone...

We have a prof here that says Metro-knee-dazzle instead of metronidazole.
