http://www.rncentral.com/nursing-library/careplans/100_really_useful_web_sites_for_nurses A long list of nursing web sites. Some good, some not...you decide.

My response would be, "So what labs do you want?"...

I can pee standing up.

Mostly minor care, occasionally urgent care, rarely emergent care...room

What color scrubs can I wear? Does this ER make nurses give enemas? Or a Fleets-to-go? Anything else is unimportant...

My favorite line from the movie "Clueless": Dan Hedaya as Cher's father Mel: "Hey you! Anything happens to my daughter, I've got a .45 and a shovel. I doubt anybody would miss you."

And the "nursing theory" classes I took for my BSN were very helpful too... they made me realize I could endure any form of torture and brainwashing...

You get to take the side of "A BSN is better than an ASN/ADN/Diploma/Regent's/Foreign trained/everyone else debate" That's always fun....

Hmmmm....another way to "P" off the floor....he hee hhee...just d/c the IV before sendin' 'em up and tell 'em it infiltrated...yea...that's what I'll do if they gripe about the placement...let 'em start their own IVs...heehehehhehheee...next time you...

OK. But apparently it's OK to gripe about ER nurses and not about med-surge?? Like I said before, some of it was in jest, some not...If I hit a nerve, perhaps I wasn't too far off the base...or maybe your retort was in haste and you didn't read what ...

Just goes to show you can't please all the nurses all of the time... But I'll take a chance and offer my "enlightening" reasons why the AC is sometimes the site of choice: 1. Easy to start when you're behind and up to you a** in patients who all thin...

I speak "Drunk"... It's a well known dialect that is often heard in ERs around the world and usually starts with a denial statement, such as "I schwear I ownleeeee had twoooooo beeeeeeerrrrrrssssss..." It's a very strange language in that it can inco...

And practice your defensive driving skills..

You're right, phlebitis should be warm and an infiltrate cold, but like everything in nursing - the patients don't know or follow the rules... If the site is cold compared to the surrounding tissues, and you don't get a blood return from the catheter...

It sucks for anything except kidney stones/renal colic.

You can never know too much pathophysiology, pharmacology, and pt. assessment.

When I'm good, I'm really good... and when I'm bad... I'm still pretty good...

This is from the site http://nsucomems.tripod.com/what_is_a_trauma_center.htm It's about Florida Trauma Centers, but since I live in Florida, that's what you get for free... What is a Trauma Center? A trauma center, as trauma surgeons are fond of say...

Also, it's tax deductible.

I prefer naked strangers over naked friends...

I'd rather go to work without my underwear than without my PDA...

Here's one, and I'm sure there are others... December 2003 Legal Case Study Inferior Gluteal Neuropathy From Post-Operative Injection in Buttock - Severe Pain in Leg - $3.5 Million Pennsylvania Verdict. Elnor Whitehead sought care from Richard B. Ka...

The pt. has to prove that the injury was caused by the injection given by the nurse, just like you can't accuse someone of murder and demand they show proof they didn't do it. The burden of proof is on the one who makes the assertion. And no, the MD ...

June is usually the "rainy" season, especially in the 'glades. You'll find that you can almost set your watch by the afternoon storms that build up and move east to the populated areas. I would opt for a morning visit, or late afternoon / sunset afte...

Does it pay better if you are?? I'm all for pay incentives....
