  1. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

  2. Professional in scrubs?

    EarthAngel replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    When I was in nursing school, I couldnt wait until the day I could wear scrubs. To me, that was the identification of the nursing feild, whether it be a CNA, LVN or RN. In the facility I work in, our...

  3. Nurses who smoke

    EarthAngel replied to Fivestar22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    "Do you think it is positive for a nurse to smoke, and then educate her patients about not smoking? Especially infront of a lung cancer pt??? " This made me think of when we were in nursing school and...

  4. Can nurses in the US really work a straight 24 hour shift??

    EarthAngel replied to care bear's topic in General Nursing

    Staffing isnt the responsibility of the nurses. When relief doenst show up, the DON is contacted and its his responibility to find relief. If he fails to do so, HE often comes in, or the ADON, since...

  5. Can nurses in the US really work a straight 24 hour shift??

    EarthAngel replied to care bear's topic in General Nursing

    I work in LTC-an Alzheimer's center at that- if my relief doesnt show up, the appropriate phone calls are made and the keys are left with a nurse on another unit. We are human, and if adequate rest...

  6. Mamma's Boys (vent)

    EarthAngel replied to Loribabble's topic in General Nursing

    *Shudder* Thats...just.. sick.. I cant even begin to imagine the years of mental abuse he must have gone through to reach the conclusion as an adult that this was anywhere NEAR "ok because shes a...

  7. Federalize Nursing Licenses! Who's with me?

    EarthAngel replied to mobileLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree! I plan on moving back North when I finish school, and I am NOT looking forward to having to shell out hundreds of dollars for my license! What if I change my mind and try another...

  8. What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    EarthAngel replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in the LVN program, I witnessed two students cheating during our practical labs (when we practice on dummys in a classroom rigged to look like a hospital floor) Instead of making beds and...

  9. Bathing a 7 y/o

    EarthAngel replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    Eh.. as far as Im concerned, every other day is fine, but "top and tailing" done morning and before bed time. (washing faces, hands and in the summer barefeet etc) In my experiences, any time Ive met...

  10. Why the high pay in Texas?

    EarthAngel replied to Salus's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Really?! Where?! Ive been looking high and low for something that paid a decent rate so I could get my bills paid without help of *two* roommates!! If pay *is* higher, its because, as mentioned,...

  11. Woman refuses CS, charged with murder

    EarthAngel replied to crankyasanoldma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didnt see anywhere in the article that the woman who lost one twin and was going to be charged with murder was metally ill or a drug

  12. Woman refuses CS, charged with murder

    EarthAngel replied to crankyasanoldma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It sounds to me like a doctor got mad because his God-sent medical opinion wasnt heeded and now hes trying to prove his

  13. Can't take anymore

    EarthAngel replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Dont forget, crying is our #1 primitive source of tension and stress relief! After the stress of being born, we bawl our eyes out! Go ahead and cry.. youll feel better

  14. Can't take anymore

    EarthAngel replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I know the feeling. In August 2002, I started the LVN program, graduated 2003. 2 weeks later, started the Fall semester 2003 to work on prerequisites for the "LVN to RN Bridge" program offered at my...

  15. Loss

    EarthAngel replied to L&D_RN_OH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "So many people do this.." are you referring to having children *period*? I ask because, this patient was IN the hospital and STILL died.. It would appear to me that, if youre going to go, nothing...

  17. Chronic Tardiness

    EarthAngel replied to Tweety's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am not yet working as a nurse, I graduate August 2003 from an LVN program and am looking forward to joining the forces. I didnt say it was an excuse, it was just a curiousity.

    Over the years I have lived extensively overseas. Different cultures ahve different views on timeliness VS. tardiness. I wonder, how many of the chronically late nurses are ones from these types of...
