    Thanks, all :) Great site,

  2. New here, just had a question...

    Cobweb replied to Steph L 03's topic in General Nursing

    Well then, maybe I should tell you about the day I learned I really WAS a nurse. I'll make a long story short and say there was a terrible wreck on the interstate involving a semi, a couple cars, and...

  3. New here, just had a question...

    Cobweb replied to Steph L 03's topic in General Nursing

    As a graduate nurse, I applied to a nursing home and was assigned, of all things, to a pediatric vent ward. If I had known then just how much I didn't know I would have run for the hills. Anyway, the...

  4. Liquid Gold

    Cobweb replied to Cmariehart's topic in General Nursing

    Turn her on her side and go in from the back side :) You may need an extra pair of hands to help, but it can be done that way with much less pain to the poor contractured person. Congrats on that...

  5. Do you enjoy TV surgical/medical shows?

    Cobweb replied to MSJ2007's topic in General Nursing

    I think the last medical show I watched was MASH

  6. Customer service....

    Cobweb posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in a rich peoples' nursing home, after working with mostly poor and blue-collar folks all my life. It's been an entertaining change for me! Anyway, the CEO came down from the ivory tower last...

  7. At home schools

    Cobweb replied to sacredwoman's topic in General Nursing

    As a single mom with 2 kids, who is thinking of re-entering the work force by improving your education, you can get tons of aid to go to school. The college I was at had 2 preschools right on campus,...

  8. Jobs for disabled nurses

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, I hate phones too! I'm 46--I've outlived my prognosis over 3 years so far, and my doctor keeps saying, "Are you still working!?!" I carefully don't mention that to my employer ;p I can extend...

  9. To work or not to work while in nursing school?

    Cobweb replied to momma&nurse2B's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it or not, being a mom teaches you a lot of nursing skills you will be able to apply right away :) If you have cleaned diarrhea and vomit, waited at the doctors with a screaming baby with the...

  10. Jobs for disabled nurses

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want any kind of supervisory position; I really suck at it. I'm best at floor nursing but that may not be an option for much longer; however, some kind of patient advocate deal would be right...

  11. One month Notice?????

    Cobweb replied to mim-o's topic in General Nursing

    I work in an "at will" state, which means they can fire me in a New York minute and I can quit the same way--no notice required. I give 2 weeks notice minimum though, and more if I know ahead of...

  12. What is your daily routine?

    Cobweb replied to SoontobeAdrienneRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was a VA hospital nurse most of my career, so I find my new routine pretty amusing;) I work night shift on the rehab unit in a rich people's nursing home. It's not unlike the Marriott hotel. I...

  13. No room for errors?

    Cobweb replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    We had a couple of new girls on our ward and us old warhorses were telling war stories...topic turned to patient deaths and I said, "Oh yeah, I'm a nurse, I've killed lots of people." You never saw...
