  1. My CROCS made me fall tonight..

    reesern63 replied to jodyangel's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've done that in stockings, sneakers, you name it. A klutz is a klutz is a

  2. WHAT DO NURSES DO? --help me respond to this question

    reesern63 replied to RiaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ria: Reread your post right before Greg's response. Now does it seem so harsh? Even you are acknowledging it was pretty much an exercise in futility. Don't feel bad. Your intentions were good....

  3. What about the new govt. guidelines about not reimbursing for mistakes

    reesern63 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't it a shame that we can't get our tax dollars back from the govt. when they screw

  4. Feel Good Campaigns by Hospitals

    reesern63 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's even worse when you go above and beyond so much and so often that it becomes the expectation from management, and they never say "thank you" at all. ETA: As far as I'm concerned, they can save...

  5. Feel Good Campaigns by Hospitals

    reesern63 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen exactly what sister--* described. There have been plenty of really good nurses who for some reason never got those little recognition cards. Who knows why? Telling them to work even harder...

  6. Less Applicants for Nursing Programs?

    reesern63 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    What happens at your shcool, however, is not representative of what the norm is for most programs. We have several people on this board who are instructors who can vouch for what others are saying....

  7. Nurses with relatives in the hospital....

    reesern63 replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    I'd reiterate what the others said. Be there to support your Mom. Don't go in with the "I'm a nurse" attitude. Let the nurses do their job. Try to think how you'd feel if you had someone sitting in...

  8. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    reesern63 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This was always my understanding of the correct use of "myriad": "The reasons nurses leave the profession are myriad." NOT "There are myriads of reasons for nurses leaving the

  9. Less Applicants for Nursing Programs?

    reesern63 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still recovering from the post claiming it's no big deal to have a bunch of students on your license, and that $55K sounds about right for that job. The only thing I chalk that up to is just not...

  10. Less Applicants for Nursing Programs?

    reesern63 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    $55K to have the responsibility of several students on your licensce is "not a bad deal"? Yeah, OK. Those instructors are probably working on lesson plans, correcting tests, etc. at home and over...

  11. My Pet-Peeve - Priming IV's

    reesern63 replied to Nurse_FF_EMT's topic in General Nursing

    Why not use a NSS 250ml bag as a "primary" bag; that way you have another line to take over if you can't get back there right away when the abx. is

  12. WHAT DO NURSES DO? --help me respond to this question

    reesern63 replied to RiaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your day off? I don't think so. Sorry, but you can write til the cows come home, it's not going to make a bit of difference. This is the chief of medicine and he doesn't get it? Really, you've got...

  13. Jehovah Witness RNs

    reesern63 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for adding a note of sanity to the discussion. I am bowing out now. Many of the posts (with the exception of this one, Sharon's and Woody's) flat out terrify me, personally and...

  14. Jehovah Witness RNs

    reesern63 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    Your comments offend me as a nurse and as a JW. Never have I been told I needed to "snitch" on pts. who were fellow Witnesses; in fact, that would be unethical and an abuse of my privileged knowledge...

  15. Jehovah Witness RNs

    reesern63 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    Is it any wonder the OP hasn't responded? Most of the replies have been so judgemental, and several sound like they come from people who have an ax to grind against Witnesses. I hope the OP is able...

  16. WHAT DO NURSES DO? --help me respond to this question

    reesern63 replied to RiaRN's topic in General Nursing

    You surprise me, Tom. I was sure your answer was going to be something along the line of "We do all their work so they can go

  17. boards need to regulate MA's

    reesern63 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Because nursing and medicine are two different professions. That's an inapt comparison. We're not objecting unskilled tasks. We are objecting to the MAs who venture into the realm of skilled nursing...

  18. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    reesern63 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! Now that was diplomatic: "My mother has suboptimal grammar." LOLOL! I think I'm going to be chuckling over that for the rest of the day. That was a very amusing choice of

  19. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    reesern63 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This just drives me up the wall. I mean, for heaven's sake, why not just write "and?" There's only a difference of one letter between the two--it's not like you're saving that much time by writing...

  20. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    reesern63 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It makes me think someone is talking about wisdom teeth gone

  21. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    reesern63 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I read this post and I immediately thought "This person has to be from PA." I looked up at your info and sure enough, your location is PA. I'd be willing to bet you're from western PA, for that...

  22. Please allow me some arrogance!

    reesern63 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!

  23. boards need to regulate MA's

    reesern63 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe if they should be licensed and have their own accountability. That way if they make a mistake, they can't just walk away from it and put it off on someone else's license. I won't let an MA work...

  24. hard time getting help

    reesern63 replied to nitewarrior's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah...unless you have a situation like I just did where I was nice and still subjected to a barrage of verbal abuse that I can't repeat because it would violate TOS. That's what being nice got

  25. WHAT DO NURSES DO? --help me respond to this question

    reesern63 replied to RiaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I hate to sound jaded, but this sounds exactly like the kind of thing a student would say. For those of us who have been in the trenches for decades, we know exactly what this sort of exercise...
