    i sign your paycheck !!

    GadgetRN71 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Never would say this but seeing as how a vast majority of my pts are either uninsured or beneficiaries of taxpayer generosity, it's doubtful they sign my paycheck. Much more likely that I'm paying for...

    Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    GadgetRN71 replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    They say to follow your intuition..if she got red flags from this guy, then she shouldn't make apologies to anyone. I think it's creepy too that he tried to get her phone number the sneaky way. Yes,...

    Thanks for this thread...forensic nursing is one of the areas I'm interested in later in my career. I'm starting an online BSN program next year and would like to continue my education after that. Not...

    Do you shower when you get off work???

    GadgetRN71 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    I've taken showers AT work when I've been scrubbed on a messy case. But, in general, I don't shower immediately after coming home from work. One could make the argument that our homes and the...

    Nurse tech advice??

    GadgetRN71 replied to mimimartina's topic in Operating Room

    I think part of the issue is that the OR is vastly different from the floors. It won't hurt you to have experience there, but it's not really going to help either. I'd keep looking to see if there are...

    Dating in the O.R???

    GadgetRN71 replied to galenanurse's topic in Operating Room

    Sounds harsh, but I'd be afraid to marry a surgeon. Not all of them cheat, but many of them do. I could tell you stories that would curl your hair, about surgeons getting caught in delicate situations...

    I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    GadgetRN71 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    There is makeup that doesn't rub off-which I like to use just because I hate when you take your mask off and there is makeup residue on it. The temp in the OR is kept in the lower range so it's not...

    GadgetRN71 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    They would have a heck of a time separating me from my makeup..I know how to apply it tastefully. I just need that little boost each day, KWIM?I've never seen anyone get in trouble for wearing...

    Like Crocs? Try these!

    GadgetRN71 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Love my new Crocs-I got the specialist model with the vents. They have better arch support than the other models, and are closed on top, so if you work in a wet environment you're OK. I give them a...

    GadgetRN71 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I have to say, all of the guy comments on here, even the humerous ones, have been remarkably restrained, considering the topic. I didn't find the comments sexist, per se. Most straight guys love...

    Never been anywhere else... help

    GadgetRN71 replied to kcorny's topic in Operating Room

    They won't just throw you into the mix when you start a new job..there will be orientation involved. Also, be honest at interviews about your strong points and weak areas. You should ask how long...

    Co Worker and snide comments

    GadgetRN71 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with those who say you must not let her keep doing this to you. :madface:The comments she is making constitute defamation and could really cause you harm in your personal and professional...

    GadgetRN71 replied to MichiganChris's topic in Operating Room

    Gotcha.. although, the days of OTJ training for techs are going away. I'm of the opinion that they need to make the requirements the same across the country for techs..they can get away with paying...

    I know many men don't see the need for breast reduction surgery, but really, it can be a great thing. Very painful to recover from but it can be no fun to have big breasts. My mom developed early and...

    I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    GadgetRN71 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you could always just say "But I am wearing a bra!" What is she going to do , peek into your shirt and check? In all seriousness, I think no matter what kind of bra you're wearing, you may not...

    I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    GadgetRN71 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    The "whale tail" is the part of a thong that comes up in the back, between the butt cheeks. OT slightly, but I would go without underpants if all that was available was thongs. I'm not a big fan of...

    GadgetRN71 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Well, yeah. They're unconscious for the surgery but when we interview them they're awake. When we bring them to the room they're awake too. I agree, the OP would seem to benefit from a bra. But, I...

    GadgetRN71 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Leslie, I'm going to disagree with you on the not moving around a lot! We circulators spend the majority of the day on our feet, running down hallways to get something the surgeon needs, running blood...

    GadgetRN71 replied to MichiganChris's topic in Operating Room

    Around here, they do not train STs on the job anymore. You have to go through a formal program and many places won't even look at you if you're not certified. To be certified, you have to pass an exam...

    GadgetRN71 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I knew a nurse that didn't wear bras..she was extremely small(I'm sure there are 12 year olds that have more up top) and she didn't feel the need to wear one. And before anyone thinks I'm a peeping...
