    Completely confused about filling Foley balloon

    FireStarterRN replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do that if I were you. She might be the type of instructor that will make your life a living hell if you correct her. I had an instructor that also said not to inflate the balloons...

    MDs Growing Pessimistic

    FireStarterRN replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    The physicians I see work long, hard hours. Unless they come from wealthy families they come out of med school with enormous debt. Not only that, the whole process of becoming a medical doctor, from...

    Bathroom hygiene -you gotta be kidding me!!

    FireStarterRN replied to Flare's topic in School

    My oldest son had trouble adjusting to using the toilet at school up until second grade. He was extremely shy and would hold it in, then have an occassion BM accident. He was my first child so it was...

    MDs Growing Pessimistic

    FireStarterRN replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not surprised. Doctors and Nurses are pretty much on the same page in these attitudes. In fact, I think our common enemy of regulatory overkill and documentation demands have done a lot to bridge...

    Death of Jail Inmate, Big Settlement

    FireStarterRN replied to Vito Andolini's topic in Correctional

    I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    FireStarterRN replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, there haven't been too many posts here critisising the slightly off color remarks. It's been a fun thread, and Tweety was very lighthearted when he said it's time to put the brakes on the...

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

    You need to go after the inappropriate behavior, not the person's job. If a person loses their job as a byproduct of you strongly pursuing their bad conduct, then so be it, that's a natural...

    Single Moms-How do you do it?

    FireStarterRN replied to nkugrad1's topic in General Nursing

    I've known some women who swallowed their pride and went on public assistance in order to go to nursing school. Otherwise their children would have suffered too much. I would advise looking into

    You know, my breasts haven't changed over the years and after breastfeeding about 10+ years total with all my kids. They haven't gotten saggier at all, they look pretty

    Do you raid the patient fridge?

    FireStarterRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Time to 'fess up ladies and gents. Who here raids the patient fridge, and if so, what is your fav? Are you guilty of jello diversion? Or, is cookie addiction your weakness? Do you limit yourself to...

    FireStarterRN replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I was told, btw, that handwashing makes the bras last longer. I just love my 24 hour bras. My boobs really can feel floppy without a quality bra. I can't imagine a DD size, that must be terribly...

    FireStarterRN replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite bra, btw, is the 24 hour bra, 34 B. That is a VERY comfortable bra. I recommend that bra for comfort and durability. Always handwash bras, and never, never put them in the

    questions to telemetry nurses

    FireStarterRN replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't be afraid of tele, it's not as if patients are coding right and left. They should be fairly stable, otherwise they'd be in the ICU. Since they're on a monitor, you have an extra set of...
