i did a rotation on larch D at ancora 2 years ago..interesting place.

lol about there being no large gloves..or if there is a box it was opened about 10 years ago. i hide things on the top shelves of the cabinets in the med room way in the back where only i can reach. i get size 24 angios from peds and hide them on the unit for hard stick patients that the doctors will not put a line in on. you know you are a male nurse when if you want some of the females food in the break room you just remind them how much fat is in what they are eating..i just told a nurse who brought in dunkin donuts this morning that each donut contains 18 grams of fat. Guess who ended up with the donut? those fench crullers are soo good. lol..i am evil

many relationships and marriages do start at work, espacially working full time with the same people day after day, warm feelings and friendships can and will arise.

i like to tickle a few of them as well while in the med room while they are at the pyxis,,it makes going to work fun,,they love the attention.

i like giving the girls on nightshift back massages, they love it. and i get a nice massage during chart checks from them as well.

tonight i am posting from work , i have 5-6 patients and 2 aids for 25 patients.

sounds exactly like my floor, can have up to 8 pts, combo of ortho and neuro, and the neuro are all on telemetry, no unit clerk, understaffed, have to pick up extra patients at 11p because they send a nurse home , then a few minutes later the ER dumps off all their patients they have been holding for hours, not rapid admited,,,even though they have been in the ER since 3pm....all out of supplies,,no batteries for remote tele box,,,every patient is full assist, confused stroke patients, orhto patients in pain uncomfortable, sundowners falling out of bed

I had a female pt refuse my care....she was in the hospital for high BP..she said if i was her nurse her BP would go skyhigh and she would not be discharged in the morning..lol .. hey at least she gave some medical rationale

I work night shift on ortho/stroke unit and i frequently get crap reports form the ER, they send up patients with hip fx without a foley or any pain meds ordered, send up change in mental status patients R/O TIA/stroke not on any stroke orders or even worse they send the patient to us with + cardiac enzymes, or they send up a patient that has orders to go to a telemetry unit with dysrhythmia protocol(one time they were sending up a patient to our floor that coded on the way that turned out to have orders to send to ICU in the first place...then when you ask the ER nurse what type of orders they have they say "im not reading that to you" sending up patients without name/wristband that is unresponsive,,they tell you the patient is AAOX3 when they are really demented AAOX0, they "dont know" if the patient has a foley or not. tell me the patient is in SR/ST then when i connect them to remote tele they are A-fib 130 or SVT. or they say the patient assessment is "benign" and when you get them they are lethargic, BP 230/110 severe wheeze rales, bradycardia, diarrhea, huge stage III decub the size of my hand,huge weaping midline abd incision from bowel resection 2 weeks earlier , incontinent of urine, demented,,they also forgot to tell me tha patient did not have any legs. just had to rant. ohh last but not least just leaving the patient in the room without telling a nurse secretary or aid of the patient arrival.

a guy stuck a paintbrush up his butt (here come the picasso jokes)

i know a doctor named Dr. Butt ..no joke a hospital in NJ

i was thinking the same thing,,and women seem to leave bits and pieces of toilet paper on the floor all the time, i have no idea what their problem is, some are big wads of balled up paper too, before i became a nurse i was a janitor throughout nursing school and have noticed the same thing for every bathroom.

there does not seem to big a big selection of prints for guys,,if i designed one there would be a racing stripe down the side,,coolmax material with vents in the armpit area ,double sticthed seams using kevlar(bulletproof) thread, two different types of cuts to make you look either more muscular,,,or less fat depending on your body type,,,some prints ie electric guitar, sports, fish, etc...i think there is enough men in healthcare to justify these companies to expand their lines.

i just ordered a set of dickies camo print online, the only downside is that it has one chest pocket because i am ussed to the two pocket dickies scrubs., the camo print seems pretty manly...almost clicked on the pink cupcake print one by accicent, that would not have been good.
