  2. Pay to park?

    agent66 replied to uamsrn's topic in General Nursing

    we pay $12.50 a shift to park, which quickly adds up. Slightly less for nightshift ($6) which used to be free, until they realized they could get us yet again. Even meters in front of hospital are...

  3. Male nurse crying!!!

    agent66 replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I find death itself ( of patients ) does not make me cry, maybe because they are just so sick or what ever. But, I am like a Hallmark card when talking to people who know they are so bloody sick,...

  4. new nurse going to night shift

    agent66 replied to megster's topic in First Year After Licensure

    it can be slower, but it can be alot busier as well. You have more patients and less people to support you as well, so the work is usually a little more independant. I personally love nights, have...

    agent66 replied to SweetLadyJ's topic in General Nursing

  7. shoes and uniform question

    agent66 replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Nursing Students

    our hospital just had a big reinforcement of the uniform policy as it was an issue with patients during accreditation. They do associate the uniform with being a nurse. Some of the girls are wearing...

    agent66 replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard many funny ones but "muffin" by a little old dolly was pretty funny. And a fellow who called it the dickie bird. You just smile and give them their meds and a glass of

  11. Whites or Colored scrubs?

    agent66 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    white is just so impractical. Would you wear it camping? Patients have often commented on how the bright colours are so cheerful, and they really like the fun prints. Plus it's easier for people...

    agent66 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    sadly, I got into nursing because I couldn't get into vet school. Oops, still at it almost 20 years later. If I ever leave nursing it would likely be to do something animal

    agent66 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    More of a grim reaper story than ghost, but we were doing rounds one night and in a four bed room one of the fellows was awake and he said who's the guy with you tonight in the black coat? Being a...

  16. Wondering how u decided where 2 work after nursing school.

    agent66 replied to ymr9860's topic in General Nursing

    I started out in Neurosurg right from school which was a big big eyeopener. Had no choice really, there were 90 girls in my orientation group at that time and we all sort of went to whereever...

  17. what do you all think about 12 hour shifts?

    agent66 replied to emmycRN's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, would never do 8hour shifts again. It seemed to me, I got off of work and ended up coming home to do more work? 12 hour shifts you come home and hopefully supper, homework is finished...

    agent66 replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing
