    AngelfireRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Humor

    And, Ruby, thank you. This should have come with a spew warning, but thank you. You know, once you clear the Mountain Dew out of your sinuses, the pain is actually almost

    I'll second the "Jesus in a basket" comment. I'd have turned in my notice too. WHERE I would have turned it in is another matter

  5. thug got shot and crying

    AngelfireRN replied to C-DIFF PHIL RN's topic in Emergency

    It didn't take that long for me. And anyone that has been in the field longer than a couple years that says they aren't jaded is either lying or deluded (IMHO). After a while, it happens. Might not...

  6. Can I legally take adipex and work

    AngelfireRN replied to MississippiLPN09's topic in General Nursing

    I take it, and I dare anyone to tell me I can't, so long as I have a script. I've dropped over 20 pounds, and they would have an uprising on their hands if they tried to ban it where I work, about a...

  7. I finally did something right!!!! Or other nursing success stories

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    You know how you get to the point where you think that all you're going to have to do is walk in the building leading with your left instead of your right, and it's going to collapse? I was there. I...

  8. OK, Cultural question here, please forgive the stupidity.

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Which is why I asked before I went blindly in. I am very secure in my values, thank you, and did not ask to be judged. I asked for advice, as I have seen Muslim-based threads here, figured that at...

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yay, you! I love sticking, like to keep my practice up when I can, and those hard ones do make you proud.

  10. How often do your pts thank you?

    AngelfireRN replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, am in the South. I work for a clinic and do hospital rounds, so the bulk of explaining things for the docs will sometimes fall to me. I do not like surprises, and I make every effort not to...

    Thank you, oramar. I know i'm being silly, but for something to finally happen right was just such a shock. Thanks for replying. Have a good

  12. OK, Cultural question here, please forgive the stupidity.

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Thank you both for the insight, and the links to information. I had forgotten about the left hand thing. The gentleman that prompted this thread was very kind and gracious, he would shake my hand,...

  15. Most embarrassing thing that happened to you at work

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    This may have been done before, and I apologize if it has, but I need a good laugh. What have you seen, or what has happened to you personally, that you either knew HAD to be embarrassing or...

  16. Most embarrassing thing that happened to you at work

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, a few more from my long repertoire: Managed to clobber my knee on the edge of my stool (hit right where they hit you with the hammer to check reflexes), and promptly hit the floor, in front of my...

  17. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you are going to take on like your favorite whale just sank, and berate the entire medical staff at large because you don't agree with the tests we as providers think you need to make sure you're...

  18. Not My Fault, But Worried Anyway

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have an issue that I would like some advice on. I have been at my job for about 5 months now, and I absolutely love it. But there is an occurrence that has happened twice in the last 2 weeks that...

    OK, my favorite bunch of medical minds, a little something to brighten your day, and maybe give you a reason to get up tomorrow. You never know how or when some small thing you've done for some...

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, snow for us. And I'm at work. And my Daddy is fuming because I didn't a) stay home, or b) let DH drive me. Sheesh! Oh, and my poor guy is not doing well. He got sick and is back in. I...

  21. SIGH.....You know, it just never fails.

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    SWS, I am an Acute Care NP. In Alabama, we're all CRNPs, but the diff between me and a regular NP is I cannot see kiddos under 14 or do women's health. I have 2 Master's degrees, did a double major,...

  22. SIGH.....You know, it just never fails.

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Moogie, you must live up north! I don't know how y'all do it! I'm usually so hot-natured, and in Alabama, during summer, it gets up to 120 in the shade. You can imagine the misery there as well....

    Oh the cat also has a blanket, a heat lamp, the 120-lb black Lab who is her best buddy, and a nice carport to sleep in. We let the door down in cold weather. The babies curl up under the lamp,...

  24. I'm Sorry, But I'm Thankful, part 2

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    To the one who was on the brink: Dear Patient: I'm sorry you were so sick. I'm sorry we rolled and tumbled you like so many sacks of potatoes, trying to help you. I'm sorry you were pummelled,...

    No, no, I work in a cardiology clinic. I make rounds at the hospital. I do have background in ER and ICU, it has just been a while since I was there. Both of these instances, I was just there when...
