  2. "And it's all going to be your fault"

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    God, don't I know it. Had another one today...no insurance, stated that she could not take a med which we had samples of and she could've had for free. So, doc writes for another, the cheapest thing...

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    AngelfireRN replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    A sinking spell or attack of vapors means they fainted. A rising is a boil or a cyst. Dropsy is what older Southerners call CHF. I could think of HUNDREDS, but I don't want to scare you. It's a whole...

    RN/writer, I AM too young to remember, but I have every season of Lucy and Andy on DVD and I know exactly which episode you mean. That was part of what made it so sweet. Where I live, we DO talk...

  8. Disruptive families in acute care settings

    AngelfireRN replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with Bortaz. I swear, if one more NM had told me to let a family member's AH behavior slide, to the point of physical abuse towards the nursing staff, because they were "upset" or "grieving", I'd...

  9. Music to Round to

    AngelfireRN replied to ThePurpose's topic in General Nursing

    On my way to work, usually Lady Gaga, TI, Akon, or anything rap or metal. It's my survival. Heck, I'm ready for the interstate after that! On my way home, Jason Mraz, Taylor Swift, stuff to wind me...

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

    Firstly, you have no idea what I can or can not understand. That's fine. Second, it bothers me because I started this thread as a way to let others (and myself) blow off steam, and you turned it...

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

    Yep, she meant me, and I'm NOT worried about it. I have bigger fish to fry. I certainly don't need her pity. I really hate that she thinks that this thread is the most important thing in my life, as...

    Lord, God, don't come down where I live. You'd have a spasm, sure as the world. I have arthritis and a herniated disc in my back (yes, at 28), and I got a twinge as i was getting up from my stool...

  15. fibromyalgia

    AngelfireRN replied to lunden's topic in General Nursing

    I have people come to clinic every day thinking that they have it, and when we determine that it is likely arthritis, they get mad. I can't fathom WHY they'd want it. I'm a big skeptic, though, I'm...

  17. One Last Wish

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    OK, not to be macabre, but if, God forbid, you found out that you had a terminal illness, and you were given the opportunity to go anywhere or meet anyone, who, what, or where would it be? Mine, weird...

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'd do that too, if we did not already do it every year. Actually, this thread came about after I nearly bought it back last summer, and was talking about this with my mom, I said the same...

  22. Alternatives to Strangling

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is a spawn of the spanking alternative thread. I'm curious about what my buddies here would do in an on-going situation that involves my distant in-laws. First and foremost, let me say, I have...
