    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    HEY! You gave me an idea. MIL thinks our house is haunted...(it is, but anyway...) I bet she'd never darken our door again if she saw a spectre. Now, what did I do with that white sheet with the...

  2. Is this even possible?

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and the nearest hotel's about 15 miles away. If it gets too bad, I'll go to Mama and Daddy's house. Then MIL will cry and everyone will be mad, sigh.....I can not

    Leslie, you're right, as usual. This just brings it to a head. He's immature and spoiled, and I'm not up to dealing with it right now. Normally, I would shake it off and just go, but I'll not have it...

    Thanks, guys. I HAVE told him. His response was that he has not seen her sine vacation, which he has not, about a month and a half. No dice, she calls every day, will NOT shut up, to the point that...

  7. Doctors and Nurses need to band together against out of touch regulatory overkill

    AngelfireRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a teacher. I was a full-time school nurse for a couple of years, and I can tell you that THAT program is baloney! I know of one woman who would bring her wheelchair-bound, spina...

  8. What's the dumbest thing you ever got called on the carpet for?

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just curious to see what cockamamie things the rest of y'all have to put up with. I used to work in a locked psych facility, and there was a rule in place that stated the number of call ins you could...

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, this happened to me today. I work occupational while I finish school, and we are closing the plant I work at. We have this little thing going that we like to call the "box project"....

    AngelfireRN replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Not discounting your sister's pain, but did she seek treatment at a primary or specialty practice, in addition to the ER? I'm sorry, but if she did not, only coming to the ER, with no clear clinical...

    AngelfireRN replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, if they could just cut the bull and say, "Hey, I'm here for my fix.", I'd feel differently. I can just so do without the floor show that always seems to

    AngelfireRN replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Ooooh, Michigan, be very careful about saying you can't STAND drug seekers. I said that on here one time, and it got turned around that I said I HATED drug seekers. I got flamed so bad for that, I...

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

    Maybe some dingaling slant because they had a "bright idea"? You know, in cartoons, when a character has one, the light bulb comes on over their head. I don't remember it being red, though............

    AngelfireRN replied to verper's topic in General Nursing

    Before I left the bedside, (which was good, because I might have committed a mortal crime had I not) I got to the point that I just started dishing it back to them. Whatever they did and however they...

    Nope, good old North Alabama here, and yes, I talk that way in front of patients. One of my preceptors commented on it after a patient said "That there young'un is the only one here that ain't all...
