    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't killed it, I can assure you. Hey, I'm an Alabama girl, too, and my Daddy likes to tell me that the only time I open my mouth is to change feet. It happens. Don't sweat it. You've got...

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

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's great, but not the point of the thread. I'm glad you've had so many positive experiences. Some of us aren't that lucky. I don't think we are necessarily bitter, we're just telling it like it...

    AngelfireRN replied to monkeymedic's topic in General Nursing

    Spelling bloopers aside, I think (think, mind you) the the A's monkeymedic was referring to were the A-levels that people in the UK take after they finish regular school, which, unless I have taken...

  8. Reprimanded for cleaning up after myself!!!

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    OK, whoa, horse. What little I swept up would not have made a good handful. It was just in front of the shredder. No, it is not usual, this is a special project. I would not volunteer to sweep the...

  9. Reprimanded for cleaning up after myself!!!

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to all for the union insights. In Alabama, we don't have nursing unions, and I have never been in a union, so I did not know it was that big of a deal. Who'd have thunk (lol grammar) that the...

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I can see that. I just can not see how a teeny little pile of shredded paper is going to make or break him. He still has to mop, replace paper towels, clean the bathroom, empty the trash, AND...

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

    Yep, Leslie, I think it safe to say someone had a REALLY bad day at work. Seriously, though, I have really, truly wanted to say that so badly to a select few in my career that really steamed my...

  15. Things you'd LOVE to say to TPTB, and get away with it!

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OK, been thinking about this a while as well. Since the patient thread went so well, I thought I'd try this. FYI: TPTB = "The Powers That Be" 1) To the doctor who writes the insane orders, such as:...

  23. Noticing a trend here

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Forgive me....I'm kinda bored and when I get bored I dwell on things. I have been noticing a trend on the boards lately, and I don't like it. Part of what I love about this site is the fact that you...
