    AngelfireRN replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think I may sue....for a new keyboard and monitor, since mine is probably fried since I just snorted Mountain Dew all over it. And also for my impending sinus surgery, since I'm pretty sure there's...

    Isn't it, though. And Sharrie was exactly on target about the attempt to understand what the fascination is for non-nurses with this site. Thank you to her for putting that into words for me. I...

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

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes that's all you can do. And sometimes it's STILL all your fault. I have documented refusal before, countless times, for surgery prep, for medications, for procedures, etc. Each and every...

    santhony, I have no illusion about it getting better when I am an NP. In fact, it'll probably only get worse. Oh,

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Amjowens- I think you may have misunderstood. I did say that it seemed that the vast majority of the CRITICISM came from non-nurses, pre-nurses, and students. People who THINK they have a right to...

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's because there isn't one. You didn't miss it. It was never there to begin with. However, if folks want to read into this thread an attitude like that, even though I and several others have...

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, venting again. We took my GF to the hospital last Sunday, he had a fever and chills, and was disoriented. God knows how long he had been feeling bad, but this was as soon as he told us. My...

  17. Family just doesn't get it!!!!!!!

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the furor has died down, GF may get to come home next week, and turns out auntie misinterpreted what cousin said about the WBC's. Cousin said that they were on the low side of HIGH, not the low...

  18. Noticing a trend here

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect not, either. I think that's why the mods are so on the ball to lock any thread that even hints at asking for medical advice. That is a job I do not want, but they rock, in my

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Please refer to the above. I never said nor did I imtimate that I did not WANT laypersons on this site. I would not say that. I DID say that I had a problem with laypersons lambasting us for venting...

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not at all, honey. I have no problem whatsoever with the ones who use the site for what it was intended for. My issue was with those that don't. If you have not said anything, then this was not...

    One that DID happen to me-assigned an orientee (as a traveler, which was not supposed to happen) and she did not give her meds. Why? She was hanging out in another patient's room, that was not...
