  1. "Caring" what does it mean to you?

    Gromit replied to soozeeq246's topic in General Nursing

    Cant argue with

  2. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    Gromit replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    But still, they are calculated risks, and neither of them has (or is likely to) the level of education you had to go through. Considder this, however: By virtue of what you willingly expose yourself...

  3. Gossiping CNA

    Gromit replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    No way would I put up with such a slanderous comment -were it made at myself, I'd tell management that she would either be GONE by my next shift, or I'd be back with a lawyer as regards a hostile...

  4. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    Gromit replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    Christ I'd actually feel sorry for someone stupid enough to hit me. There is no room for violence of ANY kind in the work place. Lets be adults. That kind of crap should have been left back in...

  5. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    Gromit replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    hehehe. Hell, I'd bring in my own mattres if I thought I could get away with it. But the pillows are always a good idea. Since many of our patients have been in the hospital for extended amounts of...

    Gromit replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh the portacrapper. Is there ANYTHING it CAN'T

  7. What do you do when a teacher lies?

    Gromit replied to SaraLee's topic in General Nursing

    Lord I hate emotional moments! It MUST be a female thing! I really don't feel bad seeing how late some of you are changing careers (into nursing) -I just felt so OLD in class -being in my late...

  8. Please share something GOOD that happened at work!

    Gromit replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    Had a young girl (early twenties) who was an incomplete quad (gross motor movements in upper extrem. -though with a LOT of effort and time, she gained enough to control a marker well enough to write a...

  9. "Caring" what does it mean to you?

    Gromit replied to soozeeq246's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto THAT completely! If I cannot be there when they die, I try to make sure SOMEONE is -be it a tech or whatever) -nobody should have to die alone. As ours are all hardwired monitored, you...

  10. Pt dies on BSC today

    Gromit replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I wouldn't say that was horrible at all -for her. She sounds like she was really upbeat and did not suffer, and really, she didn't die alone (for me, this is a big thing. I always do my...

  11. Pt dies on BSC today

    Gromit replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, thats wierd. My first code as a paramedic (ugh, way back when) was a commode-code too. We got to the condo -the wife had called because hubby had made a noise in the john, and (she thought)...

  12. What do you do when a teacher lies?

    Gromit replied to SaraLee's topic in General Nursing

    Thats pretty much the way ours was (it was very very difficult -nearly impossible- to drop one, and take that part again 'later'., though it WAS possible to do). It likely depends on the state as to...

  13. Nursing school didn't prepare me for reality

    Gromit replied to jjjoy's topic in General Nursing

    No school is going to REALLY prepare you for the real world -well, the only chance one really could would be a return to the days when hospitals taught nursing from the ground up -kind of like having...

  16. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    Gromit replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    If they DO have a uh, policy of instructing, such info should be available upon request (and your lawyer could easily get that). I'd be impressed if they are instructed,

  17. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    Gromit replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't know. I sincerely doubt they kavacide them like they are supposed to. When I do a bath, or take a room apart (after discharge) I will pull the linen and kavacide the pillows, mattress,...

    Gromit replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

  19. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    Gromit replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    Easy to say "if you do not like it, get out" but if thats REALLY the attitude you portray, then nothing will EVER change in this profession, because if you suddenly don't like it, LEAVE. Such advice...

  20. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    Gromit replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    I LIKE that!! Suggestion box... hehehehe. Yeah, had a diabetic grousing that we didn't have dietetic (sp) snacks in our pantry. The snacks we DO have in there are quite old -not even the nurses will...

  21. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    Gromit replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    Fluff a pillow? Fluff this! I've never fluffed a pillow... but I DO take the time to do proper trach care, wound care, drain care and management, turn 'em all every two hours and rotate their boots...

  22. BEST NYCLEX Prep courses

    Gromit replied to nurselala33's topic in General Nursing

    No problem. GET thee to Amazon, and get Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX RN. Read it from cover to cover, do the questions as they come up, and review your answers. Take the CD and don't...

  23. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    Gromit replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    The poor staffing, and hospitals offering incentives to hire on (sign on bonuses being the usual) and the very fact that a facility will pay higher than wage scale to hire an agency nurse -all of...

  24. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    Gromit replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    What grinds my gut is that she had been doing this (the RN who relieved me in the morning had been fooled into feeding her for two days! -she said she didn't realize that the lady had been eating her...

  25. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    Gromit replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Suebe, where do you work now (state) ? I'm in Florida (as it says on my blurb) but in another few years, plan to leave -just not really sure where. I was born and raised in this state, but don't...
