  1. New & Ready To Move On To Bigger & Better

    ebear replied to NewGrad07's topic in General Nursing

    beachbum3, Sounds like a great attitude! WE NEED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. A Generation of Wimps?

    ebear replied to EDNewbie's topic in Emergency

    HEY!!!!! I never said that I did the "natural childbirth" thing! Both my chaps were almost 10lb and my pre-pregancy wt. was 107. Sometimes there's just "no room at the Inn"! If that makes me a wuss...

  3. A Generation of Wimps?

    ebear replied to EDNewbie's topic in Emergency

  4. super powers...

    ebear replied to registerednut1221's topic in General Nursing

    I would like the power to have a "DELETE" button to press and apply it to whatever situation/person needs it!

  5. Nurses not responding fast enough-VENT

    ebear replied to pirap's topic in General Nursing

    I went to Chik-Fil-A yesterday. When I received my order, the person said "It's been my pleasure serving you". I immediately thought of KeyMaster's post! Especially since he looked so "Pleasured"....

  6. TLC removal,....what the highest,..

    ebear replied to momthenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Depends upon your hospital's policy, I guess. I don't see where a 20 degree elevation would cause a problem. People with COPD feel as though they cannot breathe anyway. Why cause even more anxiety?...

  7. Advice for new charge nurse??(Long post!)

    ebear replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Operating Room

    Good deal, Witchy! Sounds like things are working out for you. It's all so "normal!" Yes, it's usually the same people! I'm glad someone else observed the issue. Sometimes you just figure it out as...

  8. contaminating myself

    ebear replied to pamc217's topic in Operating Room

  9. Advice for new charge nurse??(Long post!)

    ebear replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Operating Room

    Witchy, Just checking in on you! How are things going? Yes, I've been in the boat for a LONG time! Most of the job, IMO, is "babysitting" and dealing with passive aggressive personalities. Keep a list...

  10. Mobile phones in theatre

    ebear replied to Scrubby's topic in Operating Room

    I am a former asst dir. of surgery. I required ALL cell phones and pagers be left with the "front desk" personnel. The nurses loved it but secretaries sure didn't. Too bad. I explained to the office...

  11. Nurses not responding fast enough-VENT

    ebear replied to pirap's topic in General Nursing

    sphnix, I am so sorry that you were treated (or not treated) in this manner! It sure does make a difference when you're the one on that stretcher (bed) doesn't it??! You are exactly right! It does...

  12. What ice storm? Get yourself to work!!

    ebear replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you mean! The place where I just left required the staff to come in, no matter ice covered impassable roads. If that were impossible, which was not accepted for any reason, then PTO could...

  13. TLC removal,....what the highest,..

    ebear replied to momthenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Please clarify your question.

  14. Certified Nurse Anesthesist

    ebear replied to alexleon13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The course curriculum for nurses is specific to each university. After course completion, you will then take a test (NCLEX) to practice as a Registered Nurse. The same NCLEX exam is taken no matter...

  15. Nurses not responding fast enough-VENT

    ebear replied to pirap's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, well, JBudd! Story of my life!!!

  16. Question regarding communicating with MD's

    ebear replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    This resident is really taking on a lot of liability here, Holly. Also, if something "backfires" on these verbal orders, he can deny he ever gave them. Your word against his. This practice should not...

  17. Cousin commited suicide..could use some prayers guys

    ebear replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    My prayers are with both of you, too. Sometimes there are just no words that can ease the pain of situations like these. I hope both of you can rest in the knowledge that they are now at peace. All my...

  20. Lawsuit?

    ebear replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    Med. -mal. cases are very complicated. Without significant damages, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that an attorney would accept any such insignificant case. May be significant in that an error was made, just...

  22. a little knowledge is dangerous

    ebear replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

  24. Surgeons who make me cry!!!

    ebear replied to pamc217's topic in Operating Room

    Hi, Issey! I guess I never thought about vet. medicine in those terms. I'm sure it can be just as stressful at times. There are workplace harassment laws that would still apply here. No one need...

  25. Surgeons who make me cry!!!

    ebear replied to pamc217's topic in Operating Room

    Satori, I see you're a vet. tech. That doesn't matter. Don't you put up with that--PLEASE!!! Is this typical of vet medicine??? (OR)
