  1. How does YOUR hospital waste its money?

    bigjim replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    bigjim replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would prefer they were sent back where they came from. Essentially all of the countries from which illegal aliens originate have universal health care. If it's so great, why don't they get it...

  4. The Trauma after the Trauma

    bigjim replied to ScrappyED's topic in General Nursing

    I once had a medical textbook that said, "You will be present when a lot of people are born, and when a lot of people die. Every one of these times is an honor". At first, I kind of dismissed it as...

  5. The Trauma after the Trauma

    bigjim replied to ScrappyED's topic in General Nursing

    You told that story beautifully. I'm still new in emergency medicine and losing a patient is not something I'm used to just yet. I just had an EMS shift where a woman went to bed with her husband...

  6. How does YOUR hospital waste its money?

    bigjim replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    What in the name of Joe Pesci does that have to do with anything? They work cheap. Good for them. You know what would be even better? If they worked back where they belong. And if every employer...

  7. How does YOUR hospital waste its money?

    bigjim replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    No, they are ILLEGAL ALIENS, and they are CRIMINAL INVADERS. They are also the final nail in the coffin for a lot of Western and Southwestern health care systems (how many hospitals and ERs have...

  9. i sign your paycheck !!

  10. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    bigjim replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

  11. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    bigjim replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let these Negative Nancys get you down. If you don't want to wear a bra, don't wear one. It's your body!!! Freedom!!!! Sisterhood!!!! Also, you should jump up and down as much as

  14. Have you helped/saved anyone while off duty?

    bigjim replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

    Many Good Samaritan laws have less protection for licensed personnel. To quote my old Karate teacher (although he was talking about defending yourself) "We do what we have to do, but we don't...

  15. ER Karaoke

    bigjim posted a topic in Emergency

    I just found this guy's blog. I have no connection to the blog whatsoever, just thought it was funny. The guy can't really sing very well, but the songs are very appropriate to the ER environment....

    Reading back through everything I now realize you all weren't commenting on my singing at all (which is good because I haven't done any), but were actually giving credit to the actual author of the...

    bigjim replied to bigjim's topic in Emergency

    I'm glad everyone liked the site. One thing though, a few of you have commented on my singing voice-It's not me. I just came upon the site while out surfing around and I thought you guys would like...

  19. Wife with BSN with NO drive, what to do??

    bigjim replied to Tony1790's topic in General Nursing

    She is working WAY below her earning potential and complains that you don't have enough luxuries, which apparently you are expected to provide. Now, you're in school about to greatly increase your own...

    If you've ever pointed to the lable on the normal saline IV bag (NaCl) and told the drugseeking patient "I probably shouldn't give you this, the doctor almost never writes an order for it, but this...

  23. They taped the what to the WHAT!

    bigjim replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    bigjim replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing
