    Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    Spidey's mom replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos to you! I'm hoping in the next few years to focus on medical missions. I don't want to get old . . .but look forward to retiring from hospital nursing. I'm hoping that might push me towards...

    Obesity; The "Second Hand Smoke" of Modern American Society

    Spidey's mom replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. Just looking around my workplace, the rate of folks who are overweight is probably 80 %. And we all make a decent living, live in an area where access to outdoor exercise is...

    Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    Spidey's mom replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The example I gave was not my family. But all three of my siblings are meth users. All three have messed up their kids although a few of them have managed to rise above it all and in the end, make...

    Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    Spidey's mom replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    In "recovery" is good. Those who chose not to do so over and over again . . . well, there has to come a time to say "never" with people who will only hurt you. I'm involved with a family right now...

    Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    Spidey's mom replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, my admitted bias is against drug addicts. First day of nursing school, our instructor asked us to go home that afternoon and think about what our biases might be and then come back the...

    Yeah, Natural News is not a good resource for true medical information. Never heard of The Fiscal

    Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    Spidey's mom replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I am not Nurse Jackie and don't want to be so I agree with those initial assessment from nursing associations. She ripped the heart out of her family, she is selfish, and puts patients in danger. I...

    Obesity; The "Second Hand Smoke" of Modern American Society

    Spidey's mom replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    That's been the trend the last 8 or so years (think Michelle Obama). I was a school nurse during that time for 5 years. I sat in the cafeteria with a diabetic student and watched the kids toss most...

    Spidey's mom replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I loved working with the elementary aged kids. Teenager scare me. We keep a little glass bowl on top of the microwave for loose "silver" change. In the pantry are old coffee cans for those silly...

    The sloppy image of nurses today

    Spidey's mom replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That's interesting. Unless I get pretty contaminated, I don't shower at night. But I suffer from insomnia, so maybe I should start! I can't drive while NOT under the influence of at least one cup...

    The sloppy image of nurses today

    Spidey's mom replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When I used to work 12 hour shifts from 0245 to 1515, I would get up at 0115, start the coffee, jump in the shower, get out of the shower, go get the coffee, put my robe on, put my (minimal) makeup...

    3 Day Weekend

    Spidey's mom replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    School is closed here. But I'm working - hospice. I don't remember if I already wrote this somewhere but I had a voicemail from one of the teachers last week telling me her first aid box was just...

    1/16 What I learned this week: Siamese Twins be Pimpin'

    Spidey's mom replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I was at a birthday party last night where someone was discussing how swishing a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 30 minutes keep your teeth from getting cavities. She admitted it was...

    Spidey's mom replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I will admit to a tiny issue with people who show up to work in the medical field with direct patient care who have long flowing hair and gobs of mascara and eyeshadow and lip-liner and lipstick and...

    1/16 What I learned this week: Siamese Twins be Pimpin'

    Spidey's mom replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    1. I learned changing wound vac dressings on huge abdominal wounds goes better with two nurses. And most of the time, one nurse does it. 2. I learned I was right about floor nursing and those darn...

    Spidey's mom replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yeah . . . I'm not opposed to cartoon scrubs. I don't wear them myself but have no problem with other folks who like them. In the scheme of things that matter, no big deal. Good patient care is...

    Wow. The fact that you ask that question that way shows some serious lack of brain power. Maybe the nitrous is already wrecking havoc with your brain cells. As to your original statement, hair...

    Yep, that story has been around a bazillion years. And even made it into one of Echo Heron's books. I made sure I used proper anatomical terminology when raising my children. member, lady parts,...

    Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    Spidey's mom replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's what I thought! She was talking about a family member's treatment. Not HIPAA-related. I did actually see this before this thread started; just didn't recognize it from the comments and thanks...

    Spidey's mom replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    As hospice, I've drawn blood but haven't started an IV in years as well. Our hospital policy is 2 attempts, then go get the ER folks. (Small rural hospital). I'm hoping to hang around the ER or...

    1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    Spidey's mom replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Made a typo - it is 30 hours/week. When I first started at this hospital, it was 24 hours a week. I left for about 9 months (not baby-related) and came back and they'd changed the rules. Those who...
