  1. Things you'd LOVE to tell the doc and get away with it....

    Scrubby replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    I have a funny story on what I did tell the doc and got away with a few days ago... We have a radio in my operating room. Some surgeons are quite happy and even insist on some music in the background,...

  2. help with a cheater please!!!!

    Scrubby replied to hollyandsky's topic in General Nursing

    To answer the OP I also don't believe that the person your describing is cheating, it sounds as though the school is not up to standard. I would be annoyed because why should people who fail to pass...

  3. help with a cheater please!!!!

    Scrubby replied to hollyandsky's topic in General Nursing

    ummm have you read the entire thread?? Quite frankly your post is a bit silly considering the original poster just clarified the whole issue. I have to admit that I had some trouble reading the OP...

  4. Pumping at work and childcare

    Scrubby replied to bigmona's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any problems with anyone pumping as long as they do it in their breaks. I don't think it's fair for anyone to be taking more breaks , an have longer ones than anyone

  5. Nurses that "eat your lunch" during report!

    Scrubby replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Nursing

    I once worked with this nurse who seemed to want to hear an encylopedic knowledge of every patient you gave report to. She would nitpick at every little detail and if you didn't know then she would...

  6. Things you would like to tell... Nursing Staff ! ( and get away with)

    Scrubby replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Ha Ha this is a great thread! To the RN and 'facilitator' who told me I'd never make it as an RN...well I've only been out for three years and I'm a clinical nurse and run my own operating room! In...

  7. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    Scrubby replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I became a nurse for the financial security and because I enjoyed learning about anatomy in high school. I thought it would be an ideal career path for me and so I did my 3 year bachelor of nursing...

  8. Is it wrong?

    Scrubby replied to m.nursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    Cheer up...alcohol is still

  9. Scandal...I may have my license revoked? help

    Scrubby replied to enmack's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a bit confused, you said hypothetically at the start of the OP, so I assume this is either a fictional situation or someone

  10. Time Management or Personal Boundaries?

    Scrubby replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to argue that time management isn't important because it is. We shouldn't stuff around taking half an hour to do something that should only take 10 minutes. But one of the problems I see...

  11. Is it me?

    Scrubby replied to keepitreal's topic in Operating Room

    There is nothing wrong with you at all. 11 weeks is not a realistic expectation, more like 11 months! I would start looking for another hospital to work in. It sounds like this is an incredibly toxic...

  12. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    Scrubby replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    To do your master in nursing science at one of the universities in my state it costs $4,158 AUS per year. It is a year and a half course so would cost just over $6K, at current exchange rates would be...

  13. Help with Difficult Instructor

    Scrubby replied to abcabcabc's topic in General Nursing

    It just seemed a bit strange to me for someone to automatically take the side of the nursing

  14. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    Scrubby replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read every post here but i'm just amazed at how much these schools are charging for a nursing education. In Australia the cost of becoming an RN (we don't have BSN, ADN, MSN just RN) is...

  15. Help with Difficult Instructor

    Scrubby replied to abcabcabc's topic in General Nursing

    are you trying to imply here that bad instructors don't exist? i'm fairly certain they do students pay for a quality nursing education, therefore they are entitled to have instructors that are...

  16. Who is GENERALLY more of a "PAIN"?: Co-workers OR Patients?

    Scrubby replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to have to say co-workers. My patients are usually unconscious anyway. Most of my co-workers are pretty good to work with. But we have a few who have very poor work ethic. Examples-leaving...

  17. What's the reason for a RN to be snippy to a new post op pt. ?

    Scrubby replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing

    As nurses we have to deal with some pretty obnoxious family members. I guess some nurses become a bit jaded an over time become quite resentful to all family members... But the comment made about the...

  18. Am I doing something wrong here?

    Scrubby replied to CABG patch kid's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked with bullies like this person you have described. Humiliating others helps boost their self-esteem which is really sad but if you let them get to you then they have won. The best way to...

  19. What would you have said to this CNA

    Scrubby replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nobody is saying you are stupid because you are a nurse assistant. But you cannot judge an RN on their time management because you do not understand the scope of practice they

  20. I have a question to ask!

    Scrubby posted a topic in Operating Room

    I'm just keen to hear about how you guys set up for Ivor-Lewis Oesophagectomies. Where I work there is only one scrub nurse who has to provide instruments to two surgical teams. Now i've done a few of...

  21. What would you have said to this CNA

    Scrubby replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If the CNA has issues with the RN then they need to deal with it in a professional manner such as speaking to the RN in private, or going to management with their problem. Instead they chose to use...

  22. What would you have said to this CNA

    Scrubby replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No you can't appeal to both sides. For one thing you are not a nurse and therefore you have no qualifications to criticise the OP's nursing practice. As an assistant you do not fully understand the...

  23. seasonal birth control pill- only 4 periods a year? healthy

    Scrubby replied to Angela Mac's topic in General Nursing

    I have tried so many different pills and they all gave me severe mood swings. I now have the three monthly depo injections. I haven't had a period in about two years. Sometimes I worry about the...

  24. What would you have said to this CNA

    Scrubby replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry I wasn't clear in my previous post. I was only responding to the behavior of the CNA as described in the OP. In a normal everyay situation where the CNA's isn't using the N word and refusing to...

  25. Best. Stress. Relief. EVER.

    Scrubby replied to Chewie_123's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I tried shooting a few years ago. I absolutely hated it and had a minor breakdown when I realised how powerful a gun actually is....I'm ashamed to say that I ran out of the place in
