Are you including college health in this poll?

Wow! I don't even like to see parents taping and posting their kids as they are coming out of conscious sedation after a dental procedure. It is not funny. This is inexcusable. No surprise that she was found negligent in at least one of the malpractice cases.

I do not want scrubs that make me look like I swing the in the wrong direction. And what direction would that be?

I remember the "State Boards". I was so nervous by the lunch break of the first day that I had a drink with my lunch calm down. I passed all sections but I scored much higher on the afternoon sections when I was more relaxed.

Crusty Old Bats! LOL! I am really enjoying these comments. I graduated from nursing school in 1979 so I remember all of these things and more. And I guess that makes me a COB too! The cardiologists used to leave coffee cups and lit cigarettes on the wooden railing outside of the patients rooms. All of them smoked. We had a cart full of charts that the head nurse pushed around when the docs made rounds in the morning. After rounds we had to sort through the charts that were left piled up at the nursing station and take off orders. Remember the folded page of orders and trying to read the hand written orders? I remember asking a physician about an order he had written that I could not read. After looking at it for a while he said "Hell, I don't know either!" and scratched it out. Patients were admitted to the hospital for 3 or 4 days to have a full diagnostic work up which included a colonoscopy prep with "enemas until clear" the evening prior to the procedure. Stainless steel water pitchers with lids at the bedside that were re-filled with ice water every shift. Speaking of shifts, there were three shifts and no mandatory call or overtime. Remember the supply charge stickers that we had stuck all over our (white) uniforms? I would find them everywhere. I wonder how many lost charges resulted? White nursing hats. Hated them!

I completely agree. Cookies are gone in an instant but a sincere thank you in writing lasts forever!
