  1. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    Rapheal replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most of the posters that if I encounter any more remarks I will have to state that I find this to be unaccetable and I expect to not hear any more of this or I will be taking it to...

  2. A graduate nurse..........

    Rapheal replied to debRNo1's topic in Nursing Humor

    I wondered why I started writing things on the back of my hands and arms. Turns out I am not becoming unorganized, I'm just experienced

  3. THE DRAMA KING strikes again

    Rapheal replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Only you know where your heart lies in the decision you may have to make. Could you really make him leave if he loses his job- or would you relent? Sadly, I have learned that the best prediction of...

  4. SICK (whine)

    Rapheal replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Hope you feel better soon. I got it too. Can't hydrate like I would like to today because I am going Christmas shopping and don't want to need to use the restroom constantly. Stinks to feel like...

  5. Everyone works with a drama queen.

    Rapheal replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

  6. Hi! Can I join y'all?

    Rapheal replied to moni rn's topic in Emergency

    Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My only advice is that it is okay to ask questions as the need arises. People who don't like to answer them will let you know and you can scratch them off your list...

  7. Can I be forgiven

    Rapheal replied to old bear's topic in General Nursing

    The only way to find out if any one will hire you is to attend the class, write the letter- and get your license back. I feel confident that you will work again if you really want to. Would I hire...

  8. Understanding Women

    Rapheal replied to bedpan's topic in Nursing Humor

    I like bugs. Some are really beautiful, like dragonflies. But if I touch a cricket or a fly I feel ill. I can't kill them- but touching them repulses me. And I have been known to scream at the...

  9. Have you ever HEARD of this?

    Rapheal replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    Good thing your smart enough to spot the evasiveness of the recruiter. You know the old saying " Fools rush in where angels fear to

  10. Everyone works with a drama queen.

    Rapheal replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    Or the one who keeps coming up to you to tell you all about THEIR medical problems. A new one every week and you suspect they are healthier than you. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't do this...

  11. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    Rapheal replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    With the ortho doc I was really flustered and ignored him the first 2 times he asked me this. The third time (these were all in a row) all I could think of (not very brilliant) was "ummm no". I...

  12. Whiny nursing rant

    Rapheal replied to Hellllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain. It is a tough cold nursing world out there. And wouldn't it be nice that when you have pulled some rabbits out of the hat for your patients that someone would notice? Like when...

  13. customer satisfaction in the er

    Rapheal replied to ensense's topic in Emergency

    I had to take my teenage kid to to the ED last week (per the primary doctor's request- turned out to be nothing serious) and was surprised by his and my feelings of impatience. We got into a room...

  14. pain in the ed

    Rapheal replied to MAGIK GIRL's topic in Pain Management

    My last thought on this subject. Pain is what the patient states it is, medications will be given as ordered and are first priority unless something really big is going on. Value judgements are left...

  15. Male nurse kills 40 patients...what do you think?

    Rapheal replied to jdm33351's topic in General Nursing

    History has shown us that serial killers frequently hold jobs. This one just happened to be a

  16. pain in the ed

    Rapheal replied to MAGIK GIRL's topic in Pain Management

    I just have to say it. Sorry but I have to say it. I feel sorry for my patients who are in pain. Pain is subjective and I will administer the patients pain meds based on what they say it is. BUT-...

  17. med-surg floor

    Rapheal replied to nursepenny's topic in General Nursing

    heh heh heh- Welcome to my world:) Every day is a challenge. Here's a little thing about the IV's. Most nurses do perform the q8 hour flush. The difference from ICU to medsurg is that the...

  19. Tired of all the Anal Stuff and Horizontal Violence

    Rapheal replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Cheerfuldoer- I am almost speachless. I find it hard to believe that you meant what you posted. Vicky, I am sorry for your troubles. Stress, competition, low self-esteems, who knows what motivates...

  20. Why patients abuse the ER...I'm beginning to understand

    Rapheal replied to marcicatherine's topic in Emergency

    I don't think you abused the ER in any way. It is not uncommon for a concerned mom to take their child in after hours. The abuse part IMHO is when patients do not follow up with their primary care...

  21. 10/10 pain..venting!

    Rapheal replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

  22. disciplinary nightmare

    Rapheal replied to rosieposie's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you luck at your board hearing. You have received some excellent advice in preparing to answer the question of why you did what you did. So I hope you are preparing an answer. I wish I could...

  23. They are laughing at the patients

    Rapheal posted a topic in General Nursing

    Saturday I worked with the worst crew. The staff at the desk was yukking it up all day. You can hear them from all the way down the hall- laughing, joking, a few cuss words thrown in here and there....

  24. Wrote Dr. Phil yesterday....

    Rapheal replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Dear cheerfuldoer, I hope you get on the show. The public needs to know that there are plenty of nurses, but many of them not willing to work as nurses anymore. They need to know this is a HARD job...
