    Confess! Whats the craziest force of habit you've done in the "Real World"

    teeniebert replied to vhern246's topic in Nursing Humor

    I usually catch myself before signing 'LPN'--my name just has a weird squiggle at the end sometimes. Walking into the grocery store one day, I put my car keys into my left front pocket...they fell...

    teeniebert replied to findingmywayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was doing "home tours" and "agency orientation" just after being hired as a direct care associate (non-licensed) in a group home for the developmentally disabled. The manager of the first home I...

    teeniebert replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    We have a resident with right sided weakness who refuses to let anyone else wipe her after a BM...she drops the toilet paper long before it gets to its destination...and is sure that the blood in her...

    For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    teeniebert replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    I haven't gotten anything big, but it IS nice to be able to add on a coolant flush with an oil change, get my hair cut by a professional more often than once every 12-18 months, and get my pets a...

    Toileting Bariatric Patients

    teeniebert replied to Toileting Help's topic in General Nursing

    I had an obese pt who used the bedpan exclusively. Whenever she got on the pan, she'd grab her cheeks and spread them out of the way. Good idea, but after several weeks of this the skin in her...

    If you can say one thing to your boss, what would it be?

    teeniebert replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for getting into a shouting match with the DON about scheduling admissions. Yes, we need to fill up our beds, but 4-6 admissions on the same shift is ridiculous, and I...

    For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    teeniebert replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    I haven't gotten a smart car yet, as my 1995 Saturn is still running (quite well for the age and mileage, actually!), but I've been getting my hair cut at a salon every 6 weeks. I used to go to the...

    dear patients, please quit saying that to me

    teeniebert replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    [offtopic] You know, this can occasionally work to your advantage. One day I opened the door when a few missionaries knocked. They asked me if my parents were home, and I was so surprised I just...

    Is it okay to be in the same nursing class as a relative?

    teeniebert replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    They might split you up for clinical groups. There were 2 sisters in my class and they had to have different groups due to the possibility of at-home issues being brought to the workplace...

    teeniebert replied to Tait's topic in Nursing Humor

    Sort of off topic, but we have a resident who is 'pleasantly confused' most of the time. He puts his call light on several times a day to tell whoever responds, "I can't stop s***ting!" Every med...

    LPN Program Easier than RN Program?

    teeniebert replied to Donald11's topic in LPN to RN

    Not necessarily easier, but shorter and to the point. My program was a year long and we only had nursing classes--no philosophy, art history, phys ed, or trigonometry. We did have some math/algebra...

    what is a treatment?

    teeniebert replied to peachmouse's topic in General Students

    General rule: treatments are things that go ON the body, not IN it. "Benadryl 25mg po q 4hrs prn itching" is a medication. "Benadryl cream to reddened area on left upper arm TID prn itching" is a...

    How do you study? *LPN accelerated program*

    teeniebert replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Students

    Pre-reading helped me. I'd look at the syllabus to see what we were covering that week and read as much of the material as I could the weekend before (no highlighting). Then I'd take the book to...
