  1. Getting involved with a co-worker

    AmericanRN replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

  2. Nightmare Families and Hospital protocols

    AmericanRN replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    What a demented family. That poor young man. Did the little banjo player from Deliverance show up as well to add some music to the atmosphere? Perhaps they were eating possum on a half shell nice...

  3. Nightmare Families and Hospital protocols

    AmericanRN replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    Been there and I"m not even a nurse yet. I have seen children skating down the hallway at the local VA hospital here, this hospital is full of elderly people with walkers, canes, etc and there are ton...

  4. Getting involved with a co-worker

    AmericanRN replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Your post creeps me out and I'm a woman. I have no problem with people dating their co-workers if that is what each party desires and it doesn't interfere with their jobs. That being said it seems...

  5. NAI descent: Roll Call

    AmericanRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and non natives are hired by IHS all the time. What part of the country were you considering working in? Navajo country or something like that

  6. NAI descent: Roll Call

    AmericanRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I think my post came off like I was picking on you and what you intend to do with Ndn country. I didn't mean it like that I just didn't want you torn apart in person. There is no "magic...

  7. really gross doctor

    AmericanRN replied to aye caramba's topic in General Nursing

    I think you made the right call there with throwing that vitamin out. The 5 second rule that little kids had back in the day just doesn't apply at the hospital. If the doc thinks that's cool then let...

  8. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    AmericanRN replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent point you were balanced and objective to both sides. That being said your best point was the last sentence. I was talking to an RN a few weeks ago who made the decision early in her career...

  9. Funny Names

    AmericanRN replied to nurserynurse55's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  10. Rather work with men or women?

    AmericanRN replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Are you saying you never heard any of this from male inmates? Just because you are a woman and and do it as well doesn't make it true of all

  11. Funny Names

    AmericanRN replied to nurserynurse55's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Oh this is funny wait until I tell my cousin. She will like the idea that there is Heaven Lee out there 5 years younger then her Heaven Leigh. I forgot to mention she is nursing school as well as I...

  12. NAI descent: Roll Call

    AmericanRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I thought your post had the best of intentions but I have to say this to you before you contact some tribe to go work for them and they just tear you to bits. Many Native Americans tribes do not...

  13. Funny Names

    AmericanRN replied to nurserynurse55's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Ummm.......It isn't my cousin's kid by chance is it? Seriously my cousin named her daughter Heaven Leigh, but this is Heave is 5 now. Oh well we laughed too and we're

  14. ever bring your dog to work?

    AmericanRN replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    I would definatley check into seeing if the dog must be a therapy dog with the proper training. I love labs dearly myself but they are big, a little clumsy when they are young and some people are...

  15. ever bring your dog to work?

    AmericanRN replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    Only if they're furry and properly leashed. just

  16. In nursing uniform during a traffic copstop!

    AmericanRN replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    She sounds like the girl who is in the promo for the show Speeders she gennuinely surprised that didn't work. That being said be careful with some of the elderly. A male deputy friend of mine got...

  17. Grad gifts for fellow grads....

    AmericanRN replied to WDWpixieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hahaha I just saw that the other day in neon pink of all colors. It's right up there with "Juicy" coture on my list of things never to wear or give to anyone else to

  18. In nursing uniform during a traffic copstop!

    AmericanRN replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    Bingo you said it all. It is at the officer's discretion unless the violation is so blatant and obvious they cannot excuse it. Also many officers are more inclined to give a break here and there if...

  19. You don't LOOK like a nurse

    AmericanRN replied to NHCNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what a "nurse" looks like. I never thought about it but on the other hand she may not have meant that negatively. I go by tone and voice pitch with people not what they actually said,...

  20. Ihs

    AmericanRN replied to ertravelrn's topic in General Nursing

    One of my instructors worked for IHS for 10 years and she loved every minute of it. She worked mostly with the Dine (Navajos). I think it's good you'll get to work with the people and be up close. I...

  21. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    I've also heard lady partss referred to as "Lucy" , "pocketbook", and

  22. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    AmericanRN replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    P.S. the plane lady said the MD told her to try and breastfeed the kid on the plane even though she can talk in two languages. He told them it would keep the ears from popping and offer the child it's...

  23. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    AmericanRN replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    Hahahah. You know it's even worse if a child knows sign language because then they want "boobers" in two languages. 2 years ago on a plane trip I sat next to a nice mom and her little girl. The girl...

  24. Rather work with men or women?

    AmericanRN replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked with both genders and don't care as long as they do their job and don't leave me hanging. Men however do play games and they gossip, bicker and back stab with the best of them. I have...

  25. Indian culture and health care go hand in hand

    AmericanRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree. Illness is not illness. Response to illness has a lot to do with culture and in some cultures it is everything. Respect should be key to both sides but part of being...
