  1. Are you aware of how you conduct yourself in public?

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a huge level 1 trauma center. We have a bar on the corner of the block. It has become so popular for all of us, (nurses, doctors, and others) that they have designated an area that has a...

  2. Youngest NP?

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to tfleuter's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am currently a MSN/ACNP student at age 30, but just a perspective. I graduated high school when I was 16, had an ADN at 18, and a BSN at 20. So if I would have continued my education at that point,...

  3. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Okay, you all have very good points/advice. So my question is if you were the VP of Patient Care Services at a major teaching hospital what changes would you propose? Given the impact of technology...

  4. how do you keep your sexy??

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    sexy and successful are too totally different things, however sexy in no way = trashy! And being sexy does not attract the wrong type of people, that is just ludacris. I am successful because I have...

  5. how do you keep your sexy??

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    I judge my coworkers on how good they are nurse wise and how sexy they are, having one is good, having both is a blessing. And sorry, I do laugh at the ones who wear way to much make-up or have a can...

  9. how do you keep your sexy??

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    That is so funny!! I almost spit Coke on my laptop. One of our docs who was very nice, but very good and he knew it, and always tried to act very professional at work. Well one day he started to tell...

  11. how do you keep your sexy??

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    Been there guys, embarassing things happen a lot during codes, but it gives us ammunition against our coworkers, once had my pants showing off a bit too much too, just like you said, I'm 4'11" 94 lbs,...

  12. how do you keep your sexy??

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes codes can be a very sexy time. Especially when I am working with this one male nurse and this one paramedic. When they are doing compressions, they get all sweaty and their biceps and...

  13. Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that this person was rude, but maybe you took the comments a little too personally. I too was an LPN, then went straight on for my RN, I too never had any help, and worked (2 jobs) to pay for...

  14. What can i do with my husband?

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to beatriceb321's topic in General Nursing

    you mean you put in all that time, and your gonna let your husband decide what you should do? It may just be me (and my husband is very supportive of all of my years in er) but if my husband ever...

  16. morphine IV

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to breaking_dawn's topic in Emergency

    It blows me away at times, the high doses that we give of morphine and dilaudid when we have a trauma, even hours after the fact. Just remember if you are giving it to a normally healthy trauma (no...

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Tammy79, RN, I think I love you! And while it has been fun watching you make some people back pedal sooo fast, you'd better be careful or those powerful, big-time congressmen friends will...

  18. A Quick Question Please!

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA posted a topic in Emergency

    In my MSN program my group is required to get an article published in a nursing journal (I know, I know), but I gotta do it. Have any of you every been published? Is is a terribly hard process? Any...

  19. vent--angry patients--your input

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to RN4911's topic in Emergency

    I think what you said was perfectly nice. I would not have been so compassionate. Where I work we do not put up with any kind of verbal abuse from a perfectly sane person. The police would have kindly...

  20. Paramedics saying they are nurses---is this legal?

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Emergency

    Love paramedics and EMTs (especially, the young buff ones) that I work with. Don't wanna get into this, but also think this post is kind of confusing. We don't employ medics in our hospital, not for...

  21. Gastric Banding to treat Type II Diabetes

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to twistedpupchaser's topic in General Nursing

    How much insurance pays is usually based on how many co-morbidities are present (DM2 and HTN, etc.) A nurse friend of mine had it done a few weeks ago and had to pay $1,000. If you look at the...

  22. Fall Risk Screening in the ED

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to RNintheER's topic in Emergency

    We do this, but we have computer charting and it is just a check list. It's pretty easy, we do it with our hourly charting. It is a point system. It just asks you things like, fall in the last 6...

  23. Rules for the ER (long)

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, he was hilarious! We are still laughing at this one. I would rather deal with a babbling drunk anyday. I'm pretty sure that he heard us laughing at him on more than one occassion, but we could...

  24. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for listing so many facts. I was waiting, I really did not have the enegy to speak up on this one. I find it hard to listen to people who are just plain mean and come here to put people...

  25. Rules for the ER (long)

    I_LOVE_TRAUMA replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Welcome, you reminded me of last week. Had a young trauma MVC pt. She had extremity fxs. Before we could do anything to her she kept asking her male visitor (one of 5,000), if he agreed with our plan,...
