    Welcome To The Hospital - From Your Nurse

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    I just have to say this...."please don't let the door slap you in the butt on your way out". OP to me has a sense of humor and that humor has nothing to do with the quality of the care they deliver or...

    Welcome To The Hospital - From Your Nurse

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely hilarious. Loved it. I think nurses who cannot see the humor in nursing burnout the fastest of all. It is the humor that has kept me sane in the most insane of situations. Seeing this...

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Com'on, you got one...What is your heart wrenching moment?

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    My heart moment came innocently enough. It involved a lovely young mother, barely 21 or 22. Susanne(not her real name) had colon cancer that she had been fighting since she was 16. There weren't any...

    I am ashamed for them

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to JenWieder's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Death and dying brings out the worst and best in families. Grief is so unique and it is such a deep process that I never think twice about how any family behaves or acts. I too have seen many fierce...

    Job Interview for an Ortho/Neuro Unit

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to ANelson732's topic in General Nursing

    If you have any experience in ortho-neuro I would be sure to mention it. If you really have not had the opportunity (you didn't work somewhere while in school etc) then show a passion for the...

    No, We Can't Offer You A Job, But.....

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to caliotter3's topic in General Nursing

    That seems really weird to me and not safe or in the best interests of either nurse or patient. I have worked in home health care for about 7 years. Loved it in rural areas but not so much now that I...

    Support Kaci Hickox

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have to disagree about our knowing very little about Ebola. It first presented itself in 1976 I believe and there are 5 subtypes of ebola. The material has been around for

    Help me bring this into the public!

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to malenurse122879's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I won't be signing the petition but I still don't agree with how blatantly rebellious KC is acting. There are right ways and wrong ways to make a point. She could get on blogs, write her congressmen,...

    Ebola- Quarantine/Quasi quarantine Yes or No?

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have mixed feelings, not about Ebola, but about how this “suddenly thrust into the public lime-light” nurse is behaving. Kaci states up front she has no intention of following the guidelines for...

    Are American hospitals ready for Ebola?

    Cheyenne RN,BSHS replied to texarkana 551's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nurses in Spain would be well educated to use and have appropriate PPE. Now one is sick with a high fever and has tested positive for Ebola. I think nursing and healthcare people should start being...
