After grad I worked in a large teaching facility that used all in one preps. When I went to work a smaller rural facility they hung lipds and AA seperately, I queried this one with pharmacy. They told me they hung the 2 seperately to be able to scree...

blah, blah,blah,blah. I like written report. You can add to it thru the day, its consistent and factual. And if your going to sit there and read it to me. Im going to choke you. I think I know how to read!

Do you think this is acceptable. Why are we wroking these shifts. Lets all speak up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lilyblue has the scoop!

I am so sick and tired of trying to care for grandma while the psychotic family is about to punch me in the face because I refuse to crush long acting didlaudid (are you nuts?) Then, as im being shoved into the wall by grandchild, she says " Im a nur...

We all hae to go thru school and write the exam, and then get thrown in. Experience makes you wiser. BUT, we all have a responsibility to take care of our young. If we are senior staff, we have a professional responsibility to share our knowledge! Qu...

Im hungry!!!!! LOL

I think tight tank tops at work is pretty unprofessional....at home, very different. And to those of you that think spending money on yourself (not always glossy nails and big hairdos, but what about the gym, a good diet and a little plastc surgery) ...

Coccyx ulcer on a 600lb pt. She was living at home with her kids with one RN coming in once aweek. She hadn't been turned in a year!!!!! It stunk so bad. We had to pack it with over 11 abd pads q4h. Yes she died from septecimia> Yes we puked. And...

Hmmmm.... I don't care how mean they can be at 3am...if they are on call, its their job to respond. Just like we work 24 hrs, so do they. Get over it. I spent most of my career at a teaching hospital with JMRs, SMRs, clercks etc etc. They were there ...

Loved your story

Iv worked joint replacements for years, and don't understand why they pour thousands of dollars into a pt that wont take care of themselves. Smokers get denied surgery until they quit, all the time. Yet we still provide joint replacements to pts >...

Addiction is. Be it sugar, carbs, ETOH, food, soda, whatever. We all get increased dopmaine from it. If you think you better than an ETHO or Meth junky when your over 100lbs weight, think again. Cost on our health system and society at large. As heal...

It's not deception, its burnout, and if you cover her, your going to have it too! Full time, is enuff time. Thankyou very much!

You have a life...let them get over it and do their shifts. Im working float pool....4 on/5 off. My educator calls me 2 days before my 5 off and wants me to attend an 8 hr in session. My husband lives 4 hrs away right now. That means I dont see him f...

What about the people he associates and works with? Hes a germaphobe. Your job is important. If he doesnt support you, you know what to do.....wacht your hand washing LOL

I'm not an incompetent nurse, will always ask questions if I dont know. Some of us are a little too quick with our judgements. Gimme a break! You know what Im talking about....we all miss things when we are tired or the previous shift !@#$ up on orde...

Had 13 pts last hs...all very acute and on telemetry....chest pain....anyphylactic reactions.....blah blah blah. I survived and so did they. It takes time to plan your game. Just think about it and figure out your priorities

1) Assessments with am care....get to really know them 2) Meds and blood sugars 3) Blood work 4) Delegate) Anything that can wait, will wait....if they don't get washed until 3pm....they still got washed (5) Prioritize and get you game plan down. I f...

Mosbys

Im sexy when I go home. At work, Im professional. My mind matters, not my "sexy" But at home.....I'm HOT! My husband is in the business and respects that. Nursing is intellectual. Alot of people still expect the virginal caps and whites (gross, I kno...

LOL funny! I have a story about an obese woman that couldn't wipe and was quite familiar with BBQ tongues. Even brought them into the hospital for self maintanance. Have problems doing BBQ. Gross

Pt covered himself with Cannestan cream and feces and ran around the ward screaming like a ghost. Halodol!

Do teachers know (or is that now? LOL) whats it's like to work 12 hr hs shifts and not sleep for 3 days b/c the neighbour is mowing his lawn, having a party or doing rennovations. I do shift work and live across the street from a public school. Need ...

Here, here! I went straight into it after a bad divorce. Dont recommend it. Had to work 3 jobs and go to school full time. I thinkk I slept 1-2 hrs a day. In the end, I should have done it like you. (LPNs are nurses too!)
