    hello kitty scrubs

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to ortizgi's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. A solid color in pants would break that

    What do patients say that irks you?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A pt., getting toes amputated, wanted to keep (not for culture ritual reasons either) the toes in a jar "to show people."

    Alternative for bath Soap ??

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to StatBlues's topic in General Nursing

    I would wonder that,

    Upset!!! write up and patients marijuana

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to RNGINA's topic in Home Health

    Sneering and smart-arsing aside (and ignoring the allcops remark), what if this person was busted for this plant without this nurse reporting it (yes, one single plant)? And she's asked "did you know...

    what study habits help you?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to capribry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Money's also a good motivator. I think to myself "I ain't paying for this **** class again, i'm passign the first time

    MD can't walk across the room to get a chart

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    I've read it, and while i was in the beginnings of it, i thought it was great. By the time i finished it, and thought more about it, i realized the book left out a LOT of people, and i was not nearly...

    MD can't walk across the room to get a chart

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    No one here is saying to put up with it! Far from it, just different ways to deal with people like that. And i DO educate myself, thank you.

    Teamwork vs doing someones job

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to brax881's topic in General Nursing

    You raised valid questions and facts, and i definitely agree that a "shawdowing" thing would be a good idea. How many nurses had to go though the "basics" of pt. physical care on orientation, even...

    Hey, is this legal????

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Wanna hear (read) something frightening? The 2mL vials of Fentanyl we have (for OR use) cost $1.57 per vial. Pt. charge for that? $197 per 2 mL dose. That's just one drug. That's not including...

    The "why" is because no one's doing anything to put a stop to

    MD can't walk across the room to get a chart

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    That's a very unfair assumption to make, based on this thread. There's been quite a few answered on here that were not passive-aggressive, and people were also elaborating on their past experiences....

    Teamwork vs doing someones job

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to brax881's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good idea. When i worked nights as an aide, we had pts. that were early risers naturally, and of course, wanting a bath at 5 am. One of the nurses had been sitting in a chair, feet propped...

    My 16-year-old wants a navel piercing

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm one of those weird people that thinks that below-the-belt piercings are just gross and a completely stupid idea. (let's be realistic here, i've heard that they, uh, enhance things, however, i'm...

    Buying out my contract????

    what study habits help you?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to capribry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cramming is always a bad idea. No more than a 60 watt bulb in the lamp. If you're supposed to wear glasses, put them on. Voice recorders are great for lectures. Don't sit there for hours studying, you...

    Patients always needing something no matter what.

    Do patients/families that are hostile, rude affect your morale?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to smartynurse's topic in General Nursing

    There's too many nice ones for the rotten ones to affect my morale. I've even had other families realize when someone's being a butthead. When i had one pt. scream (yes, scream) at me (when i was an...

    LVN to RN???

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in LPN to RN

    I completely agree. And it certainly wasn't a waste of my money (or time) either. In fact, since some of my classes will transfer, i'm not really paying much more for going this route than i would...

    Patients always needing something no matter what.

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    To some people, nursing isn't a calling, but anyway. Part of my compassion for fellow nurses includes the understanding of busy, frustrating days, venting about that, and not assuming that a person...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing
