    "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

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

    I've seen a few nursing students that claim they just want to work in management and skip the whole "bedside" thing. And think they can actually do it. But i honestly cannot believe that my...

    "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

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

    This is why i don't work in plastics. It made me way too aware of how out of whack some people's perspectives for when i saw women (girls, really) coming in for breast implants because "my boyfriends...

    Specialties

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Guest20074's topic in Operating Room

    I actually float to different specialties, but i do a lot of time in orthopedics. I like it because you get to work with power tools, plates, screws, cables, nails, and heavy instruments. It...

    Best lotion & hand soap?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to mommy2boys's topic in General Nursing

    One suggestion i have is that after washing your hands, rub lotion on while your hands are still wet, THEN dry them off. This helps a lot. I'm fond of Vaseline's Water Resistant lotion for my hands....

    Do you ever wish people didn't know you were a nurse?

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

    That pt. either travels or has a twin sister around my area. The best reply i saw to this person was "that's nice" from the nurse taking care of her. And her nurse just said it, and continued with...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to nursesaideBen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The majority of the med-surg nurses i work as an aide with were great, and liked to teach. So i would ask questions: "Mr. 503's BS is 209, what will he get?" "Mrs. 548 cut her arm with her...

    I agree. In nursing school we could only buy our uniforms from one company, and lo and behold that one company didn't carry tall pants. So i got tall pants from another company, but it was an act of...

    Who thinks this stuff up, anyway??

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    'Uniform' Dress Code

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

    Yes and no. If it would keep other non-nursing dept. like dietary and housekeeping from wearing the same deal, it might work. But having the same color and/or style is only as good as the person who...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately sometimes the term "non-compliant" assumes the roles of "refusing" in some people's minds, when in fact that may not be the case. I don't think it's specific enough. I agree with the...
