    duct tape is amazing! :) a non-serious thread

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

    do you feel like the CNA's run the floor?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to babynurse223's topic in General Nursing

    I remember several times at the NH, finding pills in the chairs, floor, beds, taking them to the nurse, and one in particular shrugging and saying "So what do you want me to do about

    Info: Where can I go to get health care regardless of my ability to pay?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Self Scheduling: Help me prove the nay-sayers wrong.

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

    I hate self-scheduling for the OR. I'm sure for other floors it's fine. If you have a busy room assignment (and most of our 12 and 10 hour people DO), you get what's left, because you're one of the...

    Outgrowing Friends

    Ever have patients who are a little *too* honest?

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

    Had a pt. (early 40's) say to me "You'd be prettier if you got breast implants." I said "I disagree, i'd be conforming to your idea of what pretty is. No thanks." What a
