    whodatnurse replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    whodatnurse replied to walkingonsunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say that I think it's important to not allow your (natural) desire to want to be 'there' - at a point where you feel you've mastered your job - to be what drives your choice. You know...

    whodatnurse replied to NurseBrittney's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. I broke my ankle

    whodatnurse replied to NurseBrittney's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just so you know...you can't quite go to work "as soon as you get outta this thing". It'll be a few more weeks before you begin to walk properly again. The natural thing will be to want to walk...

  8. The Hospital Spa

    whodatnurse replied to Medic2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking just the other day how nice it must be to be one of those celebrities that checks themselves into the hospital for 'exhaustion'...like it's some sort of SPA where they can recharge...

  12. Nurses Past Their Prime

    whodatnurse replied to dialysis12041999's topic in General Nursing

    "I am very mindful about the nasty nurse types and I want to do what I can to get rid of that stereo type. But are some nurses just past their prime?" It's pretty apparent from your choice of...

  13. Trauma Naked?

    whodatnurse replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to clarify...I too have never cut the clothes off of a routine 'neck and back'. I had based my answer on words used by the original poster - paramedics and trauma team. Where I live...

  14. Trauma Naked?

    whodatnurse replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse yet, but I do know from having volunteered as an EMT for many years that if I 'called' a trauma, one of the things we did once we were enroute (after we got oxygen going and any other...

    whodatnurse replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    Okay...I have to say something about Mom "letting you have it" for having confided your experiencing depression. It sounded to me as if there were an implication in there somewhere that we 'have' to...

    whodatnurse replied to aussiemags's topic in General Nursing

    Not the same Tilda, but you're not crazy, either (uncommon name, at least in the U.S.). You're thinking of Tilda Swinton, who won for Michael Clayton, the movie starring George Clooney. I had never...

  23. Dating at work

    whodatnurse replied to galenanurse2b's topic in General Nursing
