    Shed13911 replied to Stitchie's topic in General Nursing

    I had so many alcohol wipes saved up that it literally took me years after I stopped working in the hospital to use them all! LOL. However, there are so many things that they can be used for. Extra...

    Shed13911 replied to DidiRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Shed13911 replied to ninaldunn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, I did that 13 years ago. I was pregnant with my son and the crush was on the OB doc. I had lost 3 babies before that and was an OB nurse at that time working L&D. He took such great care of...

    Shed13911 replied to proview's topic in Telephone Triage

    Shed13911 replied to CIRQL8's topic in Operating Room

    Shed13911 replied to Nursie30's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, thanks for the words of warning. I guess I thought we were all anonomous here and felt safe in talking about past experience and concerns. How very sad that your coworkers were not on the honor...

    Shed13911 replied to Emily20's topic in Ob/Gyn

  17. What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    Shed13911 replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

  20. from student to shift supervisor???

    Shed13911 replied to IowaCindy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I too would be very reluctant to go from school straight into a supervising position. Even with some prior experience, that is a difficuly position. I think I would also wonder why they are asking you...

  21. Agency work

    Shed13911 replied to zacarias's topic in Washington Nursing

    I live in Texas but usually they require you to have a year of experience before they allow you to do agency. I think time management is a great concern and after working for a year, you learn how to...

  23. Just read this "woman does own C-section"

    Shed13911 replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    I say, "What a woman"!! I can not imagine that I could ever be so strong. She has more guts than most women, and she survived along with her child. If that is not a miracle, then what
