  4. victim of biggot school

    LeahJet replied to sanchy's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm missing something here but I'm not picking up on any bigotry based on your post. When I was in school, tests were pretty cut and dry. Most were multiple choice and not up for debate. Maybe...

    LeahJet replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    OLJ- "Ohhh Lordy Jesus!" (mantra used by LOL's) CAW- country-a$$ whoopin' "acorn titers" for the squirrels

  6. Why Can't Hospitals Offer Shifts Other Than 12 hr. 7 to 7?

    LeahJet replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    I work two 16 hour shifts a week because it works out best for me. I have a 9 month old daughter and I am away from her only two nights a week....which is great. Does 16 hours in the ER whip my rear?...

  7. patient satisfaction

    LeahJet replied to RNLex's topic in Emergency

    The new thing at our ER is "CIA" Call the patient by name. Introduce yourself. Ask if there is anything else you can do before you leave the room. Actually, the hospital I work at now is not as bad as...

  8. pt report to ICU?

    LeahJet replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    That is so funny and true............ and yet sad in the fact that some people rely on silly infantile games to better their self

  9. As a patient, do you disclose your qualifications?

    LeahJet replied to lisalau's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this is my own silly notion....but I think that making my profession known to "keep them on their toes" would be a reflection of my own inadequacies. It implies that the nurse would give poor...

  10. What needs changing in nursing?

    LeahJet replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    AMEN to that..... martyrs (sic) really get on my nerves. These people are the very reason that when someone DOES complain or balk, they are regarded as "whiny" or

  11. Medics vs Nurses in the ER

    LeahJet replied to fire_911medic's topic in Emergency

    TNCC is a good thing.....most nurses I work with have had

  12. Medics vs Nurses in the ER

    LeahJet replied to fire_911medic's topic in Emergency

    Sorry, guess I'm just not understanding why you think ER nurses should be trained more like medics. There are no creeks running through the ER....at least none that I have worked in..... and MVC pts....

  13. Nurse dates doctor openly at work.

    LeahJet replied to castle's topic in General Nursing

    Even though situations like these are nauseating to look at sometimes, when I am around these pathetic displays I just keep my mouth shut and mind my business. Fate has a way of taking a much harder...

  14. Question re: lupus and fibromyalgia

    LeahJet replied to KAW1962's topic in General Nursing

    And I say Shame on those individuals that use the diagnosis to attention (and drug) seek. THEY are the ones that contribute to the stigma. I also believe that this is an "easy" diagnosis for MD's that...

  15. Nursing Dreams

    LeahJet replied to 2bnursescrubs's topic in General Nursing

    OMGosh...I have had that same dream! It has been about 2 years since I've worked ICU but I remember having that dream a couple of times then. I discovered the patient at about 5am on a night shift and...

  17. Mandatory Overtime: States Push for New Legislation

    LeahJet replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am really not trying to be controversial but I have NEVER experienced mandatory OT. I have been a nurse for 10 years and I have worked in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Indiana, and Mississippi. I have never...

  18. Increase in I&D's in the South?

    LeahJet posted a topic in Emergency

    I was just wondering if other places through out the South were experiencing a marked increase in wounds w/ staff that require I&D..... what the old folks called "risens". I have recently moved...

  19. Rules that make you go Hmmmmm...

    LeahJet replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Ok....I am going in a different direction here....... As nurses, we give all sorts of crucial medication.... Adenocard, Potassium, Succs, ect ect........... SO...my question is....WHY do most...

  20. What nursing Managers fail to see

    LeahJet replied to Nursekat64's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think that the OP is "jealous" but I do think her frustration is misguided. Nurse Managers are merely middle management. They are there to pass along the decisions of the CEO's and powers much...

  23. she tried to access mediport, it was really a pacer

    LeahJet replied to jilliebean's topic in General Nursing

    You know, you are so right. Recent graduates will ask questions and that's a good thing. A lot of experienced nurses feel pressure about "looking ignorant" in front of peers and will try to muddle...

  24. advice/experience? please!

    LeahJet replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry about your Dad.....my heart goes out to you. As far as the internship, I don't think it will affect your ability to get a job. An internship may get your foot in the door on a certain...

  25. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    LeahJet replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I am tired of being blamed by the patients in the ER when they have to wait so long. Whenever a chart is put up for a "to do" order, I am right on it, as most all of my co-workers. However, a few...
