    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    Oh for the love of Pete.... I was just laughing because you were doing EXACTLY what I was asking about in my OP. It was like you missed the entire point completely and went into your horrible ER...

  3. ER bashing...where is the love??

    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    Um...'fraid I've "been there and done it", thankyouverymuch. I worked in CVU, CCU, and Neuro critical care in Indianapolis. I was an ER nurse before I did that and while I liked working in those...

  4. Rude Family Members: Just Venting!

    LeahJet replied to sarahRN482's topic in General Nursing

    While it's all warm and fuzzy to talk about putting yourself in someone elses' shoes and to be all therapeutic..... there are some people that are just JERKS. I have kind of an off beat way of dealing...

    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    Is this person for real or just tryin' to yank my chain?:chuckle See? Even on a thread that asks WHY people do this....someone can't resist to tell an ER horror story....... soooo funny.... (and so...

  6. ER bashing...where is the love??

    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

  7. ER bashing...where is the love??

    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    I love the way those silly ER nurses always ORDER things! Gee, wish the DOCTORS down there wrote some orders every once and a while. okok.... I know what I said about the whole ER vs. Floor thing...

  8. ER bashing...where is the love??

    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    I think that my OP was kind of taken the wrong way. While I can appreciate the whole Floor vs. ER issue, it has been done to death. I was addressing more of the nurse or nurse's friend/family member...

  9. wearing perfume to work

    LeahJet replied to acaringnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I think of loud perfumes/colognes, I think of this particular GI doctor who thought he was God's gift to all women. I can just hear his loafers clicking down the hall and smell his Polo...

  10. wearing perfume to work

    LeahJet replied to acaringnurse's topic in General Nursing

    ewww....I hate the smell of microwaved butter popcorn....especially when it burns....double ew. Unlike perfume, that just invades a small area.... the microwave popcorn thing floods the whole

  11. Does MD really stand for Mad Diva?

    LeahJet replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a ~gift~, if you will, of doing this very thing. I can cut a doctor down a couple of notches...all with a smile on my face. Maybe the southern thing helps. For instance, a urologist was doing...

  13. Please tell me how this is right?!?!

    LeahJet replied to L&DRNJenn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I'm pretty sure this is a standard that many hospitals are using. The last hospital I worked for had the EXACT same thing. The whole "low and high performer" thing. It was a Magnet hospital...I'm...

  14. Scared, Confused, and Worried..am i pregnant?

    LeahJet replied to Mightymouseett's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A regular over-the-counter home pregnancy test....even the cheap "generic" kind, is about 99% accurate when done correctly. And if you can urinate on a stick, it will be correct. Most can accurately...

  15. Crocs Brand Shoes

    LeahJet replied to Bipley's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am sooo glad I wasn't the only one...lol.... I was kind of short changed in the grace department anyway and these shoes made me feel like Chevy Chase or some other slapstick comedian. I'd be walking...

  16. Recent ER transfer w/ a question

    LeahJet replied to soFLRN's topic in Emergency

    Just remember that nursing is nursing.... the critical thinking and skills you have are with you no matter where you are. It's only a matter of knowing where everything is located...which is kind of a...

  17. Crocs Brand Shoes

    LeahJet replied to Bipley's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I guess I am one of the few that can't wear Crocs when I work. They feel great.... so light.... it's like you are walking around in your socks. However, they don't provide the support that I need....

  20. ER bashing...where is the love??

    LeahJet replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    I don't really think that I had pre-conceived notions. But I guess that I did have an expectation that a site named "all nurses" might....well...you know...advocate nursing a bit. I, of all people,...

  22. I'm sick to my eyeballs of incompetent agency nurses.

    LeahJet replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in General Nursing

    First and foremost, there are many generalizations flying around here. I have done a few travel assignments and the managers at a couple of the units...which were both critical care.... asked me to...

  23. Treated badly in ER of hospital I work at!

    LeahJet replied to missmolly's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that everyone has a horror story about their visit to the ER...as if all the ER nurses do is goof off and party while all the patients are writhing in pain. There are a few variables at work...

  24. what do you think of the doctors you work with???

    LeahJet replied to MagicalThinking's topic in General Nursing
