    LeahJet replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Oh, while we're on the subject-----has anyone ever seen the episode of "Seinfeld" where Kramer gets the wrong set of vanity license plates, which read "Assman?" And, then, in the end, they find out...

  3. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    LeahJet replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Since I am 33 weeks pregnant, I "get" to do triage a lot these days.... so I am hearing all the complaints. After almost 10 years of being an ER nurse, I've just about heard them all.... until last...

  11. Client or patient?

    LeahJet replied to nursemike's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, too, that the word "customer" diminishes not only the medical profession, but the PATIENTS as well. It sounds as if they chose to be ill or injured. Can you imagine calling someone on an...

    LeahJet replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, I am so glad I read this thread or I would have nurses rolling their eyes behind MY back. I have been an ER and critical care nurse for about 10 years but I find that I am guilty of saying a...

  15. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    LeahJet replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't really a ghost story, but it definitely gave me chills. I was working in a critical care unit and there was a minister that was a pt. I can't really remember what was wrong with him but I...

    LeahJet replied to zambezi's topic in General Nursing

  20. UNIT SECRETARIES-- the good, and the not so good...

    LeahJet replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    I have always said that I would rather work short a nurse than a secretary. The (rare) nights that we don't have one...well, it's a disaster. I think I fall under the category of a lot of nurses. I...

  21. Survived my first day in the ER

    LeahJet replied to nursejennie76's topic in Emergency

    Well, I have been an ER nurse for almost 10 years now and I can honestly say that I still love it. ER is the type of place that you love or you hate. If you ever start feeling like you are "burned...

  22. Public Misconceptions

    LeahJet replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing
