  1. e.r. nurse

    Jaybird310 replied to kutinghernandez's topic in Emergency

    LOL I know exactly how you feel. I've been in ER (minus a brief stint in med surg after being out of work with an injury for a while) since I got my license 4 years ago (almost 5). It's certainly very...

  2. When wasting narcotics...

    Jaybird310 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I have always made sure to truly waste any narcs that need to be wasted. There's simply too much liability with narcs and I've dealt with too many seekers and addicts who would go through extremes to...

  3. Need Easy RN school Ny or Jersey

    Jaybird310 replied to Dionyonce's topic in General Nursing

    The title of this thread made me chuckle. Easy nursing school... again I chuckle. If anyone finds this easy nursing school can you please ask them to offer an NP program that isn't going to have me...

  4. nurses and vacations off work

    Jaybird310 replied to 2lip's topic in General Nursing

    My PTO is accumulated throughout the year, and amounts to 3 weeks total. It's been that way at the last 2 hospitals I've worked at. I personally believe that vacation time should be used for just...

  5. Co Worker and snide comments

    Jaybird310 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So this is like a vent/help I've got here. So I have a co worker that I feel has crossed the line with her remarks and I'm not entirely sure how to handle it. She was only hired about a month ago and...

  6. Co Worker and snide comments

    Jaybird310 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Okay one last update for this thread and then it should be all done. Thank you all for the congrats and well wishes. To whoever made the comment that I owe my fiancee's best friend, you're right and...

    Jaybird310 replied to KarmaWiseRaven's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worn cologne period. I've always used aftershave. I have an unscented one I use on nights I have to work and then there's the ones I wear on my off days. Too echo everyone else it's not a...

  8. You know your pt is a jerk if........

    Jaybird310 replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    You know your patient's a jerk when: You introduce yourself as a nurse and immediatly get met with a flurry of Gaylord Fokker referrences. You're pt who five minutes ealier was in dire pain holds up a...

  9. Co Worker and snide comments

    Jaybird310 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. Government Recruiting Foreign RN's/MD's!

    Jaybird310 replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

    I actually don't see too much of a problem with this. They're going after people who've been working legally and want to be citizens. Our country has a need, they have a want. It seems (at least to...

  11. Just got off the witness stand

    Jaybird310 replied to suger56's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't this the truth. My sister, who's now a substance abuse counselor, interned at a law firm thinking she wanted to go to law school because she wanted to help people. Then she realized that 95% of...

  12. Obnoxious co-workers...

    Jaybird310 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    The most obnxious co worker I've ever had was another nurse who was my age and had 2 kids with a crackhead (not being funny he truly was a crackhead) husband she wouldn't get away from. She was always...

  13. Co Worker and snide comments

    Jaybird310 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I promised I'd come back and give you guys yet another update. And while I still don't know why Nurse Nasty got fired, if I find that out I'll let you know. My girlfriend is now my fiancee. She said...

  14. Male nurse on The ultimate fighter

    Jaybird310 replied to tronix304's topic in Men in Nursing

    I love how the UFC is billing Nover as America's most Dangerous Nurse. That's so badass in my opinion and really helps with Male nurse

  15. easy street - where is it?

    Jaybird310 replied to allibear's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked nights in Rehab both for OT and as a floater. And that is by far the easiest nursing job I've ever done. It's been down right boring at time. I'm sure not all Rehab units are like that but...

  16. They are trying to force the DTaP vaccine on me.

    Jaybird310 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    LOL You work telemetry or oncology? Because it's been my experience (before I was a marked man) that telemetry and oncology always have the prettiest women. you're in TN though right? I used to kinda...

  17. They are trying to force the DTaP vaccine on me.

    Jaybird310 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Dude you should come work in our ER, you'd fit right in with all of us witty

  18. Male nurse on The ultimate fighter

    Jaybird310 replied to tronix304's topic in Men in Nursing

    Nover fought tonight and made the final anyone watch? If he hasn't already quit nursing he will after the final, win or lose, which I think he'll win, he's got one hell of a UFC career ahead of

  19. Understanding Differentials and Overtime

    Jaybird310 replied to mi428454's topic in General Nursing

    You need to check with the institution because it can vary from place to place. The last hospital I worked at calculated OT including the diffs, my current hospital does not. Diffs for nights can also...

  20. Co Worker and snide comments

    Jaybird310 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you both. It's a nice stress relief to know I won't have to go back to work a deal with my former coworker ever again. Now I can move my stressing to other thoughts. I've got something pretty...

  21. should i study for 2nd semester finals or go to my grandmothers 75th anniversary?

    Jaybird310 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what most everyone else is telling you. Call Grandma tell her congrats and you love her and then hit the books. Everyone makes sacrifices during nursing

  22. Co Worker and snide comments

    Jaybird310 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL feel free bro, I wouldn't wish this woman's wrath upon anyone. I truly feel sorry for whoever ends up as her next

  23. I wish sombody would have told me......

    Jaybird310 replied to Xcited 2B-N-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wish someone would have told me that I'd need a crash course in how to handle crying women. I was the only guy in my med surg and psyche clincal group, and I can't tel you how many times I ended up...

  24. Anti-HIV

    Jaybird310 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the more in depth clarification, I'm not up to speed on the levels of HIV testing. But it remains an Anti-HIV test is an HIV test. Now I'm just wondering why they would do an HIV test when...

  25. Anti-HIV

    Jaybird310 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    It's my understanding that an Anti-HIV is merely an HIV test to see if there are HIV antibodies present. Therefore if the results said reactive then I assume the patient is HIV Positive. Someone...
