    kmrmom42 replied to AlaskaKat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    kmrmom42 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    My youngest when he was three years old looked up at his Aunt's largely pregnant belly and said "Aunt Sandra, how you get all that fat food in there?" LOL He hasn't lived that down for the past 18...

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

    kmrmom42 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I know just what you mean. I love the women who come in by ambulance for a labor check because they "didn't have a ride" and then they expect to get an ambulance ride back home! We tell that that...

  9. I'm writing up the CNA at my LTC facility

    kmrmom42 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming you weren't working the night shift if you could get vitals at 9 pm. A night shift nurse needs to get them AFTER she actually gets to work I would

  11. What does your screenname mean?

    kmrmom42 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    Sort of reminds me of "slap happy"! Cute! I feel badly about the student who goes by the name Sad. If I were an instructor at her/his school I would take that as a mandate to look into what might make...

  13. The Know-It-All nurse

    kmrmom42 replied to BETSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Gee, I wonder who that could be Betsy!!! I am not sure that the loose cannon example is really that she doesn't think outside the box. More that she likes to be in the center of things that she thinks...

  14. Snow emergency excuse?

    kmrmom42 replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    I just had to weigh in on this topic. I lived my entire life (until the past 14 months) in New England. My first job was as a nurse's aide when I was 16 getting paid $1.10 an hour. From that time on I...

  15. help me buck the system, please! super-traditional pinning ceremony that nobody wants

    kmrmom42 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    For my pinning we wore our student uniforms. That what was we wore as we struggled to become nurses and it seemed appropriate to wear that to our pinning. It was a brief but meaningful ceremony held...

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

    kmrmom42 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Had a similar experience in my house when one of my boys was 13. He had suffered for a whole day before having the guts to tell me about this... he had peed in the woods and apparently had poison ivy...

    kmrmom42 replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We get them once in a while. In my last facility the Care Providers all did the collections, no questions asked. Here they do try to get us to do it. However, I discovered the the kit that usually...

  21. Own uniforms or hospital scrubs?

    kmrmom42 replied to irehc's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have done both. I think there are pro's and con's for each. I liked the fact that it didn't cost me anything with hospital scrubs and I thought we looked more professional with all of us wearing the...
