  1. The Impossible Quiz

    cherrybreeze replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Had to bump this up to say I FINALLY BEAT IT!! After hours wasted trying There are 110 questions, and DON'T skip any...you'll need the skips

  2. Intensive Care Patient Gowns

    cherrybreeze replied to Jennifer Opie's topic in General Nursing

    Our bariatric gowns have snap

  3. nurses and spelling

    cherrybreeze replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    Had to laugh at this, I'm so that way, too. East? South? I have no idea. Luckily my dashboard tells me which way I'm facing, that helps a little bit. Now, left or

  4. My vent and What I will learn from it?

    cherrybreeze replied to SmilesNoir's topic in General Nursing

    First off, let me say that I'm glad you dismissed the legal action option. Unless you have severe, long-lasting problems down the road, there's no basis for it. I had contaminated instruments used...

  5. How many years have you been a nurse?

    cherrybreeze replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    I've been an RN since I was 21, so I'll hit nine years in a couple of months. Who knows when I will retire, if I work til 70 (and with the track SS is on, that just might be necessary!) I have 40...

  6. Intensive Care Patient Gowns

    cherrybreeze replied to Jennifer Opie's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious what you find difficult about it? The gowns that we have, at least (and I would imagine most places do, too) all have snaps for whatever on the sleeves, so you can apply them around IV's,...

  7. nurses and spelling

    cherrybreeze replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    Did he actually read it? I'm impressed if he did, I can't see a teenage boy being interested. :) That's some good bargaining, right there. I agree, though, I plowed through those books (except the...

  8. anyone else?

    cherrybreeze replied to chillchick's topic in General Nursing

    I'll go against the grain and not call you uptight. I do totally understand where you're coming from. There's also a difference between it bothering you, and acting on that bother, which you stated...

  9. nurses and spelling

    cherrybreeze replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    Someone can be a stickler about something, but not be perfect. They're not the same. I didn't say I didn't excuse an occasional error. I know you know the difference between posts like that, and...

  10. nurses and spelling

    cherrybreeze replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with you...I mean a typo in posting a response on an anonymous internet forum. I type too fast for my own good, and usually can catch what I screw up, but it's not for lack of...

  11. patient dies from combination of drugs that doc prescribed. who is responsible?

    cherrybreeze replied to premedwoahs's topic in General Nursing

    dudette, I greatly appreciate your post. I just wanted to let you know that. I'm not going to continue to go toe-to-toe with iPatch, as he obviously doesn't know what he doesn't know. Someday he...

  12. nurses and spelling

    cherrybreeze replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    You also completely misread my intent. That doesn't surprise me,

  13. nurses and spelling

    cherrybreeze replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    A typo is a little bit different, IMO. I don't have a spell check feature on here, and I type quickly. Since my job isn't secretarial, a typo on occasion is not the same was what I was talking about...

  14. Why not a "match day" for nurses?

    cherrybreeze replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    Fribblet, MD's and pharmacists may be required to have a 4 year degree before starting med school, but it isn't required that it be in liberal arts...in fact, may go with biology. That negates that...

  15. nurses and spelling

    cherrybreeze replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    This has been discussed before, for sure. I do not believe there is a larger percentage of nurses that are bad spellers/use poor grammar than in any other group of people. I am a stickler for grammar...

  16. University of Utah Medical Center implements new dress code

    cherrybreeze replied to pennyaline's topic in General Nursing

    I did know what you meant. The brown scrubs I have, though, are more of a rich, coffee/chocolate brown, not...poop brown. I do have a red top,

  17. The Impossible Quiz

    cherrybreeze replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    ARGH I'm up to 104. I just want to beat this thing! Anyone else giving it a

  18. Surprising diagnosis

    cherrybreeze replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

    we had a lady when i worked in the nursing home that had tb in her spine. i can't imagine finding out a patient has leprosy. wow. i can't think of any to share, any that aren't *that* strange,...

  19. patient dies from combination of drugs that doc prescribed. who is responsible?

    cherrybreeze replied to premedwoahs's topic in General Nursing

    until you know what the job entails and actually do it, please don't make assumptions about those who

  20. University of Utah Medical Center implements new dress code

    cherrybreeze replied to pennyaline's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree with some of this, too. *Most* of us can dress ourselves appropriately for work, the problem is the few that can't seem to grasp the concept. They spoil it for all. We have big badges...

  21. When everybody knows your name

    cherrybreeze replied to 313RN's topic in General Nursing

    One more thought, in terms of calling nurses by first name rather than "Nurse Breeze," is that IMO it's easier for the patients to remember. Some of the first names can be hard enough, and with some...

  22. When everybody knows your name

    cherrybreeze replied to 313RN's topic in General Nursing

    It might be regional, I am in Wisconsin. We call patients by their first name at work, but I've also only been called by my first name when I'm a patient, such as in the doctor's office. When they...

  23. Why not a "match day" for nurses?

    cherrybreeze replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell you what, I have gone round and round with my unit managers and the CI's we work with about this issue. On my unit we use automatic BP machines, but I have frequently *suggested* that the...

  24. this hit too close to home...

    cherrybreeze replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

    My grandpa was on the verge of that choice, also (with the family's support). RIGHT before he was going to decide that he'd had his last dialysis, his body decided for him, and he couldn't tolerate...

  25. University of Utah Medical Center implements new dress code

    cherrybreeze replied to pennyaline's topic in General Nursing

    i find this funny. the goal of color coding per title to distinguish employees from each other, but then let's put the docs and housekeepers in the same thing. i don't mind the idea of color...
