Just wondering if any of you gals wear skirts to work. If so, do you have any special reasoning behind it? Comfort....religious belief....? It would be interesting to find out how many online users wear skirts...or dresses.

Been there, done that many times!

time for the oh' so cute baby dance! :dncgbby::lttang: " a baby is god's gift that the world should go on"

Are you being serious? If you are, your fortunate.

I'm so blessed to find that there are other warped nurses out there like me. Suddenly, I don't feel so "special" anymore. There are other "special" nurses out there. Thanks!

YUM-O! French fries anyone? Hmmmm, mashed potatoes?:chuckle

We used to give verbal report to the oncoming nurse, then it changed to taped report. Now, we are going to start reporting at bedside with the oncoming nurse and discuss the patients condition, look over iv sites, dressings, make sure iv bags are ful...

Oh, lets see. It can be scary at times. I have my multi-colored pen (green,red,blue,black), yellow highlighter, black sharpie, scissors, penlight,pack of gum, rolled up paper towel with phone numbers on it (from an admission), couple of post-it notes...

Nightshift here! I love working nightshift because I feel that I can give my patients a "little extra". No dealing with Social Workers, PCM, blah, blah, blah. On my unit, we usually care for 7-8 at night-Oncology/Med-Surg. Lots of FFP, Platelets and ...

Just wanted to add my thoughts. I'm an RN and have worked with many LPN's on a very busy fast paced 31 bed med/surg unit. I have absolutely no problems working with LPN's. In my opinion, we are both equal nurses who have the same goal of providing q...

shave your head...problem solved.

Oh, the sad point is you can end up having a heavier load with a high acuity and the other nurse has a cake walk. I sincerely believe in using a acuity tool. I used it as a charge nurse on a previous 31 bed unit before. Works well.

Days is usually 5 patients and 1-2 nursing assistants. Evenings 5-6 w/one aide. Night shift (oh,glorious nightshift) is 8 patients with one aide. Forget about your pee break! Med/Surg/Oncology Unit.

My heart is really speaking to me to initiate this program where I work. I would have never known that their was such a program if you hadn't posted. Thanks!

I wish our hospital would adopt this into their system. Being a Hospice/Oncology nurse I try my best to be in the room as much as possible when a patient (with no family) is actively dying. My heart aches when I know that a patient passed away withou...

I would pretty much agree with the above post. Self care deficits, dysphagia, some expressive aphasia. My Dad started having seizures and horrible headaches in the 70's. At that point the AVM was inoperable. He was in his 30's at that point. Over the...

Look! It's a bird, it's a plane, NO! it's NURSEGOODBODY and her sidekick CAPTAIN URINAL! She's able to leap over the combative patient in a single bound ! She's quicker than exploding diarrhea. With her magic stethoscope she can restrain the psychoti...

:hehe:

Darn, this is embarrassing....One nightshift I was making my rounds and I felt the most intense urge to..you know.."toot". I didn't want "it" to happen in the hall and I knew I wouldn't make it to the bathroom for privacy. My first impulse was to he...

That's too much!!

:heartbeat hi everyone! i was just wondering if anyone out there in the nursing field has a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. are you under the care of a family medical doctor..a rheumatologist?. what types of therapies are you receiving that are working f...

So glad to hear the Lord worked in his mighty ways for you.

Maybe try placing a 4 x 4 folded lengthwise to the back of the band and attach with paper tape.Maybe this way the plastic band won't touch the patients skin.
