  1. $900 for an Echocardiogram

    THAT Nurse. replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Only 900 for an Echo? I had one done a few years ago, when I was considerably more ignorant about things, and depended on the physician referral (and, funny to look at now, I work for this company...

  2. Doctors getting angry??

    THAT Nurse. replied to emtj's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh he could call me at home, but he wouldn't do the majority of the yelling. If I got in trouble over it, I think it would probably be for enjoying it too much and gloating about

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

    THAT Nurse. replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    They required a prostate exam for you to go to nursing

  4. Doctors getting angry??

    THAT Nurse. replied to emtj's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My packaged response to a childish tantrum is "You are pretty puny, you shouldn't have such a hard time getting over yourself" as I walk away/hang

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

    THAT Nurse. replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Med-Surge, non telemetry, and generally no oncology either. GI mostly. We are kind of blessed on my floor, two women who are Grandmothers are just dang beautiful. The younger ones are just WOOHOO. In...

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

    THAT Nurse. replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Yah, ERs tend to have good attitudes. However, my floor actually has some pretty good humorists, the women are pretty AND laugh at my jokes. Even the crappy c-dif covered

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

    THAT Nurse. replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    No, I actually wrote that. They did not say a word, they accepted it. I admit, just for laughs I almost said because I was afraid of

  8. Doctors getting angry??

    THAT Nurse. replied to emtj's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think this story has been posted before. My attitude is still the same, I don't care if I step on some self-righteous

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

    THAT Nurse. replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    It does not matter how deeply rooted your beliefs are, if a person wants no injections because they want no injections, that is their call. A few weeks ago I refused a flu vaccine. Why? In writing, I...

  10. How to keep shoes white?!?!

    THAT Nurse. replied to Raebeth's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Alcohol wipes. The little 1 inch square things we use to clean patients skin before injection. About 6 of those and I can get 90% of the crud off of my shoes in about 5 minutes. Is not perfect, but it...

  12. Do You Wear a Lab coat?

    THAT Nurse. replied to L3Janit0r37's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have sometimes. Generally no, cause it gets in the way. My pants have tons of pockets for me. Also, I have enough patients who think I am a physician, even though I am still a

  13. Dealing with excessively dry hands.

    THAT Nurse. posted a topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why, but in the last year or so my hands have gotten a lot dryer than usual. Normally, dry rough hands wouldn't bother me, except it has gotten to bad that around three square inches on...

  14. Dealing with excessively dry hands.

    THAT Nurse. replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    Viva, MRSA was the second concern I had. HIV going in was the first, we have had a rash of both kinds of patients on my floor recently. That said, I am unconcerned with anybody calling it a girly...

  16. Co Worker and snide comments

    THAT Nurse. replied to srleslie's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wear my hair a bit shorter than you pictured. No complaints

  18. "I love it when a man takes a woman's job."

    THAT Nurse. replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Men in Nursing

    Haven't heard the word gnarly in a while. As an aside, I hate being hugged too. What is funny is the female patients do it, and the female nurses always chuckle. At least guy patients understand a...

  19. Evaluated as a woman?

    THAT Nurse. replied to TomCCRN1991's topic in Men in Nursing

    If it affected the size of my annual raise, and I lost money because women did not like the fact I was a guy, I would take advantage of the sex discrimination laws. I am thankful though, I work in a...

  21. new corporation investigating health care workers

    THAT Nurse. replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    I might have told the school to get bent, they want to run things like a credit check on you. The background check is no big deal at all, I can understand considering the drugs we deal with. But a...

    THAT Nurse. replied to hkwal's topic in General Nursing
