  1. Best travel companies

    TennNurse replied to Smalltowngirl's topic in Travel

    I have been with Liquid Agents only for a couple of months. I moved there after trying out a couple of different ones, and I have found Neal to be the most professional, go-the-extra-mile recruiter I...

  2. Best travel companies

    TennNurse replied to Smalltowngirl's topic in Travel

    Neal Roberts at Liquid Agents is just the most amazing recruiter in this universe. You know the 15+page application most agencies want you till fill out online? Every job, immunization, supervisor...

    It means "Do Not

  4. Nobody Likes A Tattle Tail

    TennNurse replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    THANK YOU!!! This is the one thing I can never figure out. HOW do some people have so much time on their hands that they can observe every nuance of another employee's behavior? WHY do managers not...

  5. Dumbest rule in your hospital?

    TennNurse replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl::roll:roll:roll Am getting weird looks from co-workers laughing at

  6. How can I become SANE?

    TennNurse posted a topic in Forensic

    Hey, y'all, I have been out of the allnurses loop for awhile, actually out of nursing at all for a very brief time, for a fabulous reason- I have the most gorgeous little baby girl! As much as I...

  7. Need some good summer reads!

    TennNurse replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with DeepFried on the Outlander series. The heroine is a smarta$$ WW2 nurse who later goes to medical school, so in addition to the historical drama and the very fine Scotsman Jamie, there is...

  8. How can I become SANE?

    TennNurse replied to TennNurse's topic in Forensic

    Penguin and Cardiac, thanks! I will get started looking into these. Turns out Memphis has a really good rape crisis center. Not sure exactly what this says about our fair

  9. How do I get started?

    TennNurse posted a topic in Legal

    Hey, y'all, I am 34 1/2 weeks pregnant and another ER nurse recently mentioned to me the field of consulting. My knowledge of it is scant, but I know I am not looking to get rich off it; I'd also...

  10. ER nursing and pregnancy...

    TennNurse replied to ND76's topic in Emergency

    Congrats! I am 31 weeks pregnant today, and in an ER with 50 or so beds as well. Once you get to where you start really showing, you will be pleasantly surprised by how little you are allowed by...

  11. Rules for the ER (long)

    TennNurse replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    When you come to the ER, you do not get to handpick the MD who will see you. If you are sick enough to be here, you will not care who makes it go away. If not, then there is a real handy system in...

  12. Rules for the ER (long)

    TennNurse replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Also, do not ride in the ambulance past 3 other hospitals to come clutter up my night with your diarrhea woes, which started about 6 hours after you took 2 LAXATIVES!!!!!! When your discharge papers...

  13. add your funny TRIAGE complaints from pts

    TennNurse replied to er nursing's topic in Emergency

    We're getting a lot of Le-a's as well. I am amazed by how upset these moms get when the correct pronunciation of the name does not immediately fly off the tongue. My day began with "Last night I took...

  14. "Love notes" reappear in a staff meeting

    TennNurse replied to confused101's topic in General Nursing

    A facility I worked at once actually took the time to dig around for the exact monetary cost of omissions, like if you remembered to chart on paper an IV fluid end time but not on the computer. Then...

  15. "No, I am not pregnant"

    TennNurse replied to Tysmommy's topic in Nursing Humor

    God, I LOVE this! A sigh, slight dip of the head, then a gentle, "We were waiting for the right time to tell you... Oh, he hasn't told you???" It's late. Folks in my family tend to get a little...

  16. Anybody know anything about Medical Express?

    TennNurse posted a topic in Agency Nurses

    A few weeks ago I was contacted by a travel agency called Medical Express. They have offered some incredible options, and I am seriously considering taking them. The man I talked to identified the...

  17. Sweet Dreams, Baby! Tell us about your strange dreams r/t nursing

    TennNurse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    My last job, I worked 11a-11p, 12 of the most hectic hours in the ER. Frequently I'd get home near midnight, get to bed around 200a, and start dreaming that I still had my patients, but since I was...

  18. Working with angry unstable incompetent RN

    TennNurse replied to pedsRN121's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, my God. The exact same thing happened to me. It wasn't an RN, but I worked with an employee who was more than competent, but would deliberately undermine patient care whenever she could if the...

  19. Songs to play in the Waiting Room

    TennNurse replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in Emergency

    "Here's a Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares" Travis Tritt, for the whiny complainers of a superficial rash they've had for 6

  20. New director is a nazi

    TennNurse replied to olddog1's topic in Emergency

    Despite the obvious disadvantages of being the lone dissenter, I have to go with the OP on this one. Certainly no one literally equates an out-of-control micro manager with an anti-Semite guilty of...

  21. It's easy: Tamper with things and EXTEND your STAY!

    TennNurse replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Well, a patient in one of our sister hospitals did some tinkering around and shortened his stay. Policy used to require that we dispose of needles in the sharps container, syringes in the garbage...

  22. Funny patient names by nurses

    TennNurse replied to Kidrn911's topic in Emergency

    We had a patient who was bad off enough that we needed to contact her PCP. She said she saw an NP named Harriet Johnson. We looked, could not find any such person, so I went back and clarified with...

  23. getting in trouble at work

    TennNurse replied to jessiesita's topic in General Nursing

    i could not agree more. recently a new graduate (undeservedly very impressed with herself) to whom i was giving report was obviously not getting my explanations of how to deliver an iv antibiotic to...

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