  1. As a Nurse, what gives you the willies?

    scribblerpnp replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I LOVE suctioning a juicy trach. LOVE IT! My willies are feet, especially old people with diabetic feet. I hate touching them or looking at them. If I HAVE to touch them I always wear gloves....

  2. How are you judgemental?

    scribblerpnp replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! HA.

  3. How are you judgemental?

    scribblerpnp replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    A little off topic, but this reminded me of something. A couple of years ago (maybe more recently), there was an article about a pregnant woman who was furious about some construction work going on...

  4. am i wrong ahout this?

    scribblerpnp replied to fp nurse's topic in General Nursing

    The the AMA and APA both have websites, which should list this. Also, I'm pretty sure the CDC does as

  5. am i wrong ahout this?

    scribblerpnp replied to fp nurse's topic in General Nursing

    At one point or another. It feels weird and does make you cringe, but I've never seen the child cry harder at that point. You just want to take a good look at the needle when you pull it out to make...

  6. Re:Is your maternal grandfather bald?

    scribblerpnp replied to MANAIG's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My husband is 26 and balding and very hairy. Hubby's dad is NOT balding and normal hairy. Hubby's maternal grandfather was very hairy (same pattern of hairiness as my husband) and began to bald at...

  7. How do I get my child to take medicine?

    scribblerpnp replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    I know it is too late to do anything about it, but could help in the future. When I write for rx for children, I will use the highest possible concentration available to decrease the amount that needs...

  8. am i wrong ahout this?

    scribblerpnp replied to fp nurse's topic in General Nursing

    AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!!!!! They are SOOOOO SOOOOO wrong. When giving an IM vaccine to a peds you must use a one-inch needle. Allergy needles would be OK for MMR and varicella. Think of fat, chubby baby legs,...

  9. Can any Pediatric Nurses help me with a toddler question?

    scribblerpnp replied to earthlynurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    You can develop a food allergy any time. It may be milk, maybe not. Could be an allergy and it is just a coincidence that it came up at the time of the switch. The above poster is right. Usually if...

  10. How are you judgemental?

    scribblerpnp replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    What twerks me off are the parents who bring their sick children to the office and tell me that they don't have the money to buy tylenol, so would I please give them some and invariably they smell...

  11. What is the biggest frustration for nursing students?

    scribblerpnp replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Oops! After reading it again, Siri, I think you are right! I find that nursing students have complained to me about a couple of valid things. 1. Some complain that I have graded something unfairly,...

  12. What is the biggest frustration for nursing students?

    scribblerpnp replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I would like to read these comments as well. Perhaps a Mod should move this thread to the nursing student forum? Just a thought since most nursing students probably don't haunt the educator sites. OP,...

  13. Best route to become a professor

    scribblerpnp replied to reznurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am currently teaching in a BSN program with an MSN degree. I plan on obtaining a doctorate, but I think I will go for a EdD instead of a PhD in nursing. I want a change and a different point of view...

  14. Holiday Gifts: What is appropriate?

    scribblerpnp replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    I love to cook/bake/make candy and thankfully the people I work with don't so they LOVE my "gift baskets" of home-made goodies. It does end up costing about 10.00 per person after I buy the baking...

  15. Shaken Baby

    scribblerpnp replied to royr's topic in General Nursing

    YOU did everything right, CPS did not/ the legal system did not. Once the pediatrician I worked with was called on to testify against the parents about a child abuse case. SHE did everything right as...

  16. What was your first job after becoming an NP?

    scribblerpnp replied to mom and nurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In my case the main problem was simply a difficult employer who promised me orientation in my interview, but I never received it. I could write pages about the things I was promised, but never...

  17. What was your first job after becoming an NP?

    scribblerpnp replied to mom and nurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Mine was in an office setting. Definately sink or swim, The doc who hired me had never worked with an NP before, and I had never been an NP before. Very stressful for both of us! But it doesn't have...

  18. Not sure what to think!

    scribblerpnp replied to Little Panda RN's topic in General Nursing

    Legality aside, I would be wary of a physician with this type of attitude. It often is a VERY BIG warning sign of a difficult boss. The fact that he double books and schedules through lunch means you...

  19. Cure for whiny negative nurses - PET PEEVE game. Always read first post before entry.

    scribblerpnp replied to UKRNinUSA's topic in Nursing Humor

    Pet Peeve: Parent who bring their child in for a runny nose x 1 day. Yes, I know your child has a runny nose. Oh, you DIDN'T try any OTC meds recommended to you by the office nurse instead of coming...

  20. grading written papers / assignments

    scribblerpnp replied to psalm_55's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Ok you WIN! Theory papers are the worst. I hate HATE them. I would truely rather dig out my eyes with a spoon (not really, but you get the idea) :barf01: Thank goodness there are people out there...

  21. grading written papers / assignments

    scribblerpnp replied to psalm_55's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree with you to a point. I have 100 nursing students in one of my classes, and they had thee papers to write this semester. I graded all of them (even through I have two graduate assistants)...

  22. grading written papers / assignments

    scribblerpnp replied to psalm_55's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    OK, here is the update for uor new method of grading papers. It seems that all of the faculty are grading the papers pretty much the same and each faculty member is handing out the same number of A's,...

  23. Lactation Consultants - need your advice

    scribblerpnp replied to gwenith's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I say, if a nipple twist is OK, why not a kick to the groin? That would definately illicit a resonse to check for LOC! (Obviously, I'm

  24. ADN to BSN to NP

    scribblerpnp replied to Brittnbrandon48's topic in General Nursing

    Here is my best guess for an ADN-BSN-NP. 1 year to get the BSN and about two years for the MSN, so three years total at a full-time pace. You can probably find a BSN program on-line which may be...

  25. Reporting abuse

    scribblerpnp replied to aka_steven's topic in General Nursing

    According to most laws, if you EVEN SUSPECT abuse, you MUST notify. CPS is loaded with people who qualify to interpret evens. As nurses, I don't think we are adequately trained about the abuse issue....
