  1. What do your ER volunteers do?

    2BSure posted a topic in Emergency

    Hey All, Do you have ER volunteers? If not why not? If yes, what do you have them do? Thanks to those who

  2. Do you know anyone who used Nursing as a stepping stone to something else?

    2BSure replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I know a nurse who did a BSN and then became an investment banker -- I did the

  3. You know your pt is a jerk if........

    2BSure replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    OMG! Because he, as a meth addict, is sooooooo

  4. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    2BSure replied to Always_Learning's topic in General Students

    Not necessarily. Our tech college just changed theirs and I have a friend working there. Apparently it was like the "great debate". One of our private college uses all white and I think it looks...

  5. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    2BSure replied to Always_Learning's topic in General Students

    At least your school reminds you to press your scrubs. I think some students forget to look in the mirror before they walk out the door to clinical. No polishing shoes...that is so cute and old...

  6. hostile staff member

    2BSure replied to blondeoverboard's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that you have two options: 1) Stay and feel the need to CYA on a daily basis about everything -- this is NO way to live 2) Seek employment elsewhere Ages ago I worked in a place where I...

  7. who gets medical records for dead/retired doctors offices?

    2BSure replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    I had this exact problem. Apparently the immunization records should be "with the State". They were not and as I didn't live in that state anymore (NY) I wasn't likely to get far with my inquiries....

  8. Stethescopes

    2BSure replied to stborton's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This is fine as long as you are able to keep hold of it during clinicals...good luck with

  9. Uh Oh- background/criminal check!

    2BSure replied to Di Deanna's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am curious...who here has had to submit to a credit check? If you have what kind of facility/position were you going

  10. Im new on this board I have a question about TB testing

    2BSure replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

    One would think so. See my other post. I don't have any statistics to hand so someone here might blast me.... I understand that if you get TB they usually recommend an HIV test. Hopefully your...

  11. Im new on this board I have a question about TB testing

    2BSure replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry so much! Go get the 2 step test (usually your city or county public health dept. does this for a nominal fee (mine is $15). If you get a reaction it can only mean you have been exposed,...

  12. Who is GENERALLY more of a "PAIN"?: Co-workers OR Patients?

    2BSure replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    Work colleagues but only a couple of them (they are very consistent though). At least the patients are sick/injured/in pain -- people not at their best don't behave their best. Now if the question...

  13. Volunteering and Nursing School

    2BSure replied to mochabean's topic in General Students

    Some hospitals, like mine, only require a 2 hour a week commitment. Normally I would encourage everyone in NS to volunteer in a hospital (or similar) but as you already work in one why don't you try...

  14. nursing abbreviations

    2BSure replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Indeed. Ask for the guidance document(s) on this

  15. Narc count---missing meds...

    2BSure replied to michelew/oneL's topic in General Nursing

    You have had some good remarks. If there was no count when you came in then there was no count when someone before you went off. That would make 2 shifts responsible. I am sure you feel sick as a...

  16. Schedule Issues

    2BSure replied to Okami_CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry. This sort of thing is really unacceptable. Maybe next time you need to take a picture with your phone camera (that would be a funny remark if it did not seem necessary). What is...

  17. Done with Pre-reqs.

    2BSure replied to roseglasses's topic in General Students

    Depends on your school. What about electives, have you completed all of those? If you are going to a 2 yr school ask them what transfer agreements they have with the schools providing a BSN...

  18. ER vs. PACU

    2BSure replied to groettger's topic in Emergency

    Loved working in PACU before ED. Everyone in our PACU was always so civil. Love ED too -- I find it more varied and love the

  19. Bright personality required??

    2BSure replied to cherryharlean's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that going bonkers because people go up and touch/rub the bump, without so much as a by you leave, is quite a normal response. I'm just

  20. "And it's all going to be your fault"

    2BSure replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I loved the original post sooooo much I am not going to read anyone else's response in case it spoils

  21. Patients and cell phone cameras

    2BSure replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    We have patients do this in the ER all of the time. I agree with what one poster said -- no pictures of us giving care. I do wish that when I had ARDS a few years ago someone had taken a picture of...

  22. I want to know what nurses think about socialized medicine.

    2BSure replied to ratchet41's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It bores me rigid to have to make the say the same thing over and over again: Actually, I have looked at the tax rates in some of them in great detail and have even posted that information. I...

  23. My frustration with inconsiderate classmates

    2BSure replied to Two Sheds's topic in General Students

    Exactly right! Both students and instructors are responsible. How about this for funny -- I was teaching and this guy's cell phone rang. Not only did he answer it but started having a conversation...

  24. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    2BSure replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I find the whole thing a bit old fashioned. We aren't the same profession as when this started. My school's ceremony was all with the white candles and so on. It was not that different from my...

  25. Why did I go to school to be a nurse?

    2BSure replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    I feel quite lucky. Generally speaking, our doctors do not cosign this kind of bull poop (stuff like the med timings and so on) from patients and
