kudos for going against the crowd (and the century), but dude, you're on your own. wear it with pride (yes, we will laugh at you up and down the hall, in front of your back and behind it, too). :)

Maybe I'm ignorant, but I thought it was just men who stuff things up into their lower regions.

Good lord. Have never heard of such a thing. Why??? You'd think the gerbil would thaw out after a while...it's fairly warm in the colon, yes?

What kind of MD admits for constipation x 2 days?? Seriously, with the $ it requires to hospitalize someone?? On the subject of constipation, and while we're talking about weirdness, I knew an aide who "got sick" in the middle of a shift and refused...

I have an interview to work on a bariatric surgical floor (not the OR itself) on Thursday. I'd never considered bariatric - I'm trying to get back home to my home city, so I've been applying everywhere there. My dream job is ICU or stepdown or ER, ma...

Never ending? Lol, and you're a student nurse? You haven't even started and that's what you think? Hug.

responsibility Hmm, that was the first word I thought of upon reading your question; then "power", then "capability", then "flexibility." I'd never tried word association with my job before. It's making me reconsider things a little.

I work night shift, but when I stay over late to chart, I don't notice the dayshifters going on immediate post-report break; they work. FWIW from a night-shifter, I don't quite understand why people on any shift wouldn't be able to figure out that t...

I read somewhere that it's harder to get a job with a phone interview (this interview book wasn't specifically talking about nursing, FYI), because the employer can't get a "feel" for you. My situation is that I'm in Louisiana where I've now been wo...

I just got a call for an interview for PACU/day surgery nursing in 3 days, and I'm not totally sure what PACU nursing consists of... I've been on night-shift on an orthopedic floor for 2 years, am rather bored/plateauing and would like to go to days....

thank y'all :)

I currently have a job on orthopedic/med-surg floor, but I have two interviews coming up. The first is in two days (PACU/day surgery), the second is 6 days after the first interview (stepdown). My question is, if I get an offer from the first intervi...

Thank you. :)

Job description seems to indicate both light and heavier anesthesia - says Day Surgery, but also states cases are neuro, ortho, vascular, and general. You're right, I need this info; I may just wait until the interview in a couple of days and ask th...

You spent some time on that answer! Thank you, poetnyouknowit.

oh, no way! :yeah:but...it does make sense!!

No, gotta disagree, the "lying next to uneaten chocolate chip cookie" is funnier! :yeah:What does it MEAN??

lol. "Dietary, we need a food tray, STAT! Hurry! His life is on the line here!" 'feed and water'? sound like you're talking about a horse! and yes, I see the image of the little old man.

Has the FDA done any trials on giving prednisone to oximetry machines?

OMG! Don't know whether to laugh or be scared by that.

oh, my Lord, I literally laughed out loud when I read this! thank you, Cat_LPN.

Methinks you would like a valium?

No, I was was commenting on professionalism apart from nursing. I was stating that professionalism is the combo of some ethics + manners, and that a bachelor's is not required for professionalism.
