    Biggest lesson for men: Don't put a ring on your member,

  2. Very Unprofessional....

    whichone'spink replied to Whoatemyburger's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's one thing if he's combative and won't let you clean him up. But to leave him like that for 3 days is

  3. Are you good at charting in "real time?"

    whichone'spink replied to Ativan's topic in General Nursing

    I chart vitals and I/Os in real time but assessments I don't. Frankly, I don't want to get sucked into a patient's room for a long period of time. When I get the first set of vitals, I introduce...

  4. Mistakes Are Inevitable: No One Is Perfect.

    whichone'spink replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I thank the Lord I haven't made a fatal mistake. I've come close though. I once gave Thorazine for a migraine too fast. It came in a piggyback bag, and my preceptor was on my ass to hurry up. I...

  5. Overtime dependent nurses

    whichone'spink replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's never a good idea to depend on overtime to keep your finances in order. I have worked with people who work too many days in a row, and they are extra crispy. Too burnt out to even do their...

  6. Nurses working as CNAs

    whichone'spink replied to nolanurse88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've done it a few times and while it can be hard if there were a lot of total care patients on the floor, it was better than being wholly responsible for a load of 5 patients. Cleaning up poop is...

  7. Do you like your job?

    whichone'spink replied to Toomanyhatsforme's topic in General Nursing

    One job I have come to hate. I love the people I work with but I could care less for the lack of choice in my schedule, the lack of staffing, the threat of mandatory stays every shift, the crappy...

  8. What time do you leave work?

    whichone'spink replied to j0yegan's topic in General Nursing

    At one job, I leave by 7:30. At the other job, I can leave as late as 2 hours after my shift. I work a mix of 8 hour night and day shifts at this second job, but no matter my best efforts to leave...

  9. The Culture of Nursing

    whichone'spink replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I want nurse managers to not wear business casual. I want them to wear scrubs. More so, I want them to get out of the office and get out on the

  10. Too much snow! Getting to work late again.

    whichone'spink replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    On one bad snow storm, my street was not plowed until 2 days after the storm. I had to trek through waist deep snow to a cleared street to catch a

  11. When patients request NOT to have you as their nurse...

    whichone'spink replied to julz68's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You will find that the ones who fire you are the ones you don't want to deal with. It's rarely an indictment of how you are as a nurse. It usually reflect how evil of a person they

  12. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    whichone'spink replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    -Uh, if you hear someone playing that old country song "Take this job and shove it" loudly while they are tearing out of the parking ramp, that would be me :). Or "Moving out" by Billy Joel, I...

  13. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    whichone'spink replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have come to believe these awards are a farce too. I know one nurse who is terrible, but she is very good at kissing the asses of patients and their family. She brings in snacks for them and even...

  14. Lessons From the Super Bowl

    whichone'spink replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Nice post. I'm not a big football fan but WTH happened with the Broncos? They had a good season, and then they got killed. That wasn't a victory, it was a

  15. Ugghhh, another new nurse...

    whichone'spink replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I have received comments that I smile a lot. I don't know what else to do. If I didn't smile, I would probably cry or want to beat the living s*** out of something or

  16. Are they still giving out incentives for nurses?

    whichone'spink replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    At the hospital I'm about to leave, I got $1,000 for relocation expenses. If I was an experienced nurse, I would receive a bonus of $20,000. I don't know if they still offer that or not. Yes, it's...

  17. Theme song to your Nursing career?

    whichone'spink replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm leaving a job I hate, so I've got a few theme songs for this occasions: Done-The Band Perry "You're one bridge I'd like to burn. Bottle up the ashes and smash the urn. I'm through, with you,...

  18. Wage Increases

    whichone'spink replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

    Got a $0.23 raise at my first job. No difference seen on my

  19. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    whichone'spink replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    An education many can do without. Articles by people generalizing a whole group of people born in a certain time period are good examples of terrible writing, full of cliches and tired worn out...

  20. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    whichone'spink replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a new nurse, with a little over a year of experience. But I'm also old fashioned in some sense, and want to be loyal to my employer. When I started my first job in the ER, I wanted to stay at...

  21. Help with resignation letter

    whichone'spink posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've been wanting to do this for a long time. After 6 months of hanging on at a job I have come to dislike greatly, I'm going to resign from this position. I have another part time job that I have...

  22. Help with resignation letter

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unfortunately as much as I want to highlight issues that could use fixing so that my floor truly can be a good floor, I will keep my mouth shut. These issues are well known anyway. It seems that my...

  23. Help with resignation letter

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well I got the resignation letter out of the way. No, I didn't highlight my real reasons for leaving. I want to save that for the exit interview. Now I'm working on how to tone down my responses to...

  25. A praise will brighten up anyone's day.

    whichone'spink replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Hardly got any praise in nursing school that I can remember. Hardly got any praise at my first nursing job. At my second job I have actually been recognized for good work. I don't like this second...
