  1. Blow out at the desk, who was at fault? both share blame I think?

    Reborn replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are thinking right. I think 6-9 mos is more than enough time to know that as an RN, one is RESPONSIBLE for one’s patient’s. DUH! That is something you learn in school. My preceptor...

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

    Reborn replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Actually, more likely the local moron brothers getting into over a football game and one shot the other in the gut. I was very burnt out OR nurse and also not a Christian when I was called in for such...

  3. You know you've been a nurse for way too long when...

    Reborn replied to jalvino1's topic in General Nursing

    These a few a little more tongue in cheek (maybe ) You advocate airiel spraying of prozac. You are able to identify the postive teeth-to-tattoo ratio. You think a Xanax "salt-lick" should be put in...

  4. *rant* "Nurse" at office answering questions.

    Reborn replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ditto NC. But it is a problem. The CNA's in home health or even the personal care aides, which in some companies are simply OFF THE STREET help , just LOVE to call themselves nurses. I'm not even...

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

    Reborn replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I agree too, that this is usually a good thing. Except when you get a couple of brain surgeons who think they are para-gods like my sis did after she delivered at home COMPLETELY unattended. When 911...

  6. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    Reborn replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes, we are definitely obligated, not only legally but ethically, (notice I didn't say morally, can't impose our own moral standard on anyone else, right?) to report suspected abuse, but as...

  7. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    Reborn replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    On this I totally agree. I did correctional nursing for 4 yrs and the prison's are full of the results of this kind of "background", caused by the parents "lifestyle choices" and "parenting styles"....

  8. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    Reborn replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there are many different "groups" of people with different "lifestyles" all across the country who are living on welfare and medicaid dollars paid in by those of us that work and care for them....

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

    Reborn replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    :rotfl: In what order??

  10. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    Reborn replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    What IS it about then? AzMic: You asked about giving up my God. I really didn't read the question of the original post or the one I was asked as such. But even if so, no, nothing puts me off on the...

  11. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    Reborn replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    I guess we posted at about the same time, while I was expanding my last post. Thank you for asking my opinion. Well, I have never really thought about that question from the POV you ask. I have...

  12. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    Reborn replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    Most people? Sorry, but how do you figure that? Isn't that your own opinion? Why project what you think on "most people". Sorry, but I find that offensive. And you know what else? This whole thread is...

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

    Reborn replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    :rotfl: NNUUHHH-UUHHHH!!!!!!!!!

  14. Husband appaled when I chose to do nothing

    Reborn replied to JacelRN's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: they're everywhere, they're everywhere

  15. CPR after rigor mortis

    Reborn replied to HealinghandsRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As unbelievable as it is, I actually saw this in a 200 bed hospital. It was on the med-surg floor, and buddy roe's head nor feet would not touch the bed when the bed was flattened, from being in a...

  16. More Evidence That This World Is Full Of Complete Idiots:

    Reborn replied to AmyB's topic in Nursing Humor

    Sorry to double dip but I got sent some more, these are good :rotfl: ONE. Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked...

  17. More Evidence That This World Is Full Of Complete Idiots:

    Reborn replied to AmyB's topic in Nursing Humor

    This one really scared me But at least the gene pool is closed in his case :chuckle LONDON (Reuters) - A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the...

  18. Meet the Fockers

    Reborn replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but don't leave out the part about their PARENTS allowing it ( the REAL

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

    Reborn replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I love these tales, they are so painfully true. The whole bottom line (in NC anyways) is they don't HAVE to pay, period. If they don't have Mediciad, which most do (which is why I pay $1700.00 a...

  20. Can't take anymore

    Reborn replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Is that was it was?????????

  21. Can't take anymore

    Reborn replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I always call this situation (and I HAVE THE T-SHIRT!), :) "The Light at the End of the Tunnel Syndrome". When we begin a journey, we don't focus much, if at all on the end. As we go along, we...

  22. Lingo

    Reborn replied to JACALA_CL's topic in Emergency

    I sure am glad you added that! :chuckle Iwas hoping you were not so dead serious all the time, especially in a place meant for camaraderie, fellowship, and decompression amongst nurses. Being that...

  23. Productivity requirements

    Reborn replied to mikaylamom's topic in Home Health

    Totally OUT of Home health!!! Finally found a decent paying office job :) But I liked helping people in their homes, I usually felt very "needed" (most times :wink2:

  24. Productivity requirements

    Reborn replied to mikaylamom's topic in Home Health

    Gee, I KNEW I was being abused. June 2001-Aug 2002, I worked full-time (salary) and was expected to to do least 30 per week, with only an admission or a visit over 2 hours counting as "2". I was also...

  25. GETTING WRITTEN UP: What is the most ridiculous thing you have been written up for?

    Reborn replied to greeneggsnham's topic in General Nursing

    You won't believe this, but I was a staff developement co-ordinator at a LTC facility, where my father had been placed for short term re-hab after Post CABG MI and subsequent complications, and after...
