  1. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Lovely. Another non-nurse coming onto a website called "All Nurses" and telling us how we should

  2. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    Nurse Leigh replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    Perhaps you should go back and reread our responses and try to comprehend what we are saying. Night nurses assess patients, come up with appropriate nursing diagnoses, carry out nursing interventions....

  3. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Why why why why why? There are plenty of both brick and mortar places and online stores where proper "items" can be purchased that, if used properly and cleaned, won't melt or try to take root. Okay...

  4. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a tech, you have no concept of the vast amount of documentation licensed nurses are responsible for - and a lot of times, mgmt is more likely to take punitive action against nurses who work over to...

  5. NEWS: The College Network Class Action Lawsuit Filed

    Nurse Leigh replied to monkeyhq's topic in Excelsior College

    I know - I thought everyone Googled everything now. Always good to do your research before signing the

  6. Even the Stoic Have a Breaking Point

    Nurse Leigh replied to Rose_Queen's topic in General Nursing

    How awful. This stuff makes me wish there were a governing body focused on requiring stuff like the post trauma debrief some posters mentioned - not just in the ED or OR but throughout the hospital -...

  7. Onward to Texas!

    Nurse Leigh replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    For some reason, Texas has never been on my "wanna move there" list - likely because of the very reasons your hubby is going to love it. I'm way too liberal for my part of the Midwest. Even though I...

  8. Last minute complaint

    Nurse Leigh replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    Ha! Wonder what they doing their music

  9. Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    Nurse Leigh replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Well I personally think this mess of a thread shows why LICENSED NURSES should be in charge of patient care with aides (CNAs in LTC and PCA types in acute settings) to help with *some* aspects of...

  10. Horrible Treatment at Drug Testing

    Nurse Leigh replied to Maria425's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wouldn't locking the doors while people inside be a HUGE fire safety infraction? I'm no fire marshal, but that just seems

  11. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    Nurse Leigh replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    I myself am in awe of how a baby who is crowning @ 1855 will slide right back up the birth canal and the lady parts just closes itself until 0700 the next day. There's a lot of learning in the

  12. Please help :(

    Nurse Leigh replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to add that while my coworkers and I were almost always short staffed and a call in really made things even more difficult, I think any of us would have rather been at work super short...

  13. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    Nurse Leigh replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Rose_Queen is correct - beejaycee's interpretation would seem to be that no healthcare worker could ever talk about their loved one's health status to anyone, ever. That certainly wouldn't make sense,...

  14. Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    Nurse Leigh replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I've wondered if using something like rubber cement poured over the area, let set and peeled off would work with some of the smaller or more stubborn

    Nurse Leigh replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I never was very good at comprehending

  17. Please help :(

    Nurse Leigh replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry for your loss. I agree with telling her "No, I can't cover for you tonight." Don't apologize for not covering - and you don't owe her an explanation. Take care of yourself.

  18. Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    Nurse Leigh replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Very sad that state laws allow such a low standard of care for one of our most vulnerable populations - and those who own these facilities rake in the

  19. Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    Nurse Leigh replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Heaven knows why, but I actually looked at North Carolina's BON website. Yikes. That is a *lot* of stuff being delegated to UAP. Scary. Curious as to who administers PRN meds (like nitro!) at night...

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget the word -panties-

  21. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    Nurse Leigh replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^^ *snort* Too funny. You know, throughout my college career, I learned how, like our ears, our lady partss are "self-cleaning" and therfore do not require umm, intervention on our part. Yeah, I...

  22. Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    Nurse Leigh replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    OP, I went back and read some of your previous posts/threads. Is this taking place in the same facility where you were a student? I know this is in the North Carolina section, but I am not from there...

  23. Nurse Tries to Eat Another Nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Nursing Humor

    Ah, the Gomer Blog...haven't read too many of the articles but I do know that it is satire. I love some good

  24. I was a cam model. Can I still be a nurse?

    Nurse Leigh replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There's also this thread: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/help-how-extensive-990589.html That thread was stress inducing. I think it gave me
