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

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

    I've had loved ones in the hospital a lot - especially my mother - and I tend to give the staff the benefit of the doubt and have explained to other family members what can be going on behind the...

  2. I need advice please! Urgent.

    Nurse Leigh replied to patientbutterfly's topic in General Nursing

    Especially since OP wrote another post regarding entry to a nursing program in December of *2014*. So not even a new

  3. Male nurse in injectible/botox

    Nurse Leigh replied to malenurse2010's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, a steady hand would be good - much prefer that over

  4. Male nurse in injectible/botox

    Nurse Leigh replied to malenurse2010's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the plastic surgeons and dermatologists around here tend to be male, so I see no issue. A lot of massage therapists are also

  5. Better Looking females get better grades?

    Nurse Leigh replied to sadbuthappy's topic in Nursing News

    Just think how different life would have been if you'd also gotten a Dolly Parton rack! ( • ) ( •

  6. Need Blog by a Pediatrician?

    Nurse Leigh replied to huffmannurse's topic in School

    Okay, here is the full video the guy made - couldn't find the scene from "Outrageous Acts of Science" where they discuss the video and crazy guy who did this. Enjoy. Or

  7. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    Nurse Leigh replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    Overall, I don't think you have any realistic understanding of anything we've tried to

  8. OMG.....How Did This Happen !!

  9. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    Nurse Leigh replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    Seriously?

  10. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    Nurse Leigh replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    I remember in a unit meeting when our less than loved manager made the comment that "Patients are asleep at night" I guess as a way to justify our crappy staffing. Even the nurses who've never...

  11. DR fail

    Nurse Leigh replied to serenitymmason's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've only worked tele, but it sounds like you performed to the best of your abilities in the situation. I agree you probably felt nervous and clumsy during your first codes in adult acute care, and...

  12. so many falls!

    Nurse Leigh replied to qcnursingstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Even with improved staffing not all falls can be prevented - I swear it seems like some people are bound and determined to get up and then fall. It's not like we can tackle them to the bed! If...

  13. Failed NCLEX RN 7 times. Need help. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Nurse Leigh replied to nursetobe911's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with Rose Queen. Failing a minimum competency exam seven times is not a good sign. Did your program not prepare you? Most programs really focus on teaching students *how* to answers NCLEX...

  14. Need Blog by a Pediatrician?

    Nurse Leigh replied to huffmannurse's topic in School

    My geeky self enjoys several shows on Science channel - one of which is "Outrageous Acts of Science" where clips from the Internet are shown and various scientists (astrophysicists, biologists,...

  15. Even the Stoic Have a Breaking Point

    Nurse Leigh replied to Rose_Queen's topic in General Nursing

    Good to hear. And I'm glad to see that mgmt realizes the need to let you know the child's progress regardless of HIPAA issues - sometimes knowing you gave a child a fighting chance is more important...

  16. Underage drinking question? please help

    Nurse Leigh replied to xjay22's topic in General Students

    If someone quoted them in a post, that entry shows the quote with the name the member used at that time, even if the name was later

  17. Even the Stoic Have a Breaking Point

    Nurse Leigh replied to Rose_Queen's topic in General Nursing

    (((hugs))) So sorry this tragedy occurred. You and your colleagues are in my

  18. Do you stalk anyone here?

    Nurse Leigh replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I tend to read through the previous posts of some members to try to get a better understanding of them and their circumstances. Or when someone seems familiar and I reread previous posts and...

  19. Why are nurses so backbiting?

    Nurse Leigh replied to RNBSN1591's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sure there are differences between men and women. But I don't think of it as one gender being superior to the other. In nursing I've enjoyed almost all my coworkers - and it wasn't due to gender that...

  20. Advice!!

    Nurse Leigh replied to CarlHester's topic in Men in Nursing

    A lot of nurses (myself included) think the NURSE part of nurse practitioner is pretty important. What one learns from practicing as a nurse for a substantial amount of time is often what makes a...

  21. Weekend option non-bedside positions?

    Nurse Leigh replied to calivianya's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked into being a rounding nurse for a specialty at local hospitals? Some hire weekend nurses and instead of working with one provider they work with whichever provider is on that

  22. Pass California NCLEX-RN in 60 Questions

    Nurse Leigh replied to 2mint's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So you think getting three SATAs in a row has some special meaning? If so, no idea how you got that

  23. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

    Nurse Leigh replied to Dogen's topic in General Nursing

    A few posters have mentioned this being good for reasons other than hangovers. After some thought, I can see how this might be a good service for some PCPs to offer to established patients - maybe...

  24. Pass California NCLEX-RN in 60 Questions

    Nurse Leigh replied to 2mint's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree. And why title this "California"- the NCLEX is a national exam. And I'm still confused with the whole "special SATA" thing. I too passed in 75 questions on my first and only attempt. I did...

  25. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

    Nurse Leigh replied to Dogen's topic in General Nursing

    Have you guys seen those "oxygen bars" before? You can choose flavored/scented O2 if desired.
