  1. junior high student thinks she is pregs

    Nurse Leigh replied to crazynursebsn's topic in School

    I know those suckers can be persistent. I've heard similar stories, and I imagine that there have been people engaging in anal sex that resulted in pregnancy due to the traveling sperm. Not terribly...

  2. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    Nurse Leigh replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    Or worse yet, if in certain ICUs are "bed baths" using only those chlorhexidine wipes. (On our floor, they were just used pre-op.) Sticky, and I would see them stored in the warmers which I thought...

  3. The film: Vaxxed.

    Nurse Leigh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    And he *still* has people who like him. Guess there is no helping some

  4. The film: Vaxxed.

    Nurse Leigh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    This has gone beyond the point of ridiculousness. Some posters seem unable -or unwilling - to absorb actual facts. Frightening that some of them were supposedly practicing

  5. The film: Vaxxed.

    Nurse Leigh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    True. Though a lot of us shake our fists at Jenny McCarthy. Ummm....strippers in the background? Men and women for equal eye candy? Some people in those furry animal costumes for those that swing...

  6. The film: Vaxxed.

    Nurse Leigh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps what we need is a film explaining the history of vaccines and their world changing effects. Talk to people who had polio and still suffer from the ravages of the disease. Hear from the many...

  7. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

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

    UC stands for unicorn, right? Because unit clerks were about as rare as unicorns at my former hospital. I think ours came for a few hours a couple of days a week. Then, when we went to CPOE, admin...

  8. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    Nurse Leigh replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to see her try to keep the sheets most places use these days to lay flat with no wrinkles. The best is when they shrink and you need to use your whole body weight to pull them over the...

  9. junior high student thinks she is pregs

    Nurse Leigh replied to crazynursebsn's topic in School

    Glad she's not pregnant, but hope her provider checked her for STIs and explained the risks of unprotected sex. (If she did see a gyn. then I can't imagine this would not have occurred.) Sad this...

  11. Boldness to Speak

    Nurse Leigh replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Yep. And I'm not an atheist; I just have issues with the way organized religion sometimes (often?) is used as a weapon rather than a bridge. I actually enjoy intellectual conversations about...

    Nurse Leigh replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Weird how some posters seem to be coming out of the woodwork. The work of angels?

  14. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    Nurse Leigh replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    Wowza. You should have recorded those lectures - would have gone viral. That's a lot of what

  15. Aspiring Nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, why is it in many other fields, when an employee leaves, you know another will be hired to fill that position - sometimes having the outgoing employee help train the newbie during their notice....

  16. The struggle from a student who's mom is the school nurse :)

    Nurse Leigh replied to loveschoolnursing's topic in School

    Omg...I remember when I took interpersonal communication as a pre req and our instructor had us list all the slang terms we could think of for both male and female genitalia. Goodness, it is shocking...

  17. Boldness to Speak

    Nurse Leigh replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Just because *you* believe it is the only way does not mean others agree with you or should be told their way is

  19. Aspiring Nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, while I eschew the phrase "nurses eat their young" (not the case!) a lot of what you read on that forum is correct. Nursing school can be very difficult for some people - it relies strongly on...

  20. Boldness to Speak

    Nurse Leigh replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I actually think it is out of respect and due to boundaries more than "political correctness" Not sure if you've heard, but not everyone is a Christian. People who are strong in their own faiths...

  21. Wow! What a difference!

    Nurse Leigh replied to mtjoanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ok well, concern for your welfare sounds nice and caring - much better than the previous issue you

  22. Night Nursing: Precepting and Perception PART 2

    Nurse Leigh replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    Weird. I remember your post and I didn't see any evidence of an open mind on your

  23. Wow! What a difference!

    Nurse Leigh replied to mtjoanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    May you continue to enjoy your job, and may your new supervisor never appear at your door (unless, ya know, you invited

  24. Is tipping allowed?

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

    I'm not sure what you are complaining about. I mean, I bet you got to clean up the mess when you got to work, and the smell of pizza lingered even though only a couple half masticated crusts...

  25. No pain meds in ER??

    Nurse Leigh replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Emergency

    There cannot be a one size fits all solution with pain. And our approach(es) need to be multi
