  1. called me a maid

    OMG I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. I wonder how many people don't get the Oedipus complex part.
  2. Can I still go to school/get hired?

    I'm not sure. Have you checked the BoN
  3. Ecu Con

    An old coworker of mine is going that as well! How is it
  4. My boss is/was the devil!

    Sounds like one of my old ones- refused my leave for delivery of my child, and since I hadn't been there a year (and receive FMLA) I'd have to be fired and then rehired, if my position was still...
  5. Got hurt at work, sad :( and a vent, too...(long)

    I hope you get some relief soon! Can you work a triage position in the
  6. HYPOGLYCEMIA:Seizure...code

    We don't give it if their serum Cr. is elevated. If it's WNL and they're on oral meds (glucophage in particular), they are instructed not to take their glucophage for several hours, b/c combined with...
  7. What are you doing right now ?

    Finishing charting, going to file my charts, also ate "lunch" (cheese crackers and dr. pepper). Pep rally at 2pm (yeah football semi-finals!) so I can file some paperwork in the cumal. folders
  8. Other Mom's... need advice!

    I don't know, but wanted to let you know you're not alone. I'm taking a full course starting in January, work full time, and have a daughter that will turn three in little over a month, and a
  9. This would be the most devastating thing.

    That was very thoughtful of him. That was my thinking of my coworker- I don't think I could enter that room without my personality changing or judgement being
  10. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    That remind me of a nurse I wanted to slap one day. We sent an overdose upstairs, tubed. When the nurses were getting her situated and settled in, hooked to their monitors and the vent, one of the...
  11. Students: Prefer morning or evening clinicals?

    I loved the evening shift. There was less mgt. there, the doctors usually didn't run away with your chart for two hours for rounds, the patients were on the floor instead of off the floor for...
  12. This would be the most devastating thing.

    One of the most recent hospitals I worked in, a coworker lost a young son. The first responders all knew her and some even worked with us in the ER. I was shocked she was able to return to work there-...
  13. "Suspected Child Abuse Team"?

    One of the hospitals I worked at had the "tedi bear team". I don't remember what tedi stood for, but they worked suspected abuse cases. It has a doctor, forensic nurse, child health (can't remember...
  14. Rn to BSN programs in the triangle area

    I'll let you know in a few months! I start in
  15. I google "monthly awareness" and I found a website that lists the awareness themes for the month (Ex- Breast Cancer Awareness Month). I write a small newsletter on Word and send it out at the...
  16. ED shortage?

    I was let off early once. It was Christmas Eve, overstaffed (you were required to work either Christmas Eve or Day), and low census. I was glad too- I had some shopping to finish.
  17. I hope they let you go by without it. Few issues I wanted to add to some other posts I've seen- 1. You're communicable with pertussis BEFORE symptoms start. 2. Your mild cough that persists could be...
  18. While vaccination is something I am strongly for, I like to believe I respect the wishes of those who don't vax. Doesn't make me happy, but to each their own. Speak to the person at the hospital who...
  19. Vibrating veins

    When the vein collapses a little bit, it can create some suction. Sometimes it can make the blood come back
  20. Teachers can "Pinch Hit" for Nurses?

    It all boils down to delegation again. The sad truth is a lot of times we're stretched too thin to ensure the entire cycle of education is continued. We might be able to give some great education, but...
  21. Financial Aid?

    1- Speak to the instructors. A lot know of great information for scholarships. 2- Won't help now, but start saving. My husband and I are doing the Dave Ramsey program to eliminate our debt. We did...
  22. Wonder if I should have a part time job?

    I like the idea of working prn in the ER instead. It is possible- we had a nurse who hadn't worked in 8 years come to the ER to do prn. When she had worked before, she worked med-surg. She had taken...
  23. Instructor asking for students to withdraw

    Exactly! Never step on the toes that might be attached to the butt you have to kiss one
  24. Nursing with a latex allergy?

    I worked with several nurses with latex allergies. One would break out if she wore her Littman around her neck too long! I guess it depends on the hospital. Both of the ones I worked at had nitrile...
  25. Tyrant Nursing instructor

    I agree with what's been posted so far. There seems to be one in every school. LOL Keep this in mind- if she is being reviewed for her performance or has any displinary actions pending with the...
