    Has anyone here ever worked at Disneyland as an R.N.? Pros/cons? All feedback appreciated. Thanks in

  2. Good hospitals in OC, CA.

    ManEnough posted a topic in California Nursing

    Greetings! I posted this on the main forum but thought I might get some good replies here too. I am looking to relocate to Orange County, CA. as a new RN grad and would appreciate any input on the...

  3. Any Former ER Nurses Here

    ManEnough replied to Fiesta Red's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I made the transition from ER to hospice and it's the single greatest decision I ever made. Before: 12.5 hour shifts (when I got out on time), working every other weekend, one 30 minute break a shift...

  4. Starting Ed Soon

    ManEnough replied to SeriphumRN2b's topic in Emergency

    I agree that asking questions is the single most important thing to remember. Also remember that if someone makes you feel stupid for asking a question, they're the stupid one. Good

  5. Nursing at Disneyland

    ManEnough replied to ManEnough's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. I've heard similar accounts elsewhere. Along with the fact that a lot of the guests begin mentioning lawsuits the moment they get injured. As for the question...

  6. What's the dumbest remark you've heard yourself make...

    ManEnough replied to KidsRNstill's topic in General Nursing

    I was getting an appy ready to go to the OR and took his temp. He had a fever of 102.4. I told him we'd have to do a Tylenol suppository and gave him the option of doing it himself. "Yeah, I'd...

  7. Flu Season

    ManEnough replied to Rollins's topic in Emergency

    :icon_roll :icon_roll i soooo hear ya! and we have doctors that order full septic work-ups for every kid with a fever (presumably 'cause they were sued once when a kid with a 99.8 fever ended up...

  8. Your least favorite patient.

    ManEnough replied to errn7's topic in Emergency

    MDs as patients. Give that smelly homeless drug addict ANY day over the "do you know how easily I could get you fired?"

  9. Enpc

    ManEnough replied to ernurse728's topic in Emergency

    I found it interesting and not at all difficult. Not nearly as instense as ACLS or

  10. HELP!!! with ACLS Drugs!

    ManEnough replied to Town & Country's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for pointing this out. When I took ACLS the first time I was so overwhelmed by all the information. And all those catchy phrases and abbreviations are not nearly as useful as one might think....

  11. I'm thinking about trying to get pregnant and start nursing school? Yes or No?

    ManEnough replied to rayofsunshine's topic in General Nursing

    For what it's worth, all my plants died when I was in nursing school. And that was only first semester.

  12. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    ManEnough replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    This thread has made my day! If we're going to talk about fashion emergenices in medicine, I've seen far worse than some creepers popping out of my male collegues' tops. If we're gonna make a rule...

  13. Scared to start an IV

    ManEnough replied to shortsteph12's topic in General Students

    Earlier this year when I started out as a new grad, starting IVs TERRIFIED me. I wanted to puke every time a patient needed one. It's been said on here before time and time again.. the only way to...

  14. Do nurses really eat their young?

    ManEnough replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    I think it might be worth looking into another hospital. All through nursing school, I was told that "nurses eat their young" as some kind of justification for all the s**t we put up with from the...

  15. And Now.....What Do You LIKE to Do At Work?

    ManEnough replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Giving pain meds to a screaming kidney stone pt. It's one of those few times where the smallest intervention will be remembered for

  18. Personality traits suited for ER??

    ManEnough replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Emergency

    So many brilliant posts. I'm still deciding if ED nursing is for me (I'm heavily leaning toward "no" for many of the reasons posted.. the never-ending chaos, the drug seekers, the angry, often dumb...

  19. How many hours in your shift?

    ManEnough replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I do 12 hour shifts in an extremely busy ED. When I first took the job I was so excited about having 4 days off a week. I wasn't thinking about just how grueling those 12's can be! It's especially...

  20. What do you HATE to do at work?

    ManEnough replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in General Nursing

    Inserting NG tubes. If I had an entire lifetime to come up with the most cruel thing to do to someone, I couldn't come up with a better device. My entire family knows that if one is ever ordered for...

  21. Your perception of student nurses when they visit your hospital?

    ManEnough replied to avery's topic in General Nursing

    I see it just like the cycle of abuse. When you've been abused you have two options: 1) pass on the abuse to the next generation or 2) stop the cycle and make a conscious effort to not treat others...

  22. Nursing School Advice Needed

    ManEnough replied to Azalia's topic in Nursing Career

    You'll see that many of us on here (myself included) recieved degrees in other fields before moving on to nursing. When I was choosing nursing schools, I had the same concern of "overkill" in getting...

  24. another NCLEX story

    ManEnough replied to paula77720's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also took the NCLEX this week and I'm equally upset! I walked out of there absolutely speechless. I did Kaplan, consider myself to have a very solid knowledge base, yet some of those questions...

  25. Can someone tell me how 12-hr shifts work?

    ManEnough replied to LPNalmost!'s topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital we work 6 twelve-hour shifts per pay period (every two weeks). Many people chose to take on extra shifts but 6 is the requirement to maintain full time status. Since we do...
