    I dont think ICU is for me:(

    Vespertinas replied to Bradydown's topic in MICU, SICU

    Oh no wonder! You're still in a position where you should be learning from seniors and now you've been robbed of that very rewardig experience. Plus your lack of confidence is also no wonder since...

    Favourite Doctor Moments

    Vespertinas replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really? I find that a little more unusual than the rest. All the endocrinologists I've met are very particular and the patients they consults are more complex than average so I'm surprised he was...

    Pain management post open heart surgery?

    Vespertinas replied to twinkletoes53's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Sometimes the pain is musculoskeletal from their positioning during surgery. This will usually arise in the shoulders and upper back. Instead of increased narcotics, your relative may benefit from a...

    What do you go by?

    Vespertinas replied to Flare's topic in School

    Enjoy the recognition! It reminds people and children who a nurse is and what she does and looks like.

    Fought the good fight...

    Vespertinas replied to cincin1's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe it's getting to this point. It was a bit of a reality check when new grads would have to job search for 6 months before landing one... but to start hearing a trend of those giving up...

    Can knowing an RN/LPN on a floor help get you a job?

    Vespertinas replied to mell260's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    At the last hospital I worked, I got the job through back avenues. It was complicated and the hurdles I had to jump made a funny story. Prior to getting that job I had submitted many applications...

    What do I say to rude patients?

    Vespertinas replied to floatRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you. You'd be surpirsed how many times I've gotten a patient who is riding me all morning and by the afternoon I ask, "Do you take anything at home for anxiety?" and 9/10 the answer will be...

    Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

    Vespertinas replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    Well one argument is that nursing isn't as physical as major league sports. But for the record, if an athlete was overweight but performed well in the scouting combines they get drafted nonetheless....

    Late name change. Worried.

    Vespertinas replied to KnJkirk's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to do mine altogether. When I applied to a new job with my new name, somehow it got automatically updated and I didn't hear a peep. Between credit cards, driver's license, bank accounts,...

    Favorite Dr or Nurse Name

    Vespertinas replied to sethmctenn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Dr. Fundus, not an OB and a very no-nonsense surgeon named Dr. Campos whose real last name was Campos de la Borbolla which translated means fields of bubbles! After traveling to Spain recently, I...

    Open Heart Recovery Training

    Vespertinas replied to CRIMSON's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    That sounds lovely. A big name CTICU I was associated with had nothing of the sort. The nurse manager there was not the type to utilize positive reinforcement, to put it lightly. I somewhat don't...

    Is this nitpicking or does the instructor dislike her?...

    Vespertinas replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    That student was informed of the uniform policy before she arrived for clinical that day. The student chose to leave it in and take her chances. Your instructor still sounds

    How about your favorite Old Wives Tales related to health?

    Vespertinas replied to NurseyTonyaLPN's topic in Nursing Humor

    In my family/culture it's bad luck to show things on yourself (regarding ill health). Since I started nursing school, I was ALWAYS demonstrating wounds/drain/incisions on myself to describe something...

    Unappreciated by the patient's family

    Vespertinas replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Turning around and walking away can be justified as avoiding an abusive situation. Body language with attitude will just be fuel for the fire. I understand you were angry but if your practice is being...

    Nursing classes are easy...

    Vespertinas replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    To those who cite family as a factor that makes nursing school hard, my response is that it has nothing to do with nursing school per se. Family can be an interfering factor in ANY school. It's...
