  1. Condom snorting

    djh123 replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    It's things like this that brought about the saying 'You can't make this ****

  2. How much PTO does everyone get?

    djh123 replied to Camino77's topic in General Nursing

    My old job wasn't bad in that respect. Vac/sick at the new job isn't so good, but the HR person (a friend) says she's pushing for

  3. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

    djh123 replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    At the LTC/rehab facility I worked at, families would - on rare occasion - give staff food... someone recently left baskets full of goodies for each unit. And at my new job, a family member gave...

  4. Adults who prefer wearing diapers

    djh123 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I thought maybe it was the title of a new novel by Carl Hiaasen (and with his sense of humor, it could

  5. Treatment of vulnerable patients

    djh123 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I think a nurse who is conscientious and worries whether they did the right thing is almost always better than the one who never even stops to think about

  6. Patient going to send nurse to Concentration Camps??

    djh123 replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you said anything about their mental status. If someone has dementia, Alzheimer's, (in some cases) Parkinson's, multiple personalities - I let whatever they say slide right over me,...

  7. April Fools Jokes

    djh123 replied to cardiacfreak's topic in General Nursing

    A long time ago a co-worker put a note on another co-worker's desk telling them a Mr. L. C. DeCow had called. It was for a diary called Borden's, whose 'logo' cow was called Elsie. I wouldn't...

  8. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    djh123 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Well I'd like to congratulate you for beating the drug problem. One step at a

  9. 100+ attempted IV starts, 3 successes

    djh123 replied to crx971's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you the best in getting over your IV problemas (Espanol for 'problems' :^) - and thanks for the humor too. I'm a bit anxious about this as well. Here's my situation: after several hospitals...

  10. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    djh123 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, I learned a long time ago that rarely can anyone get someone to quit an addiction. Once in a while you'll hear someone say 'so-and-so got lung cancer, and man, I just quit cold turkey', but...

  11. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    djh123 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    For those old enough to remember reading the Peanuts comic strip, and the character Pig Pen, who had a cloud of dirt following him around: that's what it was like for me in the LTC/rehab where I...

  12. Striking image of an 8 yo Hands

    djh123 replied to tining's topic in School

    I totally agree,

  13. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    djh123 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Without saying anything directly about those who still smoke, nurses or not, here's my own & family experience. My parents were great, but they both smoked, which wasn't too unusual in their...

  14. Striking image of an 8 yo Hands

    djh123 replied to tining's topic in School

    Right. I was thinking of that too. And that from what I've read, things like peanut allergies CAN (I'm not saying in all cases, ok?) be a product of a kid growing up in an overly-clean environment...

  15. My Colonoscopy

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    I found it. Pretty good, yeah ... I think I'd seen it quite a ways back, but for those who haven't:

  16. Workplace Sayings

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Remember, Wrongway Regional Medical Center's immortal creed is "There's the Right Way, and then there's the

  17. Workplace Sayings

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome. Reminds me of a great poster I saw in a motorcycle shop in the 70's (yes, I was alive then :^) ... when a lot more people still smoked. It was a skeleton with a cigarette clenched between...

  18. Problems with nursing profession and why I want to quit

    djh123 replied to bravewarrior1's topic in General Nursing

    *Some* of those problems might be present in other careers, but even if not, there will be something else that some people won't like. But on pay, I learned a long time ago that there is little rhyme...

  19. My Colonoscopy

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Mr. steely-eyed Proctological Corp's theme song is (to the tune of Barry Manilow's "This One's For You") is "This glove's for you, wherever you

  20. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    djh123 replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    A number of years ago in TX the Railroad Commissioner, if I remember right, was found to not have the master's degree she claimed she had. She had studied TOWARD it, and had nearly finished, but...

  21. My Colonoscopy

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    And I bet that little red n' white circle on his upper left chest says "Keep Calm and Proct On",

  22. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    djh123 replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    I'd already commented that our 'most trusted profession' thang is still intact because - after all - she's not one of us. But I was just reminded of Peter Gabriel's song of the same name, and here...

  23. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    djh123 replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    I've read that too, and hey, we STILL are, because she's NOT one of us. She was only claiming to be one of

  24. Today....

    djh123 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Don't feel alone. I wasn't trained remotely enough in my former LTC position and was handed the keys, and there I went, learning as I went, and frequently answering questions from mgt. and others by...
