  1. I want to quit during orientation...

    djh123 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of such a schedule! The 3 12's obviously isn't so bad, but the

  2. Accepting verbal orders from another nurse?

    djh123 replied to amberrenae, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Tied down? With a lil' honey or syrup dribbled too?

  3. Dementia and driving??

    djh123 replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh boy. Tough situation. I wouldn't have thought of what VivaLasViejas did. I guess that's legal... Did you do that anonymously,

  4. Accepting verbal orders from another nurse?

    djh123 replied to amberrenae, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Morphine?!? As they say in TX, 'Hail no!'... I would never, ever, give that on a verbal from another nurse (and when it's not in the

  5. In Defense of the LTC Nurse

    djh123 replied to Oswin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm a bit too tired and distracted to read the whole post, but I agree with what I did read, and am pretty sure I'd agree with all of it. I've also had a couple of those 'Oh' reactions when you tell...

  6. Counting Down

    djh123 replied to WineRN's topic in School

    Every spring, you school nurses make me a bit jealous on here. :^) Then again, my 'countdown' is for retirement, although for multiple reasons, I'm not sure when that'll be at this

  7. "Best Of" Thread

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    That was hilarious. Speaking of prison, this was pretty funny at the time too. A number of years ago, I bought a used Geo Prizm - that's PRIZM - to commute with. It had a problem now and then, and...

  8. Ask Dr. Fever

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Dr. Fever, isn't it true that the answer to 'do I need an incontinence brief?' almost always 'It

  9. Sometimes, it just Stinks

    djh123 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    To me it's almost like trying to ignore pain. When a sudden strong offensive odor hits my nostrils, I try to just kind of shut down the brain's reaction to it, and whether consciously or...

  10. My Colonoscopy

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yeah, I'm gonna be imbibing in Govylently myself later in the year. Had a polyp or two 5 years ago, so ... Maybe I'll get to try that new one, Purge-O-Matic? (Ha

  12. My Colonoscopy

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    My all-time favorite 'prep' name, which I've only heard of once, in the 90's, when a friend had to take it, was 'Evacu-quick'. Kinda leaves nothing to the

  13. DON after hours expectation

    djh123 replied to suey421's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    It depends on who 'important calls' get rotated to, and how often. I know at my former facility the DON got called quite a bit about all kinds of problems. Yeah, in some cases she *asked* to be...

  14. Who cleans the poo?

    djh123 replied to leilo0's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a sequel to "Who Let the Dogs Out"? :^) Seriously ... it's usually the CNA's, but I've cleaned up poop in a pinch several times, and have cleaned up something else at work numerous times...

  15. What would you be in another life?

    djh123 replied to NurseYoshi's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it's been a topic before a time or two, but it's an interesting one. I was a programmer or programmer/analyst for a long time. Then a nurse for the past 5 years. Other tihngs I coulda or woulda...

  16. Would and how would you address no pay raise in over a year?

    djh123 replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    You may work for the same co. I worked for. If I revealed what I was paid, and the TOTAL amount of raises in the time I was there, people would be shocked on here, although different parts of the...

    We all thought they were those gold-foil-covered chocolate ‘coins', but koff-koff, they uh, urrrgh,

  18. Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    djh123 replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    And I thought *I* had had some bad ones at times. I guess maybe I had someone refuse something once or twice, but as a rule, no. But regardless, I was too lenient - with the not-very-good ones, that...

  19. Meyers Brigg, Have you done it?

    djh123 replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    I was borderline on the I and E - like either INFP or

  20. Ethical decision or Patient's right?

    djh123 replied to QuietIsntAWord's topic in General Nursing

    That's a bit of a tough one, and I see why you were conflicted, but I have to go with other posters who said they wouldn't call. The person is A&O and requested that you didn't call. ...actually,...

  22. 3 nursing jobs in 2 years. Unhirable?

    djh123 replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I knew a LPN who was fired form the LTC/Rehab place I worked at, and I think she was fired from another LTC facility, and then ended up at a hospital here, where she still works as far as I

  23. Ask Dr. Fever

    djh123 replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Per the dictionary: Rex1 | reks | noun the reigning king (used following a name or in the titles of lawsuits, e.g. Rex v. Jones: the Crown versus Jones). So. The King does what he wants,

  24. Do these scrubs make my butt look big!?
