(This is a long rambling vent, forgive me).So I've worked as a nurse on our LDRP floor for almost 5 years (just so we're all aware I should have known better). We are super short staffed right now because we have 3 full timers on our day shift out on...

Maybe with all this overtime money I can retire and move to another country and never show my face on my floor again. Ha!

Thanks for the kind words :) Yeah this had definitely reinforced both of those points for me. I don't think I've ever felt this out of sorts before. Even after sleeping so long last night I feel utterly exhausted. I won't be doing this again! It al...

okay, so i know there are a ton of teas score threads but all i have found are old and mainly full of teas iv score.if you took the teas v i would love to know your score (and program percentile rank if you remember) and whether or not you were accep...

I work on L&D. A few years back a particularly spunky crew was working together. It was time for a delivery so the labor nurse was at the bedside , doctor at the perineum, and baby nurse standing at the counter reviewing the chart before delivery...

I seriously do not understand the mindset of people who think nothing of throwing their garbageand dirty linens on the floor and NEVER picking anything up. Keep in mind I work on pay partum so most of our patients are up moving around along with havi...

I don't want people to think I'm refusing to tidy up. It's frustrating because I've had this patient a few days (actually only the baby is a patient, parents are rooming in) and today my other patients were much more time consuming. I simply did not ...

Holy monkeys this is the most amazing thing I've ever heard...

To each their own but I really feel like when you work on L&D or PP nobody thinks it's weird to see your baby makin'parts. You literally see it every dayp. so unless there's something extra or something missing it's not even on anybody's radar. ...

Not. Even. Close.

Save the embarrassment from asking....urban dictionary it and strut around like you know what it is they just said! Ha ha. I too was unaware of that fabulous new term.

I TOTALLY am guilty of that. Finals? Sure I'll scrub my toilets, vacuum the baseboards, ha and paint my bedroom. I have the time!

Any truly practicing Jehovah's Witness will likely have made their beliefs known at the beginning of whatever medical procedure is to be done. And, if you are still going to ask specifically "are you one of Jehovah's Witnesses?"should do just fine. ...

That is the best thing I've ever heard. Your right, my bad. I kind of had a mini seizure silently laughing at "wizard sleeve" so I wouldn't wake husband. I love expanding my vocabulary!

I prefer "meat curtain"

Everyone knows spring is penis season!

Ha! Was her hand also broken? I've frequently not had a label handy. My hand+a pen+patients name/dob= PROBLEM SOLVED! I can't imagine a situation where you would think that's okay? For some people there simply is no plan B.

Oooh yeah. You can always tell when they are Web MD'ing it. The terminology is always so out of the norm when you look at the entire picture. You have headache, edema, vision changes, and decreased urine output....AND you want a taxi voucher? Ya don'...

Am I the only one who just thought a paleontologist was some new specialist I've never heard of before? Kind of embarrassing actually....must need more coffee. That place sounds awful! I most certainly would be liking for a new job myself.

I kind of have sympathy for this one.... my bladder is the size of a peanut I'm sure. Not till mention my nerves on an interview get the old GI system a movin'. (In response to Viva's comment. I'm electronically challenged today :-) )

What is Theatre? My guess is the OR but Google didn't help. I

Maybe they were drinking hand sanitizer?

As a child of paramedic parents in a small town, I frequently was brought to work. Do I think it was appropriate? Maybe not so much. I remember going out for a call and waiting in the front seat of the ambulance while we picked up a little old lady a...

Their young!

I've never been much for the life sized cutouts (although I was pretty jealous of my cousin's Fabio Lanzoni) but if I did ever get one I think I would get one of myself. $133.95 for 88" of cardboard me to ride in my car. Pretty sweet if you think ab...
