Laboratorian

This is a great idea. I have an ingrown nail problem and I just go to the nail shop and I'm not sure she is supposed to dig them out or not but it sure does look and feel better. If I knew of a RN that did this I would surely go to her.

It seems like the medical community just dumps on nurses who makes mistakes. A common topic on these forums is "I got wrote up" and "I got fired/asked to resign". I have never heard of anyone getting wrote up in the lab because of a mistake. If some...

I was at the clinic today for a checkup and the doctor introduced herself..... "Hi, I'm Dr. Happyface, nurse practitioner." I told her about the debate going on online & in her opinion she went to school and earned a doctorate so she is a doctor.

I'm not a nurse but can I ask a question? Does this "med tech" who passes meds have to sign off on what meds were passed? This sounds strange???

Lock down = free food. I'm in.

Curious as to why you are choosing nursing instead of becoming a physical therapist....?

I'm still not sure why daycare workers wear scrubs. I'm staring to move away from wearing scrubs. We have no formal dress code in my lab. Some do business casual, some do jeans and t-shirts, some do scrubs, some do pajamas. I'm think I'm going to mo...

Welcome to the lab. :)

When I worked 3rd shift at the hospital it was no problem. We had PLENTY of down time. At the time I was working as a phlebotomist and begged for extra training to do something to keep me busy but they felt that a phlebotomist couldn't do anything ...

this is either a joke or you are huffing to much xylene (labrat humor, haha :) ) . how can you possibly compare the petty drama of the lab enviroment to the serious mental & physical stress of working as a rn?

I see no problem with this. A family is a team effort. If I'm clocking 60+ hours a week winning the bread my husband better be baking it, cleaning the oven after cooking it, and feeding it to the kids while I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelax.

What is the difference between a cosmetic procedure and a surgical procedure? Can a NP inject your buttocks with silikon 1000 to make it bigger? A woman showed me a picture of her new booty and said a NP at a "spa clinic" gave her these butt shots of...

1/2 deskjob 1/2 active..............ever thought about the lab? Bloodbank and micro has a lot of butt sitting.

Higher ups need to plan better. I don't know how often your state is hit with disasters but my lab and the hospitals in my state normally will have a weather team in place always. It's always employees who are single or have in home grandmas to take...

Working as a medical assistant at an abortion clinic: products of conception The smell of blood and flesh was just too fresh. Everyone else swore they could not smell it. I was dry heaving all day at work.

Someone needs to start thread on this one. The system is cutting corners in everyway possible.

Hmmmm, I never thought of how an extreme bacterial infection could affect viability. How big are clap cells? That would be funny if the sperm got confused and started digging in a clap cell.

I saw green sperm today. And it was very thick...and very green. It was green sperm. :uhoh21:

Talk about communication breakdown: there is a redneck, a frenchman, and a deaf guy running a department in my lab. ALL HIGHLY EDUCATED AND COMPETENT! But you can't understand a word they are saying. They go at it HOURLY like cats and dogs! You wo...

Best.Post.Ever.

a patient was missing from 12am to 4am (do not ask who was supposed to be doing vitals and labs at this time). found in a closet on a closed wing. got butt booty naked and pulled out some kind of arterial line?/central line? and bleed to death. it l...

Keep mouth shut. Call off day of funeral. Win.
