  1. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    CFitzRN replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    "Ceiling Cat" - hahahaha!! I love icanhascheezburger

  2. why do doctors order more vitamin d tests than anything?

    CFitzRN replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know - milk is from a cow (or goat, or human, or whatever); all are natural, organic "substances" for lack of a better word. Which makes milk a natural substance. It is not artificial. And...

  3. How many people really keep in touch after nursing school?

    CFitzRN replied to ERsn's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt it's you - people are just like that. I think most people get really caught up in their lives and don't realize this life is fleeting, and we should spend as much time as we can being with...

  4. How many people really keep in touch after nursing school?

    CFitzRN replied to ERsn's topic in General Nursing

    I had a great group in nursing school. One was my bff - we had never met before, but instantly became best friends. We still are, though we don't get to see each other very often because of...

  5. How many people really keep in touch after nursing school?

    CFitzRN replied to ERsn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I am so, so sorry for you. What a horrible thing to happen. I hope he or she had to pay major retribution for that selfish, stupid, disgusting choice they made to drink and get behind the...

  6. Co-Worker not smelling so good

    CFitzRN replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think people make these kinds of things harder than they have to be. I would just make an off-hand remark, sort of in a joking way. "Dude, you're a bit ripe today! you might wanna go freshen up...

  7. why do doctors order more vitamin d tests than anything?

    CFitzRN replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I follow Dr. Mercola's site (don't buy his products, but I recognize that he really knows his stuff). Here is some good information about Vitamin D and its health benefits and dangers of deficiency....

  8. The world can seem very dark at 3 a.m.

    CFitzRN replied to SlightlyMental_RN's topic in General Nursing

    YES. WHAT SHE SAID. And I would definitely fully explore the home health aide route - medicare provides coverage for in-home aides who can give personal care AND homemaking services. I think that...

  9. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    CFitzRN replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    " I think that is part of being a nurse, being on call 24 hours a day with or without sleep." Really? Why, are we superhuman? That comment seems utterly ridiculous to me. Medical care providers...

  10. Frustrated preceptor

    CFitzRN replied to OncRN612's topic in General Nursing

    Holy crap - something just doesn't sound right there. She sounds like the kind of nurse who would kill someone, and I don't say that lightly. I'd be frustrated as well... and more than a little...

  11. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    CFitzRN replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I received an ADN and not only did I have to take chemistry, but leadership and community nursing classes and I rocked the crap out of those classes. Just

  12. Legal advice? Please!

    CFitzRN replied to ThatGuyTom's topic in General Nursing

    This is all speculation because I don't know the law about this, but this was a done deal. It was up to the potential buyer to get the car checked out BEFORE making the buy, and if he didn't, too...

  13. Do you go to work when you have fever/cold?

    CFitzRN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    You can get whatever flu vax's there are, and still wind up getting the flu. There are strains not covered in any given season's vax. They do their best to include any strains that have been...

  14. Before the Morning (Failed CRNE three times. what now?)

    CFitzRN replied to yahy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I find myself quoting another beloved Pope - JPII - many times a day. His simple quote 'Be not afraid" goes through my mind over and over. It is a very calming influence for me, no matter what I...

  16. if u had to choose another career in healthcare besides nursing, what would it be?

    CFitzRN replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    YES! I work for a physician who also happens to be an abysmal speller, but he is so cool that I just tease him about it and he laughs with me. He doesn't try to fix it though...

  20. Home "butt-enhancing" surgeries gone wrong ...

    CFitzRN replied to helikias's topic in General Nursing

    My orifice is quite enhanced already. I wouldn't mind some disenhancement, actually. I wonder if they do that in New

  21. Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

    CFitzRN replied to Emile's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Coming from a non-CNA former nursing student (now nurse) I say there are ABSOLUTELY benefits of becoming a CNA before starting nursing school. I can't tell you how clueless I was starting out - so...

  22. Endoscopy RN...would you recommend it?

    CFitzRN replied to stefanitenzi's topic in Gastroenterology

    That's really cool - and you may get your foot in the door and be asked to come on staff in the near

  23. Before the Morning (Failed CRNE three times. what now?)

    CFitzRN replied to yahy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I wish I could reach through here and give you a hug. It sounds like you could use one. First, let me say that you didn't do all that work for nothing. There isn't a doubt in my mind that you were...

  24. if u had to choose another career in healthcare besides nursing, what would it be?

    CFitzRN replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    Hahaha - I could have written this. It's sort of a curse, isn't it? I cringe at typos and misspellings and poor grammar and sentence

  25. if u had to choose another career in healthcare besides nursing, what would it be?

    CFitzRN replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    PA or FNP (FNP isn't exactly outside of nursing though). I think EMTs and Paramedics are amazing people who are horribly underpaid but I could never be one. I don't have that whole "cool in an...
