    hecallsmeDuchess replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    There I was going to say congrats to you on becoming a NP! Hmm, I also don't like when people drop names or titles as if they want me to be impressed or something. So thankful I've perfected my blank...

  3. make up?

    hecallsmeDuchess replied to butterfly134's topic in General Nursing

    I just put on clear lip gloss, no time in the morning to do make-up, maybe there's time but it's just not my thing. Sometimes though, I wear some kind of colored lip gloss but nothing too crazy. I...

  5. Med Student Hierarchy?

    hecallsmeDuchess replied to KaksRN's topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital I work, the med students wear short lab coats and the interns/residents/attendings wear the long ones. Some of the full docs just wear regular clothes without a lab coat. As for what I...

  6. My daughter is quitting nursing school!

    hecallsmeDuchess replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    She's making exactly the same amount I'm making as a nurse, with a BSN. If being a PT aide gives her fulfillment, then she should go for it. If I were paying her tuition though, I'd gently persuade...

  8. I didn't know I was pregnant?

    hecallsmeDuchess replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I love watching that show, guess because most of the stories have happy endings for both mama and baby. Having said that, I don't know how people go through 9months and not have a little bit of clue....

  12. male labor and delivery nurses

    hecallsmeDuchess replied to booluvstrains's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally, I'm not sure I feel very comfortable exposing my nether parts to a male RN in the setting of L&D which is why I chose an all female practice for my gyn needs. Now that I think about...

  14. Do you shower right after your shift?

    hecallsmeDuchess replied to CharlieTaco's topic in General Nursing

    I take off my scrubs as soon as I get in the house, then I take a shower. I never, ever, ever, go to bed ever from work without showering. Even when I'm so tired I can barely stand, I still drag...

  18. Fictional vital sign charting

    hecallsmeDuchess replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    There is a reason I do my own vital signs especially once I start a shift and when I'm about to give BP meds. One time, I had looked at a patient's chart and couldn't not find vital signs and I knew...

    hecallsmeDuchess replied to RescueNinja's topic in General Nursing

    How appalling! I have seen funeral homes pick up deceased patients but I have never seen what you described, that was so wrong of them. The ones I've seen always come dressed formally and always pick...
