  7. Lost it at Work

    StudentNurse2011 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I wish that worked for me, but eventually, I'll give in and go in - because sometimes that's the only way to shut them up. Unfortunately, once you start this, they know they can break you down so they...

    StudentNurse2011 replied to ChasingRain's topic in General Nursing

    My hair is shoulder length. I put it up in a half ponytail. When I put the elastic on, I wrap it till it's almost tight. When I pull the ponytail thru the last pass of elastic, I don't pull it...

    StudentNurse2011 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student too. If my instructor gave me grief for getting help to move a pt that I wasn't comfortable moving alone, I would probably ask her to demonstrate for me the proper technique for...

    StudentNurse2011 replied to patientlywaiting2008's topic in General Students

  14. Memo to All Hospital Staff

    StudentNurse2011 replied to nminodob's topic in Nursing Humor

    The whole thing is hilarious, but this especially struck a chord: >>As you can see from the "from" line above, administration is assuming groundskeeping duties. If an administrator cannot be...

  15. Nursing Superstitions?

    StudentNurse2011 replied to JustEnuff2BDangerous's topic in Nursing Humor

    ER - Sunday nights are bad enough, but when Sunday nights also happen to fall on a full moon. ugh. We used to joke that on these nights, the hospital needs to provide valium salt licks - one at the...

  22. INR/PT What am I missing here?

    StudentNurse2011 replied to StudentNurse2011's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you! It confused me when I looked at the values because the INR was WNL, but the PT was incredibly high. We didn't go over this stuff in pharm at all - we just discussed the fact that you'll...

  23. INR/PT What am I missing here?

    StudentNurse2011 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance
