This entry inspired my good comics website friend, Jenn Vicious to make a cartoon: The badge on Jenn's character's cap reads "Dept of Vicious"! Check out this hilarious
I was eligible for SS on my 62nd birthday, over a year ago. The fact that I would be making money without working was sinking in. Granted, it would not be enough to comfortably live on, but I've lived...
The more I think about this, NurseBlaq, the more I think that you may just be right. I was told "he tried to apologize to you" as if having to put up with profanity, interfering with patient care...
Thanks for the welcome and comment, Daisy. I read it twice. And that's one thing I've noticed about myself recently: I am not as rushed. Don't get me wrong- I planned my life to have as few...
Thank you, dianah, Mary, Nurse Beth, and Hoosier! Davey Do has already transitioned into a day routine, after woking 17 years of MNs, since I haven't worked a shift since the 16th. My body feels...
What a difference a day makes. I was feeling rather unsettled yesterday, but thanks to you all, exercise, the great outdoors, my garden, and a good night's sleep, I feel good today. I dreamed of old...
Here is a portion of a recent post I made where I described the patient: "Last night, while straight cathing a patient about my age due to urinary retention..." Is anybody going to specifically know...
Actually, Daisy, years ago, Amy Ministrator called Eleanor into the pantry on geriatric psych, in order to speak to her privately, and showed her a photo copied from this website. Amy asked Eleanor,...
Seventeen years, and I'm sure that morale will be at an all time high, now. Oops! Truthfully, I meant "morale will be at an all time low. (I was being facetious.) Edit: I wanted to add that I truly...
I don't know if I'd say that, Daisy. No untruth, on my part, has been said or published, in which the First Amendment protects me, as stated above. Graphic renditions of situations are admissible in a...
There is no real hospital with the name of Wrongway Regional Medical Center, no town of Eiffel, ILL, or real person with the legal name of Davey Do. They are all fictitious, which I have made up and,...
NurseBlaq, RNNPICU, TriciaJ, kbrn, and amoLucia, and of course all you others, I want you all to know how much your involvement means to me. Your comments and responses have given me food for thought...
Bless your heart, caliotter! An EAP representative's presence, as with my other appropriate requests, would indicate that HR would be willing to concede to meet those requests and desire to try to...
Thank you, RNNPICU. But now, this just in. Take it away, Rita: Dave, If you are interested in utilizing the EAP, I encourage you to do so. The number is (555) 867-5309. There will not be an EAP...
I thought of more ammunition against HR and sent Rita this email this morning: As I've not received any communication from a higher ranking official, the CEO, on resolving these concerns, I will...
SO FUNNY! Brownbook, go to the gray area below the area of text, and on the images, click on the trash can to delete any images you want to get rid of. Or... you can put your cursor before the image...
I say this with all due respect, RubellaFella: It's where you would do the least damage. I have worked with a nurse who has ADHD and, although he gets the job done, but it's never from point A to...
I am reminded of the character of Phineas in the John Knowles classic, A Separate Peace, who said something along the lines of, "Better pray in case there is a God". I truly appreciate any act of...
Yeah, thanks kbrn, but with my family history plus my dream, you know... Belinda said, "You know they also place portacaths for long term IV antibiotic therapy", but I just have this feeling. We'll...
