  1. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    TDub replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say I agree with Agnus. If you still want to be a nurse, do a little research about the other things nurses do: preventative care, different therapies, nursing theories, competencies etc....

  2. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    TDub replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh my goodness,

  3. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    TDub replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think dachshunds are very sensitive to that sort of thing. When my dad died (he died very suddenly) his doxie stood guard on his chest and wouldn't let the EMTs get near his body. Duke snarled and...

  4. ER- HELP: Dumbest reason people go to ER

    TDub replied to DachRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    People never cease to amaze

  5. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    TDub replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oooh, I don't know, those little old men are kinda tricky

  6. How is it REALLY to be a Male Nurse?

    TDub replied to Riverhopper's topic in Men in Nursing

    The hospital will probably turn you down flat. Call the closest school of nursing and explain you are interested in being a nurse and could you perhaps be with a nurse or an instructor in clinical...

  7. ER- HELP: Dumbest reason people go to ER

    TDub replied to DachRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh man, wouldn't

  8. How is it REALLY to be a Male Nurse?

    TDub replied to Riverhopper's topic in Men in Nursing

    With the priorities in your post, I think perhaps nursing is not for you. The way you phrase the question about cleaning people up makes me think (perhaps wrongly, it's true) that it would be more...

    TDub replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Another Britishism I love: "jobsworth" "the coooo!" greensister, do you know Sarah Fisher? She does a lot of animal work in Somerset. I met her last year at a conference. Great

  10. Things nursing school FAILED to tell us

    TDub replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in Nursing Humor

    The putting a cath in the little old lady part did happen to me. There was no light in the room, so the daughter got a table lamp and held it for me. The only problem was she was more interested in...

  11. What's more stressful, L&D or Med-Surg?

    TDub replied to beachmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am sorry not to help solve your dilemma, but I think they even out. They both have their stressors in different areas. More lifting in Med-Surg, more lawsuits in L & D. More acute pain in...

  12. Ethical question

    TDub replied to Bluecap's topic in International Nursing

    I see what you mean and before, I would have preferred to know whether or not someone is HIV positive, but our hospital's position is that the caretakers really don't need to know. If they were...

  13. I've noticed something on these boards...

    TDub replied to bethem's topic in International Nursing

    I have noticed a large proportion of nurses here (here in the States, that is) who enjoy tripping one up and/or sitting back and letting you make a mistake without warning you. The old give you enough...

  14. Ethical question

    TDub replied to Bluecap's topic in International Nursing

    It seems like it would only matter to the pt in the case of changes r/t her disease. It wouldn't matter to the staff because they are treating everyone with universal precautions (or should), so they...

  15. An Australian soldier killed in Afghanistan

    TDub replied to Grace Oz's topic in International Nursing

    I am so sorry. I am sorry he was sent there and his reward for being a brave patriotic man was to be killed. I wish your country had turned your back on us-I am just sick. I will pray for him and his...

  16. The Great Double Standard?

    TDub replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    Pretty sure-I've never had Vitamin V. I do tend to react that way to any downers, though. The first time I ever had Demeral, I told the nurse, "Man, if this was legal, I'd be an

  17. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    TDub replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  18. The Great Double Standard?

    TDub replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    That would probably do it! But then you'd have a large, uncoordinated, sentimental nonweight-bearing patient with her arm slung around your neck, sobbing "I love you guys, you're the

  19. Cleanliness in UK hospitals

    TDub replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    Shhhhh! Puh-leeze don't give the management any

  20. The Great Double Standard?

    TDub replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    NurseMike, that is a superb post. You made the point much better than I because you brought out the difference between being scared and/or modest and then just being hateful. (And because I got a...

  21. The Great Double Standard?

    TDub replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    are you actually saying that someone's fear is irrational? unfounded? you're going to educate the patient who perpetuates unhealthy streotypes? espousing patient choice is drivel? i agree limitations...

  22. bed baths in hospital??? is 5am too early???

    TDub replied to english_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    In hospital in 1994, I was kept awake in a busy unit for about 3 days. I got to sleep maybe 2 or 3 hours a night. I was so crazy on the 4th night, about 3am, I came out, backed the poor nurse up...

  23. bed baths in hospital??? is 5am too early???

    TDub replied to english_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    Why in the world are nights doing the baths? You don't have enough staff to do them. Days should be doing the baths after breakfast. And 5 am is inhumane. I think I'd be a rotten patient in a...

  24. Uniform/title question

    TDub replied to NeuroNP's topic in International Nursing

    I have a question along those lines: I'm reading an article from Journal of Clinical Nursing and it mentions E-and D-grade nurses, G-grade sisters, F-grade sisters and Level 2 patients. The article...

    TDub replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Pad a deux--that's great! That's one of the best lines in the whole story! Doolally; that's another word I'll be using. I personally thinkyou should rename the place the Slough of Mangle, like in...
