    TDub replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    "dickipoggy" I love that! I have a new adjective! Emmanuel, I know what you mean. I'm afraid I will be a horrible old trout if I ever get gaga. I'll be pinching the attendant's rear ends and...

  5. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

    TDub replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    That reminds me: the first time I ever saw an Accucheck, another nurse was showing me how to use it and not explaining what was going on. I watched the numbers going down, thinking that was the BG,...

  8. Funny Names for Nurses

    TDub replied to randomnamees's topic in Nursing Humor

    I used to work with V. Doktor, RN. Nurse Doktor! (We would encourage the demented pts to call out for her) I also work in OB with Dr. Apgar and my childhood dentist was Dr.

  9. The Great Double Standard?

    TDub replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    But BillEDRN, you are not saying you would force care on a female pt if she said she was uncomfortable with a male nurse, right? What do you do in that situation? When black patients have wanted a...

  10. Washtenaw CC - New Requirements

    TDub replied to Redlady's topic in Michigan Nursing

    We are making students train as CNAs because the Fundaemntals course is soon to be phased out. It didn't work well anyway--students learned in lab and got checked off in lab, but then couldn't handle...

  11. Housing at University of Michigan?

    TDub replied to Mountain22's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Did you find a place? If not, it's worth checking out the ICC at UM. That's the Inter-Cooperative Councils. If you like the concept of coops, it's great. I lived in several houses through my time at...

  13. The Great Double Standard?

    TDub replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

  14. Cleanliness in UK hospitals

    TDub replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    Oh no, student nurses here (or at least my students) feel cleaning is far beneath them. They did not go to college to do demeaning work like that ! (/sarcasm) I remember stocking the wards and we...

  17. The Great Double Standard?

    TDub replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    58flyer , I'm glad you know not to take it personally. I agree with you about being restricted ONLY because of gender. If I walked in your room and you said, "I'm sorry, I just can't have a female...

  18. Cleanliness in UK hospitals

    TDub replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    Is this journalist woman actually expecting the nurses to clean in addition to their duties? I don't get

  19. The Great Double Standard?

    TDub replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    You know, you make absolutely valid points. It is discrimination to designate the gender of your nurse; I can't argue. But, (you knew there was a but in there, didn't you?) I could no more have a male...

    TDub replied to smartynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, this is amazing! How do you structure your time? I wouldn't be able to do this for one patient even if I had no family, friends, kids or dog and lived at the hospital. How much of your day is...

    TDub replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    God bless you for pursuing that and relieving him of that horrible thing in his mouth! You're the nurse I'd want if I was in that position. You too, suanna. I don't know if he lived or not, but it...

    TDub replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    WOW, excellent above post! Thank you ; very informative. I had a patient with Stevens-Johnson once. It must have been a mild case because the pt lived. However, their bed was constantly filling up...

    TDub replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing
