  7. Do you enjoy TV surgical/medical shows?

    TDub replied to MSJ2007's topic in General Nursing

    hangs head in embarrassment I tend to yell at the TV and say "no, no, that's not how you deliver a baby!" and "OMG, a doctor could NEVER say that to a pt!" and "Where are all the nurses???" and "What...

  8. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    TDub replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    I bet we're in different parts of the country. I've never heard "painted with the same brush". My mom and her family say "pure ole D" for very, as in "I was pure ole D fussed at him." They also use...

  9. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    TDub replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    Sad thing is, I am! On grovelling: erika and hillflower, I definitely see what you mean about prostrating yourself in apology. I say 'grovel' in jest--I'm not actually ruing my good suit by...

  10. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    TDub replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    P.S. My husband is laughing himself sick over "Dtub". I think I'm in for a long spate of being called "De Tub". tori, please don't feel bad. Every nurse here has done something similar. The other...

  11. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    TDub replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, I failed to mention she had the right to be spoken to in private. That would have been far better on the CI's part. Being scolded in public is hateful and not acceptable. I have...

  12. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    TDub replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing instructor and I know this will be an unpopular view. However, I think you're taking the entirely wrong tack for this. Your instructor may not be the best or the most supportive, but you...

  13. Where were u 9/11/01?

    TDub replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I was sleeping in and my mother called. She works at the Fed Center in Battle Creek. I groggily mumbled hello and she said really fast, "I'm ok, they're evacuating the building, I love you." and...

  14. Would you join the Army Nurse Corps? Why or Why not?

    TDub replied to clc19k30's topic in General Nursing

    I would if I were younger. I feel service is a very important part of life and building character. When I became a nurse, I was engaged, had bought a house and was busy trying to arrange my life....

  15. I need some encouragement :(

    TDub replied to lullaby's topic in General Nursing

    One of the great things you have going for youis that you are an older (so to speak) nontraditional student. Many schools want students like you. When you apply, include a couple of shots of your...

  16. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    TDub replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    This is why I don't think you should be allowed to get a foreign language/alphabet tattoo unless you SPEAK THAT

  17. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    TDub replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I have a slight tangent here: my son's principal has a PhD and insists on being addressed as "Doctor". I'll do that and jump through her hoop, but what should I have her call me? Nurse Dub?...

  18. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    TDub replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely! You get an education, have 'nurse' in your name and pass boards, don't

  19. A few questions for experienced nurses

    TDub replied to googabin02's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I feel so accomplished. I left that out entirely, didn't I? Grr, bad me. But thanks! I always feel a little flustered when I'm triaging and hoping I haven't missed something important....

  20. baby sleeping in same bed as parents

    TDub replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    My personal theory is that there's such a difference between the haves and the have-nots in our society. Those of us who have a little money and healthcare and have some control over our lives can...

  21. A few questions for experienced nurses

    TDub replied to googabin02's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh! Ooh! I want to try: I would: 1. w/u the guy with pressure and SOB, IV, H and P, call cardios, send off some labs and get an EKG, then see 3. to briefly visualize how severe the dislocation is. If...

  22. Offended by pt- how to react?

    TDub replied to LDJRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't beat yourself up. You did the exact right thing, you didn't engage him, you didn't anything unprofessional, you didn't agree with him, you kept your cool. Kudos, friend! The only reason I would...

  23. Pulmonary Toilet? Huh???

    TDub replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    You're absolutley right--"toilet" is incorrect. It's Pulmonary Toilette. That what confuses one, because of course your mind jumps to the porcelain receptacle. When I was in school, I wrote...

  24. baby sleeping in same bed as parents

    TDub replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    You know what? In 21 years as a nurse, opinion has swayed back and forth many times from one extreme to another. When I started we never gave women anything to eat in labour and never gave then D5 IV,...

  25. Pulmonary Toilet? Huh???

    TDub replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    It's "toilette" v. as in grooming, cleaning, making fresh and servicable as opposed to "toilet" n. a receptacle for human
