  1. Husband with Kidney Cancer

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know it has been advertised on here how difficult the relationship is between my husband and me, but that aside, we learned some terrible news today: he has (more than 95% chance) cancer in one of...

  2. So Mad I Could Just SCREAM.......

    Jo Dirt replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    This makes me think of an old lady in the nursing home who had her left leg amputated and was sent home a couple of days later with 5mg Lortab every 4-6 hrs. No wonder she was screaming. That doctor...

  4. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    Jo Dirt replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    I know a nurse who used her children as an excuse for everything. Every day there was a big drama in her life, and I don't know how many times her son was in the ER because of a car wreck. One time I...

  6. racist comment

    Jo Dirt replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're being touchy. But then, I'm touchy about certain things, too. Like calling my underwear "panties." If women are equal to men, why the demeaning dictinctions? I'm totally put off and offended by...

  9. Fellow RN died this morning.

    Jo Dirt replied to Ali_Oop07's topic in General Nursing

    This is not the first time I've heard of a night shift worker falling asleep at the wheel and getting killed on the way home. No, it ISN'T worth it, and it makes me angry at how the system is. The...

  10. You don't LOOK like a nurse

    Jo Dirt replied to NHCNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what Bunco is, but I took care of an old lady when I was doing private duty (she was an Alzheimers patient), and I can almost hear her saying it now... You ain't no nurse! I don't know...

  11. Is this even medically accurate?

  12. LPN had more than twice load of the RNs

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    My husband was admitted to the med surg unit for testing and stayed overnight and most of the next day. When I went to see him I ran into a nurse I used to work with. She is an LPN and has worked for...

  13. LPN had more than twice load of the RNs

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

  14. In nursing uniform during a traffic copstop!

    Jo Dirt replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    No. I got backed up in traffic because of a fender bender. The deputy was taking his time and his car was blocking the way. I asked him if he could move it because I was going to be late for work, he...

  15. Bye Bye Discovery Health

    Jo Dirt replied to amya215's topic in General Nursing

    When Oprah comes on I reach for the remote. I can't imagine her taking over a whole network and dedicating it to crackpots and their

  16. Are clinicals this bad EVERYWHERE?!?!?!

    Jo Dirt replied to reckton's topic in General Nursing

    I applied to two different schools and heard the same same things about hundreds of students applying and only a few would get accepted. I think this is just a scare tactic a lot of people use because...

  18. So Mad I Could Just SCREAM.......

    Jo Dirt replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Adolph Hitler is in good company. I've heard this from doctors also. I've heard them called "useless", "charity cases", "dregs", etc. and by the very people they admire (mostly doctors). My...

  20. racist comment

    Jo Dirt replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been called Big Mama and, ironically, little girl. It doesn't bother me, I know they aren't trying to be demeaning. I know the names don't have anything to do with my nationality, but it's the...

  21. RN vs. Psychologist

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    My father-in-law is a prime example. The Newark, NJ school system couldn't get rid of him! Finally, at age 78 he was forced to retire when his driving became so reckless we had to go up there and take...

  22. Rockin' Idol Nurse

    Jo Dirt replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't see anything that really wowed me. She is "different" but I think that is her main appeal right now. I'm not sure that will be enough to hold her up there. It seems more like she is trying...

  23. So Mad I Could Just SCREAM.......

    Jo Dirt replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    It's sociopaths who rule health care and just about every major financial market and political seat in the country. Just shoot me and get it over with quickly. I guess that would solve a lot of...

  24. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Jo Dirt replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Just because things happen you can't explain doesn't mean it's automatically a ghost. There is probably a much more mundane explanation, though it may not be as fun as to believe in

  25. So Mad I Could Just SCREAM.......

    Jo Dirt replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    i have heard nursing home patients called that and worse. only a true sociopath could talk about other humans this way. i wish sociopaths who make their money off these useless feeders and who are...
