  1. I am being too anal?

    Jo Dirt replied to caholbr's topic in General Nursing

    The poor old man is dying and these herbs will not make him better. I imagine he has been getting the herbs anyway but I would still feel uncomfortable giving them myself though I don't know what the...

  2. Attitude Problem

    Jo Dirt replied to AngiePansRN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    My nurses...lol. I always hate it when nurses call them my tech's...give them a dose of their own

  3. Attitude Problem

    Jo Dirt replied to AngiePansRN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Do you think that new nurse is acting sloppy because she is an associate degree nurse? At any rate, when I read about nurses saying oh good take my patient and drop everything and leave I felt my BP...

  4. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    Jo Dirt replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    But I give no reaction, I don't want her to think I'm trying to talk down to her so I just go on as if nothing happened. Inside, though, I'm screaming like Sam

  5. Had orientation today for RN program...heard something disturbing.

    Jo Dirt replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    I'm all for everyone getting a fair chance, unless it isn't involving peoples' lives. If students cannot keep up with the workload then I don't care how caring and compassionate they are, I don't want...

  6. Really hate this nurse

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

    This is why I'm hoping and praying I will eventually be able to do a job where I don't have to work at the bedside. You have my empathy, but I'm not sure what you can do about it right now. You're in...

  7. Codeine can turn toxic in nursing mothers

    Jo Dirt replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

    They say reactions to vaccines are rare too but to the ones it happens to it doesn't matter how rare it is. I'm freaked

  8. Work from home Case Management/UR

    Jo Dirt replied to m&ms mom's topic in Case Management

    Seems like they would need case managers for old folks/geriatrics...I've got a lot of experience with that. Me and the old man realized tonight I cannot work away from home. I've GOT to find something...

  9. Going to have to get hospital job...so depressed

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    The private duty job I've been doing isn't going to keep cutting it and it looks like I will need to go get a hospital job. I've been a nurse going on 7 yrs. and have either worked in the same low...

  10. Quit My Job

    Jo Dirt replied to Jen1228's topic in General Nursing

    This place wouldn't happen to be in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, would

  11. Before you make fun of a patient, make sure they can't see you.

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

    Oh heck, I know that. I'd be lying if I sad I hadn't let out my frustrations about a pain in the neck patient. I'm just not the type to use mimickry to do it. When my sister told me about the deal...

  12. Before you make fun of a patient, make sure they can't see you.

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, my mother is in the hospital on med. surg.. I know she suffers from hypochondriasis and is driving everyone batty with all the dramatics and whining and carrying on she is doing (frankly, I'm...

  13. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    Jo Dirt replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who does this and it's all I can do to keep from

  14. What's wrong with eye drops?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    With my last two babies my husband said be sure and tell them NO eye drops (I never mentioned eye drops so I'm sure they got them). I see several other posters say the same thing. I just wonder what...

  15. Med-Surg Interview

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

    I went to their website. Absolutely nothing in the way of triage jobs. I've looked on search engines and can't find anything,

  16. Med-Surg Interview

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sorry this concern seems so self-centered but I need a place to let this out.... Late last night I emailed my resume to one of the local hospitals and this morning I got a call from the HR department...

  17. New Grad, Sad Resume

    Jo Dirt replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    What's lame about your work history? Being a CNA or in the health care field isn't a prerequisite for being a nurse. They don't expect you to come out of nursing school with years of experience in...

  18. Med-Surg Interview

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

    I don't think they were too interested. The interview only lasted a few minutes. The lady was really nice and everything, but when she asked me if I had ever put an IV in and I said no she looked a...

  19. opinion please

    Jo Dirt replied to colleennurse's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like me, and your husband sounds like my husband. In fact, my husband would be calling them several times a day and yes, stopping by the office. I understand how you feel, but from the...

  20. Med-Surg Interview

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

    My job now is ideal but is it really taking me anywhere and preparing me to work somewhere I can make real money. I guess I'll just go there and see what happens, I feel pretty ambivalent right now....

  21. Ugh... Chicken Scratch

    Jo Dirt replied to Crimsonking's topic in General Nursing

    One time me and this other nurse (how do you grammar scholars like the way I put that?) spent about 30 minutes trying to take down these doctor's orders. The handwriting was so bad it was like...

  22. salary range 2007

    Jo Dirt replied to cab6e3's topic in Telephone Triage

    I'd be happy with that. I only make $17/hr as it is

  23. What exactly is telephone triage?

    Jo Dirt replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Telephone Triage

    I LOVE the idea of being locked away in isolation and not having to deal directly with people. But I'm sure it has its own stressors, I don't know if I could deal with talking on the phone constantly,...

  24. Work from home Case Management/UR

    Jo Dirt replied to m&ms mom's topic in Case Management

    I would love to know this as well. Please, someone give us some

  25. Is med-surg like the nursing home?

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Then it sounds like I need to stay away from that scene. Now, I'm not just 80 pounds overweight, ugly, pregnant, tired and used up, I'm snaggle-toothed to boot. Had to go have one of my upper teeth...
