  1. Signs of impending death.

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Never heard of ears curling back...that thought strikes me as kind of creepy, though. I have heard of people who see others at their deathbed who have passed on. This really facinates me, but it's...

  2. Signs of impending death.

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It wasn't that she needed diabetic supplies why I would get a little annoyed. First of all, I'm usually very rushed, and second, it was just and example. Actually, I would get phone calls very...

  3. Sexual Harrassment?

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

    My nursing instructor in LPN school says she actually had a man reach up and force her to lay down over his erect member. She said she pulled out her pencil and gave his member a good whack and he...

  4. Signs of impending death.

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    That sounds like such a good idea. I really know very little about hospice but I am going to talk to the DON Monday, I hope it will not be too late. She has a private duty nurse with her at all times,...

  5. Don't think I want this job anymore.

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Home Health

    I've been putting 200-250 miles a day on my car (but that isn't why I don't want this job anymore) I'm so exhausted by the end of the day I'm nearly in tears. Last night I was sure I'd get a good...

  6. Dying girl's poem

    Jo Dirt replied to req_read's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    That poem sounds a little profound for a very young child. Perhaps a young adult or teenager wrote it? It's still a very nice poem, I will forward it to someone I know (not as a chain email, but...

  7. What is ur average 2 week take home pay?

    Jo Dirt replied to chioma829's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, you got that right. It's like, I'll get you a ladder so you can get off that horse...I got into nursing because of the money, and I can care less how some people feel about that, because they...

  8. Millionaires on nursing salaries

    Jo Dirt replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, I appreciate the value of a dollar. At the same time it's pathetic to see these little old blue haired couples FINALLY buying their big dream home after the children are gone and they really...

  9. What is ur average 2 week take home pay?

    Jo Dirt replied to chioma829's topic in General Nursing

    I just wouldn't reply if I was offended by a question. It's not a taboo subject and I don't think the questions are rude. Certainly, everyone has their own ideas of what is inappropriate or not. The...

  10. What is ur average 2 week take home pay?

    Jo Dirt replied to chioma829's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to know what fields you are thinking of. I would like some ideas. I'm kind of burned out on nursing

  11. What is ur average 2 week take home pay?

  12. Croc shoes Worth it? Or forget it??

    Jo Dirt replied to RNSacht's topic in General Nursing

    I actually like the off-brand imitation crocs MUCH better. They are lighter on my feet and don't make them sweat as much. As much as I hate Wal Mart I will continue to buy the imitation crocs

  13. Millionaires on nursing salaries

    Jo Dirt replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    If I save real good and live in a cave and collect lint and only come out on double coupon Tuedays (like Dave says) I can be a millionaire by the time I retire. Then, since I will be too old to really...

  14. GPA from other school affecting me

    Jo Dirt replied to Yanet22787's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how you could "forget" to drop a class. Colleges/universities will ask for all transcripts from previous colleges and consider it academic dishonesty if you fail to do this. I wouldn't be...

  15. Death Penalty Anesthesia

    Jo Dirt replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Most doctors or other medically trained people refuse to do this procedure so it is often left to wardens and people with no experience. What happens in a lot of cases they suspect that even though it...

  16. Any bedside nurses making over 100K ?

    Jo Dirt replied to EveMJRN's topic in General Nursing

    What would you expect them to offer

  17. Need some advice for a new grad (long)

    Jo Dirt replied to saguaro13's topic in General Nursing

    Expecting a new grad to operate like this (especially in an ED) is totally negligent and unacceptable. I'm talking in regard to patient safety. No doubt this hospital advertises having the most caring...

  18. Andrea Yates R.N.

    Jo Dirt replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. And about the comments that she knew what she was doing was wrong because she called the police afterward. In a psychotic person's mind there is NO RATIONALITY. When a person is is not...

  19. RN LTC 3rd shift payrate

    Jo Dirt replied to adrn03's topic in General Nursing

    Where I am from they don't pay a penny more for 3rd shift than 1st or 2nd. In fact, the DON says if anyone deserves a shift differential it is the 1st shift because they work the hardest...that might...

  20. Andrea Yates R.N.

    Jo Dirt replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    There is an obvious difference to me, between Andrea Yates and Susan Smith. When I first learned of Andrea Yates, I was furious, wanted to kill her myself. But the more I learned the more sorry I felt...

  21. Check on EC Application status

    Jo Dirt replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Excelsior has many mandatory wait periods, for one thing. For another, there are an awful lot of people who sign up with Excelsior, so the staff is no doubt bogged down in paperwork. Years ago, it was...

  22. Any bedside nurses making over 100K ?

    Jo Dirt replied to EveMJRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think some people may be living on Fantasy Island

  23. Negativity????!!!!!!!

    Jo Dirt replied to Hospice4me's topic in General Nursing

    About the only person I make fun of is myself, and that usually gets plenty of laughs. Of course, there was the case of the woman who put mirrors in her room so she could see her refridgerator (she...

  24. needlestick

    Jo Dirt replied to emsgirl24's topic in General Nursing

    I've been stuck by needles (yes, with an s) before. I got a needle stick from a patient with hep C (only my "employer" wouldn't pay for any kind of testing because I was a "private contractor"...the...

  25. Andrea Yates R.N.

    Jo Dirt replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, you got that right. How people "expect" someone who is mentally ill to always realize they are sick and need treatment is ludicrous. If they had enough of their faculties to realize they were a...
