  1. Share The Weirdest Reasons Patients Push The Call Light

    RNtoJD replied to RN06-NP09's topic in Nursing Humor

    This goes back to when I was a new grad. I had a man ring the call bell because he wanted me to scratch his member. I told him, "There are some things that I don't get paid to do. That is one of...

  2. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    RNtoJD replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    I just thought of another one, again from a friend of mine. I used to date a dentist whose practice primarily consisted of geriatric patients. He loves the old ladies and enjoys kidding around with...

  3. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    RNtoJD replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Here's one from a few years ago. My friend is an EMT, and he is a real sweetheart, although not the brightest bulb in the pack. He tries to put his patients at ease, and sometimes tries to appear more...

    RNtoJD replied to Ms.RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi there. If it makes you feel any better, I have been an RN for 8 years now and just recently I started a new job and I am going through a lot of what you describe. Just today, my preceptor snapped...

  5. When One Child Is Enough

    RNtoJD replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    . I actually think abortion is one of the few areas where women have more control than men. This, in a nutshell, explains why many (althiugh not all) conservative males are "pro-life" when they are...

    RNtoJD posted a topic in Pediatric

  8. fixing nasogastric tubes in place

    RNtoJD replied to samrakaan's topic in Pediatric

    My question would be... if these kids are needing long-term tubefeeds, why do they not have gastrostomies? The aspiration risk of nasogastric feeding in the unobserved child is astronomical! I was...

  9. pediatric venipuncture

    RNtoJD replied to angel337's topic in Pediatric

    I work in MRI, where we do a lot of IVs on infants and toddlers for both anesthesia and contrast infusion. I have a lot of success with saphenous veins. These can be tricky because they are almost...

  11. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    RNtoJD replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    2) Just because we have a (federal) EMTALA law, doesn't make it reasonably and financially prudent. I speak fluent Spanish as a white man, and would NEVER expect anyone to speak English if I emigrated...

    RNtoJD replied to gaylordfauker's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    OB was my worst area too. I did very well on my practice exam (99th percentile) but it did nothing to quell my nerves on exam day. I brought a roll of TUMS with me on the day of the exam. Just...

  15. everbody say hi ??

    RNtoJD replied to gaylordfauker's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I won't be leaving for at least 4 years--longer if I don't find satisfactory employment in the legal profession. I was pre-law in college before even thinking about nursing. I went back for my RN...

    RNtoJD replied to gaylordfauker's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thank you. I fell in love with the campus the first time I saw it. The buildings all look so old. Hard to believe that the Law Library was built in (I think) 1991. I have only been on this board and...

    RNtoJD replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

  23. Charting Bloopers

    RNtoJD replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

    ...and another more recent one. I once without thinking asked a double amputee how tall he was. Then as an effort to redeem myself proceeded to follow up with. "and how much do you weigh?" --Needless...

  24. Charting Bloopers

    RNtoJD replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

    Not in charting, but a verbal blooper. A few years ago while caring for a hypertensive patient on a Med surg floor, I made 2 IV attempts and got in, but blew both veins when I attempted to advance the...
