  1. Funny quotes from patients

    RNtoJD posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    We have all taken care of patients whose sense of humor has made our day. I'll start this thread off with a story from my days in the ER. We were admitting a very very confused elderly man for...

  2. Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn? (Lutheran, Methodist)

    RNtoJD replied to NYNewGrad's topic in New York Nursing

    Well, I recently got hired at Lutheran. From what I have seen, it seems like a great place to work. People are friendly, and everyone seems happy to be there. There is very low turnover at Lutheran,...

  3. Nurse-ified Song Titles?

    RNtoJD replied to nickos's topic in Nursing Humor

    Traci, I was told by a paramedic that they suggest doing compressions to "Stayin' Alive" as well... The Muppet Show theme song (anyone remember that?) is also a good rhythm for

  4. Take your boss to work day..........

    RNtoJD replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I would go even higher up the food chain to the VP or CEO level, since my experience has been that managers are often between a rock and a hard place. They know they should staff more nurses, but are...

  5. CEN, CCRN, or TNCC?

    RNtoJD replied to Liz520's topic in Emergency

    TNCC was pretty easy. I think it is a one or two-day course, as the other poster said, more like ACLS (only easier, I think). CEN, much more involved, but looks great on a resume. I would take TNCC...

    RNtoJD replied to onetiredmomma's topic in General Nursing

    RNtoJD replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    They don't even need a search warrant...they will simply bring a drug dog to the front door and when the dog picks up the scent, that gives them probable cause to search. Not to get off topic, but I...

  8. why do doctors order more vitamin d tests than anything?

    RNtoJD replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    For as long as I can remember, I have been tired most of the time. I recently began a weight loss program, and as part of it had my Vit D level drawn. It came back very low, so the APRN started me on...

  9. What did your friends major in?

    RNtoJD replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    One friend majored in computers, and is now selling real estate because her consulting career required too much travel and she wanted to have kids. She is also a deacon in the local church. Last I...

  10. Best Doc Stories

    RNtoJD replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    We had an ED attending at one facility who used to bake all sorts of yummy treats for special occasions, and if someone was expecting she would knit the baby-to-be a blanket. Another pedi hem/onc doc...

  11. Best Doc Stories

    RNtoJD replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    I used to LOVE working with the anesthesiologists in MRI. Sometimes, my sides would hurt at the end of the day from laughing so hard. One in particular got on the phone with my daughter who was 10 at...

    RNtoJD replied to RnM21's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    actually, in ct you would most likely be compensated for injuries sustained "on the job" even if you were clocked out. as long as your injury arises out of and occurs during the course of your...

  13. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    RNtoJD replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    My ex-hubby and I used to "share" our golden retriever (a female) with his parents. One day, it was determined that she needed a flea bath. My dear, sweet, MIL, in a tone only a mother could...

  14. Nurse-ified Song Titles?

    RNtoJD replied to nickos's topic in Nursing Humor

    RNtoJD replied to nurse_in_me's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Having worked at both, I can tell you that Hartford not only pays better, but in my opinion, is a better place to work. Better hospital too,IMHO (though I have heard reasonable minds disagree)....

  16. New grad looking for job in NYC area

    RNtoJD replied to bjmorgan3's topic in New York Nursing

    I have 12 years of experience, no BSN, but a BA in another field. I can't even land an interview. It is very frustrating because I am reading about new BSN grads getting jobs at NYP, and I have to...

  17. Farmington CT?!?!

    RNtoJD replied to auntsas82's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I have never worked there either, but I know someone who did. It is not a trauma center, but it is a teaching hospital (as the name would suggest). It houses the medical school, the dental school, and...

    RNtoJD replied to Shantas's topic in General Nursing
