I'm working on seeing an upside to this. This may take a while.

To OCNRN63 and gvrn13, nice avatars. Too many good songs, too many good times.

One of the things I do is be sure, to the best of my abilities, that my obligations are taken care of. My insurance stays covered, final arrangements are made and paid for. Advanced directives are complete, end status is established. When the time co...

1st, I would have some genuine concerns about working in a facility that handles such fragile patients that won't even spring for a half-way decent crash cart. I can handle no defibrillator on board, but no suction? Come on, drop the $300 for a sucti...

Tuskegee... Is that where I'd heard this before...

Op comes in one time with a request/statement that I had no idea how to respond to. Your avatars, however, did intrigue me enough that I had to comment. Anyway, back to the original post. Yes there are case studies concerning genetic alterations or c...

Boo-boo

Ingrid would have been my first celebrity crush, except I considered her to be closer to the group of Greek Gods. Check out the movie "Gas light" to see just how close to perfection a person can physically appear.

I never noticed before how similar she and Ingrid Bergman looked. Yep, to be compared to either one is high praise indeed.

Is there a question in there somewhere? Also, SoldierNurse, is that a picture of Ingrid Bergman?

Many times when a diagnosis of cancer is given it is also a given that this is a death sentence. When I got my diagnosis I knew that one of my lesser problems was going to be financing my retirement. With the op's patient, I can think of nothing so f...

I can't figure how you girls function with long nails anyway. If mine get over 1/8" long I can't do intricate work or type at a computer without ammassing a huge volume of mistakes.

I believd the big one on the left foot can pick up HBO.

My number has been called and I have lung cancer with mets to bone and liver. Doctor said since i'm relatively young and strong he wants to treat aggressive with chemo and radiation. Biopsy results not in but, doc said doesn't think it is small cel...

Someone at Busch Gardens doesn't have a clue.

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Don't go to nursing school if you are easily intimidated (Take an HONEST look at your own personality!). ...if you don't have a sense of humour. Every day (as a nurse) you will be greeted with the absurdity of the species. Sometimes, you can only lau...

I never have to admit I am wrong. There are legions of people willing and eager to do it for me.

I give myself enough time to get where I'm going without busting the traffic laws. Seems to work fairly well.

I checked the allnurses' TOS and my malpractice policy. Neither one covers snarfing or any action which may induce or precede snarfing. Just to be safe, I asked my lawyer, retired judge, The Honorable Foghorn J. Leghorn. He stated," Son, a claim of d...

In my life, working in various positions and jobs, my answer has always been the same; "More than some, less than others".

You get upset at THIS? You should hear the commotion my zombie friends raise about this show! Man, it's enough to raise the dead...

Well, I suppose nursing isn't as boring as geology. As a nurse you'll enjoy the stimulation of learning new skills: plumber, electrician, cable tv technician, waiter, mailman, receptionist, gofer, electric bed mechanic, interior decorator, maid, but...

Due to the number of trees felled to satisfy our growing need for superfluous charting, I am a lumberjack by proxy.
