  3. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    sevensonnets replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    37Changes, being subjected to second-hand smoke on a daily basis is NOT about the smell or the frequent breaks smokers take when their nonsmoking coworkers don't get a break at all. It's about my...

    sevensonnets replied to maggie0's topic in General Nursing

  9. Doctors Say the Darnedest Things

    sevensonnets replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    My friend chased the pulmonologist, who seemed to be in a very big hurry, down the hall, yelling Dr. C, please come back, I have a problem! He finally slowed down and says, "So do I. I'll solve your...

  10. "I am a nurse!"

    sevensonnets replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    A long time ago before HIPAA (so it's okay to tell it now) a FF's wife claimed to be a cardiologist, and would come in demanding EKG's and tests for her husband. Funny, she never identified herself as...

  13. Nurse week, scavenger hunt

    sevensonnets replied to Dskipp's topic in General Nursing

    But Mr Nurse, what about the pony and the clowns and the dunking machine? The leftover Halloween candy? As a complete aside, who knew whiskey was gluten

  14. "I am a nurse!"

    sevensonnets replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I did agree to ride the pony! Don't even get me started on the Viagra pens the drug reps left and the little cups of vanilla ice cream you have to eat with a

  16. Nurse week, scavenger hunt

    sevensonnets replied to Dskipp's topic in General Nursing

    I'd rather have the pony ride than get a backpack (cup, lunch bag or ballpoint pen) with the hospital logo on it that all other departments also get so they won't be jealous that the nurses get all...

  17. Funniest Slips

    sevensonnets replied to Tootsboots's topic in General Nursing

  19. Accepting verbal orders from another nurse?

    sevensonnets replied to amberrenae, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no!! Klone's right, that smacks of diversion because it was diversion. She could've gone to any experienced nurse with that request but she picked you because you didn't know any better and she...

  25. Patient Sitters Rock!

    sevensonnets replied to shawty4's topic in General Nursing
