  1. ECG stickers during surgery

    sevensonnets replied to zarkasik's topic in General Nursing

    sevensonnets replied to jodispamodi's topic in Nursing Humor

    I did something once that I won't go into here and could not escape. I had to confess it to the pulmonologist. He stood there for a long time just looking at me and finally he said, "Hold out your...

  11. Trouble adjusting to my new unit

    sevensonnets replied to Melanin's topic in General Nursing

  16. Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    sevensonnets replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Family members who arrive at noon and want to know how the patient slept last night. Well, I don't know I was asleep myself, at home in my own bed. Can you please get someone who can tell me? Here's a...

    sevensonnets replied to Jessie-'s topic in General Nursing
