  4. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    sevensonnets replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You don't care about the nurse, but you fully expect her attention to be focused on you and your perceived needs, to the detriment of the senior nursing student she was already working with? The...

  7. How to annoy irritating Drs.

    sevensonnets replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    Why, yes I have met quite a few orthopedists, neurosurgeons, ENTs, general surgeons, thoracic surgeons and cardiac surgeons, psychiatrists, pulmonologists, in 37 years in ICU/CVICU. And while we're at...

  8. How to annoy irritating Drs.

    sevensonnets replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    For the life of me I can't see why you would even want to pull stunts like this. Sounds like a great way to get your head ripped off. First, I've never actually worked with a doctor who was an idiot,...

  9. New RN's: Is it normal to help your preceptor with all their patients tasks

    sevensonnets replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Taking on additional tasks other than the ones you are directly assigned to provides you with opportunities to learn new skills. It also helps you learn how to be part of a team, which makes a great...

  10. INR 5.2 read as 2.5

    sevensonnets replied to Ethio22's topic in General Nursing

    How can you be a pre-nursing student and a BSN at the same time? A tired nurse reads the INR result upside down at the bedside, the patient receives Coumadin and Lovenox as usual and then bleeds to...

  11. What are you like as a patient/the sick one?

    sevensonnets replied to renardeau's topic in Health, Stress Management

    When I'm sick DO NOT BOTHER ME! I will drag myself to the kitchen to gather up Gatoraide, water, and some crackers, then persuade the dog to get under the covers with me for warmth and the comfort...

    Or you have to go outside and down the block to find your patients and then you can't get back in the

  13. Nursing Dreams and Nightmares

    sevensonnets replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I hate the dreams where the hospital doesn't even look like my hospital or it's in a mall and the patient rooms are mixed in with shops. I wander around all day looking for my patients and can't find...

  14. Report Descrimination

    sevensonnets replied to startingover2016's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Caffeine! Here's another compliment. Some of the very best nurses I have worked with in 37 years have been diploma nurses. In fact, my CVICU manager is a diploma nurse who graduated from this...

  15. Report Descrimination

    sevensonnets replied to startingover2016's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Caffeine. Not being hired by a healthcare facility is not discrimination. It is the choice of the employer; they are free to hire whoever they want. You need to work on your communication...

  16. MA before LVN/LPN?

    sevensonnets replied to brittybby2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If your goal is to become a nurse, that is, RN or LPN, apply to a nursing program. Medical assistants are not

  19. "Fixin' to die"

    sevensonnets replied to ktwlpn's topic in Nursing News

    "Fixing" to do anything is indeed a regional expression meaning anything you're about to do. You might be fixing to get up out of your chair, fixing to go to work in the morning, or fixing to go to...

  20. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    sevensonnets replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I may have posted this before. We had a CVI patient who liked to mess with the bed controls, and he especially liked to reach through the bedrail and push the button that made the bed go up and down....

  21. Where are all the "older" nurses?

    sevensonnets replied to tjcnurse2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where are all the older nurses? I'm right here in CVICU where I have been for 37 years. Not a job hopper either. I've worked in exactly 2 hospitals in all these years, 22 in my current position. I do...

  22. Do you ever want to escape nursing profession?

    sevensonnets replied to thida's topic in General Nursing

    I live close enough to actually walk to work if I set my mind to it and have done it many times. I used to get teased about that quite a bit. Many of my coworkers live as far as 60 to 80 miles away....

  25. What keeps you going as a nurse?

    sevensonnets replied to NurseEnvision's topic in General Nursing

    Just to see a patient come into CVI we have to drag back from death's door by their toes and to know that I had even the smallest part in that, that's what it's all
