  1. Other departments trying to skip on work with RN's "blessing", aka lazy people wanting som

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

    It always amazes me that ancillary departments can just refuse to do their job for no reason so their job automatically no questions asked becomes the nurses' responsibility. Somebody in dietary...

  2. Bullying at work

    sevensonnets replied to LDRN1893's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why on earth would your manager warn you ahead of time about this nurse? How would such a person even get hired if management knew ahead of time that she would cause trouble? If she is putting her...

  3. I am not proud of my track record.

    sevensonnets replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Me, I had a tough time getting past

  4. I am not proud of my track record.

    sevensonnets replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Noub, you seem to know a lot more about the OP that the rest of us do. How ironic is it that your first post attempts to equate sound advice regarding the honesty and integrity that is the heart of...

  5. I am not proud of my track record.

    sevensonnets replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    I still think we've been trolled yet again by somebody with a little medical knowledge who wanted to get us all riled up. Just not quite as mean and nasty as trolls usually are. Troll or not, this is...

  7. Nurse's Week Gifts from Employers

    sevensonnets replied to twss2323's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Last year the administrator of the hospital and his assistant came through pulling a little red wagon full of candy. Problem was they were giving it out to everybody they encountered so by the time...

  8. What do you guys do to de-stress?

    sevensonnets replied to OBigdog26's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I spend time with my elderly dog. She's 13 years old and we like to go on long walks and snuggle on the couch. I have lots of plants to take care of and that's therapeutic for me. I read constantly...

  9. Anyone have nightmares?

    sevensonnets replied to dec2007's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have those terrible dreams too! I'm lost in a building that doesn't even resemble my hospital, can't find my patients, and suddenly it's time to go home and I still can't find them. Freaks me

  10. I am not proud of my track record.

    sevensonnets replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Either this is the usual inaugural troll post as an attempt to get us all arguing with each other, or this is a person with a serious personality disorder. She (?) could get counseling to resolve her...

  11. Only Crusty Old Bats will remember..

    sevensonnets replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I love the older docs! When you've known them 25 years they know they can trust your judgment. Sometimes in CVICU you can call and say, "Hey, this is what's going on with your patient and I ordered...

  12. What's the strangest phone conversation you've ever had at work?

    sevensonnets replied to Brekka's topic in Nursing Humor

    Once worked nights, rare for me. Had to call a doc who was asleep for most of the conversation. Talking to myself mainly. I kept yelling Dr. L., did you hear me, and when he finally did respond he...

  13. Only Crusty Old Bats will remember..

    sevensonnets replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    One of our older surgeons still used Montgomery straps until he retired not so long ago. The younger nurses just had no clue what to do with them, so when Dr. G. made rounds he would say, "Okay, I...

    sevensonnets replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I will admit to comparing lipstick on the 6 different cups on the breakroom table to determine which one most closely resembles my own and drinking it cold. Have seriously considered many times taking...

  16. PTCLS

    sevensonnets replied to djh123's topic in Nursing Humor

    Personally, I'd like a call light programmed somehow to block out the following: What time is my doctor coming? Can you call and ask him when he's coming? What channel does Wheel of Fortune come on?...

  17. I am not proud of my track record.

    sevensonnets replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Nitpicking my words won't help your case, STARL. I've worked in cardiac intensive care/open heart for almost 37 years, so I'm obviously doing something right. You have been offered good advice from...

  18. I am not proud of my track record.

    sevensonnets replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    When you enter a profession where you literally hold someone's very life in your hands, there is no room ever for mistakes, careless errors, or outright falsification. You say you want to be the best...

  21. Word!

    sevensonnets replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    Never utter the name of the worst patient you ever took care of because 10 minutes later ED calls with report on that very patient who will arrive while you are still taking report. Especially don't...

  24. Only Crusty Old Bats will remember..

    sevensonnets replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Patients used to be able to come in the hospital for a diagnosis of "acute pharyngitis" and stay for a week with qid throat irrigations and q4 hr. pain meds. And if any patient uttered the magic words...
