  1. Dealing with panicking co-workers

    sevensonnets replied to Peditra's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think Rose Queen is exactly right. I've never worked anywhere but the hospital, where education for all hospital employees, not just nurses, is mandatory. I don't know if LTC facilities have nurse...

  2. So H&H are 2 different labs: why only say one value?

    sevensonnets replied to COVIDNURSE's topic in General Nursing

    Aquachecks make me want to pinch

  3. Am I overreacting?

    sevensonnets replied to OUxPhys's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My unit is fairly well-staffed right now but we pull in people from cardiac stepdown to team with CVI RN's. The cath lab nurses are fantastic because they all have CC backgrounds. We preplanned for...

  4. Is the increased love for healthcare workers an irony that will fade away when things get better?

    sevensonnets replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes they do think we're spreading it, but they are the ones out at WalMart while we are here trying against all odds to keep their mother alive and risking our own lives to do that. I don't care if...

  5. Food donations

    sevensonnets replied to freckles23's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Where I live many restaurants are doing this without being asked, in addition to providing for their laid off employees and their families. I don't think this is unique to my

  6. Tell me Your Nursing Hurricane experience

    sevensonnets replied to detxsccosta's topic in General Nursing

  10. Prayers for COVID patients?

    sevensonnets replied to TheEternalOptimist's topic in Spirituality, Religion

  12. Abandonment

    sevensonnets replied to Nurseynurse1418's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you Jory. If someone's that sick that they leave the floor midshift without giving a report, they had better be headed to the ED. I've never heard of a digestive upset that would render...

  13. "Why Wearing a Face Mask Is Encouraged in Asia, but Shunned in the U.S."

    sevensonnets replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I always thought it was because of the poor quality of the air in some of the Asian

  14. Covid-19: Health Care Workers Over 60 and/or Immunocompromised

    sevensonnets replied to AutumnLeaves's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm a little over 60, healthy and not immunocompromised. I've been at this now for 41 years in critical care. I've worked with several old army nurses who worked into their 70's and one even to 82....

  15. Logical Choices

    sevensonnets replied to ReflectiveRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can't speak to your situation but I can tell you where the nurse managers are. I'm where I have been for 41 years of nursing: managing a 22-bed CVICU open heart unit including at the moment 6 vents,...

  16. Abandonment

    sevensonnets replied to Nurseynurse1418's topic in General Nursing

  17. Worst Nursing Scrub Color Worn?

    Definitely orange. Looks like a jail

  18. Mickey Weird

    sevensonnets replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    She's probably blown through all the lids on jars jobs already. I vote for Beanie Baby factory inspector (our Mickey had a serious BB and Sixlets habit which accounted for her frequent gift shop...

  19. On Your Own

    sevensonnets replied to 2beAnurseR0's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's important to note that "most people here in Utah" is one person's opinion and doesn't speak for all of

  21. Mickey Weird

    sevensonnets replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Is she wearing Mickey Weird ears or growing cactii out the top of her head? I think I might have hired her years ago. She went to the gift shop once after her third break and just never came

  23. Really America?

    sevensonnets replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I saw actual CLOTH diapers at WalMart yesterday. Didn't buy any because baby Sonnet is 40 now and I think outgrew an allergy to the plastic in Pampers years ago. They didn't seem to have any diaper...

  24. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    sevensonnets replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    There are those who deliberately nitpick about stupid stuff like my mother hates green jello; she only eats red. Nurse, come quick! My mother's choking! She needs CPR! No, your mother is just...

  25. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    sevensonnets replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I dealt with a patient's wife years ago who claimed to be a cardiologist, even named the group practice she was with. Kept us on our toes until the patient himself outed her. Turns out she was a...
