  1. Offended by Prayer

    hypnotic_nurse replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    I make it with butter instead of margarine, and use chicken broth instead of water (then add an extra 1/4 cup of broth because it's too dry if you don't). Then I add previously sauteed mushrooms (a...

  2. Offended by Prayer

    hypnotic_nurse replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I would be offended if you sang the Star Spangled Banner over me after I was dead. Especially if you had one of those singers from sports events doing it. It's hard to sing anyway, and then they...

  3. In search of.... Viable Test taking strategies

    hypnotic_nurse replied to masai39's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Good grief! And these people want to be nurses?! Do you know how difficult they will be to work with, with attitudes like that? Part of what we do as nurses is teach -- whyever would they pass up an...

  4. Tests and Cheating Classmates

    hypnotic_nurse replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Students

    We used cover sheets at my nursing school, but I would have even if the instructors didn't ask for it. People have to do their own work or they'll never make it in the real world. But I liked my...

  5. Traveling RV style...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to kat29's topic in Travel

    We've taken it on several trips and it IS a

  6. Traveling RV style...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to kat29's topic in Travel

    I drive the speed limit. It does that just fine. Motor and transmission were already good, as I stated before; a lot of RVs don't have high mileage, even the older

  7. Traveling RV style...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to kat29's topic in Travel

    I too am thinking about this (but have the RV already). Three years to go! If you are at all handy, I can tell you that it is MUCH cheaper to buy an older model and redo the inside. Mine is 70s, and a...

  8. Research Nurse

    hypnotic_nurse replied to sabee06's topic in Research

    I'm on my 4th research-related job. They are all different, and the job duties are different, depending on what kind of studies you are doing and how many people you have working with you. I've worked...

  9. I quit my job (long)

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is WOW! You had a rough time. Hugs to you -- and I hope the next job is as good as this one was

  10. Tattoos and health professionals...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to NurseFirst's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've been giving blood since I was 16, other than a hiatus when I found out my (now ex-) husband was a sex addict and had been consorting with prostitutes. I lost count of how much after I gave my...

  11. Old Ladies Having Babies

    hypnotic_nurse replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So to prevent any of this, should we just legislate taking out all those "gross" old uteruses so that you don't have to worry about it? And what age are you going to cut people off from having...

  12. Old Ladies Having Babies

    hypnotic_nurse replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Life is uncertain for all of us -- I hope every mom lives to see her kids graduate high school and beyond. Some women are fertile into their 50s -- and as long as a woman is fertile, then I guess...

  13. "A monkey can be trained to do what you nurses do"

    hypnotic_nurse replied to angel337's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I LIKE that! And any workplace that would write anyone up for THAT is not worth working

  14. Anyone else broke?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to kellyo's topic in General Students

    When I was in nursing school, I sold stuff on Ebay. You might consider it. I started out with my jewelry and graduated to selling things I bought at garage sales (I still sell off and on; money isn't...

  15. Old Ladies Having Babies

    hypnotic_nurse replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My grandma was 53 when she had my mom. My dad's mom was 48 when she gave birth to him; his dad died shortly thereafter. I had the other grandparents until I was 13 and my parents were in their 50s....

  16. Offended by Prayer

    hypnotic_nurse replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I found that surprising as

  17. "A monkey can be trained to do what you nurses do"

    hypnotic_nurse replied to angel337's topic in General Nursing

    Every time I see this thread, it makes me laugh. I've never had anyone tell me "a monkey could do that" in any kind of denigrating way. Instead, it was the nurse who taught me so much of what I know...

  18. Labor, birth and spectators

    hypnotic_nurse replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My MIL didn't even know I was at the hospital until my babies were delivered. No way would I have let her in the room with me, and I liked her, even though she made me crazy. You do what YOU want. You...

  19. Pharmacists refusing to fill orders for The Pill

    hypnotic_nurse replied to KarenAR's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, Angie, it's regular old birth control pills, not morning

  20. Pharmacists refusing to fill orders for The Pill

    hypnotic_nurse replied to KarenAR's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The difference here, though, is that abortions are not a part of your daily job, and most of the jobs you will be offered have nothing at all to do with abortions. For most pharmacists, doling out...

  21. Keep an eye on those Rx pads!

    hypnotic_nurse replied to URO-RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Way back when I was briefly a secretary in a medical office (and didn't know better), I was cleaning out old stuff and came across a load of prescription pads. I took them home for my 4-year-old...

  22. Injecting good humor in the work place...getting thru the grind.

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I smile, even though sometimes I may not feel like it. And I try to give lots of honest compliments -- sometimes I think it may be the only nice thing people hear all day. And there's always SOMETHING...

  23. What NOT to say

    hypnotic_nurse replied to RN92's topic in General Nursing

    I try to take my cue from the bereaved person (having been bereaved myself). That person may bring up one of those and in that case I try to follow along. It is very hard not to offer sympathy,...

  24. Welcome to the new Nursing Student Assistance Forum

    hypnotic_nurse replied to RNPATL's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What kind of experiences? Things that happened? Patient care? Other nurses? Management
