  1. What I really think of nursing

    Gluteus Maximus replied to jmeng's topic in General Nursing

    Some people just aren't cut out for nursing. It sounds like you're one of them. Poor career choice.

  2. High divorce rate among nurses? Why?

    Gluteus Maximus replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    You're watching far too much General

  3. Some people should just stay quiet!!!

    Gluteus Maximus replied to StephRN08's topic in General Nursing

    No offense but you sound quite young. I'm trying to envision getting upset over such a small thing and quite honestly, I can't do it. Your first mistake started with sharing far too much personal...

  4. MD Quote of the Week

    Gluteus Maximus replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    "I am too drunk to come in and see this patient." At least the physician was honest, but he was on

  5. High divorce rate among nurses? Why?

    Gluteus Maximus replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not buying that a high divorce rate is associated with nursing. Maybe shift workers in general, but nursing? I'd like to see the

  6. Is it just me or............?

    Gluteus Maximus replied to eriksoln's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get annoyed with those patients who demand a prn sedative because they can't sleep. Why not trying reading a book, watching a bit of TV, or playing a crossword puzzle. Who says it always has to be...

  7. What is the longest long day anyone works???

    Gluteus Maximus replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    The maximum I worked at once is a 16 hour shift. I know when to say NO -- I refuse to become a

  8. Body Bags

    Gluteus Maximus replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    Our post mortem care involves cleaning the patient up, usually the bladder and bowel releases its contents soon after so this is often the messiest part. Our kit comes with a white non-zippered bag,...

  9. Body Bags

    Gluteus Maximus replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    Really?? I have never heard of this, but I must ask...

  10. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    Gluteus Maximus replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    We don't allow paramedics or FF's in our break room. What business do they have being there when they're not even staff? That's what the cafeteria or coffee shop is for - they can buy their own...

  11. CRNE October 2010

    Gluteus Maximus replied to narmeen18's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    If you feel that a good dose of reality is negative and critical, so be it. But if someone is going to make the ludicrous suggestion of lowering the bar by raising the exam attempts to 6 or 7 (oh...

  12. Rn Health requirements?

    Gluteus Maximus replied to FutureRNontario's topic in International Nursing

    Whatever this declaration of status is, are they actually having new applicants to the CNO sign it? I never signed anything 6 years ago when I became licensed. And why bother with this at all if...

  13. Red bulls, No-doz, Coffee and Caffeine pills!!

    Gluteus Maximus replied to Dee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    oops, wrong

  14. Red bulls, No-doz, Coffee and Caffeine pills!!

    Gluteus Maximus replied to Dee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not long ago we alcohol swiped the finger and took the first drop of blood for glucose test strips. Now we only wipe with gauze and discard first drop of blood. Not long ago we only used Z-track for...

  15. Registered Psychiatric Nurses

    Gluteus Maximus replied to Sparkie010's topic in International Nursing

    I'm having a hard time understanding what you're asking. The designation registered psychiatric nurse only exists in Western Canada so your license is useless elsewhere in Canada. In order to become...

  16. Eats on Feets -Breast Milk-Sharing group

    Gluteus Maximus replied to Serenyd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry, but I find this gross. I'm all for babies receiving human milk but the very idea of my baby receiving some other woman's possibly contaminated milk and god knows what else she's got...

  17. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    Gluteus Maximus replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    At least you recognize your limits and don't expect the employer to make special accommodations for you. Good on

  18. I need some Advice please

    Gluteus Maximus replied to babypoo's topic in General Nursing

    And people wonder why nurses burn out like they do. My feeling... If you can't do your job properly, make room for someone who

  19. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    Gluteus Maximus replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    If any of my patients see the face of Jesus on their toast, I'm prying it from their death grip and selling it on E-Bay for a hundred

  20. Do you think Patients would confuse me for a doctor if I'm South Asian and male?

    Gluteus Maximus replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    My nursing class was full of international students who were doctors in their home country - one was even an obstetrician so med school plus residency, however, their training didn't directly...

  21. CRNE October 2010

    Gluteus Maximus replied to narmeen18's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Very well said. Let's just set the bar lower so more deficient people can go through - it's such a ridiculous concept. It's perfectly natural to feel badly for failing an exam you worked so hard for...

  22. Do you think Patients would confuse me for a doctor if I'm South Asian and male?

    Gluteus Maximus replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    What is odd about it? Many people especially those of foreign descent use nursing in North America as a stepping stone to get their medical

  23. Does your floor decorate for Christmas?

    Gluteus Maximus replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the point of decorating for Christmas (unless its a Catholic hospital). Somebody somewhere will complain it's religiously/politically incorrect and demand it all be pulled down, so why...

  24. Danger to self? help!

    Gluteus Maximus replied to Trubie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm under the impression you feel this patient is a danger to herself because she is desatting. Palliation means comfort measures, you shouldn't be concerned about her Sp02 as you should be about her...

  25. IV starts in nursing school

    Gluteus Maximus replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    Those dummy arms are useless! And don't give an accurate picture of what a human arm is. Every student should have the choice to practice on each other should they so
