  1. Nike Free Runs or Puma?

    Gabby-RN replied to LaceElaine's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think I know the puma shoes you are talking about. They offer no support. I wore them once and my feet were killing me 2 hours into my

  2. Grateful but discontent

    Gabby-RN replied to BigBluemadness's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I do not think it is appropriate to chart no response from doctor. It is appropriate to chart MD Smith notified at 1800 patients heart rate elevated to 120's, temp 101, BP 99/56, patient increasingly...

  10. You Know You're A Nurse If...

    Gabby-RN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    There is no way you can be an actual nurse with this attitude. Some nurse must have really annoyed you from reading your 15 posts on here. Not all nurses hide and text all day or are above doing...

  12. I feel like everybody hates being a nurse!!!

    Gabby-RN replied to hershdawg's topic in General Nursing

    I love being a nurse and overall am very happy with my workplace. I do not get the impression that many nurses dislike being a nurse. Many of us do get frustrated with the politics, short staffing,...

  13. Sitter breaks

    Gabby-RN replied to permanentnights's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The pct's cover the breaks. If its really busy the charge nurse will have 2 people split covering the break. Maybe you could suggest that where you

  15. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    Do you want to be a bedside nurse or would you enjoy being a manager? I personally would miss bedside and have no desire at this point in my career to be a manager. Good luck with your

    At my hospital, which is a teaching hospital, an attending is always present in the room during emergent situations. 1st years always are very closely followed by the attending, in fact all residents...

  20. Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    Gabby-RN replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    I 100% agree that MA's should not call themselves nurses. My PCP only employs MA's in the office, they obtain vitals and the MD does the rest. If someone called the office and asked the receptionist...

  21. Full Code resident in LTC

    Gabby-RN replied to BB00513's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think how long the patient was down is the most important fact and if it was witnessed or not. If the patient died in their sleep for example and was found by the MD during morning rounds, clearly...

    Gabby-RN replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

    What is scary is that if you google "jody abrams", the 4th search match is a direct link to this thread...after twitter, linkendin, and an unrelated doctor with the same name. If the poster is this...

  25. "I need my Lipitor!"

    Gabby-RN replied to 1fastRN's topic in Emergency

    Days?!? That is horrible. Hopefully not the norm. Patients would be so much happier if we could move them along quicker. The ED is not equipped to care for admitted patients for extended periods of...
