  2. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Belle Epoque replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm getting a kick out of this thread. What difference does it make what color/print/pattern/style a scrub top is? As long as it meets the requirements as a scrub top and covers all the necessarily...

  3. Nursing and needle pricks

    Belle Epoque replied to Jules2113's topic in General Nursing

    If you follow policy and all the proper precautions, your chances of contracting a blood borne disease through needle stick injury or other methods are extremely negligible. There are many reasons...

    Belle Epoque replied to brotherbear's topic in Men in Nursing

    I already made my contribution, but didn't see the need to mention any specific specialty as I've seen men thriving in pretty much all areas of

  6. best nursing positions for men.

    Belle Epoque replied to brotherbear's topic in Men in Nursing

    What does gender have to do with it? Nurses (male or female) should work wherever they so

  7. Name Tags

    Belle Epoque replied to WSU_Ally_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are referring to a NAME TAG not the hospital issued ID badge. Anybody who is crafty could make

  8. the *right* humor

    Belle Epoque replied to trump1's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you can say anything you want, nobody is saying you can't. You can shout it from the rooftops, you can amplify it through a blow horn. NOBODY disputed you can't or shouldn't. This thread...

  9. Do give up your seat for a doctor?

    Belle Epoque replied to Pmkn10RN's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously, it's called a NURSES station for a reason! We had this come up during staff meetings especially since we have many docs, residents, interns, med students, nursing students etc etc and...

    Belle Epoque replied to trump1's topic in General Nursing

  11. the *right* humor

    Belle Epoque replied to trump1's topic in General Nursing

    Who said anything about jokes constantly spoken to patients? The issue is a website that doesn't live up to somebody's expectations of decorum so they're trying to shut it down. A website that we,...

  12. the *right* humor

    Belle Epoque replied to trump1's topic in General Nursing

    If you really think about it every single joke in existence is likely to offend somebody, somewhere. So let's just rid the earth of all humor so as not to carelessly step on any toes. We can get rid...

  13. the *right* humor

    Belle Epoque replied to trump1's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, for goodness sake, the internet is full of garbage, do we really need to control everything until it meets our level of satisfaction? Here's a thought --- if you don't like it, don't look at

  14. Clean supply

    Belle Epoque replied to NurseStephRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think your examples have anything to do with lack of supplies due to the cost factor but rather because of lazy workers. In general my experiences with dietary and housekeeping departments in...

  15. Using PRN benzodiazepines on the job

    Belle Epoque replied to McGwillis's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Many health professionals are on a lot of medications that can potentially impair judgement especially in the early stages of drug treatment. Anti-depressants, seizure meds, chemotherapy, etc. It...

  16. What type of lifestyle can a nurse afford?

    Belle Epoque replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Really? I would have jumped all over that fee waiving. I'm sure the before and after photos could be done without a head shot

  17. Doors to patient rooms: open or closed?

    Belle Epoque replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    Is it safe to have the door closed? I randomly walked by and noticed a patient (not mine) who was choking on his food, if it wasn't for quick intervention he would have been dead. Had the door been...

  18. I just got fired... what the hell happened?

    Belle Epoque replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    I can't even imagine it coming out of left field like that. Surely you deserve an explanation! Is there no common
