    MomRN0913 replied to nola1202's topic in General Nursing

    Someone must have stabbed your back badly. I have made great friends in nursing. Ones who cheered me on through IVF, who wouldn't let me do anything heavy when I did get pregnant. These people let...

    MomRN0913 replied to TiffCNA's topic in General Nursing

  12. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    MomRN0913 replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

    Holy crap. What an ignorant idiot. I can't believe he even graduated high school. I think the funniest part is that he was waiting to "get mucous extricated from his lungs" he was waiting in the...

    MomRN0913 replied to Nurse Mami's topic in General Nursing

    I'll break this up with a little humor. I THOUGHT I lost a patient once. Couldn't find him. Checked in the bathroom, saw nothing, the light was off. Called a code gray.....I was panicking (I was...

    MomRN0913 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't worked a night shift in almost a year and I still have a hard time sleeping at night. I would try to get a "nap" after your last night shift. 2-3 hours, so you don't totally deprive...

  18. can a nurse manager cancel your shift?

    MomRN0913 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Of course they can, they are your boss. Your NM has a budget and if he/she can prevent OT, they sure as hell will, because your NM boss will give it to your NM if she could have used a float instead...

    MomRN0913 replied to redeemed77's topic in General Nursing

  20. Offensive or not??

    MomRN0913 replied to peekachoo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I used to do it all the time with my confused patients. I told my patient who would not sleep and kept trying to get OOB to go 'Nighty nights". But I think that has more to do with the fact I am the...

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't think of him as a hero. I think it was nice he could say he is wrong, and then show appreciation. Whenever someone has made a good call on his patients he has been thankful. Geez, I...

    MomRN0913 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A patient or a family member asked you if you washed your hands? I was reading Redbook magazine and there was this little section saying how you can prevent medical errors and infections (this is...

  24. Thoughts on closing doors

    MomRN0913 replied to Soflo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This should not apply to confused patients. How many time have I walked down the hall to do something else, just to find a patient about to fall out of the bed or about to rip out an IV. I hope...
