    New Yorker Patients

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Adrian32's topic in New York Nursing

    So in order to show New Yorkers as NOT abrasive, everyone decided to be abrasive? ROFL! OP, every area has its own personality. Try it out by shadowing if you can. I'm sure you'll get your...

    ER Doc, "I need Succ!"

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Adenosine6's topic in Emergency

    When I shadowed in the E.D. before starting, I was lost with the med names too. I didn't use succicholine, atropine or lidocaine on the med-surg floor. I definitely wouldn't have ever known what an...

    anyone who works with a foreigner registered nurse?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to eplus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I couldn't help laughing about the above comment "if you have an accent...." Because to anyone with an accent, YOU are the one with the accent, not them. I agree though. If you feel like people are...

    Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am proud to be a nurse. I like what I accomplish at work, that my children brag about their mom, and that my husband loves knowing just how to comfort me after a bad work night. I'm proud that...

    Graduate RN at 57 years old

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to healing hand's topic in General Nursing

    Bruce Wayne and OCRN are completely right. I got the "how old are your kids, are you going to be out a lot taking care of them if they are sick" attitude. The managers hiring are always concerned...

    A "full" light blue top tube

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    ACK!! (Talk about some surprising gold top results!) If 10% of lab techs run a blue tube not completely full, it still leaves 90% calling for a re-draw. I fill the

    "I don't want an admit..."

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to MessyMomma's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because maybe the MD is breathing down our neck about it, the pt has been there for 12 hours and just wants to get to their room and sleep, or we just got a call that a whopping code is coming and all...

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to MessyMomma's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nothing is worse than coding a pt in the waiting room full of angry patients waiting 4+ hours, 4 ambulances at the door waiting for a place to treat their pt, and stabilized pts taking up those beds...

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Nursing Professionalism
