  1. RN tattoo

    Turd Ferguson replied to jackson145's topic in General Nursing

    I would add a round of hepatitis vaccines to go along with the

  2. how did they know I was in the hospital??

    Turd Ferguson replied to its_meee's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen things like this happen before, but I'm from a teeny-tiny town. Any chance this was just one of those "everybody knows everybody"

  3. rectal tube/malecot

    Turd Ferguson replied to wcnurseinaz's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting... I can see how it would be useful for a patient with acute diarrhea and skin integrity issues, but I imagine it would be very hard to keep the tube patent if the patient is having...

  4. Which ICU should I work in?

    Turd Ferguson replied to NCRNMDM's topic in General Nursing

    It's great that you have done your research and know what you're interested in, however don't let that get in the way of your clinical experiences in nursing school. I saw too many fellow students...

  5. The dreaded pregnancy test

    Turd Ferguson replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    Last week I was at the local dollar store picking up father's day cards (which can also be had at incredibly lower prices). I needed to get some ibuprofen, so went to the appropriate aisle and looked...

  6. rectal tube/malecot

    Turd Ferguson replied to wcnurseinaz's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard of physicians using tubes for off label use in trauma/critical care situations. How exactly would a malecot tube be used as a rectal

  7. How soon should a student start applying for jobs?

    Turd Ferguson replied to cjd2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do research on facilities you would like to work at, try to get information on employment and orientation to prioritize where you want to work. I'd start applying as soon as you feel comfortable with...

  8. Sometimes... do you hate your pts?

    Turd Ferguson replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I like my

  9. Your nursing practice varies from mine, therefore, you suck!!

    Turd Ferguson replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think your definition of "diatribe" is the same as my definition of "diatribe". You bring up some interesting points, I agree we all need to have our own wiggle room to practice, but there are...

  10. You don't work in anER. Get over it.

    Turd Ferguson replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    The urgent care I've been to required me to pay my co-pay upfront at the time of registration. Not a bad idea if you ask me, if I owned a private urgent care practice I'd want to be paid for the...

  11. Eating their young?

    Turd Ferguson replied to pashark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a student nurse, I looked at my clinical experiences as a way to take some of the day to day stress off of the nurse I was assigned to, and try to learn something along the way. I only had a...

  12. You don't work in anER. Get over it.

    Turd Ferguson replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    Very true, but our problem stems from the issue that a lot of ER abusers define "groceries" as: cigarettes, alcohol, fast food, drugs, fancy clothes, jewelry, and needless car

  13. Aptitude test and intervew questions????

    Turd Ferguson replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in Emergency

    The nurse manager I interviewed with thanked me for dressing up and taking the interview seriously. He said that he has literally sent people back home to change, and then come back and interview....

  14. denial to reapply to take the test

    Turd Ferguson replied to chunsa01's topic in General Nursing

    Stimulus = response Actions = consequences Why can't people bear to part with their phones/games/facebook for a couple of hours... this continues to baffle

  15. Soft scrubs for a tall skinny male=don't exist

    Turd Ferguson replied to phosophorus's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think they're in Texas. You can order online but the interface is kind of confusing. I'd call to place my order, they're really nice and easy to deal with on the

  16. Soft scrubs for a tall skinny male=don't exist

    Turd Ferguson replied to phosophorus's topic in Men in Nursing

    What?!? You're a MAN! You're supposed to be wearing scrubs made out of burlap

  17. What were the gender ratios in your nursing classes?

    Turd Ferguson replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in Men in Nursing

    49 females..... and then there's me.

  18. Ever had a patient refuse you based on your gender?

    Turd Ferguson replied to JG_0311's topic in Men in Nursing

    Never completely refused, some politely request a female for BR assistance and such. We'll see what the future holds. That's why I enjoyed ER so much... most patients were too sick to care and I could...

  19. Who HATES the term MURSE?

    Turd Ferguson replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've said it before and I'll say it again- I would have no problem spitting on somebody that called me a "murse". Show me a little respect- my name is not "murse"... it's

  20. white scrub tops and males

    Turd Ferguson replied to jltbone's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't think "gay" is an appropriate adjective to use here... I don't really see the issue with wearing white. The only reason I wouldn't want to wear white is that they get dirty too easily. At...

  21. Will I like being a nurse?

    Turd Ferguson replied to twinieten's topic in General Nursing

    Providing RN care is much different than providing CNA care, try to see if you can shadow an RN in a hospital environment to get a good idea of what it's about. If hospitals aren't your thing, there...

  22. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

    Turd Ferguson replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ha, I was in the exact same spot. My first and last questions on the test were SATA... talk about a confidence

  23. ANOTHER UPDATE --> interview AND nclex

    Turd Ferguson replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Nursing

    Yes!

  24. IV draw vs Lab draw?

    Turd Ferguson replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    Not really sure of the rationale for it, I imagine it has something to do with maintaining the patency of the IV cannula or ensuring the accuracy of labs (not mixed with flush/administered fluids)....

  25. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    Turd Ferguson replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    i mentioned this during my exit interview from nursing school, i discussed how nursing dx and care plans seem to have no place in real practice. the lead instructor for my program actually made this...
