  1. Nursing school friends = regular friends?

    anonymurse replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No. I don't mix business and pleasure, never have. It ruins

  2. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    anonymurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a find: "UNKNOWN

  3. Can your license be revoked over assault?

    anonymurse replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Without condoning either chickening out or going ape (mandatory politically correct disclaimer), another way to phrase that question might be--even if they threw the book at her and did their worst,...

  4. When called to fill in, what should I be paid?

    anonymurse replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    Just give me the extra hours at regular pay. I don't care so long as I'm fresh and sharp for the extra time, and so long as I'm not going to compromise being fresh and sharp on the next scheduled...

  5. I'm an idiot

    anonymurse replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Your instincts count for something, and if they're warning you off, you might want to listen. I don't work at a nursing home, and you didn't say whether you were going to work as a nurse or CNA,...

  6. Nclex-rn Result Clue Please.

    anonymurse replied to Yitta17's topic in General Nursing

    It's looking for your level. From what I hear, if it gets harder as you go, you're doing better. If it stays the same, you're "riding the line" between passing and failing. If it gets easier, you're...

  7. Living situation

    anonymurse replied to NellieP73's topic in General Nursing

    I was once a picky sleeper but I trained myself out of it. I developed selective attention. If one of the kids makes the slightest sound or if I hear any noise at the doors or windows, I'm instantly...

  8. Rich nurses?

    anonymurse replied to tiij's topic in General Nursing

    I heard that! I don't know about elsewhere, but if you're a man in America, you're the family breadwinner, and you are judged accordingly. No bacon, no respect. So you put food on the table and you...

  9. Does your hospital offer a pension?

    anonymurse replied to ExCorporateRN's topic in General Nursing

    Mine is gradually phasing out of pensions. I don't think much of pensions (except Federal retirements) because they depend on the future solvency of the organization, and I see hard times ahead....

  10. Can a state board deny an applicant from sitting for the NCLEX exam?

    anonymurse replied to mml115's topic in General Nursing

    If I were in your shoes, while it would be natural to worry (I'm not going to tell you not to worry), I'd also keep in mind the board members are undoubtedly imbued with the nursing ethic that...

  11. Creating sustainability for a nursing career.

    anonymurse replied to anonymurse's topic in General Nursing

    Reading over your posts, I see I left out lots of things, things I do and things I ought to do, and some ideas I ought to pursue that are in apparent opposition to others I ought also to pursue....

  12. What Would You Love to Find in the Break Room?

    anonymurse replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    Good thought! You know how hard it is to get eel sushi at 3

  13. A lonely journey?

    anonymurse replied to tiij's topic in Men in Nursing

    Nope.

  14. The Great Double Standard?

    anonymurse replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have to drag in a female chaperone to check for impaction or to insert a foley. If I have to bring in a female RN, that's one wasted RN. If I have to bring in a female aide, that's one aide tied up...

  15. What is your favorite flip-flops?

    anonymurse replied to Sammi15's topic in General Nursing

    Accel (bought at SM for P350). They are the rigid foamy kind with an adjustable velcro strap for perfect fit and NO post between the toes. Similar models with a fixed strap can be found in Divisoria...

  16. Walmart flip flops

    anonymurse replied to RosesrReder's topic in General Nursing

    American flip-flops? We don't make anything any more. One of the reasons "Papa Joe" Kennedy found himself out of stocks and in cash about 18 months before the 1929 stock market crash is because he...

  17. Charting Help Please

    anonymurse replied to Kristi Lee's topic in General Nursing

    Assessments aren't much trouble. The main thing is not to forget charting anything important. My memory is terrible, so I carry a tiny notepad into the room and scribble as I go. Having a routine is...

  18. Hospital Diploma Programs in VA

    anonymurse replied to despitetheserains's topic in Virginia Nursing

    While stationed on the Peninsula, I ended up taking family members to local hospitals and visiting friends there. After studying the different workplace cultures very intently (there was a huge...

  19. NCP for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

    anonymurse replied to akosiotep's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Discharge day is the easiest day to plan. It's all about d/c

  20. Please Help!!!!

    anonymurse replied to Danusia522's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Try one. I love my $200 thinklabs ds32a and http://www.balkowitsch.com let me try it out (credit card refunded if not thrilled), see if he'll do that for

  21. What Is The Least Stressful Nursing Specialty?

    anonymurse replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    If multitasking is stressful, home health might be least stressful (one pt at a

  22. WHAT DO NURSES DO? --help me respond to this question

    anonymurse replied to RiaRN's topic in General Nursing

    The doctors need to know what nurses do? That's one line. Nurses keep doctors out of court. Who cares about the rest from the doctor's

  23. New exclusions on renewal of NSO liability insurance.

    anonymurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone check out CNA's G-147292-A rider that applies to renewals? There are new exclusions here, Silica, Mold and Asbestos. Seemed innocuous enough, all related to environmental liability. But this...

  24. New exclusions on renewal of NSO liability insurance.

    anonymurse replied to anonymurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I overthink exclusions, because an entire office full of lawyers overthought them before they threw them at me. And nobody's gonna inhale an ampule top, but I sure could see one ending up in a...

  25. Failed NCLEX...after miserable 265 q. English second language... Can someone help?

    anonymurse replied to BGmedsestra's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe you misinterpreted questions, but maybe not in the way you think. Maybe you understood the words just fine, but maybe you thought they were asking something they weren't. For instance, say you...
