  1. what is the most beautiful thing in being a nurse?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to smily11's topic in General Nursing

    It really makes me happy when a patient that I took care of some time in the past remembers me and is happy with the care that I gave them. I strive to be as caring compassionate and empathetic as...

  2. Working for the VA

    Five&Two Will Do replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked at this VA for 7 years now. I started as a CNA and then finished school. I like the VA and know that as far as benefits and pay, you cannot beat it anywhere. As some have mentioned,...

  3. Orienting woes!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to KeechieSan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of my teachers in school had mentioned something like this to us. It is crazy to think of somebody carrying a nurse's license thinking that it would make sense to do such a thing. I think I...

  4. Calling a Patient 'Sugar': Abuse?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Trancelation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I initially give my patients the respect of call them Mr or Mrs. I am younger than most all of my patients and I think that this is appropriate. I find, however, that most of the time they do not...

  5. Where do you take temps??

    Five&Two Will Do replied to KittyLovinRN's topic in General Nursing

    No I just noticed that I get weird readings if I do not actually put it on the neck below the ear and hold it there for a second and release the button while it is still in full contact with the

  6. Where do you take temps??

    Five&Two Will Do replied to KittyLovinRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have those thermometers here too. I don't notice that they are generally lowr than other methods though. At what point in the process are you letting go of the

  7. Should I quit my ICU job?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to StellaMarisRN's topic in Critical Care

    Nope not in the least. People that treat other like you describe should not be aloud to precept at all. It doesn't sound like the nurse educator is worth a darn either. They are probably jealous or...

  8. What should I do about the patient from hell?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to mountain_biker_88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is wonderul advice and much more eloquent and appropriate than my recomendation for the old pillow Treatment. Just kidding never done that

  9. Staff Meetings: What Are They Good For?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to steelydanfan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am too tired in the morning to hang around for a staff meeting. I will just read the minutes. It is funny how just by reading it, one can realize that its the SOS over and over again. I realize I...

  10. The CEO said WHAT!!!!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to resumecpr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well there is one good thing about working nightshift, it turns my relationship with management into something that resembles a poor choice for a one night stand-I only have to see them for a minute...

  11. The CEO said WHAT!!!!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to resumecpr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well I will agree with the pain in the butt part anyway,

  12. Would love some advice......

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Punkygrl's topic in General Nursing

    I actually laughed out loud when I read the part about the LPN's that "all have a bad back". We had those too! I think it is terrible and I hope lpn's don't think that i am generalizing any...

  13. Would love some advice......

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Punkygrl's topic in General Nursing

    I did exactly what you ae toaking about doing. I wanted a good stable career that gave me a bit more satisfaction than the job I had. I chose the CNA because it was a quick and easy way for me to...

  14. New RN on the verge of a breakdown.... Help!!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to RN1221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    School is not enough to prepare us for the floor. When I graduated I was on a floor where the ratio was like yours. I remember thinking in clinical how would I ever care for 2 let alone 6. It comes...

  15. New RN on the verge of a breakdown.... Help!!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to RN1221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds like you are right where you are supposed to be. I felt the same way in my first year of nursing and then again when I started in the ICU. Just follow the rules of med administration. Ask...

  16. Are nurses "above" menial pt tasks?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think anyone likes cleaning up a big BM or emesis or a big load of pulmonary toilet. It is part of the job. I do like straightening up the patient's room and bed and untangling all of the...

  17. 0.9 points kept me from graduating with my ADN. What to do?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Jess1980's topic in General Students

    I know that the schools that are online only are very expensive. You also want to check what accreditation they have. I can only imagine that you feel terrible. The same thing happened to a couple...

  18. 0.9 points kept me from graduating with my ADN. What to do?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Jess1980's topic in General Students

    I am sorry that this happened. I know it is terrible, but perhaps you can take the last semester over next

  19. Rehab Nursing advice please...not a real nurse?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to leolomb's topic in Rehabilitation

    We have a rehab unit here at this hospital. As has already been stated, those nurses really do have to work hard and know their stuff. They have all kinds of patients with resistant infections that...

  20. So do you really...

    Five&Two Will Do replied to LouisVRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am work in an MICU so I usually only have 2 patients. This makes it much easier to do a thorough assessment. I definately listen to lungs, heart, bowels. I talk about breathsounds, quality of...

  21. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You are right of course and I apologize. It's not really the word choice so much as the attitude. I gave ER nurses compliments in my earlier

  22. The CEO said WHAT!!!!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to resumecpr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah perhaps a failed joke. I can picture some sort of uptight kinda fellow with his tie and all that (stereotypical executive type that I affectionately refer to as parkinglot filler) standing in...

  23. The CEO said WHAT!!!!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to resumecpr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Surely there was more to the statement than just that. I cannot imagine a ceo saying this in a place where the largest service is nursing. I think the poster is from Canada though so I am not sure...

  24. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually it is not a different point of view. It is exactly the same as all of the rest of the ER defender's points of view. I actually was trying to enlighten you to the fact that I had commended...

  25. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You read one post without reading the rest? I had already received the an adequate explanation to my question from the other defender of the ER nurses. I have no problem with the ER. I have lots of...
