  1. What's the biggest mistake you've ever made as a nurse? What did you learn from it?

    bsveillon replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I once gave an injection, back when I was still intimidated by older nurses and Doctors, And I was told to give a Morphine injection, when I went to check the chart for myself for drug allergies, I...

  2. Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

    bsveillon replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I saw a DON tell that to a patient one time in the ER, he told him, "Please, next time, finish the job so we won't be forced to take you any more." I told him he was a sorry excuse for a nurse...

  3. Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

    bsveillon replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that's probably another thread, but I'll say it anyway. Non-nursing folks, including patients and family members, wouldn't have any opinions about different licenses if the industry wouldn't put...

  4. US nurses... what makes you do it??!! (rhetorical question alert!!!)

    bsveillon replied to purplesteth's topic in General Nursing

    Although, here in south louisiana, any day of the week you'd be able to get a full-time nursing job. It all depends ont he region,

  5. US nurses... what makes you do it??!! (rhetorical question alert!!!)

    bsveillon replied to purplesteth's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to believe you would have a huge advantage getting a job in a "closer to normal" market- if for nothing else, you're experience. I know when I'm in the hospital, I am very picky about the...

  6. Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

    bsveillon replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I get comments all time about being "Just" an LPN. I was told last week, "You should really consider become an R.N. because you're too good to be just and L.P.N." I've nurses I've known for a long...

  7. What all ER nurses need to watch.... soooo funny

    bsveillon replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

  8. Do you have any authority in your LTC facility?

    bsveillon replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You must not been in the work force long. I remember catching one nurse having sex in the hospital! Totally believable that someone would say

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. Very funny. Ok, You're right, My mistake. Well, You're right and wrong. Right, I misread your comment, wrong about my "MO" being drama. but anyway, have a good day. P.S., the point is, I'm not...

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    What I call drama is taking something small and making it big. If calling your job "Easy" is the WORST and MOST DISRESPECTFUL thing you've heard from a fellow nurse, then you must lead a very boring...

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Louisiana. I must apologize. Like I've tried to state, I was harsh on ed nurses. I've seen that now. But, my point is, this is my experience, not to be a stereotype of all ER nurses. I'm sure I've...

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    actually, i have walked in your shoes, as i've stated a couple of times already on this thread. as i've also stated, this is not a "gospel truth" statement, but my experience says that most of the er...

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    How simple is that? The concept simple to me. OH! Don't let anyone else read this- this might beat me out for being "the most disrespectful thing I've heard from a fellow nurse". How dare

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Cool, graceful.

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

    No one picks on him for his sarcasm! lol Just

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You're quite welcome, I think I picked it up from my E.R. years- unfortunatly it hasn't worn off yet. Seriously, I think name-calling and disdain are strong words. Look we all know "those" nurses. No...

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly the drama I'm talking about! Alright. Allow me restate this in a hopefully less "offensive" way. I have worked in E.R.s for a few years. In my experience it is easy COMPARED TO floor nursing....

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, these threads get ugly quick, I figured I'd get my two-cents in before it gets closed.

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

    bsveillon replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I just laughed uncontrollably just reading the title to this post! Oh my Gosh! I've worked E.R. on and off for years, Its actually very easy compared to floor nursing and ltc. But don't try to...

  21. Help, do Urgent Care clinics hire student nurses?

    bsveillon replied to su9032's topic in Emergency

    If an MA can get a job, SURELY a nursing student should be able

  22. Nursing(NA/LPN/RN) vs Medical Assistant***VENT

    bsveillon replied to floridanurse1983's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think I would have hit her with a few pharm and assesment questions- heavy ones- ones, I would have also asked her what planet does she come off of? I also would have asked why is she so lazy not to...

  23. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    bsveillon replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Another one, I saw a girl come in for abdominal pain, and, to her "surprise", she's in labor 1 hr later. She says, "I can't be pregnant!" Yeah- the boyfriend was there. Big surprise

  24. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    bsveillon replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I had a 26 y/o come in complaining of a snake bite. We rushed her in, laid her on the bed, her family's giving the info to the admit clerk-(as you can picture it, it's a dramatic scene). I'm asking...

  25. Changing Careers

    bsveillon replied to novairene's topic in General Nursing

    I know we're not supposed to get upset with patients or their family members, but that just burns me up. I had that happen to me. This guy who didn't know me did the same thing. I told him I had been...
