    I hate being a nurse…

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Sav789's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Not trying to be obnoxious here, but am really wondering what made you choose nursing in the first place? I know how awful it is to have a job one hates; fortunately there were only a few of them...

    She is pretty appalling. There are a lot of twists to her 'understanding' and verbalizing/explaining things. Makes me shake my head and go "HUH???" Can't understand how she was re-elected to run...

    Hey, you'n's~ Got a call from hubby that the doc said he was ready to go home and it would be early afternoon before they got all the paperwork accomplished. Then at 11:30 he called and said "Are...

    PS I really should have known better than to get 'country-fried shrimp' at CrackerHead Restaurant. ICK. As an ex-New Englander who knows better than to get seafood so far in-land, I suppose I deserve...

    Hubby called a bit after the game was over and said the doc wanted to keep him there one more night. So, Nannie and I went to the grocery store and then got take-out at Cracker Barrel and came home....

    Poor sleep; my brain was running on and on until about 5:30 AM. Woke up at noon, gave Nannie her 'breakfast' and meds. Tried to rest for another 1/2 hour, but no dice. UGH. Called hubby at the...

    Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    That's the way to do things! We had sufficient staffing, and there was always someone to help out if needed. They divvied up the patient assignments so that no one ended up with the all the...

    CHAPTER XXIIIII (?) Well, so this morning I woke up at 9:30 AM to go pee. Hubby stood at the bottom of the stairs as I went back toward my bedroom. He said he really felt rough, hadn't slept...

    Where do I go from here?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to yudenisr's topic in Nursing Career

    No offense is meant by this, but I see so many posts from people who aren't "100% happy" in their position or the service they work within. Also see a lot of nurses hankering after their 'dream' job....

    Tweety, I don't see how your employer can require you to get your meds through their pharmacy. You said it's not as convenient for you as a quick run to CVS would be. Is it cheaper through the...

    Best and worst things to say/do when your patient dies to support the family/friends?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient is terminal, like a hospice patient, even if they don't seem 'with it', I tell family members to just sit by them, hold their hand and talk; say things you wish you'd said, tell the...

    That is very distressing. I did Home Health on weekends for 9 years. During that time I had an entire family jump on me when I walked in the door! And it was the first time I'd ever been there, met...
