    The Grinch of allnurses.com

    Today's torture: Nannie had my hubby taking all of her decorations out of 3 closets. She is jabbering a mile a minute about what she has and where she USED TO put it and where she is going to put it...

    The Grinch of allnurses.com

    I can watch It's a Wonderful Life every couple of years. I do like to watch Christmas in Connecticut, with Barbara Stanwyck, and another Christmas movie she is in with Fred MacMurray, but can't recall...

    The Grinch of allnurses.com

    Oh, yeah. Instant wall-to-wall Christmas songs all day, every day starting at 8 PM on Thanksgiving night. I seldom listen to the radio and I definitely don't go near "the malls" eeeeenywhere until...

    The Grinch of allnurses.com

    Yeah, I'll confess to a certain amount of Grinch-ness in me, and I'm right up there with most everything you mentioned. I sigh with exasperation and roll my eyes, though not always out loud. But...

    Exciting Changes Coming To allnurses

    I've got a little acer laptop. I have no clue how to screenshot anything. It's a little pic and I don't see how it would need cropping, and even if it did, that's another blank space in my so-called...

    I have tried and tried to download my Avatar picture, but can't get in to enter a new file (or even an old file) so I can save it. I can get on the page to edit it so it can be down or up-loaded...

    To Specialize or Not to Specialize?

    I guess it's different nowadays, but instead of searching out a certain specialty, I decided to go to the biggest, 'scariest' hospital I knew, and apply there. (MGH/Boston). They chose the floor they...

    Well, okay, then. Change happens. I don't really understand (or use) 2/3's of the stuff you spelled out, Joe, but that's okay as long as I always have access to the Blue Side. I need those people in...

    Jacob Rockstar-RN Psych Nurse Action Figure

    S-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s out in the back, as if there's more room there? Nah, maybe he has taken out the driver's seat and sits in the back seat to drive. His arms and legs could span the 'distance' to the...

    Writing Bad Orders

    This was a number of years ago, and I don't recommend it as a general rule, but ... When a doc complained about my charge nurse calling him so often for clarifications on his orders, she said to him,...

    Does drinking more water make you thirstier?

    Sometimes I go through the suggestion to drink more water. Tried it plain, with lemon, with cucumber slices, etc. I LOVE ice water, but there are times when drinking just water makes me feel thirstier...

    Loss of all personal freedom.

    "Skinheads" here where I live are really "only" shaved-headed, tattoo'd, tobacco-spittin', beer-swilling, Bubba-Rednecks. Granted they are not an especially fun crowd to be around en masse; they do...

    Loss of all personal freedom.

    Neats, you are so articulate, expressing things that (for the most part) go double for me. I appreciated your ability to organize addressing aspects of the discussion, and succinctly and cogently...

    Will marijuana ever be okay in nursing?

    Yes, marijuana isn't for children and adolescents; yes it CAN BE a "gateway drug". My husband worked w/ the Sheriff's Dept. said he'd whole lot rather deal with someone high on pot, than to have to...

    Sometimes, it just Stinks

    I spilled kerosene in the trunk of my new car once, and the carpeting reeked. Bought two small bags of cheap, store-brand coffee grounds and shook out the grounds to cover the small trunk's recently...
