    On the 3rd, my BP was ^ and I was told by a friend that maybe I should go to the ER. Uh-uh, no dice! I said "Do you think I want to go sit in the waiting room while a parade of fireworks-injured...

    What's 'General Specialties'?

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

    Okie-dokie, like outside-the-box miscellaneous specifics that have no place to call their own, in general. . . I'm sorry, I can't help it; now I'm just tossing a mishmash-salad of chopped up semantics...

    I graduated long ago w/ an LPN, and worked through an agency for years. Sometimes I would do CNA work for a patient when I was working Home Health, and when I was through with his personal care, I'd...

    Geez, I hate to say this out loud, lest a plague of rhinos fall from the sky and strike me daid, but I really don't care for Orson Welles or pretty much any film in which I've seen him. *ducks, and...

    Rumors and who's in charge??

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Once, two other CG's decided they didn't like me (because the patient did) and every week they would call in complaints about me. Stupid complaints, at that. I was the one who went to the doc with...

    Contacted multiple times for same empty shift

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

    At one time, our (former) DON pulled out all the stops, simply because if the must-staff case had no one to cover a shift, SHE would have to do it herself. After that happened a couple of times, she...

    Contacted multiple times for same empty shift

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

    I don't have trouble saying no. It's only when the caller starts whining and cajoling that I 'make up' a reason: 'I don't think you'd want me to, I'm on my second glass of wine.' Once someone called...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Rumors... In college, my best friend discovered over summer break that she was lesbian. That fall, because we still hung out together (we made each other laugh like total lunatics) there were rumors...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to simplyFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Whew! Good for you! I worked in a husband and wife office once and BOTH were docs. They thought their quick-fire bickering-bickering-bickering was amusing, I guess in a 1930's madcap-movies kind of...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to fallie14's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yeah, I think your nerves are normal. New grad, new to a hospital and moved to a new state? Maybe it's excitement mixed in with the fear? I know I used to really look forward to making changes in my...

    What happened to common sense?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sad to say, common sense has left the building. If 'everything' is right there on the Internet, you don't have to think, or know anything; all you have to do is crank up the search engine, type in...

    I can think of so many inappropriate responses to that patient's comment, that if I posted them, TOS would yank me into next Tuesday over it! Then my last sight would be a close-up of DD's mouth,...

    I knew a doc long ago who used to stop by the OR suites when his colleagues were doing operations, 'just to see how things were going.' As he was leaving, he'd look at the patient's chart, noting...
