    I'll have to investigate; he must not have been on any of the treads I visit. ETA: Okay, I just checked his posts and oddly enough I'd encountered most of them. Apparently I wasn't impressed enough to...

    He's NOT stupid, he is mute because he was born without a mouth. Some kids at MIT have built him a 3D mouth on their computer. Now he wants ME to create an opening for his new mouth. So, are you...

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

    For my MiL there should be a space on the intake/assessment sheet where you can list DELUSIONS. Like, for example, "I can't breathe" .... said when she has normal color, normal pulse and normal...

    What do you mean you're sick? How dare you!

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nursing Humor

    If I was asked the above, it would so stun me that I would probably have given my standard answer to a stupid question...."Uh, I dunno; what's your BEST GUESS?"

    Tough point in my life

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

    Just riffing off roser13's thread, but didn't put her post in quotes. Sorry. I usually do that. Anyway, I wasn't coming down on OP, I was responding to a pet peeve and this probably was not the right...

    Tough point in my life

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

    Imagine trying to read a run-on sentence a full page long. If you TRIED to write it that way, it would be difficult and require a lot of thought. But some people can do it easily by ignoring commas...

    As I used to do with a borrowed cigt lighter, I also do with a borrowed pen: Stand beside said borrower and the very second they are done with it, I have my hand out to have it returned to me....

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

    It is very difficult to 'paint a picture' of a patient's true condition by clicking on boxes; invariably the computer-clicking mode of charting is missing something, and ignored by all except those...

    Am quite familiar with that occurring state of whatever it is! My mother used to call it "hitting a slick spot" in her brain; Like you would find when you put your foot down, in your normal stride,...

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

    Well, I'm not allergic to Zofran, but it does absolutely nothing for N/V with me. I put it under my list of allergies simply so (hopefully) someone will not take an order for that and give it to me....

    Don't know if this would work for you or not; is there another, different hospital ER you could go to? Because what I did when I got to bottoming out in my life, was, I called my Dr's office and said...

    Nursing is becoming stupid

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

    Sounds like the Trickle-Down-Theory. There's already plenty of patient 'flowing' of various bodily fluids going on in an Emergency Dept. Sounds like a relay race! Remember the old 1950's game show...

    I'd use up most of the blue and all of the black ink....and have six pens with only red and green inks left. Couldn't bear to just throw them away, so I put 'em in the grand-daughters' "Toy" Box....
