    Higher Calling

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to guest449786's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So here's my simplistic take on *my* nursing career. I was sick a lot as a child and was very self-conscious and introverted. My mother was a nurse and she always had ways to make me feel better. I...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Excuse me, Ruby, but I beg to differ. Last night I had a private duty shift with a 98 y.o. woman in her own apt. at a retirement center. She is still ambulatory with a walker, a little confused...

    Lordy, I know what it is, I don't have to Google it. I was just wondering how the poster figured what she was talking about qualified as 'throwing" ec., etc. Just never mind. It was a comment aimed...

    Black Humour

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

    I don't think this is 'black humor' exactly, more like 'what were you thinking?' Driving home after a 3-11 one night, about 3/4 of a mile down the road I saw walking along a guy with his hospital gown...

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

    It seems kind of sad that with the title of this thread and the following explanation of black humor, like Maverick said above, that people would even bother to come on to this thread just to tsk-tsk...

    I hate night shift

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

    I am still just reeling about the idea of getting on day shift and then asking your manager if you can get off early from that. I do know of some hospitals that once upon a time offered staggered 8...

    So, when my mother decided to give up driving we were kind of surprised, but relieved she'd made the decision herself. She had driven her camper all over the United States for years. But, she said,...

    Did any of you humbugs ever watch M*A*S*H ?, The End?, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb?, Dr StrangeLove? Sometimes the most sane response to a tragic situation is laughter. I had a...

    New Grad feeling depressed, anxious and hopeless

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to MedSurgRN193's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I, too, was very reluctant about taking medications for the depression I'd had for quite a long time without even realizing it. In fact, when my doc ventured the opinion that my problems sounded more...

    Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

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

    Amongst the non-cursing folks here-abouts, "dad-blame", "dad-gem", and "gol-dern" are pretty popular. I have managed to curtail my previously marine-influenced cursing, and now say things like...
