    Atheist at Catholic hospital

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to kaydensmom01's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Yes, the hospital I trained at was started by the Grey Nuns of Montreal way back when, as a TB hospital. Interestingly, our nsg.cap was fashioned as a scaled (way) down version of their swooping...

    Atheist at Catholic hospital

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to kaydensmom01's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I attended a nursing school connected to a Catholic hospital. I wasn't an atheist, I was just kind of generic, non-religious person at the time. I took the crucifix off the wall of my dorm room the...

    White Scrubs - CNA Clinicals

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to rndreams14's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    OMG. Now that you mention it, I remember seeing a nurse in white uniform pants who very obviously wore no undies and she had a generous amount of dark pubic hair. I was stunned. She couldn't have NOT...

    Yes, a pair of bikini undies dotted with red hearts, worn under white uniform pants was the inspiration for the rule in our Dress Code for #11.) No inappropriate underwear. The employee who could not...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to simplykim88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is definitely tough! Some folks can organize themselves, but it takes a lot of time and thought. Unfortunately that is the way it is at many LTC's nowadays, more often than not. I was one of the...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    Oh, heck yeah, tell them. It is the little fire under their sit-down to make them come up with shifts for you. If one agency can't fill your dance-card (40 hrs) you have to have a back-up. It lets...

    Well slap my forehead and call me silly! I actually saw one of THOSE names in the newspaper: A-a!!!!! Yes, and I still couldn't even BELIEVE it! Of course as with L-a, it is pronounced Adasha. This...

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

    Yeah, what I hate is the passive-aggressive co-worker and the gleeful backstabbers. Sometimes they are one and the same.

    Where there is smoke ... there is usually a cigarette

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

    I can honestly appreciate that! I feel that way myself, and I haven't ever even been through half of what you have. This lady I was telling about used to make a big joke how she got a 'legal high'...

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

    I worked at a small private hospital on the 'back-pain' floor. Some post laminectomy, some just as a chronic sufferer of back pain, unspecified. It was like a spa/drugs vacation for them. I actually...

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