  1. types of co-workers/patients to be aware of. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE?

    JeneraterRN replied to tater.jake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hear you guys on that one, too. A recent article in one of our local papers found that someone on a corner with a sign made $40,000 a year doing so (which I'm certain he declared when he filed his...

  2. Why so nasty?

    JeneraterRN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh, I don't think the world has changed much, just our methods in dealing with the rude people. In the not so distant past, people in my native Montana shot those that offended them without too much...

  3. A little perspective

    JeneraterRN replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! That would have been spooky. Unfortunately, there was no way to split them up. We've a small ED, and we service the surrounding 80 miles. I guess I was telling the story to illustrate the...

  4. A little perspective

    JeneraterRN replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    It's easy to get caught up in one's own personal drama without seeing the struggles of those all around. Hopefully, none of the victims heard her rant about traffic. There was an occasion where we...

  5. types of co-workers/patients to be aware of. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE?

    JeneraterRN replied to tater.jake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The "yes I'll come in on my day off" nurse/CNA:. These are the ones who sacrifice personal time to save your keister on a short staffed day. Gotta love them!! The social worker that loves her low...

  6. What's the craziest thing you've heard over the ambulance radio?

    JeneraterRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone, I ran a search for this one and didn't find it, so I apologize if this is a repeat thread. Just for fun, what is the craziest or funniest thing you've heard over the ambulance...

  7. What's the craziest thing you've heard over the ambulance radio?

    JeneraterRN replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    We used to have a couple in town that would like some space from each other. When they would fight, one or the other would call an ambulance for transport for some bogus complaint. We almost didn't...

  8. Lactated Ringers vs .9NS

    JeneraterRN replied to Cindy 17's topic in General Nursing

    LR vs. NS is a common debate. By the books, LR is the closest to blood crystalloids, so many believe this to be the first choice for trauma, surgery, and OB where there is a potential for blood loss....

  9. What's the craziest thing you've heard over the ambulance radio?

    JeneraterRN replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is great! Thanks for all the wonderful stories. Keep them

  10. That Feeling

    JeneraterRN replied to jnrsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    It's always a joy when you've made someone's day better, no matter how small. Congrats to you for finding you

  11. Math on NCLEX-RN

    JeneraterRN replied to Cindy 17's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Relax.....your nervousness alone can defeat you in your math. This is a very subjective question that depends upon the responder's mathematic ability. Personally, I did not find the math to be...

  12. Does working L&D make you want more babies?

    JeneraterRN replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in Ob/Gyn

    L&D is the best birth control ever for me! Most babies are born into stable families here, but taking care of mom and babes with complex home issues or unstable situations makes me grateful for...

  13. Take off your pants...

    JeneraterRN replied to 313RN's topic in General Nursing

    Fantastic!

  14. Catheter size for blood and K level

    JeneraterRN replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Nursing

    I realize this isn't what they meant, but when they say "concentrated potassium solution," it makes me think of lethal injection strength. Anyway, in our facility, we usually go with a 20 gauge for...

  15. Ok, this one hasn't been done in a while....

    JeneraterRN replied to FancypantsRN's topic in General Nursing

    My friends and I were playing football, and we thought it would be hilarious to add a little WWF flair. One shouted, "I am the EVISCORATOR!!!" I responded, "I am the Jen....erator.". Unfortunately,...

  16. I Feel Like The Most Incompetent Nurse Ever!

    JeneraterRN replied to tonet0908's topic in General Nursing

    Vancomycin......versed? Does that sound

  17. Why so nasty?

    JeneraterRN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess this may be a bit forward for some, but I'd probably ask her, "Are you going to train me, or would you rather work short handed?" Not knowing policies and procedures, also, may be more of a...

  18. Jackson Surveys question

    JeneraterRN replied to sweetnepenthe's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital has an employee opinion survey every year. The last one that was done was during a time of great unrest in our department, so there were quite a few comments given. As far as I know, it...

  19. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    JeneraterRN replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't forget nights vs. days! It doesn't end because people don't want it to. Each group can snicker amongst themselves about how much better they are than the other to get an ego boost. Too bad it...

  20. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    JeneraterRN replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Goodness! This is quite the discussion. Some respondents have thought the OP to be a troll. I disagree. Contrarian is perhaps a closer term. Without knowing the OP personally, the responses thus...

  21. Why don't we treat each other better?

    JeneraterRN replied to Raquel8's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To add to what Commuter stated, there is a mentality that I believe is fairly common among all groups and workplaces-the schoolyard pecking order. For some, they feel like a bigger, better person by...

  22. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    JeneraterRN replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ahhh, that was a very interesting thread. I don't have anything to add to the discussion, but I want to say to Moogie that I love reading your posts (and a Trekkie to boot). Man, I haven't seen such...

  23. What do you do if you are assigned a patient you know outside of work?

    JeneraterRN replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with CompleteUnknown. I wouldn't be able to work if I was asked to be reassigned when I know someone. There are men I know would be extremely uncomfortable with me caring for them, and when that...

  24. Not sure of what to do....help

    JeneraterRN replied to janthi's topic in General Students

    I'd say take the class. You may be lost in bio 202 without 201, and many times you need electives anyway. The content will certainly help you in your future career (I'm assuming it is in...

  25. What is the worst thing you see on your floor?

    JeneraterRN replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd have to say the malignant testicular tumor the size of a basketball that ruptured. The man hadn't been able to walk for quite some time. Major
