  1. Jcaho

    NurseCherlove replied to CSHRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just love how so many things that are supposed to be "pro patient" end up being anti-nurse (read: more idiotic

  2. MDs that lie.......

    NurseCherlove replied to southernatheart's topic in General Nursing

    SOrry, off topic here, but that's just really cool that the doc knew his stuff so well that he could practice medicine in his

  3. Is it just me?

    NurseCherlove replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    TigerGalLE, In NO way should you think it's just you, that there is a problem with you!! Did your charge even step in to help at all?? I can all too much sympathize with you, especially that feeling...

  4. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    NurseCherlove replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    That truly just turns my stomach to read that :angryfire!! So freakin' insensitive that that nurse would question how you conduct yourself in your practice as a nurse! But then again, maybe that...

  5. For all the nurses that want to quit...

    NurseCherlove replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    What areas did you work in before? Some kind of acute care? I ask b/c maybe you could go to part-time sooner than 6 months. Usually places will allow employees to scale back when they are at least...

  6. Hypersomniac moving soon to nights! Have I messed up?

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    Not off topic at all (not for me at least - I would do about anything to feel "normal", so I'm all ears!). Actually, that is not a bad idea. All other labwork usually looks good, but I haven't...

  7. Hypersomniac moving soon to nights! Have I messed up?

    NurseCherlove posted a topic in General Nursing

    I currently work days (7A-7P) and I will be moving to nights, and on a different unit, in a couple of weeks. I have always wanted to try working nights since I have always been a night owl, but I am...

  8. Nursing as We Age.....

    NurseCherlove replied to acw2's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm. Not a bad thought atall. He always did say that if he did not do GI, he would've liked to be a plastic surgeon, helping people to look and feel better about

  9. Hypersomniac moving soon to nights! Have I messed up?

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    Funny you should ask...I actually was misdiagnosed back in my 20's and took synthroid for close to 10 years. I was diagnosed before going to nursing school, but later tried to find ways to justify...

  10. Hypersomniac moving soon to nights! Have I messed up?

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    Now that was my next question....I have heard that this works for some people. But it does seem like it would be hard on your body doing that. How can you get anything done if you don't somewhat...

  11. Hypersomniac moving soon to nights! Have I messed up?

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    WoW! I'm sooo glad to know that someone can relate! You said it perfectly about feeling like a freak. I too am somehow just always so tired during daytime hours - which I hate because I really do...

  12. Department heads yippeeee!

    NurseCherlove replied to BRWRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Now THAT is quite unusual. Given the state of affairs these days, I guess I would feel a bit protective

  13. Hypersomniac moving soon to nights! Have I messed up?

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    Cool, thanks! That 4 hour window thing does make sense. In fact, with that in mind, this night shift thing may actually be better for me since the earliest I would ever just wake up on my own would...

  14. Department heads yippeeee!

    NurseCherlove replied to BRWRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Frankly, I was speaking more from the hospital point of view. Moreover, I was really thinking more about the perspective of nurses/working conditions. Sorry, got a little off from the original topic...

  15. Nursing as We Age.....

    NurseCherlove replied to acw2's topic in General Nursing

    WOW Maisy, I think that is an awesome idea - to combine the loyalty of your family with such complimentary skillsets! That's like me and my fiancee. He's a GI doc and my goal is to become a Cardiac...

  16. Hypersomniac moving soon to nights! Have I messed up?

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, you're scaring me a little. I just keep telling myself, "It's only for 6 months or so. You can handle anything for 6 months." What I'm hoping for is for a position on this new unit to open up...

  17. Hypersomniac moving soon to nights! Have I messed up?

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    Now THAT I will be looking forward to!!!!! And just less chaos in

  18. Hypersomniac moving soon to nights! Have I messed up?

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    Well, here's the thing....I had a sleep study just within this past year to R/O sleep apnea and also narcolepsy. Sleep apnea was ruled out. I mostly failed the test so narcolepsy pretty much ruled...

  19. Department heads yippeeee!

    NurseCherlove replied to BRWRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I wonder if there are any forums out there where administrators discuss how no one understands just how hard they have it and why everyone thinks they are so greedy and disgusting? Another...

  20. Whats the best job in healthcare?

    NurseCherlove replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, that's what it's all about - not completely hating to drive up to your workplace like I do so often these days (as a bedside RN). Thanks - that is definitely something to

  21. Whats the best job in healthcare?

    NurseCherlove replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question... My dream job is to become a Cardiac NP. It's either that for me, or just pretty much get out of healthcare altogether, or maybe just work as an RN 1X/month or less. However,...

  22. Whats the best job in healthcare?

    NurseCherlove replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    She said she had never heard of a cardiologist with a functional home, explaining that the job takes so much out of them, they have nothing left to give their families. My fiance was offered a...

  23. Nursing Judgement...A thing of the past?

    NurseCherlove replied to Jelli_Belli's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly! I actually have had this very situation come up in the hospital, where a patient w/ ETOH hx said he fell. HOwever, on further questioning, he was drunk. No other problems with...

  24. Why does everyone in healthcare not like their jobs?

    NurseCherlove replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Ah nursing.... Anyway, I would like to hear more about these other professions and how MDs, pharmacists, etc. would not recommend others to join their professions. I know I have heard one really...

  25. I need opinions please!!!!!

    NurseCherlove replied to ShpTwnBllr's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, MA should be out right away if you already know that you want to be an RN - why waste time learning about things like insurance filing, paperwork, and how to run the front office at an...
