    "stop isolating yourself"

    Nahhhhh I'm just a jukebox hero with the eye stars and everything. Although.... I imagine Romance for Sundowners could be a most awesome genre.

    You need to google nursing buzz words. Look them over. Think about ways you've done each and every one of those buzzwords in your prior jobs. Prior work experience absolutely is relevant. You just have to figure out how, and let them know.

    WILTW 8/5/16

    Glad you found it because when I searched for it again, it was not where I left it!
  4. I am having the hardest time tapping "quote" and getting a response to post. This is really glitchy today. OP, I do not regret asking if you are a nurse. It is not childish, damaging, or whatever the other word is. Your OP and first comment read to m...
  5. I love this post. I had a Lung Ca admitted for pneumonia. Family stayed with him 24 hrs. They loved me because I listened. They felt blown off frequently, so we got along well. One night, he just wasn't right. No sure reason why. Hemodynamics were WN...
  6. Bookmarks is an odd space. But I just now found how to go to my previous posts. That's a start. This week (8/13) is up! https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/8-13-this-1064758.html

    WILTW 8/5/16

    I found this thread!!!! Omg I can't believe I just found it. It was on, like, page 4 of search results. Guys.... There is a new thread up now. I didn't expect to actually find this thread, so I didn't save the link. I'll try to come back with it. If ...

    "stop isolating yourself"

    In my head, after I read a story by you, I secretly end it with, "then I popped a cap in his ass," and imagine you standing in glorious rock star 80s poses with smoke/steam billowing behind you as car headlights beam through it toward you. Then in to...
  9. This, and OP is being "punished" by being put on night shift, rather than the rude gossipy nurses being dealt with or being "punished". Frankly, night shift is where all the fun nurses hide (including me ) so you'd totally have a blast on night shif...
  10. What is a CI? I imagine I am late to this party and probably am beating a dead horse (I've read no other responses yet), but see where your mind has gone FIRST? Can you palpate a pulse? Is the patient responsive? The beeping machines got your atten...
  11. Oh, dear lord, someone please tell me how to get a list on desktop that used to be the bookmarks list on app?
  12. I realized the link never posted. No one will ever convince me desktop is better. Here is the 8/5 WILTW - https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/wiltw-8-5-1063634.html
  13. First, YOU ARE A WARRIOR!!!!! This first year will damn near destroy you. And just when you think you really can't deal with the frustration of it anymore, you will have an "a-ha!!!!!" moment that you will know is tiny and ALMOST meaningless, but it ...
  14. I work far away to avoid the awkwardness as well. It's rare I see anyone, but when I do, for some reason it's always the really terrible people who I would shield my children from. I hide to avoid contact. (Boy do I wish I were just kidding.) My spou...
  15. My AN friends, our WILTW threads do have a process involved for who does the OPs. I am ALWAYS excited for someone else to host because we all see nursing from different viewpoints, especially across other specialties. The only time I've ever told som...
  16. I'm so sad without an app for AN. I really don't forsee me being here regularly. And also, what the Cumberbatch is going on with these ad photos?!
  17. FIRST RULE OF WILTW THREADS: this is happy kitty hug land. No arguments, please! ❤️ Sent from my TARDIS using Tapatalk
  18. In theory, sitting shouldn't be this awful if all of your spine bits and pieces are okay. It might be a good idea to get this checked out. (Says the girl who just had lumbar fusion after spinal fractures led to spondylolisthesis.) Sent from my TARDI...

    WILTW 7/24: Serving up specials

    Ahhhhh I get to geek out on all the things!!!!!!! Sent from my TARDIS using Tapatalk
  21. The two words in my brain after reading this are "nurse liaison." In healthcare, education (especially to naysayers) is the way to bridge these gaps. I've had one patient go GIP on my shift and everyone was all a-flutter to get it in the computer NOW...
  22. I'm putting my money on a tick being in there. Bug extraction should happen easily with a flush, except an attached tick. Damn, that sucks. Sent from my TARDIS using Tapatalk
