    WILTW 7/24: Serving up specials

    My AN app just tanked, too. I can tell you for sure now that I just can't get as sucked into web version. Hoping tapatalk is good. If not, I'll need to pass this torch completely.
  4. Good lord I'm worn out. It's weird because I honest don't do as much as I did while working, but here I am. It's not as much body tired, but brain tired. Recent weeks have been eventful, though. Appointments, benefits crap, recovery crap, bakers cys...

  6. Don't miss this week's thread :)
  7. Thank you [emoji173]️ Our big storm was a few days ago. The thunder was house shakingly strong at about 0200, followed by lightening that lit the house like strobe lights. :\ I do wonder if we got our dog a puppy, would she be better at stuff like ...

    There are also the ones who tell you that you can't, in the HOPES you wont. To them, I proudly display two middle fingers and say, "WATCH ME." I only have one person like that in my world, and every ounce of her resentment brings me an ounce of satis...

    It's July. We get a milder influx in January, too.
  10. Thank you! [emoji173]️ I take it you may be near mid-Atlantic region? We got a loud and bright storm two nights ago. We also have an anxious dog.

    WILTW 7/27

    Hey, tbjock! New WILTW threads do typically start around the weekend, and have an organized process of launching the OP so that duplicate threads don't get made. They sort of have their own culture and "rules", so to speak. Would you like to host th...

    How to File a Complaint against BON

    I only check when the date should be updated to make sure the BON didn't screw up.

    How to File a Complaint against BON

    I don't do that, but I do keep a professional and educational experiences binder that has license expirations up front filed under tabs that organize by expiration date. My BON says they'll send a notice 90 days prior to expiration, but I know they s...

    Who needs a bigger pat on the back?

    I think of Dora, for my own kids growing up.

    WILTW 7/24: Serving up specials

    I once dropped the B bomb (bored) while offering to help another nurse. An hour or two later, I received a trauma patient who bled out into a chest tube and went into hemorrhagic shock before we could even hang enough drips to transfer him to tertiar...

    That Nurse

    This is what I get for adding responses before reading. I didn't realize there was not an order in place, nor would the MD give it. This negates some of my responses and for this, I apologize. ETA: I revised my comments. :)

    That Nurse

    This is something I can say I understand. I am sorry for the rough shifts.

    That Nurse

    What the hell am I doing here?

    That Nurse

    But that keyboard, though! morte, you've got me laughing my butt off over here! Anyone want to join in on a morte gofundme for some kind of solution to the mac vs. keyboard issues?

    That Nurse

    It appears I jumped on the bandwagon too soon.

    BSN nurses, how much did your schooling cost you?

    I did all of my pre-reqs and non-nursing courses at community college. This left me with an AA in general studies. My nursing education I did at a university. If I recall.... Community college was per credit, regardless of full time/part time status....

    Tattoos?

    I just realized Pinay said county jail. Who's giving tats in the county lock up?

    Tattoos?

    My spouse had to confiscate a beautifully handcrafted wooden-handle tattoo gun needle thing (I have no idea what this ess is called) from an inmate. He said the woodwork was so incredible he felt bad taking it.

    Tattoos?

    It's funny to consider this idea of tattoo stigma when a massive percentage of my veteran patients have tattoos down their arms, sometimes on both. Many make no attempt whatsoever to hide them, and they love telling stories related to them. They wear...

    Cheerios, you're having a boy. It is known. I have learned that LadyFree has had a deeply emotional week. Lady, if you have the support system in place still from when you've worked through your own traumas, please turn to it. Reading about your week...
