I believe quoting the Christian bible creates connotation. This website is not a Christian forum, nor should it be. Your response quoting Leviticus would be akin to a poster stating hijab would solve the tattoo placement and size issue. This is just ...

(psssst cheerios.... You might have misread tone here. The poster seems to be saying that those tats were not by choice, and doesn't seem to be saying the tats are things they are proud of.)

Go on youtube. Search "Half Baked quit scene". That should do it.

Squeeeeee!

A little to the left, if you don't mind.

I need a pat on the back. I am amazing.

It's not derogatory, and it conveys a closeness in the team. "The" is much less familiar than "my". I do introduce with name and title, as in, "this is Dr. Doolittle, your hospitalist," but later on, the patient might ask something that prompts me to...

By the way, for anyone in Maryland, I believe this *might* be how you file a complaint against the MBON. Fire at Maryland nursing board offices investigated as arson - Baltimore Sun

Hopefully the F remains intact, AMIRITE?! :) Stubbornness abounds. Keyboards (especially non-bluetooth) are crazy cheap now. (The stubbornness comment is meant light-heartedly. I'm battling a car that might as well be held together by duct tape, and ...

Morte, I think your space bar is broken.

I just found this beautiful tutorial.

Sounds like a great intro for a movie I saw once.

My favorite hospitalist does this, too. :) We shared a patient one day who demanded he start her IV because she wanted better than a nurse. He literally laughed. Then apologized for laughing. Then explained that he doesn't know how to do that stuff a...

This surgeon works in and out of the hospital. "The nurses" are helping you while you are inpatient. "My nurse" will be the nurse who helps him outpatient. That would be my assumption. Apparently I possess a great many people. My teacher. My pedi...

It sounds like you already have your answer by the tone of your post. Corrections is hard, and it will suck your soul right out of your ear.

If you read the comments below the OP, you might find some better insight. Good luck to you in your job hunt and congratulations on passing the NCLEX!

You just turned my face 9 different shades of red! Thank you! :) Perhaps I will share it in an article. I like keeping stuff like this low key usually because the snowflakes become party poopers sometimes. :)

Yes!!!!! I can't wait to hear all about it! Thank you!

Who wants to host the next WILTW thread?

1. Everyone you are about to work with on the floor knows up front that you will suck. Be okay with you knowing you will suck. Try the best you can, and know you will make mistakes. YOU WILL. And everyone else knows it to. They expect it. You know wh...

I have learned it brings me joy to see you here. :) (I already knew that, but it's the VOLUME of joy I am experiencing.)

Thank you for this. My kids' pediatrician had terrible issues when they were little. Slow slow slow, terrible communication, other providers lacking in clinical and diagnostic skills. But their pediatrician, I loved beyond measure. It was a very har...

OMG Viva!!!! I am so, so sorry for your loss!

1945: Pt reports bowel movement over call bell intercom. Upon inspection, gown now teal superior to substernal region, fading into a green and then brown subumbilical area. Observed unassisted pt ambulation through hallways during shift change. Pt re...

If any of you recalls the WILTW about having a good cry, this was the guy! He survived, and when I got to see him again, we both enjoyed a fierce hug and a happy cry. :) He'd been in my patient group so many times over the period of roughly a year, a...
