    In my defense, I know her job is a frustrating, monotonous one that she dreads. I couldn't imagine having to call busy nurses over and over, all day long. I was hoping to give her a quick giggle. I...

    There are a ton of drugs that can be a hell of a drug! About offensive humor - we have a pain in the ass monitor tech who frankly is more full of herself than I know how to deal with. She called to...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    ixchel replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    If this were true, we would have been replaced with robots decades ago. Unfortunately, you're stuck with me. I have moods, good days, bad days, easy days, hard days, and unfortunately you may get...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    ixchel replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Anesthesia2G, the compensation comments are coming up in response to the students who continue to say that we are required to teach students because they've paid a lot for their education. They feel...

    What's the strangest phone conversation you've ever had at work?

    ixchel replied to Brekka's topic in Nursing Humor

    Monitor tech calls me while I'm in a patient room (not room 9). Tech: your patient in room 9 needs batteries changed. She's down to red now. Me: it's okay if she dies. She's discharged anyway. I hang...

    What happened to MOM?

    ixchel replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC
