I married a computer geek who CAN'Thandle being around anyone who is sick. When we were first married he came home spitting nails. Someone hung up on him, his computer program crashed and his color printer didn't work. He snapped at me and said "And how was your day?" I calmly and rather offhandedly told him, "Well after the lady threw up on me it went pretty well." He didn't say another word all night. Also, the first thanksgiving we were married, I worked 3-11. The floor decided to have a thanksgiving potluck. We invited my husband because he was all by himself at home. Well, as nurses do when they get together they started talking about a patient. It seems this short chubby man on thwe floor had bypass surgery and got very confused afterwards. Since his belly was very round, he couldn't see ANYTHING that was below it. In his confused state he accused one of the nurses of stealing his member. As another nurse is telling this story I see all of the color draining out off my husband's face. All my husband said when I got home was, "you guys sure have interesting dinner conversations." After almost 13 years ofknowing me he KNOWS not to ask too many questions.:rotfl:

I spent 9 years working with open heart patients. I saw EVERY pt. during the first hour of the shift. I did a cardiac and wound assessment on EVERY pt. What if their lungs filled up after a meal? Would you have anything to compare it to if you didn't assess them? I never understood these nurses who would say at 1000. "Oh I haven't seen them yet"". I've had too many people go bad in too quick of a time to risk NOT assessing everyone at the beginning of the shift.:angryfire

:) Many of the hospitals in north Texas are offering hiring bonuses and there are 3 hospitals in the area that are either being built from the ground up or are adding significant wings. (one is opening an 8 floor tower next year) I don't know how they plan to staff them all but if anyone wants to work in the north part (newest )of the Dallas Ft Worth area there are definitely jobs here.
