Mac users rejoice! (PC users can do this too!) I went into System Preferences, and Word preferences, and Pages preferences, and in autocorrected typed in the hex codes for "with" "without" and "after" also the Rx glyph and the Micro glyph, which I ju...

Any ideas for the Mac user? I've been searching the internet and the only thing I have found is to use Microsoft Word and then insert the "overbar" symbols using the Equation Editor, which takes way to long. Any thoughts for us Mac users?

While my Granny was on the hospital I noticed that all if her nurses take nearly fifteen minutes to respond to any call. While sitting with her through the night she began violently vomiting. I pressed the call button, asked for her nurse and it was ...

Oh I have to hear this one... Did pt. give a reason for not washing?!?!

I am making no more replies to this thread; if I wanted to be bashed I would take up kick boxing. I have called the hospital and talked to someone. They have had "several speed related complaints" about said nurse before, (her words not mine) and as...

When a person is wrong: they should admit it. I admit it was wrong to pass judgment on this nurse, that is only for God to do. But she was slow, and in my mind, slow response to a potentially serious situation is a safety issue. PLEASE, correct me i...

She stopped vomiting, what else was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to track down the nurse and say "oh by the way she stopped, thanks for not showing up" If she was in serious danger, I would have screamed, banged on the glass or thrown a chair thr...

Thankfully the vomiting stopped about 2 minutes after I made the call. When the nurse finally did show up my Granny couldn't help but laugh when she asked if the vomiting had stopped. "Alotta good it does now doesn't it?" I would have gone to the nu...

We were on a Cardiology CCU, (not a stepdown unit) thats why when she started vomiting I was ****** no one showed up, and the CNA (who was on FaceBook, sitting all but fifteen feet away from Granny's open door) didn't do anything either. (Didn't even...

Her blood pressure was something absolutely ridiculously high (unfortunately I was exhausted at the time and I don't remember the exact numbers) and she takes both the meds at home on a regular basis. She was due to take them at 10:00 just like at ho...

Thank you for responding so politely, trust me, its appreciated!

I'm sorry if I crossed any lines or upset anyone. I was worried, annoyed, scared for the life of my Granny, and thought I would get some advice from a place I know I could get some real-life answers instead of just the textbook answers. Since I have...

Unfortunately not, I'm going to school to be a MA. And I know to "some" nurses I'm the lowest form of medical staff there is; but hey, gimme some credit, at least I've got my foot in the door to be a nurse.

I've had this problem, but not in nursing. I was a lead cashier and my store manger would walk up to the front of the store (His office with camera's was in the back of the store) and tell me I need to call for backup, and then walk away. Instead of ...

Great news. A friend gave me the tuition to go to the Medical Assistant class. :) I start Sept. 14th! I'm so excited!

So in January I'll be a Certified Medical Assistant. But I'm looking for more. I'm tired of being chewed out because I'm not a "nurse." (FEEL FREE TO SKIP THIS RANTING PART) :oornt: Where as my sister is in school to be a certified nurses assistant...

Thank you for your input! I unfortunately couldn't make it into the school I wanted to go to (no funding) and will have to go for my LVN lic. at the community college instead since the Fed Gov't will pay for everything except the TB test, the parkin...

That right there is what makes me sick. Barf=yuck. I haven't started nursing school yet, but I am going in full knowing that blood and barf are my two weaknesses. Let me rephrase that, needles and barf are my two weaknesses. I'm fine with blood, th...

Let me guess, he worked in oncology or hospice?

Let me guess, he worked in cardiology? The "love" doctor?

If I heard Dr. Doctor over the intercom I would start singing "Doctor doctor, gimme the news! I got bad case, o' lovin' you!"as I danced down the hallway and into the breakroom like an 80's video montage...

Thank you for this! I'm tall (6' barefoot) and super-skinny! (28"waist) I have ridiculously long legs (36' inseam) and can never find anything that makes me does look like I'm wearing a tent!

People who are stupid enough to steal probably can't read to begin with , so your name engraving won't detour them, but it will give you a MUCH greater chance at getting it back if the thief is (again) stupid enough to use it in class the next day. ...

I laughed when I read this, then remember my friend good friend who works at a casino. When the gamblers treat her really really badly (and I mean she puts up with a lot of bs before she gets upset) she puts generic eye drops in they're drinks to giv...

Best funny actually never came from a patient of mine, it came from my father and his nurse after his appendectomy-gone-wrong. (long story short: partial appendix rupture and massive adhesions) After my father had surgery his testicles swelled to the...
