  1. The Mockery of Nursing

    mrr5745 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The good news is when you have call 911 for a resident you get to check out the EMTs!!! Not sure if it's the uniform or if there is just a disproportionately large number of hot men who are EMTs in my...

  2. This is getting ridiculous!!

    mrr5745 replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Also saw IV Decadron on the list, and now Mannitol? Crap! What happens when the family member of the big pharm guy gets in a MVA and needs Mannitol? I have a funny feeling it would suddenly become...

  3. Nursing Management of Huntington's patient

    mrr5745 replied to Mimiloc's topic in General Students

    Two things to consider here. 1) Huntington's is genetic, so unless the pt was not raised by his or her parents, chances are the pt grew up knowing he or she had a 50% chance of inheriting the...

  4. Abbreviation help, please??

    mrr5745 replied to trauma_lama's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Is the date listed in the past or future? If it's a future date, I think due to replace is probably what they mean. If it's a past date it either 1) must stand for something different or 2) the floor...

  7. The Mockery of Nursing

    mrr5745 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dead cat bounce? Never heard that one before and I'm a hospice nurse! Love it! Oops, I guess I should say "Geez, wooh, you're so mean!"

  8. The Mockery of Nursing

    mrr5745 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is it just me or does the title of this thread read "Mockery of NURSING"? It seems as though some may have misread this. I think I may have to head on over to the nursing student/pre-nursing student...

  9. Just had to share...

    mrr5745 replied to 6spdftwtm's topic in General Nursing

    This is what makes dealing with the not so nice pts all worth it! Thanks for

  10. This is getting ridiculous!!

    mrr5745 replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Valium, Ativan, Adderal, and tetracycline. This is unbelievable. The shortage of scop patches a while back truly affected my hospice pt's comfort during their final days. Is this ever going to be...

    Oh Guttercat, you're so mean! Sorry, I'm just ready for a drink!

  15. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    mrr5745 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Have you ever heard the story about the little boy who cried

  16. The Mockery of Nursing

    mrr5745 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would barf if I ever had to wipe someone's butt, but the CNAs always take care of that, right? I'm not worried since RN's never have to do

  17. Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    mrr5745 replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL! I've met some nurses who astound me because they were actually able to figure out how to get out of bed in the morning. Grades and test scores are only a small measure of one's intelligence, but...

  18. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    mrr5745 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    What if someone who failed the computer test was given the chance to take a pen a paper test? I took my CNA test on pen and paper (yes, much, much different and easier than the NCLEX) and my NCLEX on...

  19. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    mrr5745 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah? Well, my dad is tougher than your dad! Seriously, grow up or leave the board. I'm 30 and yet your overt hatred for older nurses is making me

  21. Nursing bag for hospice RN?

    mrr5745 replied to crossingfingers10's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I just got this bag a couple of weeks ago because I was sick of using the awful one provided by my company. So far, I LOVE it! I can't get over how light it is and I love the "stay open" feature. It's...

  22. OPINIONS? PLEASE

    mrr5745 replied to promote.health's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a night owl by nature and loved working nights. The problem is the rest of the world operates on a day shift schedule. I found after a while I was missing out on time with family and friends even...

  23. Will I be facing discrimination?

    mrr5745 replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Men in Nursing

    I still get pt's who don't want me to care for them because I'm too young. I don't take it personally, and often chuckle to myself because little do they know, the older nurse who takes over actually...

  25. Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    mrr5745 replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I understand your question. I had/have zero interest in pediatrics and when I was in school I tried to wiggle my way out of peds clinicals. Well, of course, that didn't work. I went and put on a happy...
