  1. Little funny thing pt said about Reglan

    pannie replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Walked into a CA pt's room. He was talking on the phone and telling his friend "Yes, they're going to go into my abdomen and remove some

  2. Sometimes it isnt good to be a health professional

    pannie replied to Noryn's topic in General Nursing

    Tazzi - ROFL!!!! I had the "scaping" done and had IV sedation. And was darn grateful for it, too! However, my mouth seemed to run away with me during the procedure. Seems like no matter how you...

    pannie replied to Noryn's topic in General Nursing

    If it's any consolation, you'll have

  4. Moving to Texas- New RN Grad DFW or Austin???

    pannie replied to luvnursing-2's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've also heard good things about Burleson's schools. But I'm directionally challenged around Ft. Worth. I just know Burleson is fairly

  5. Moving to Texas- New RN Grad DFW or Austin???

    pannie replied to luvnursing-2's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wish I could help with the Ft. Worth area, but I can't. I have heard good things about South Lake, though. I do know that whole area up to Texas Motor Speedway won't be small town for long. The...

  6. Moving to Texas- New RN Grad DFW or Austin???

    pannie replied to luvnursing-2's topic in Texas Nursing

    It was ironic that while I was posting the above, an e-mail arrived. I receive bulletins on breaking news from KXAN and this was "Mopac closed down. Traffic being diverted." I had to laugh but...

  7. Moving to Texas- New RN Grad DFW or Austin???

    pannie replied to luvnursing-2's topic in Texas Nursing

    I do beg to differ with you on the child rearing, Greg. But respectfully, of course. Some of the suburban areas of DFW are wonderful places to rear children. We own houses in "suburban" areas of...

  8. Moving to FT Lewis, WA area...

    pannie replied to Corvette Guy's topic in Washington Nursing

    Sorry, Corvetteguy, I was dealing with that MRSA thing from July till Jan. and you didn't really want to be around me. Bleh! I've been spending an hour a day in the gym and an hour in the pool....

  9. Moving to FT Lewis, WA area...

    pannie replied to Corvette Guy's topic in Washington Nursing

    Drive carefully and have a good trip. Thanks for serving our warriors! If you get to Brook for any training give me a heads up and I'll buy you

  10. Questions about traveling to alaska

    pannie replied to Rightalong's topic in Travel

    I'm glad Alaskalala answered that. I couldn't imagine getting around without using the ferry system. But then, we've stayed mostly along the coastline, except for Fairbanks. We love Alaska but are...

  11. Gender Relations

    pannie replied to nurse_shane's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't like to "butt in" either but was enjoying the thread. Please don't apologise! Just celebrate/shake your head/ at the differences. I

  12. Nursing in Salt Lake City as a non-LDS??

    pannie replied to ED_Lifer's topic in General Nursing

    If you're going to SLC, do yourself a favor and check out The Roof Restaurant. I've eaten in places much more expensive, but I haven't had a better experience. We were in a private room (glassed...

  13. Nursing in Salt Lake City as a non-LDS??

    pannie replied to ED_Lifer's topic in General Nursing

    TriageRN, you're so right about the people. It's now one of my favorite places to go - summer and winter. The people of SLC, particularly those helping visitors at Temple Square are lovely. I...

  14. Nursing in Salt Lake City as a non-LDS??

    pannie replied to ED_Lifer's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE SLC! We had a business trip there and I didn't want to go. Thought they'd be nothing to do in the evenings...the streets would roll up, etc. I love the Mormons and availed myself of their...

  15. Medicare For All H.R. 676

    pannie replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yep, it's someone else's fault, right? Poor planning; lack of personal responsibility; not budgeting = Bush and Cheney's fault. Typical "Poor me. I'm powerless." I see Clee1 is not letting...

  16. Medicare For All H.R. 676

    pannie replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Clee1: I'm afraid there aren't many people who have the financial discipline to do what you do regarding medical costs. We'd all be so much better off if they did. Most financially savvy planners...

  17. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    pannie replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    I'm very aware, you've told us many times. It doesn't change ANYTHING. Providers and recipents are both doing wrong if they're abusing the system. One is no more wrong than the other one. GET...

  18. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    pannie replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    I've waded through this thread and it seems pretty clear. Those who have/are receiving benefits (and those working in the bureaucracy of providing said benefits) are very in favor of medicaid....

  19. Looking for a job with my degree in some hospital in Dallas..any advice please

    pannie replied to Polska's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think you can do a lot more than that. Most area hospitals are focusing on the "satisfaction" level now. You should be looking into perhaps administrative assistant to a CEO of a large hospital -...

  20. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    pannie replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you so much for posting this. I've seen it now from the patient's side and if a patient asked me NOW, I would not be offended. 7 months ago, I probably would have. Funny how your point of...

  21. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    pannie replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'd take the flashing sign, etc. if it prevented the horrible scarring, the 6 months out of my life, etc. Yeah, before this episode, I'd have been laughing, too. Not now and not ever

  22. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    pannie replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Psych ward...a group came in and set up refreshments. A new nurse is in line to get some punch. A patient comes up behind and grabs her breast. She yells "Hold it!" Not the best choice of words in...

  23. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    pannie replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree that the buttons aren't a very good idea. I also know that signs get ignored after a day or two. I have no idea what the answer is. I'm one of the unfortunate patients who developed MRSA...

  24. Treating residents/patients like idiots

    pannie replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    What a great idea! I'm filing that away since I'd like to volunteer at a nursing

  25. When the Board of Nursing is out to get you....

    pannie replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in General Nursing

    I never thought I'd be saying this but: Get a lawyer! Your reputation is too important to dismiss these allegations as insignificant. Don't leave, yet. Your lawyer will go over options with you....
