idialyze BSN, RN

You don't seem to realize you have thrown away the best job you will ever have. So sad.

You can't be serious, although I'm afraid you are, after reading some of your posts. I remember being a brand new 21yr old RN, and seeing my charge nurse do that during a very bad code on Stepdown. I lost every bit of respect I had for her. i still r...

Can't wait to read it Esme! So very glad you've made it thru! I certainly don't find myself pretentious, but I feel a lot like you, I think. Nursing is my life and my identity, don't know what I would do with myself if I wasn't a nurse 😍😍

71 miles round trip four days a week, good thing I love my job!

LOL! So true!

Ermmm not what I expectedí ½í¸©

I'd love to see that!

I read this at work some time ago, I was laughing so hard I thought I would pass out from trying to keep quiet. I then shared it with the "Kool Kids" ( my 2 BFFs) at work and we all were hysterical ! I've never laughed so hard in my life😅😅

Not a very smart statement little girl! You WILL NOT make it through school with that attitude!

Although I never had kids, I'm all for new Moms being allowed time to pump. When I was travelling, I started a new assignment in Texas. I was on my am break when another RN joined me in the break room, we introduced ourselves. She then proceded to pu...

Probably not so long ago. I worked with a nurse about 10 yrs ago who's patient requested his chest tube be disconnected so he could go smoke, she told him no, of course. Said patient was brought back to unit with Security, carrying said chest tube! H...

I worked in the hospital as a tech while in nursing school and ending up working the same Telemetry unit for a total of 11 years, left in 1992( yeah I'm a Real Old Crusty Bat!) Worked for a crazy doctor for a year, got divorced and moved to a large ...

My first husband was a brand new LEO when I married him at the extremely mature age of 19! When I divorced him 10 years later he was an RN that I put through school. He wanted me to send him to Law School at that time, and I kicked him out! He never ...

Jeez Dude, who urinated in your breakfast cereal this morning?

I did this exact thing many years ago, I was tired of bedside nursing after 11 yrs on the same unit. A physician I thought I knew very well offered me a job that sounded too good to be true. As it turned out it was so bad I had to move away from the...

(((((((((Hugs to you)))))))))I'm sorry you had to do this even though you know it had to happen. Take care of you now

A large male nurse I worked with some years back was being very rough with a little old lady right in front of me and another RN. I told him to stop and he did. We both reported him in about 10 minutes and 10 minutes later he didn't have a job. I que...

I am so sorry you have been put through all this, be gentle with yourself, and take care of you((((HUGS))))

And just to be on the safe side, I never walk within arm's length of a storm drain!!

Nope! Now a real clown would set me back a bit, but I'd probably tell him to #$@$$%!

I read "The Shining" years ago, it was, hands down, the scariest book I have ever read! I could not read it at night if I was alone. Dr Sleep was equally as good, but not as frightening. (of course I'm MUCH older now, and not scared of anything anymo...

LOL, good to see you haven't lost your sense of humor!!

Could never work with kids, but I've done dialysis for22 years. I love my job!

Working in the ER many years ago, a patient came in complaining of severe rectal pain. We called in a GI doc, he setup in the ER room to do a scope. When he put the scope in, all we could see was " Spread a Little Sunshine: He had inserted a mustard ...

I would be Terrified to cross Judge Judy!!
