    What can I do to these scrub stains? Help Me!!!!

    BostonTerrierLover replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Oh I agree Meriwhen, I have passed the toothpaste/jewelry thing on all through school for tarnishing/dirty jewelry! My mom always did that while I was growing up. It makes it look like new! Again,...

    What disorders did you diagnose yourself with in Nursing School?

    BostonTerrierLover posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have to give credit to a great Allnurses.com member "Been There, Done That," for inspiring this thread. After reading that great thread, . . . It hit me! Lol, I thought back to Nursing School....

    "Sir or Ma'am" when addressing physicians?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, I'm southern, so it's always with me- younger too, just now seeing Docs younger than me. I also return the same respect to my Nurse Elders until they either "ok" not saying it (or threaten bodily...

    P.S. I emailed a link of this to my bacholer (non-nursing friends), and one has already called me to tell how great the Dawn works on "Tar Stains" from the beach. Must be

    Would this be appropriate for an interview?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wouldn't it be really cool if you got three life lines, and could "pass!" I could say, "Hold that one, I would like to phone a friend!" Regis, "We have Gitano on the line, read your question, . . .you...

    2nd thank -you note after 2nd interview? Yay or Nay?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to RxOnly's topic in General Nursing

    Although I agree with previous post logic, I wouldn't this time. They obviously called you to the second interview because you were in the "final" pool. That said, I am not saying you shouldn't, I...

    Why I became a nurse

    BostonTerrierLover replied to MattNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Growing up in a small town, and knowing what some of the residents were like when they were still functional and independent- It amazes me how mean, hateful, and spiteful guys are now kind, gentle,...

    Why I became a nurse

    Just glad she didn't think I was the son who was always asking for money, and stealing her "coin change?". She told me all about "that

    Thanks Guys! Thank God for Helpful Nurses, and Seven Elevens. My previous posts are gone, so if I duplicate- I'm sorry, having "off" day. I am going to keep Hairspray in my bag now! That's great...

    Ok, got keys, heading out to store, I have put toothpaste on it, got to pick-up some hairspray and bleach- I can't believe we don't have any. I never have much to work with on these travel...

    Why I became a nurse

    BostonTerrierLover replied to MattNurse's topic in General Nursing

    One of my absolute favorite moments of nursing came when I had a "sun downer" on an Acute Care Floor. She was a walky/talky patient- and really quite young for a dementia patient, but she had been...

    BostonTerrierLover replied to Despareux's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You do not want "fashion advice" from Boston!!! (who thinks a polo shirt w/slacks is dressing up). But I still wanted to drop by and say "Great Luck!" and Blow Them Away! (Probably toooo late posting,...

    Burned out from floor nursing, need advice, please..

    BostonTerrierLover replied to frazzled2012's topic in General Nursing

    I have got to say, the agency/travel nursing is a great idea! You are much more in control of the hours. You CAN do it locally. If an assignment sucks, it's extremely temporary. The money is...

    A landmark decision in my workplace

    BostonTerrierLover replied to BlueDevil,DNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thats why my hospital will never have a "landmark decision," and I would be extremely worried about a Lay-Off if they did. I am very excited for you though, and congrats on the Raise! If they did...

    This happens all the time, and Tuesday's not such a bad day to schedule around. They should respect your schooling- however you are at their mercy (if you put you work anytime on your application...

    BostonTerrierLover replied to brainkandy87's topic in Emergency

    Well you just proved you are human. I really hate this happened. I can tell from your other posts that you are conscientious in your decision making, and this will be a huge stepping stone for you....

    Nurses working overtime

    BostonTerrierLover replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    When I grow up, I am going to try to find that balance. (But, for now, most hours are quiet in the ER- especially around spring and summer.) So, load me up! I understand the Work vs. Happiness...

    Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I was younger, I was in 4H. I had to raise a small pig. I done the least amount of work on that pig I had to. Oh yeah, it got fed good, and it had a nice pen in the barn. When the County Fair...

    Stupid things doctors do?!

    BostonTerrierLover replied to healthstar's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have got to agree with above posters. I don't feel it's Doctors vs. Nurses as much as it is Doctors and Nurses vs. a very stressful and demanding career, as well as dealing with several of the...
