  1. Help: a home care patient....

    AnonRNC replied to micstn's topic in General Nursing

    I own guns. I also get irritated from time to time. Heck, I even get so mad that I shout, swear and slam doors (I'm very big on door-slamming). But the guns don't come out then. The guns come out for...

  2. "Sir or Ma'am" when addressing physicians?

    AnonRNC replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

  5. The latest nursing scrubs...

    AnonRNC replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I mostly wear solids. I also wear a lot of blue because - in the legal world - people "trust" people wearing blue. I am trust-worthy, regardless of color, but I figure every little bit helps...

  9. What was the lowest diastolic bp you have seen?

    AnonRNC replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

  10. Easy job??

    AnonRNC replied to TiddlDwink's topic in General Nursing

    You know...in the mid-1990s (at least in this region), hospital nursing jobs were out of reach to new grads. A residency was something physicians did if they wanted to specialize. At that time, it was...

  12. Hep B Vaccine in the Newborn

    AnonRNC replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. Hep B Vaccine in the Newborn

    AnonRNC replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally, I think it's weird and my kids didn't start the Hep B series until they were older babies. BUT I was well-aware of my own Hep B status (negative). Professionally, Hep B bites and if a mom...

  15. Realize I'm lucky, but still struggling with 12 hr day shift

    AnonRNC replied to MissIt's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the earlier caffeine - like around 1400. Also, when precepting, I've noticed what I call the 5 o'clock syndrome - everyone shuts down a bit around that time, even "seasoned" nurses. Come...

  16. Are jobs becoming more available

    AnonRNC replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

  17. Anyone else the QUIET nurse?

    AnonRNC replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One nurse I work worth comes to mind - she's very quiet...it took me about three years to figure out that she is a VERRRRRRY GOOOOOOD nurse. Quiet is fine, but make sure you speak up enough so your...

  18. RN roles that are NOT as physical

    AnonRNC replied to deneh's topic in General Nursing

    GrnTea is right that you won't have lifting in the NICU, but you will still be on your feet a lot. You will have to push around heavy, wheeled equipment and you may occasionally have to run like hell...

  19. Best way to get your foot in the door?

    AnonRNC replied to mell260's topic in General Nursing

    You should NOT take an assistant position. You will be paid beans but, depending upon your Nurse Practice Act, may be held accountable to your RN license. However, volunteering at the hospital is a...

    AnonRNC replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! A new baby is a wonderful thing. If you work 12s and only need daycare 3 days a week, it is likely that you will have to pay for a "full time spot" at daycare anyway, as your provider...

  21. More experience/less money VS. Less experience/more money

    AnonRNC replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Nursing

    AnonRNC replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    AnonRNC replied to Sarah96's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to be a nurse before I was 10 years old. And I've been a nurse for longer than 10 years. I still love it. Do I have the energy to tell you a story about why I love it? Well....no. But I do....

  25. Scope of Practice question

    AnonRNC replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing
