    The Mockery of Nursing

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

    How can you "sort of revile" something? I was going to say, "this is off topic," but what was the topic again? I

    I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    SHGR replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Bank managers don't have to reach up to hang IV bags, bend down to empty foleys, possibly do CPR, or get barfed on. So, they can wear a pants suit and pumps. Prints hide betadine splatter

    outdoor nursing jobs?

    SHGR replied to erinreed34's topic in General Nursing

    Camp nursing, definitely! I spent a few summers as an RN at a camp for people (all ages) with developmental disabilities. Easter Seals would be a place to start looking. YMCA's have summer camps...

    Some days I just wanna bang my head against a wall

    SHGR replied to Nascar nurse's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Right! How come coding isn't an opt-in, rather than opt-out? When you remove a mole, or an ingrown toenail, or whatever, you have to sign a form indicating you have been warned of the possible...

    Love grad school? Hate it?

    SHGR posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Mostly, I love graduate school. This is my second semester. LOVE: I am learning SO much. It's giving me new frameworks for nursing practice, new understanding of pathophysiology, networking with...

    SHGR replied to TiddlDwink's topic in General Nursing

    Ashley, you are so nice. Good advices and all but... sounds like spam to me...just a PM should be fine. No need to even THINK about giving out email addy's. I think I should do more home visits....

    Weirdest, funniest, grossest male teenager pt. Stories

    SHGR replied to Mtb97's topic in Nursing Humor

    Awww, man, I thought this was going to be a funny thread. So disappointed. As the proud possessor of a very, very adolescent-male-style sense of humor in which farts are hilarious, I am so, so, very...

    What Have I Gotten Myself Into?

    SHGR replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    Purple_scrubs, you are so positive. This is awesome. We have a family who comes to the clinic...mom is more concerned with her own social life than taking care of her diabetic young teen daughter....

    SHGR replied to nursecat64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Criticizing your assessment skills is rude. Since you are an experienced nurse, and especially since you have worked in home health, I would have hoped she could see that maybe she could learn a few...

    Easy job??

    SHGR replied to TiddlDwink's topic in General Nursing

    Home health...you're on the patient's turf, not your own (as you are in hospital or other health care setting), and yes you do have other patients. You just have to drive across town to tend to them,...

    How does your unit handle this assignment situation ?

    SHGR replied to melanie1126's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes we had a nurse that would float to different units and just do admissions. The orders, the admit paperwork, etc. because that really is a one-on-one until the person is settled in. Then...

    SAD mindset of "future nurses" *sigh*

    SHGR replied to sj73201's topic in General Nursing

    I am sad to say that many of my co-workers are former "nursing students" who couldn't make it past the pre-reqs, or current pre-nursing students who are failing or getting C's in their pre-reqs. When...

    Need help with priority diagnoses

    SHGR replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Impaired physical mobility? That is the first thing I saw there. The skin integrity, pain, depression, and difficulty with ADL's all relate to that. And yes, that is a very ignorant attitude about...

    Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    SHGR replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    SHGR replied to aboucherrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't expect a thank you from patients. A few times I have had heartfelt thanks. A guy called me to say, "I took your advice, I did what you said, now my blood sugars are great and I feel great."...
