  1. Favourite Doctor Moments

    NO50FRANNY replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just thought of another one. Naughty OD, just unloaded in resus, decides to jump off the trolley and attack the nearest person who happened to be our very fit, South African male consultant...

  2. What do you hate seeing the MOST in the ER!?

    NO50FRANNY replied to CrashED's topic in Emergency

    One of my colleagues had an experience with this recently- pt. was triaged and being taken by wheelchair upstairs by support staff who let her go to the acute toilets (no emergency bells) on the way....

  3. I dont think ICU is for me:(

    NO50FRANNY replied to Bradydown's topic in MICU, SICU

    Come to the darkside!, and try working less

  4. Favourite Doctor Moments

    NO50FRANNY replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just wanted to tell you all about my favourite doctor in my 15 odd years of nursing. I can't tell him because he would truly be embarrassed and thinks nothing of the things he does- he is one of...

  5. Favourite Doctor Moments

    NO50FRANNY replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love docs that take care of their nurses- especially the really smart ones whom you can truly ask for advice and help. The person who prompted me to start this thread is a doctor who I consider to...

  6. Are there doctors on duty in the ER?

    NO50FRANNY replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    I was talking with everyone about this recently, morale is a bit low and we have had a run of badly mangled people and violent crime recently. It is extremely difficult to kill narcissistic rudeness...

  7. STEMI Protocols

    NO50FRANNY replied to Medic2RN's topic in Emergency

    Hi there, In our ED, the STEMI gets phoned through by ambulance crew who have specific criteria that the pt. must meet to announce a STEMI. Triage nurse hits emergency bell and advises resus team and...

  8. The Mockery of Nursing

    NO50FRANNY replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What is it with all you guys? I asked a few very simple questions about how to become an American and pass the NCLEX on page 55 and none of you has even bothered to respond to me. Where's the love,...

  9. Apologizing for my prima donna ICU coworkers.

    NO50FRANNY replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Emergency

    I love our ICU, but sadly find myself defending them a great deal also. A few of our ED nurses jump at the opportunity to complain about beds not being ready and other obstructions which really are...

  10. Wow, we weren't expecting that!

    NO50FRANNY posted a topic in General Nursing

    What's your most surprising clinical find? A few of my colleagues and I were chatting about epic triage fails the other day and decided that there should be a "Waiting room to ICU plaque" somewhere...

  11. Wow, we weren't expecting that!

    NO50FRANNY replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, we decided ages ago that for some reason, stupid people, no matter what they have done, don't die. it's actually protective dickhead gene (not sure if that counts as swearing) and wasn't sure...

  12. Wow, we weren't expecting that!

    NO50FRANNY replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in General Nursing

    Fortunately, idiots with guns are not something we deal with very often, gun laws in Australia are pretty full-on. We do have our fair share of Darwin awards however and your fellow would certainly...

  13. Wow, we weren't expecting that!

    NO50FRANNY replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in General Nursing

    I had to add a couple of my favourite triage moments because I seem to be the queen of the category 1 (immediately seen by senior doctor) walk in. 1) Triaging a chest pain with ambulance, in walks...

  14. The Mockery of Nursing

    NO50FRANNY replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Okay, so I just listened to the tears for fears version, it is good (but I like tears for fears and grew up in the 80's) so I am going with both good depending on mood- hard core trance version still...

  15. Wow, we weren't expecting that!

    NO50FRANNY replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in General Nursing

    Was the Glock VS testicles one shot VS two testicles or two shots taking care of it- and did he deserve

  16. The Mockery of Nursing

    NO50FRANNY replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "gary jules cover of this is waaayyy better than the original by tears for fears. had they been smart, they would have made it like gary jules did. it makes you shiver. (does me, anyway.)" "they...

  18. The Mockery of Nursing

    NO50FRANNY replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have something to add to the mockery. I just thought of it the other day. How's this. If you want to get ahead as a nurse, get promoted etc. you play the game, you join the project groups, follow...

  19. Your least favorite patient.

    NO50FRANNY replied to errn7's topic in Emergency

    I usually don't give out chances, you are way more patient than me- you swear at me, I have you

  20. How easy is it to lose your nursing license?

    NO50FRANNY replied to Ted D's topic in Nursing Career

    "let me tell all of you out there..........its a lot easier than you think. six years ago (during my 22nd year of nursing, and closing in on my 50th birthday) i "turned" a surgeon "in" for doing some...

  21. Let's compare ERs

    NO50FRANNY replied to trooperwifey's topic in Emergency

    Hey there MassED, I hope this gives you an idea, I'd love to hear about how international departments run so chime in with how your department works, always need ideas! We call it ramping when...

  22. Does a CNA have to wipe butts?

    NO50FRANNY replied to sssssaidthesnake's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Surely this is trolling? We could add it to the mockery of nursing thread. Not even going to dignify with a thoughtful

  23. Your least favorite patient.

    NO50FRANNY replied to errn7's topic in Emergency

    Least favourite patients: The two patients whom I charged with assault this year while trying to look after them (I am 5"3 and weigh 50kg), the older narcotic seeking paedophile whom I triaged to the...

  24. Do you struggle with differences in Trauma teams?

    NO50FRANNY replied to MassED's topic in Critical Care

    I avoid traumas during the day like the plague. If the bell goes off all these people appear from the back offices and it quickly becomes a too many chiefs, not enough indians scenario. At night,...

  25. Grossest thing that you've experienced?

    NO50FRANNY replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I have to say I am pretty much on board with the "sex via stoma" story being quite possibly the foulest thing I have ever heard, and yes you need to tell us the others! The worst ick I can...
