  1. Male nurses who cook

    I suppose you're wondering why I've asked you all here. Table saws, scratching, sports all aside, I am wondering if there is any interest in the fine culinary arts. Particularly those peculiar to the bachelor. I once lived on a case of Waverly Wafer...
  2. Verbal abuse in the OR

    I did check laws...recording in some states is considered to be a form of 'keeping notes'. And I agree, one must be careful. There are a variety of ways of being careful if you want to think about it.
  3. Drug seeking patients?

    Isn't immediate treatment for hyperglycemia or hypertension; or buying laxatives or decongestants "drug seeking"? Of course it is. If I go to my M.D. because I have an abcess and need antibiotics, I am seeking a drug, otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting...
  4. Verbal abuse in the OR

    Carry a digital microrecorder. They're cheap. Play hardball if that's what he wants. No one has to know you carry it, just transfer the day's events to tape, leave it anonymously in the O/R director's and the surgeon's box. Or the media, as someone s...
  5. RN's w/chronic pain, using narcotics

    srbear, why did you do that to yourself? i understand, believe me, i started the same thing once myself. after a couple of days i called my doc, explained, and he helped me start over, prescribing a different narc. i left the imprint of my fist in a...
  6. RN's w/chronic pain, using narcotics

    Do you want a doc performing surgery on you while in severe pain, needing to sit down,perhaps lie down for a few minutes to regain focus? I'd prefer to have my surgery done by a surgeon who is comfortable and not hastening the procedure to get it ove...
  7. New to Allnurses.com/Nursing ratios??

    Or to (witness the subtle) abuse...Wanna talk about being used? I'm a critical care animal by nature, but I've had plenty of excitement in my life, and so I go in for an interview due to the great 'Chance of a Lifetime' promises. The DON immediately...
  8. I made a med error

    illinois illinois is, by statute, a two-party state. however, case law from both the il supreme court and various illinois appellate courts have declared illinois a one-party state in the case of private citizens (businesses and plain folks - not law...
  9. Expectations of agency nurses

    This I love...After 3 weeks I get a call from the ADON (Background, a nursing home closed, so we got like 36 new patients in 3 days) and said something vague about not writing something in the right place, and of course, they needed to be concerned a...
  10. Roll Call

    Actually I carry a Buck 'assist open', and I'd grab one up fast before the 'good people' decide they're swithblades
  11. I made a med error

    you look for trends, not isolated occurances if you seek to improve a person's performance. second off, anyone who hasn't made a med or treatment error either has an angel on their shoulder, or more likely is a damned liar.
  12. Male nurses who cook

    I've been told the argument about surplus population and such, and while I don't argue that a person should not kill animals, It's just not for me. What infuriates me is people who simply go out for the kill, rather than for the comradere or sportsma...
  13. I made a med error

    They make the most marvelous little digital recorders these days that can be easily hidden on your person when you go in to see DONs and such. If you are recording a conversation and one party knows it is being recorded, it's legal. And you happen to...
  14. Male nurses who cook

    way back when, my dad was alive and he was my hunting partner. after he died, i hung up the gun, and never hunted again. eventually developed a taoist attitude toward taking life, although i'm not a vegan or anything. but i'll never forget what a gre...
  15. Roll Call

    1.) Not buying things because they're 'cute'. 2.) Not having an entire grocery store aisle devoted to one single part of our anatomy. 3.) The ability to discriminate a high heeled shoe and kitchen knife from a hammer and a slotted screwdriver.
  16. Roll Call

    This is a great link, and they even have the video of al Carroll and some other guy building it. http://www.michaelholigan.com/Departments/TVShow/seg_index.asp?ts%5Fid=5255&mscssid=BCSK1EM2S6D09J180HFW7DHW3PWW31F4 As soon as the yard sale's over,...
  17. Male nurses who cook

    'Deviled' ham (devil if I know why they call it that). The aroma of a deviled ham belch....
  18. I made a med error

    I quit carrying malpractice years ago. I don't keep cars until they're paid off, the house is in her name prior to marraige, minimal savings, and pay the bills from my account. Other accounts are seperate or nonexistant, and no law prevents me from g...
  19. Roll Call

    Trouble is, after a time, you nearly always need to make a shop. (...And don't call it a shed...) Otherwise you have a garage full of sawdust, not to mention having to run more dedicated circuits for safety. And then the bench becomes a convenient pl...
  20. Roll Call

    Hi Well the title implies the question. Are the lasers any better than a 2x4 guide and c-clamps? Seems that laser or not, one could err without a guide. I mean it's nothing more than a high tech chalk line, unless I'm wrong. I'm pretty happy with my ...
  21. Does your LTC provide you with work supplies?

    Well, that must be in a different area of Texas. I admit my first mistake was to be honest with potential employers as regards my injury. Second, the employer would not accomidate me for a short period to get back on my feet by reducing my daily shif...
  22. Does your LTC provide you with work supplies?

    Hi Background: 25 years of nursing experiece, most all specialty, critical , O/R, et.c. O.K...Blackballed in this area after sticking up for myself after being injured in the line of duty. Couldn't buy a job. Did agency, very unpredictable income to ...
  23. I made a med error

    yeah, and the pity is that the family isn't doing this on behalf of the allegedly 'injured' party who apparently suffered no injury. they just want some more in the coffers to pick over after the patient is deceased. then they'll end up fighting each...
  24. Male nurses who cook

    This may start some activity....Any good Spam recipies? The proud White Trash blood that flows through my veins, I was born with a can in my hand, and how it got there, don't ask me. I remember slices of Spam pan fried until slightly burned on the e...
  25. Roll Call

    What are we fizzling out or something? Wear your Animus proudly!!!
