    Hoozdo replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it seems prisoners have it better than nurses. No breaks, no time to poop, no lunch, no water :trout: I break the rule all the time and have bottled water with me at the nurses station. They...

    ICU: Nurses Wash Patients + Make Beds?

    Hoozdo replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, my coworkers are excellent at being team players. Sometimes we need to put the pts in precarious positions to help though. I have had several instances where a pump was alarming air in the line...

    Opinions about night shift and personal health

    Hoozdo replied to Soneshine's topic in General Nursing

    I happen to like night shift a lot - but I think it is physically more dangerous for your personal life: example - one of my coworkers almost hit a little girl getting off a school bus on the drive...

    ICU: Nurses Wash Patients + Make Beds?

    Hoozdo replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, we get to do those chores too. I am a highly paid janitor. Most of the time housekeeping doesn't mop the floors and so I throw a few wet towels down and drag them around with my

    any nurses out there with back injuries

    Hoozdo replied to rehab nurse's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I got her from the Humane Society when she was a puppy. She looked like a chow mix - the cutest little teddy bear of a dog. She grew up to have short hair and sort of a Corgie body style, LOL. Since I...

    any nurses out there with back injuries

    Hoozdo replied to rehab nurse's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Welcome to the back pain thread Donna! I suggest you file for SSD now. If they award it - then they just deduct what you get from LTD from your benefits. The sooner you get SSD the better because you...

    work while on narcotics?

    Hoozdo replied to deehaverrn's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I feel your pain......... Do whatever your doc says to do. Who really cares what others think - they are not the ones in pain. Just because you are a nurse doesn't mean you are immune to pain and...

    Advice needed re:career (sorry long)

    Hoozdo replied to RNforhire07's topic in MICU, SICU
