  1. help me buck the system, please! super-traditional pinning ceremony that nobody wants

    Mystery5 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    I think Rachel sounds pretty level headed actually. After all, she's endured 2 years of wearing those totally ridiculous caps! I appauded her for that!!! These gals look pretty happy,

  2. What is the worst mistake anyone has made?

    Mystery5 replied to RN50's topic in General Nursing

    Well, in my mind this was my worst mistake: I had a pt in room and another nurse had the other pt. Where I work we get report on all the pts on the floor. The other pt was endstage COPD, no code, not...

    Jesse Helmes!!! LOL, well lets not get carried away with ourselves!!! LOL. Yes, he's 'opinionated'

    Mystery5 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this discussion is kind of interesting. It brings back memories of nursing school. I think my school had a good policy, having people

    Mystery5 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    You know what, in yesteryear patients had a lot more respect for nurses, actually. Nurses set the rules for the ward and they were obeyed. They enforced visiting hours, and you wouldn't have 20 family...

    Mystery5 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Rachel, Well, I think you started a very interesting discussion about this, certainly no flame war. Believe me, I've seen flame wars before, and this ain't one, even if some folks have some...

    Mystery5 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Action,Did I ever claim to be a final authority? I don't believe I did. I merely found American's post every bit as acceptable as your own. In her opinion, it is unseemly to make a big deal of...

    Mystery5 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    Dear All American, Your post was fine. I think it's good to preserve traditions myself. If you go to Europe you'll find that they aren't as eagar as Americans to always change traditions. In UK the...

    Dear Action,Since your birthday is August 1st, the same as mine, I will feel free to speak plainly to you, since we are almost twins.:) I read both of these posts and frankly, sister, your's is no...

    Mystery5 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I personally wouldn't have a problem with it being in a church because I don't like to sweat the small stuff. But some folks might have a big problem, so why not have it in a more neutral...

    Mystery5 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, that school could be setting themselves up for a big lawsuit by their local ACLU, which they would most likely lose. What century are they living in anyways? And I'm no fan of the ACLU, but...

  12. Culturally diverse nursing

    Mystery5 replied to Kiwi's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it is a good paying job. It's interesting. They will meet a lot of different patients, people they would normally not encounter in everyday life. They can help people. It's a good job for moms...

    Mystery5 replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of students wearing those caps to clinicals. How 'quaint' :angryfire We had these ugly yellow smocks which were bad enough. I can't imagine how ridiculous I would feel walking into a...

  14. Let's Have Some Fun!

    Mystery5 replied to HannasMom's topic in General Nursing

    How about so I could for sure get a

  15. Nursing care plans.. who uses them??

    Mystery5 replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

    Another timewasting, useless task that we must do on admit to satisfy the stupid State and JAACHO auditors! Their philosophy is the more pointless charting, the better, all based on the doctrinal...

  16. Explanation of an Acuity System

    Mystery5 replied to bamanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Acuities are a ridiculous waste of time, that's what they are. My hospital thankfully got rid of them and now staffs using common sense and nursing

  17. Is is weird to ask for more duties at work?

    Mystery5 replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. I think you can learn a whole lot from doing the unit secretary work, such as entering labs, preps for labs needed, general hospital operational procedures, etc. In fact, I wish I were...

  18. Badly needing to vent right now.

    Mystery5 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    That is a totally unsafe pt load. I don't know how you can do that. That's

  19. IV Pump frustration!

    Mystery5 replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry about pumps, they are really not complicated. You'll be working with them so often that you'll be a whiz in no time. The ones we have will beep if there is an occlusion. It'll say distal...

  20. Should I stay on Med/Surg?

    Mystery5 replied to Mommy/Grandma's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but I'm afraid you've been the one that have been 'fed a line'. Planned Parenthood does abortion referals, always fight any type of education of women as to fetal developement, promotes teen...

  21. Intradermal lidocaine for IV starts

    Mystery5 replied to hardworkingrn's topic in General Nursing

    We are allowed to use it, but I never do since it seems to make the vein

  22. Should I stay on Med/Surg?

    Mystery5 replied to Mommy/Grandma's topic in General Nursing

    I would never advise anyone to work for Planned Parenthood, since they promote abortions. I'm very against that

  23. social anxiety

    Mystery5 replied to brandy119's topic in General Nursing

    I suffer social anxiety and always have. My first clinical I remember standing outside of the patient's room for about 10 minutes, afraid to go in. Clinicals were always stressful for me, but for...

  24. Working with a racist

    Mystery5 replied to xmaxiex's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What race does this nurse make comments about? I can't believe that this is acceptable to publically air these days, although I had a nurses aide tell me that Catholics in some countries worship...

  25. CNAS behind Nurses Station more than nurse

    Mystery5 replied to vanurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    In LTC I found that the CNA's pretty much run the show. You just have some real hardened characters who do this type of work. It's usually the ones who are older and have been doing it for years. I've...
