  1. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    FutureNrse replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    That was funnier than the original story!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

  2. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    FutureNrse replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yup, this one got me. I'm sitting here, mouth hanging open, slightly ill. You win the

  3. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    FutureNrse replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm glad too....I just wish I'd read it before it

  4. help, suspect abuse

    FutureNrse replied to turquoise's topic in General Nursing

    I would say to absolutely report it. No question in my mind. I was once on the receiving end of this and even though there was no abuse, and it ended up somewhat humorous, overall I was just glad to...

  5. Home Births

    FutureNrse posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd like to hear some opinions on home birth. If the woman is healthy, has had great prenatal care, and has previously delivered healthy babies with no difficulties, would you say that this still is...

  6. migraine faker at the ED!

    FutureNrse replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    Don't laugh, my bad reactions to Benadryl landed me in the ER about 10 years ago. My heart races, I twitch, chest pains, it's awful. I was truly afraid that I was dying. I didn't know until reading...

  7. migraine faker at the ED!

    FutureNrse replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    I have mainly worked nights over the last 13 years and to be honest, the patient's so called "Pain Managment " PMD either never returns phone calls, is not on call, or cannot recall the patient....

  8. migraine faker at the ED!

    FutureNrse replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    I think you put that very well and I wish I'd had a nurse that thought that way any of the times that I went to the ER in desperation. Back then I didn't know that people go to the ER to get drugs for...

  9. migraine faker at the ED!

    FutureNrse replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    I don't agree with the overall attitude of your post. If what you are claiming is true then how do you explain my situation. I had an undiagnosed herniated disk, and other problems, for 4 years. My...

  10. migraine faker at the ED!

    FutureNrse replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    I agree with what you are saying, but still wouldn't you say that there are different types of sleep that may give you some indication of the degree of discomfort? If a person appears to be in a deep...

  11. Most dreaded Dr.'s orders

    FutureNrse replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that people take thing personally and get thier feeling hurt because I'm sure that no one here intends to hurt anyone else. This is humorous, a look at the lighter side of nursing. I...

  12. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    FutureNrse replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I have to say, welfare is not all it's cracked up to be. While it may be true that you could have gone right to the ED without any referral bull, there are plenty of other drawbacks, besides the fact...

  13. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    FutureNrse replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    For some reason, this reminded me of a funny story about my grandfather. One day, out of the blue, he told me that I should take my daughter to the ED. She was about 9 months old at the time, and...

  14. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    FutureNrse replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    You know, I just might be able to clear this one up for you all because when I worked in social services, I had a client tell me this. If you are pregnant and plan on applying for welfare, you have to...

  15. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    FutureNrse replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Those are hilarious! But what's extra funny is that I was reading fast and thought you wrote that the guy bit the

  16. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    FutureNrse replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    This morning my 3 year old son woke up and told me he had a ball in his mouth. I said...hmmm...okay, let's have breakfast. The whole time he's eating, he's complaining because he wants me to take the...

  17. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    FutureNrse replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I hadn't thought of that but you are absolutely right, the other kid was responsible for the injury so they should pay half. If it were me, I'd contact the other mom and let her know (very nicely of...

  18. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    FutureNrse replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I don't think you are the least bit stupid. You seem to be a caring, concerned parent. As you said, there was a lot of blood, and you didn't know how severe the injury was. The ED is equipped to...

  19. Funniest injury you have ever seen.....

    FutureNrse replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    Now, my face is like this... :rotfl: Isn't it wonderful when you have ammunition against a

  20. Drug Seeker Stories

    FutureNrse replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    Yes, I'm actually saying that some of us need to lighten up. I know, hard to believe. I can be pretty rabid on the subject of chronic pain, and proper management, but I can also laugh. This thread...

  21. Delivered a baby today!

    FutureNrse replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How exciting for

  22. Youngest labor patient?

    FutureNrse replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Many years ago while I was working an on-call shift with childrens services I was called out late at night to pick a baby up from the hospital and deliver it to a crisis nursery, where it was being...

  23. How necessary are episiotomies?

    FutureNrse replied to WhatToDo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My sister must have had you doctor, right down to the comment about doing it for her husband (which I found vulgar and insulting). She switched to a female OB for her second child, and related what...

  24. The nightmare...dealing with fetal demises

    FutureNrse replied to Mat-ctr-Rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry for what you suffered. Though I have not lost a child of my own, I was there when my step-sister lost her baby, who was to be my godson. I remember how great the nurses were, encouraging her...

  25. How do you all like the pain scale???

    FutureNrse replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    If I had a doc who thought that Vicodin is stronger than Percocet I'd ask him where he went to med
