    markjrn replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It's pretty sad that this exchange occurred between two adults. I don't generally hear any of these terms unless it's coming from my teenage nieces or nephews. Mystery, you did give me...

    Thanks for responding! I haven't been to Hutch for years! I spent a little time in the Hays and Colby areas (there's not a whole lot out there), so used to travel around and see different parts of...

    I'll have to pass along this info. She just mentioned that they were really looking for nurses. We'll have to look into this a little more. I like cardiac, and I'm definitely looking for something...

    Geez, I hope your situation improves then too. My friend was mentioning the Galatia Group (spelling?) in Wichita. She heard it was a decent

    markjrn replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I lived and worked in KS back in 1996-97. Those were peaceful days for us, and we consider going back. We have a good friend that lives not too far from...

    It's everyday! lol Nursing practice in my neck of the woods is...interesting. That's why I'll be moving on. Usually I just try to leave this stuff at work. Thanks for the good

  13. US Nursing Experience

    markjrn replied to par72's topic in International Nursing

    I'm not sure if you are addressing this to me or someone else, Suzanne, but I am actually fairly knowledgeable re nursing in the US and immigration, etc. I'm in no hurry to go back to the US, so...

    markjrn replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I personally would have said "member". It just really bothers me that she didn't address his problem, and that she was more concerned about her personal preferences than her patient. I guess...

    markjrn replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    The first question I asked myself was "was the issue actually addressed?", which it wasn't. I guess I just feel it's inappropriate that this nurse's main concern was teaching him new slang. There is...

  18. I am going to have a serious meltdown

    markjrn replied to Danianne's topic in General Nursing

    Since (I'm guessing) you're not paying for this, I would call the patient rep for the hospital, call the BON (it sounds like her practice is questionable), call The Minister of Health, and if you...

    markjrn replied to par72's topic in International Nursing

    Hi, I'm not Suzanne :) but I thought I'd let you know that I spoke with CGFNS today, and was told that the renovation only took a day or two, and that they gave me the same time frame that I was...

  20. I quit smoking and need advice

    markjrn replied to Medic2RN's topic in General Nursing

    We both quit cold turkey - no notice, no preparation. We used the patches for a week, and didn't bother buying more. No gum, no inhalers, etc. I think distraction helps. Get involved doing...

  21. Need ideas for gifts for ICU nurses ...

    markjrn replied to SC RN's topic in General Nursing

    I second that - nurses usually eat just about anything. :) And please acknowledge all shifts, nights included. They usually get left overs, and there's never anything left. It's nice that you want...

  23. Nurses Who Smoke

    markjrn replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Vodka isn't illegal, neither are cigarettes. When you are high or drink and drive, for example, it affects others. If you're sitting beside me hooting, it's going to affect me. You could always...
