    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    What’s the farthest you would be willing to commute?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to MountaineerFan57's topic in General Nursing

    My longest was 80 minutes, and it sapped the life right out of me doing 3 12hours in a row. Currently I drive 50 mins one way on a good day. I just took what will amount to a $3.00/hr pay cut to...

    OK, what are you supposed to be doing instead of being in here?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to JBudd's topic in General Nursing

    You do know that by being prepared you practically ensure you won't need that bag-but if you don't have it snowpocalypse will come in out of nowhere ? Seriously, hope you won't need

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to lauriepanther's topic in General Nursing

    A wise mentor once told me two things. Number one, never say anything you don't want to repeat in court and number two, if it felt good saying it, it was probably a bad

    Out of My Element Again

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Perspective is everything, and I keep seeing the OP frame things in a negative manner. How about instead of finding the fault in your new assignments, you look for a silver lining-any spark of...

    House frau chores which I despise but since to date I've not won the lottery I am forced to do or be run over by housecat sized dust "bunnies" that roll around like

    IV Practice

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Anna Eckardt's topic in General Nursing

    (this is the way my mind works) Awfully hard to explain to the docs in the ED how they got phlebitis and yet are not IV drug

    Leaving Bedside Nursing. Interview help

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Beave11's topic in General Nursing

    First off, Google "nursing interview questions" and practice. Literally stand in front of a mirror, and answer them aloud. This really helps with the "word searching" we all do under pressure. As...

    24 hours after shot#2, arm is sore but that's it. Slept badly, but I've got some family things and maybe job changes going on so that's not surprising. I have UC, and am on

    Sleeping In Vehicle Between Shifts

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to NGRN89's topic in General Nursing

    Having lived out of a car in my younger years (long story) I can tell you its not the best thing for getting quality sleep. I'd do as other suggested and look for a coworker who might have a spare...

    Second Guessing Myself. Did I handle this situation correctly?

    When Your Patient Wants To Talk Politics

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to KC,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to lean in close (before Covid LOL) and say in a low voice "we aren't allowed to talk about this" and give them a wink and loudly change the subject. They thought I was agreeing with them and...

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting, I've not heard that. I'm too late for a boomer but too soon for Gen X though I "identify" as Gen X. I'm an optimist who is super cynical due to life's lessons

    Do nurses with suspended licenses or on probation due to drugs seem to end up working in dialysis clinics?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to CoThG's topic in General Nursing

    Actually you did smear lots of people in your first post, and now are trying to walk that back by posting smoke such as a 10 year old necropost. If you are going to post inflammatory and...

    Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to CoThG's topic in General Nursing

    No, actually you made a huge broad brush snide swipe at nurses who work at dialysis clinics because a nurse you took a dislike to works in one. How about resolution for 2021? You do you, and not...

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Mind you, today's definition of "stoic" bears little resemblance to that classic school of thought. Currently I am reading "How to think like a Roman Emperor"...

    Nurses make me sick

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I'm actually reading books about stoicism, a very interesting philosophy that's been practiced for ages. The statement I bolded is probably the smartest thing I've read in this thread to
