    Feed me, Seymour! When patients want forbidden food...

    BSNbeauty replied to TrevyRN's topic in Emergency

    The day after my patient had a heart cath, he was on the phone ordering Shrimp Yakami ( excuse the spelling). It is basically fried, greasy, chinese egg noodles that look like worms.

    A wetting epidemic!

    BSNbeauty replied to fetch's topic in School

    I once had a six grader come in to the elementary school ( to pick up a sibling) who wet their pants. I was very appalled. Ofcourse I didn't show this to the

    Breaking Free From Nursing

    BSNbeauty replied to HealthyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I admire the OP for leaving nursing. It is better to leave then to remain in nursing being miserable. Miserable nurses make patients and co-workers miserable

    Canceled up to 3-4 times a WEEK. What do?!

    BSNbeauty replied to murseBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to get cancelled alot too. This is why every nurse needs a PRN job on the side unless they work in a specialty that never cancels ( LTC, ER, and etc.

    Rn being trained by lpn?

    BSNbeauty replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What is the issue? The LPN have been doing this job for a while, you have NOT. You most likely have identical roles in the setting you described. This doesn't seem out the norm to

    BSNbeauty replied to CuddleFox's topic in General Nursing

    What does your resume look like? Do you have any experience so far as caring for humans such as babysitting, caring for a loved one, etc. How do you present yourself on interviews?? Do you smile? Are...

    one and a half months left

    BSNbeauty replied to MichelleRN34's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I got off orientation too. Our NM is new so I haven't heard anything yet? Should I follow up with her or just keep my mouth shut? I would like to know how I'm doing though... thoughts

    How does your unit make the nursing schedule?

    BSNbeauty replied to smb84's topic in General Nursing

    We do pencil scheduling. We divide up into 6 groups the people that have been working there the longest sign up first, those who have just been hired sign up last. This really sucks because by time...

    Calling In Sick: Dealing With Mental Illness At Work, Part 1

    BSNbeauty replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Great Article. Sometimes I go to work all day with a smile on my face but on the inside I'm sad, depressed, and just want to curl up in a ball. I've tried meds, counseling, and etc. and nothing seems...

    I am scared to do CPR

    BSNbeauty replied to Luna1326's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with wooh. My first time doing CPR was quite nervewrecking. A man over 300lbs had coded and I had to find a way to position myself to do CPR which was difficult. I did maybe 10-20 compressions...

    You won't believe.....

    BSNbeauty replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but I'm willing to bet my paycheck that she would have forced a smile and not have mumbled to say Hi. I disagree with how the student responded but I also think the OP need to take some...

    Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    BSNbeauty replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

    I hate driving, especially in the rain and snow. I have a 40minute commute and that is long enough for me. I love my job so it is worth

    You won't believe.....

    I wonder if the OP would have responded in such a way if a colleague or better yet the CEO of the hospital would have walked

    BSNbeauty replied to knufflebunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OP, I felt the same as you did except I worked in the ICU and ER. It was super stressful. Now I'm in PP and I love it. PP can be very busy at times. Sometimes I have 4-6 couplets. I have moms who are...

    Why do you work night shift?

    BSNbeauty replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I rotate and have a love/hate relationship with nights. I love nights due to being able to sleep in in the mornings, more laid back, no managers, case managers and SW. Less hectic. No visitors after...
