  7. Are all floor nurses rude to ER nurses?

    With all due respect l.rae, that is not an option that I have either. My admits come when they come, just like yours. The only time L&D has ever held a pt. for us is when the room is still...

  13. Vomit and other icky stuff

    In terms of adult patients, I can honestly say I've never been puked on. I think in OB we know when the nausea will occur, and we're ready for it. But the babies... that's another story. Those...
  14. Pick Up Lines!!

    Have you all heard of the rejection line? It's a fake number that you can give out to guys that you don't like. When they call, they get a prerecorded message about what a loser they are! I bet some...
  15. Two Nurses dead in North Texas

    I'm with ya Bob. Unfortunately, in this day and age, people feel more comfortable hiding behind guns, heavy metal music, violent movies, etc, instead of addressing mental health issues. Fact is, if...

  22. Nurses week Cheap gifts from admin.

    Open minded to what? Being s**t on daily by management? I don't think so. Yes, I have a crappy manager, but I've had good ones too, so I know the difference. I also know the whole world isn't a bad...
  23. Nurses week Cheap gifts from admin.

    Gee golly... I never thought of that. My coworkers and I have wonderful morale. Hell, I just worked an awesome weekend. My coworkers and I had a great time, we really bonded with our Mother's Day...

    Today was my first day at work this week. There was a penlight in my mailbox that was passed out yesterday. I broke it trying to turn it on. Then we were all given passes for a free sundae, actually...
