  1. Stress Tests

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to CEN35's topic in General Nursing

    Cardiac aint exactly by bag of tea, but I have to agree with canoehead. The point is to push then to the limit. They should be prepared for that.

  2. Nurses week Cheap gifts from admin.

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle :roll :rotfl: This is not selling out? Am I supposed to use my break time (on the days I actually get it, that is) to recruit nurses? No, that's YOUR job. Why should I never call in?...

  3. Nurses week Cheap gifts from admin.

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's the point VictoriaG, we don't want crappy gifts (that's what they are). Just a little recognition. I'd give up all my coffee mugs and fanny packs for a pat on the back. Is there...

  4. Nurses week Cheap gifts from admin.

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    Good point Wendy. Nurses week gets turned, somehow or another, into hospital workers appreciation week. It never seems to be just for nurses anymore.

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to tmf1202's topic in General Nursing

    I am "core" past partum/nursery. The only units I'm required to float to are gyn/antepartum, NICU, and Peds. In NICU and Peds, we are not required to take an assignment, just do task oriented things...

  11. What is your net take home pay every two weeks?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to JMP's topic in General Nursing

  12. As an OB nurse, do you feel like your med/surg experience will go to waste?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

  13. As an OB nurse, do you feel like your med/surg experience will go to waste?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Shay said it well... these women are pregnant, but there is almost always something else thrown in. Not just healthy women get pregnant ya know AND THE NURSERY! Those little buggers are trouble!...

  14. Bubble gum myth or truth?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to proud2bme's topic in General Nursing

    You guys are a riot! Why do our parents do these things to us?? I was told the gum collects in your appendix, and it would burst after only a few pieces. Also told the raw dough story... but I don't...

  15. Divorce And Affairs????

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to rachaelm4's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it's the caretaker in all of us (nurses). Gotta go find ourselves someone we can fix, nurture, and take care of.

  16. Square roots

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Lisa1970's topic in General Students

    Well, 4 and 64 are fairly easy numbers to figure the square root of. But it could take you quite awhile to sit around multiplying numbers until you come up with the square root of 676. I believe...

  17. Nutrition courses in nursing school

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Squirrel's topic in General Students

  19. Divorce And Affairs????

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to rachaelm4's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle :chuckle :roll :chuckle :chuckle With all that third-person talking! They would end up shouting out their own names in bed!

  20. Divorce And Affairs????

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to rachaelm4's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to see I wasn't the only one taken by this use of words. Mario, a woman may be with a man that is sub-standard in your opinion (you used the word homely), but there is alot more to a person that...

  21. Separating work from home life

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to BrandyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    It's really hard not to bring any of it home with you, but I have found a few things that help. First of all, when I leave work, the cd player is blaring. In my car, I'm a rock star Really,...

  24. Incident report happy nurse

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I only like to fill them out if the doc is unyielding in his request that I do so, but even then I sometimes think it's silly. We do have a new, very incompetent nurse on our unit. We've...

  25. How long does it take to get lab results

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to kewlnurse's topic in General Nursing
