    IrishErin replied to jberrn's topic in General Students

    Too much snow! Getting to work late again.

    IrishErin replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    I've been late to work before due to an ice storm, but definitely still made it! I think being in Canada we quickly get accustomed to winter driving after the second or third snowfall of the season....

    How do you respond to rude patients?

    IrishErin replied to MILOBRI's topic in Emergency

    I have done this too many times to count on our stools. Especially when we had this really comfy ergonomic stool that you kneel on-super comfy to sit on, not so practical when needing to stand up...

    IrishErin replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oy. My head hurts. At my workplace we have a student shadowing one of our staff nurses. In my opinion, you couldn't ask to have a better nurse to shadow as this gal is one of the brightest and most...

    IrishErin replied to happynurse49's topic in General Students

    What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?
