2. Night shift RN's :Do you eat in the morning after your shift?

   bagface replied to DesertSky's topic in Stress 101

   It depends on my mood honestly. A lot of times I'll eat dinner foods before going to bed (my system says it's dinner time). Which can vary from a salad to soup to any sort of meat. If you're looking for more breakfast type foods I use the carnation ...

7. Illegal Drugs & HIPAA

   bagface posted a topic in HIPAA

   I work in a very busy ED, my husband works in another hospital in our area that is also a very busy ED. While we were talking something he said caught me off guard. His hospital searches their patients pockets if they are a psych/trauma/intoxicated p...

8. What does your Head to Toe really consist of?

   bagface replied to mykg's topic in Nursing

   Honestly a head to toe takes me less than 10 minutes, usually around 8 minutes give or take depending on the patient severity. When I did med surg in school we would have 4 patients assigned to us and their full care was ours and ours alone. I always...

9. No Good Very Bad Nursing Instructor

   bagface replied to misskitty22's topic in General Students

   Life is life.. you are going to get terrible instructors. Unfortunately this will happen. I had an instructor that had it out for me because I reported her for unethical behavior (she made me take patients who didn't want a student nurse and then whe...

12. On Having 2 Titles: Nurse and Patient

    bagface replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in Nursing

    As someone who is a Type II Diabetic I empathize with your situation. I think sometimes that those who don't understand are those who have never had to deal with an unknown chronic condition like diabetes. It's a hassle to not know what your body is ...

13. Almost Done - Except Sick

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Windsurfer - I care because I'm on a committee that students give feedback to the college on policies that are developed each year. Several of us were handpicked from the beginning and we have made a huge difference in the current practices/policies ...

14. Does your school discourage working?

    bagface replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    Ours also discourages working. However if you work at the hospital affiliated with them you get a 90% discount off tuition so -- why WOULDN'T you work with that discount? I work for a different hospital in an ER as a tech and I love it. I think my ho...
