  1. recycling- seriously

    ScrappingTrojan replied to jenna_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I posted an inquiry last year about this issue. Seems like no one is really recycling at work. My coworkers and I have formed a green committee on our unit but are getting nowhere with the powers that...

  2. Experience required for Hospice RN

    ScrappingTrojan replied to IDidIt2007's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Are there any pediatric hospice nurses here? I've been working in peds for 8 years, 6 as an RN. I have cared for dying pts with Cystic Fibrosis and am very interested in hospice nursing. I'm curious...

  3. Recycling at work?

    ScrappingTrojan posted a topic in General Nursing

    We're wondering at work about recycling efforts on your units/job sites. Specifically, do you recycle (not reuse) things like sterile water containers? Would love to hear about your recycling...

  4. Anyone from The Woodlands?

    ScrappingTrojan posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm a peds RN in Los Angeles, hoping against all hope that the housing market crashes in Southern California so I can afford a home. But, I seriously doubt that will happen, so I've been thinking...

  5. Nursing is my oyster...now where to live

    ScrappingTrojan replied to NO1_2NV's topic in General Nursing

    So I take it you're happy with the decision? Where in SoCal did you move from? Do you work in Ft. Worth or Dallas? I have family and a friend in and around Dallas, so it would make sense for me to...

  8. Anyone from The Woodlands?

    ScrappingTrojan replied to ScrappingTrojan's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, wanna be neighbors? Seriously, doesn't ANYONE live there? Or are y'all keeping it your little

  9. Nursing is my oyster...now where to live

    ScrappingTrojan replied to NO1_2NV's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above posters about renting being a waste of money, I should know, that's all I've ever done. And with the housing situation as it is in Southern California, I'll probably keep...

  10. Visitation

    ScrappingTrojan replied to JeriLou's topic in Pediatric

    The parents on our unit can come and go anytime, both are technically allowed to stay however usually only one stays because they can usually only fit one person on the couch. But if both parents are...

  11. I would be interested in pediatrics, but...

    ScrappingTrojan replied to NurseCard's topic in Pediatric

    As with everything in nursing, you'll learn how to deal with kids. But I totally agree with the post above about looking into a facilty with a good preceptorship, internship program, residency, etc....

  12. Working with the kids.

    ScrappingTrojan replied to soon to be nurse's topic in Pediatric

    Please just remember you can't always "make them better." Often helping them die with dignity will be how you help

  13. Day sleepers..........

    ScrappingTrojan replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I fall asleep driving, standing up, on the toilet, so a bit of California sunshine from my wide open window doesn't bother me.

  14. Is there such a thing as a "VIP" patient?

    ScrappingTrojan replied to ButterflyRN04's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    At our peds hospital, being VIP just means you get your own room (which rarely happens). If anything, the only concession they get is having the more affable nurses. Being in L.A. though, a LOT of...

  17. What did someone do that you knew to get fired or kicked out of school?

    ScrappingTrojan replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Someone in my class was kicked out for having made a comment about coming in and shooting our OB instructor. This was right after Columbine, so everyone was really nervous. At the time, I thought...

    Drats, gotta get cable. When I read about this incident a while back, I thought it'd make a great movie. Wish I could have watched

    ScrappingTrojan replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    This show stinks and is demeaning to nurses, but I have to see my man Patrick Dempsey! I think from now on I'll mute the TV. What's up with ABC and nurses lately? Did anyone catch Desperate...
