    Blue--I love getting my hair done. Besides, if they cut off a couple of inches, that's got to add to your weight loss, right? Anyway, think of how cute you'll look at the gym

    Well, going to church twice on Sunday ought to make up for any "evil" intake I couldn't quite tell if the "evil" came from something you ate with your coffee or added to it . . . Either way, you...

  10. What's your favorite type of patient?

    hikernurse replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Ones with normal breath sounds . Abnormal sounds are something I'm still working on. I like the ones that need some kind of emotional support and help in sorting out feelings/needs. Maybe a pt...

  11. Advice Please - Thank You!

    hikernurse replied to Seven, RN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shoes--wear what's comfortable. Lots of people wear crocs and if they work for you, then great! I usually wear whichever pair of running shoes I've just demoted, LOL. You're going to want shoes...

  12. You're Going to Practice on ME?!?!

    hikernurse replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We did IM, blood draws, and IVs on each other. If somebody felt strongly about not getting poked they could have probably avoided it, but nobody did. I have great veins and had a couple different...

    You rock, Muff :) Aw, Zoe, thanks. I'm starting to feel better. Called in sick tonight (which I hate to do) because I didn't think staying up all night was going to help. Rain, way to go! That's...

  14. What is your weakness?

    hikernurse replied to StrwbryblndRN's topic in General Nursing

    Dirty bottoms. Not the poopy ones, just the generally unclean--not that the pt's can always help it; but I always want to find a way to get them under running water, not just cleaned with a basin....

    hikernurse replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Absolutely--it's perceived effort that counts I'm sorry about your cold. Ugh. I hope you're feeling better soon! Nothing like a cold to make you so grateful for NOT having a cold. I've been...

    Muffie--that oatmeal combo sounds good. I'm feeling kind of punky (I'm afraid I'm coming down with the throw-up stuff the baby's had) and that sounds soothing for dinner. I'm going to give it a...

    Zoe, somehow the answer to your first question ended up in the middle of your quote. I'd try to fix it, but I worked last night and that would require too much thought on 4 hours of sleep

  21. rules for student nurses

    hikernurse replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    hikernurse replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Zoe, I laughed and laughed. I kept scrolling down and laughing harder. But, I've got to tell you, High Acuity is NOT my sweetheart. I'm afraid we have a somewhat adversarial relationship right now,...

    hikernurse replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hey Sarah. I couldn't figure out a way to turn your user name into a nickname . I'm an RN student working as an LPN and I find starting IV's are still a little touch and go for me . . . but I...

    I think I will hit WalMart this morning. I'll also take your suggestion about a good air pump--although maybe using the woosie one could count as exercise for the day I've read where even sitting on...
