  1. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Un! Same goes with my patients as well. They don't want new blood mixed in there and if I remember this well it has something to do with their bloodline being from Joseph or whoever he was. They...

    JessicaInOr replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

  3. How often do female pts request male nurses?

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Men in Nursing

  4. How often do female pts request male nurses?

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't know, I guess I have a hard time believing that anyone would say as you suggest. Otherwise every female that goes to a male doctor for *anything* is on the edge of mental illness. You have...

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Men in Nursing

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

  9. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    These are a couple of huge differences between the Amish and my folks. My folks use a LOT of welfare dollars, a huge number of them. They refer to it as 'bleeding the beast.' *WE* are the beast....

  10. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    Oh! I didn't need to explain that! That's what made the whole thing even worse! Both patients were known to the woman I was talking to on the phone. I SHOULD have just said D or J, but noooooo, I...

    JessicaInOr replied to MamaT's topic in Nursing Humor

  12. Medication humor

    JessicaInOr replied to MamaT's topic in Nursing Humor

  13. Medication humor

    JessicaInOr replied to MamaT's topic in Nursing Humor

    Am I the only one with a patient that didn't want a new Rx for AVC supps because they don't work and they taste too bad?

  14. Medication humor

    JessicaInOr replied to MamaT's topic in Nursing Humor

    DARN is that isn't the truth! You know, you can get the CEO of some mega huge company, a person responsible for millions of dollars daily, someone responsible for the jobs of hundreds of people and...

  15. Medication humor

    JessicaInOr replied to MamaT's topic in Nursing Humor

    Had a female patient a few years ago that needed a lower GI. We gave her an Rx for a Fleet's prep kit. You know, the one with Phospha Soda, Dulcolax tabs and a Fleet's enema. I explained to her how...

  16. April fools got me!

    JessicaInOr replied to Antikigirl's topic in Nursing Humor

    Happens to be we have had some extra bizarre patients lately. One lady called to ask if we had put growth hormone in her Forteo because she was growing. She was just sure she was growing by the day....

  17. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    No, that isn't accurate. There are many many families out there and tons of last names. I don't know what the population is there but I know we have a slew of them on our caseloads. The kids are on...

  18. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    I've thought about that but it doesn't feel right. I don't really know either of them well yet. Perhaps after I get to know them a little more I could but not now. These are extremely private...

  19. 1950s nursing

    JessicaInOr replied to colrainrn's topic in General Nursing

    A friend brought her grandmother's nursing text book to work one day. Chapter 1 was full of recipes, the nurses cooked the food too. Chapter 2 was how to treat the doc, he is to be treated with total...

  20. 1950s nursing

    JessicaInOr replied to colrainrn's topic in General Nursing

    I remember those. I was working in a SNF and sent a patient to the ER because of an amazingly high BS. That was the day I discovered I am color deficient. His actual BS was 120. Who knew? :chuckle...

  22. What's the difference between these nurses?

    JessicaInOr replied to imastudent's topic in General Nursing

    No, mine was a fellow student. Lucky girl she was! HA We practiced most everything on each other. Starting IVs, injections, venipuncture, bed baths, the works. That part of school wasn't fun. A...

  23. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    No, I really haven't dealt with pregnant teens from this group. I was mostly OR, ICU, and Trauma. When I was looking for that job that didn't have all the crap to go with it (politics) I tried...

  24. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you have exactly identified my problem with this. Let the adults do what they will. I'm sure I do a few things that others don't approve of, that's life. We won't all agree on things. My...
