  1. "Gallows" humor

    JessicaInOr replied to chemosabe's topic in Oncology

    I couldn't agree with you more. Ever listen to policemen talk about their stories? You laugh until your face hurts. Sometimes it is funny and sometimes it isn't. But we laugh anyway, don't we?...

  2. IV filters with Chemo???

    JessicaInOr replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Oncology

    Best advice I have for you is to call Pharmacy. Do you have clinical pharmacists there? The guys that are on the floors? If so they are a wealth of information. When I was in college I worked as a...

  3. Is it okay to slug an oncologist?

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Oncology

    You know what? This is exactly what I thought was going on. I thought he either heard what he wanted to hear (he does that lots of times) or he was trying to protect me. I'm a big 'ol daddy's girl...

  4. Is it okay to slug an oncologist?

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Oncology

    My Dad lives in Iowa, I live in Arizona. I've been calling the onc for two weeks now and he isn't returning my calls. His receptionist type person said he can't talk to me, he can only speak with...

  5. Is it okay to slug an oncologist?

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Oncology

    He won't. He totally trusts and believes this guy. I even approached him by saying ... look, we have to be realistic. You can't afford a mistake. What's the harm in getting a 2nd or 3rd or even...

  6. What's the difference between these nurses?

    JessicaInOr replied to imastudent's topic in General Nursing

    I think you'll find that once you do it the first time, it really isn't a big deal. You'll be poking people for lots of reasons, starting IVs, drawing blood, giving injections... you can't really...

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    Yep! There are some things I'll share with anyone but not R! He's mine and it will stay that way.

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    It was a combination of things. My stuttering, half words, my embarrassment at how I knew I sounded, and then just blurting out co-wives. Suffice it to say it didn't come out right and I was left...

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    The gal I talked to yesterday is a nurse (I believe) and although she is one of multiple wives to the same man, it isn't the same husband as my patients. When I realized she was one of multiple wives...

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    They aren't Mormon? I guess I kind of view it like how Catholics and Baptists are Christians, just not the same brand. The Colorado City Mormons are Mormons just not like the folks in Mesa, Arizona....

  11. What's the difference between these nurses?

    JessicaInOr replied to imastudent's topic in General Nursing

    You know the funny thing about giving injections? Once you learn to give them, they aren't such a big deal to receive anymore either. They hurt a lot more before I learned to give them. I've only...

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    You know what? Honestly and sincerely I can do that, as long as it doesn't involve children. Let the adults do anything they darn well please. But children... oye, that's a whole new ballgame....

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think I'd get the absolute

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    I know lots of Mormon folks that don't condone this lifestyle. By b/f is the same as your hubby. We have talked about this issue and he doesn't 'get' it but he does try to understand their

  15. What's the difference between these nurses?

    JessicaInOr replied to imastudent's topic in General Nursing

    My suggestion is to spend some time in Med/Surg. That is where you will seriously learn some organizational skills. You will need that regardless of where you go. I have spent most of my time in OR,...

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    Ohhh! Good idea! Thank you! I wonder, if I were to go there and just explain as I have here... I wonder if they do have anything if they would take the time to point it out. I would think they...

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    I know. Actually since she was clearly open to educating me I asked if I could ask a question. I asked about the little girls. I said what little I know about this is that little adolescent girls...

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't the family you are thinking of, but they are likely neighbors. Yes, this is Colorado City, Arizona. You know, I really haven't come across them in all these years. They don't meander to...

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    You know, if I would have thought this one through before opening my big mouth I would have been okay. All the sudden I was just stuck, I had no idea what word I was looking for. Co-wives seemed...

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

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    Sister-wife, that sounds reasonable.

  21. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    JessicaInOr replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks for seeing the humor I attempted to interject. I was trying to make a point, you clearly see my point. I love male nurses. They bring something to nursing that females don't. Call me a...

  22. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    JessicaInOr replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I agree. According to the numbers of people reading and posting, it is a topic people are interested in. If anything this is a good lesson in boundaries and that seems to be the core...

  23. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    JessicaInOr replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHAHA!!!! Are you serious? Now you presume to know why we are not married? Since you didn't ask, I won't assume you want the truth, you made up your own truth and you seem to be quite happy with...

  24. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    JessicaInOr replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    Kenni... You write: >>I don't mind discussing religion with others. I really don't care what denomination it is, but I prefer they had God somehow in their lives. it's when they start trying to...

  25. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    JessicaInOr replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    So if I approached you and asked you to give up your God and be an atheist so you could be as happy as me, that wouldn't make you feel a little put off? Not even just a TINY bit? Is it really up to...
