  1. You should know better

    Elle23 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say it's your dad's fault for having kids AND white carpet! Have one or the other, but the two should never co-exist! (Oh man...I love me some

  2. I Hate People (my rant)

  3. I Hate People (my rant)

    Elle23 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just about wrecked my car the other day to avoid a squirrel with a death wish running across the

  4. I Hate People (my rant)

    Elle23 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Serious animal lover here. I'd just about rather die than see animals suffer. I just cannot handle

  5. You should know better

    Elle23 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    It's really just black pepper I don't like. I'm ok with the other kinds in moderation. I'm not a huge fan of spicy things though. Except tabasco sauce. I could drink the stuff (ok, not really, but I...

  6. You should know better

    Elle23 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my word! I could eat the whole bag in one sitting! I could never go back to regular chips after tasting the lightly salted ones! I like the lightly salted Fritos as

  7. I Hate People (my rant)

    Elle23 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your words about "Bible thumping" nurses is just as offensive as the "offensive" post you are ranting

  8. You should know better

    Elle23 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like pepper. I don't know anyone else who doesn't like pepper. Am I weird? I don't even cook with it. I just skip it if called for in a recipe.

  9. I Hate People (my rant)

    Elle23 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The newborns, babies, and children are never the problem. It's the parents and families that come with them that are the

  10. I Hate People (my rant)

    Elle23 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is truth! I worked NICU for many years long ago. I worked nights and rarely interacted with families. Now they have gone so far as to make all NICU rooms private so the families can move in and...

  11. I Hate People (my rant)

    Elle23 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hate people that hate

  12. You should know better

    Elle23 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Ha ha...I just griped about this before I scrolled down and saw your post. I'd just have to stare you down the whole meal so you couldn't contaminate my delicate chip/ salt balance. Nice, relaxing...

  13. You should know better

    Elle23 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I admit to going into near hysterics when I am at a Mexican restaurant and someone at my table salts (the already salty!) tortilla chips! We'd just have to order separate bowls of chips, and we'd be...

  14. I Hate People (my rant)

    Elle23 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you can get by in nursing without being a people person. Now there is a difference between just being socially inept (like me) and downright hating people. I can't see ever being happy as a...

  15. I Hate People (my rant)

    Elle23 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am a loner, but I don't hate people or kids (have 4...go figure). I have noticed how increasingly rude, self-centered, demanding, vindictive, and thoughtless people seem to be becoming, however. And...

  16. You should know better

    Elle23 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    1. I work nights. I never, ever get enough sleep. 2. I eat too much junk and am overweight. 3. I love Diet Coke (though I don't drink it too much because the withdrawals from it are horrid). 4....

  17. Terrible Twos?

    Elle23 replied to nicole anne's topic in Private Duty

    My patient is 2 1/2 and is the sweetest, funniest, most adorable kid there is! (Though developmentally he is not 2 1/2 years....maybe that is the

  18. Overnight Shift if Newly Pregnant?

    Elle23 replied to missy26's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked nights with all my pregnancies. It wasn't a big deal. I didn't feel any worse than when I wasn't pregnant (expect for the usual nausea and tiredness which happens regardless of which shift...

  19. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    Elle23 replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I honestly can't recall anything nasty or mean that has been said to me. That could be because I spent a large chunk of my career at a hospital where most of the families (NICU) didn't speak English....

  20. Employee benefits we don't get in Pdn

    Elle23 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    I recall being offered something like that. It was for very minimal coverage (it wasn't even a basic health insurance program, more like a supplemental plan). And there was still a premium every...

  21. IS THIS TRUE???

    Elle23 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Probably! I wouldn't wear a tank top and shorts to check the mail, so I sure wouldn't be wearing it at school! I function just fine as a nurse (and a patient when need be). I admit I have very...

  22. IS THIS TRUE???

    Elle23 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    It's not frightening to me, just something I would choose not to do (for reasons I won't go into here so the thread doesn't get derailed). Just because a person is modest and discreet doesn't mean...

  23. IS THIS TRUE???

    Elle23 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    In the clinical setting, on actual patients. Isn't that what clinicals are for? For skills such as IVs and such we practiced on fake body parts before attempting them on people in clinicals. Sorry,...

  24. IS THIS TRUE???

    Elle23 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Wow... Thankfully this never occurred in my nursing program. It seems a little....odd, to say the least. It is one thing for a professional to be touching me/ seeing me disrobed in a medical setting...
