    Silliest thing you ever did after a long shift...

    prmenrs replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    One co-worker did 3-12 hr nights, than got on a plane in the morning after the last shift. She woke up a while later w/her head on the man next to her's shoulder, BIG drool mark on his shirt....

    Neonatal PRBC Infiltrate

    prmenrs replied to SteveNNP's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I had one of those once. They do NOT go away, @ least for a very long time. It does not hurt the baby (of the tissues) like a Ca++ burn would. I'm not sure if Wydase would help or not, I think when...

    Crazy Tampon Commercial

    prmenrs replied to nightfall2099's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think that's the company marketing their products w/the slogan, "Have a happy period!" HUH?? What the heck is a happy period? (I know, if you think you're preggers and don't want to be, it can be...

    Translation

    prmenrs replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    Cyracom--great service! We now have them in every pt room, and 2 in the NICU. The cost is probably cheaper than a really nasty lawsuit because the pt didn't understand the doc/nurse or vice-versa,...

    YEEOOOUCH! I'd offer to kiss your boo-boo, but somehow that seems redundant. Like Suzanne said, take care of that

    prmenrs replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have some strict "surf control access" where I work. You tube, myspace, etc., are definite no-no's !!! Virus attack plus bandwidth. Can't hardly blame them. As long as I can get on allnurses...

    You can put a repogle in orally. About a 12F is all you should try. Use some hot water on it to soften it, then curl it around your finger till it's a little cooler. It should slide right down. An...

    I understand what Liz is trying to say. Just because the pain is swept under the fentanyl drip, the baby's situation is just as grime as ever. That said, if he is going to improve, he'll do so more...

    Great way to get experience for nursing students!
