  1. BSN minimum requirement

    nursejanedough replied to Lburns's topic in General Nursing

    The older I get, the less I seem to know or understand. Charles, I had to look up "dichotomy", but I knew what succinct meant - so I thought, uh oh, if he can't do "succinct" it might be a little...

  2. SURELY someone will share their sense of humor!

    nursejanedough replied to roth0003's topic in Nursing Humor

    I just read my old post about the elderly man cranked up into the sitting position. I left out the funniest part. The good CNA had left his eyes open. It was a weird scene with his family...

  3. What Freaks You Out?

    nursejanedough replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, PINKYEl, when I was a nurse extern in surgery that cauterizing "smell" was horrible. I did not eat red meat for about a year after working there. And to Opie, I know you have better gross ER...

  4. What Freaks You Out?

    nursejanedough replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    The dog slurping got to me also. I just called my sis, ex ER nurse, to please post some of her stories. She told me one about a patient coming in with a horrible smell, had dead leaves in lady parts...

  5. Do you miss lunch or dinner breaks routinely?

    nursejanedough replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    3/15/01. I was a floor nurse in a Nursing Home/LTC (Long Term Care). Breaks? LOL. (Laugh Out Loud). We were told by postings, and slips inside our paycheck envelope if we did not clock out for...

  6. What Freaks You Out?

    nursejanedough replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    These are all hilarious. I am still laughing over Rex's chicken feathers! Mucus is what freaks me out. Walk9, you Respiratory Therapists are very gifted people. What used to freak me out was when I...

  7. Medicare requirements for skin assessment on admission to skilled nursing home

    nursejanedough replied to Tim-GNP's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, GIV. You can also get some free publications from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The web site is www.ahrq.gov. There is a catalog you can order from for free publications. I...

  8. SURELY someone will share their sense of humor!

    nursejanedough replied to roth0003's topic in Nursing Humor

    I am not sure if I understood the last joke. We are all warped in our own way. As a geriatric nurse, I still think about this and still chuckle. Why? What is wrong with me? They say that nervous...

  9. IS THIS YOU?

    nursejanedough replied to SUBQ's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all of you. I am one of those "instant" headache people around strong perfume. I was sitting beside my daughter the other day in church and I whispered to her "Do you smell that strong...

  10. Demerol, YUCK!

    nursejanedough replied to kewlnurse's topic in General Nursing

    opie, you are right. Better to give a potential drug seeker his "fix" in the ER, than to let him go and do "God knows what, stealing, or getting harder illegal drugs". I don't have all the answers....

    Amen, mustangsheba. Sadly, the South, I think is still far behind on certain medical

  14. Demerol, YUCK!

    nursejanedough replied to kewlnurse's topic in General Nursing

    We all seem to have such strong opinions on things we have never experienced. Years before I was a nurse, I worked for a neurologist who had a headache clinic. (I did billing). I would see all these...

  16. Demerol, YUCK!

    nursejanedough replied to kewlnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I just have to unload again. This is about pain control. I am still haunted by a situation when I worked adult psych. There was a geriatric psych unit next door to us that was overflowing. We...

  18. How do I return to work?

    nursejanedough replied to stprdi's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry stp, I know it is hard to lose a parent. You said you had a month off and something about going on a holiday which makes me think you might be from England? All I know is that I am from...

  20. I have a question for all nursing home nurses.

    nursejanedough replied to chili2641's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Jill, maybe you are right. Maybe all nurses and MD's should do the nursing assistant job (CNA) in LTC, especially, for at least 3 months. OK, maybe MD's for a week. It is very hard work. CNA's,...

  21. Million Nurse March

    nursejanedough replied to Chellyse's topic in General Nursing

    I got in touch with a union organizer to find out what could be done about nursing and cna shortage, etc. He said that in the South it is extremely difficult to organize a union for nurses and cna's...

  22. Needles

    nursejanedough replied to Dennis13's topic in General Nursing

    I can take an injection in the arm, hip, etc. and I give great injections, (have been told by many patients, "that was the best shot I've ever had, didn't feel a thing." (Secret - inject real fast,...

  23. Flatulence Humor

    nursejanedough replied to bstreit's topic in Nursing Humor

    This is an old one, but here it goes. Did you hear about the man that went to the doc with a bad cough? The doc said, "Take two big doses of castor oil." The patient said, "Ya mean that will cure my...

  24. Having your water turned off

    nursejanedough replied to woodyRN's topic in General Nursing

    If we are all washing our hands appropriately after patient care, (like we should!!!) and going back to nursing station to drink out of our "labeled bottled water", what can be the harm? Believe me,...

  25. tattle tell

    nursejanedough replied to daisie's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck, daisie. I know you will find something out there as a nurse that will be more rewarding and not as stressful. As an RN, some non-stressful positions I have tried were surgery and low key...
