  2. Kadivars and Cats in A&P

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We used the cats in A&P. Four students per cat. I think my brain got semi numbed by the formaldehyde, so the cat itself didn't bother me as much as I had thought it would. Besides, one of the...

  3. What squicks you out?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like eyes either. But my main squick is... Everytime I have to dig out an impaction, I gag. I even forewarn the pt. I tell them that I don't mind doing it, but I know I am going to gag, I...

  4. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I was on break outside in a gazebo at a LTC facility with a CNA. The CNA pointed out a black cat on the roof of the facility and said, "Everytime that cat shows up on the roof, someone who's bed is...

  5. Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

    I often look people in the eyes as I walk up the corridor, and it makes me feel a bit awkward when certain ones don't even acknowledge my existence . Oh well, I'm sure their necks would snap if they...

  6. a rant (pts come to hospital for the littlest of things)

    Luv2BAnurse replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I get that too. Even when all labs, scans, etc are normal, the patient c/o such awful pain, and says that we better find out what's wrong and fix it. When the patient is being discharged because the...

  7. if only for one day......

    Luv2BAnurse replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. What if I do not have enough time to do 3000 ques. before my exam???

    Luv2BAnurse replied to pie123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't take anywhere near 3000 practice questions. I passed (in one try). Of course the more practice questions you take, the better. What I found most helpful, however, was the strategies most...

    Luv2BAnurse replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  11. Wearing scrubs in public...

    Luv2BAnurse replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Gee.... I wonder if the hospitals should have a separate cafeteria for workers and visitors. I'd hate to think someone sat in my chair after I got up...and got a germ on

  12. How do I wear this?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    I never had a cap. Nor a pinning ceremony. I think the caps looked professional, but at the same time I'm glad we don't wear them. Actually, it's nice not to have to wear white except by

  14. HIPPA Violations

    Luv2BAnurse replied to tirednurse's topic in General Nursing

    But, you know, you can spread rumors without seeing anyone's name on a list. AND, everyone would know that the person spreading the rumor was at the office, or how would she know who else was there....

  15. What is your least favorite kind of med-surg patient?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    agreeing with vanillapalomino...it's the families! (and other visitors). The ones who "camp out" in the room with the patient and never leave. These are the same ones who hover over the patient while...

  16. All You Lefty's Out there....

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

    I open the refrigerator with my left hand, so I can pull out the coke fastest with my right

  17. Disposing of IV bags?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to PJMommy's topic in General Nursing

    When information is faxed about a patient, all of the pertinent information is on that too. Usually there is a disclaimer, especially for email, that if the "wrong" person should receive it, to shred...

  18. new grad

    Luv2BAnurse replied to brody's topic in Nursing Career

    There are occasional new grads that work the ED in my hospital. They like it, and felt that the orientation was adequate. I would not have been comfortable working in ED as a new grad, but...

  19. SAD: Just Wondering........

    Luv2BAnurse replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with you on that one! I get depressed when it's

  20. Disposing of IV bags?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to PJMommy's topic in General Nursing

    As long as the person's name and information isn't visible, we throw it in the trash. I have been known to just tear, scratch, mark over that information. Don't forget G tube feedings, NGT feedings,...

  21. I have a question about humor etiquette

    Luv2BAnurse replied to gentlemother's topic in General Nursing

    Humor can be a good thing. It allows your patients an opportunity to be "on the inside" with you. I was voted most humorous in my class in nursing school. Three years at my present job, I tend to...

  22. What is it about Med-Surg?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Mint Julip's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Med surg is wonderful. But then again, any job is...as long as you make it that way. Working in a small hospital on the med/surg floor allows for many diverse diagnoses, age ranges from infants to...

  23. Nurse, There's a Spider in My Throat

    Luv2BAnurse replied to AngelSpirit's topic in Emergency

    Spiders aren't so bad. It's when a snake is in you that it's

  24. Questions about Nursing Profession PLEASE HELP!

    Luv2BAnurse replied to mertigress's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm just curious as to why you aren't asking a nurse in person. Communication is key to nursing. Yes, I know there are other forms of communication besides
