    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    #LesbiansLoveCurious1997 ? One thing to be grateful for is at least here in America I can type all this anti-patriotic stuff and not go to political prison for speaking out against the government. We...

  2. Vocera! Can you talk to...?

    LibraNurse27 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone's job use Voceras? I'm not a big fan but I see how they make communication easier on a big unit. I think it creates a Pavlovian negative association. Whenever your Vocera rings you know...

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I also want this, and I think many other Americans too. We are supposed to be the land of the free, home of the brave, all men ( I guess not women?) created equal, liberty and justice for all, blah...

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting! I didn't think of the ADN aspect, but many of my older coworkers do have their ADN only. And they are some of the best nurses I've ever worked with! They taught me a lot when I came out...

  11. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! I think the posts resonate with people because they are common feelings but taken to the extreme. I also have material wealth aspirations, want to be a DNR, and like to go above and beyond for my...

  13. Nurses on Match.Com

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    There is a website called Elite Singles where you have to have a certain level of income and education and pay for it. One of my doctor friends tried it but found it kind of snobby. She is Mexican and...

  14. Nurses on Match.Com

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    @Curious1997, I met my partner online, and one tip I have for you is to quickly transition from online messaging/texting to in person meet up or at least phone call. People can seem totally different...

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    @Davey Do are you really behind the sensational @SilverBells posts? I can't tell if you're joking! Maybe I'm gullible. Like others I was starting to wonder if it was all a joke, but at first I really...

  16. Always Feeling Stupid

    LibraNurse27 replied to Whitneyz's topic in General Nursing

    Just because no one tells you about mistakes they have made doesn't mean no other nurse has ever made a mistake. I didn't tell students and new nurses I precepted about my past mistakes unless they...

  17. Nurses on Match.Com

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The only nurse to get covid on our covid unit didn't get it at work, she got it sleeping with random guys (her words, not mine!) on the dating app Plenty Of Fish. She told everyone about it, the whole...

    LibraNurse27 replied to kjeanw's topic in General Nursing

    I remember being shocked when I saw a seasoned nurse unclog a g tube with orange soda LOL but it did work. I guess a g tube is not sterile...? is it the same as drinking orange soda? still on the...

  19. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    LibraNurse27 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    It was one of my male coworkers who made most of the drama! He took pictures of things night shift did wrong, like a drop of blood on the glucometer or IV tubing they didn't change and show the pics...

  21. How Has Your Nursing Career Affected Your Relationships Or Other Aspects of Your Life?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Grave concerns? After one attempt on a fake arm? That seems over the top... it takes a lot of practice on real people to get good. Seems some people are naturally really good at IVs, but others can...

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You wouldn't be this particular baby's mother if she hadn't had him with your ex. That is HER baby. If you had a baby with your ex it wouldn't be the same baby. Important distinction. This baby has...

    I did feel happy getting compliments and gratitude from patients, and also internal satisfaction for doing a good wound change, starting a difficult IV, smooth NGT insertion, etc. Even if pt was...
