  1. Polite refusal, how do I do it?

    misschelei replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    Know it alls who know nothing.....can't stand it. I take great pleasure in torturing residents with this type of attitude. But a nurse is another story. What is taking so long to get rid of her? Most...

    misschelei replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in General Nursing

  3. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    misschelei replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hey Tweety! Seattle Sutton is a person actually. She's a nurse making a fortune mass producing balanced diets. 1200 or 2000 calorie, all the meals are prepared so its real convenient and we like the...

  4. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    misschelei replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Really...........post recipies! I was always under the impression you couldn't bake with anything but the real thing or your sweets would be a flop. I always make loads of cookies for everyone around...

  6. Practicing IV sticks

    misschelei replied to vegnurse21's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't have any issues with air bubbles. That can only happen if you are using saline but tiny air bubbles are not going to kill any adult. In a hospital orientation we were once told you need...

  7. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    misschelei replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Wow! Thanx for the warm welcome. Whoever doesn't know, my dh and I started Seattle Sutton after we each gained 50 pounds since moving back to Chicago. It's only been 10 days but I truly feel so much...

  8. Anyone tried agency nursing...

    misschelei replied to MadisonsMomRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there. I've been doing straight agency for 2 years now. It can be a little scary being in unfamiliar surroundings. It helps me to use my little mental checklist at the start of a shift. I want to...

  9. Multiple Agencies?

    misschelei replied to Katnip's topic in Agency Nurses

    I just saw this thread. I'm so behind with Allnurses lately. I have 2 agencies. I like one more than the other so as a rule I use the preferred one for most of my shifts. I only use the other one when...

  10. How bad is this med error?

    misschelei replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    You have got to be kidding! Nurses leave stuff in the rooms all the time. When you go on shift you discard it all and start with your own stuff. It's not that big of a deal. The nurse who wrote you up...

  11. RN-BSN Online...Why so expensive????

    misschelei replied to Cntw82BanRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Tweety is right. Private schools get to charge whatever they want. I had 38000 in loans by the time I was done. It's been a huge thorn in my side but thats the

  12. Interviewing with TWO agencies on Monday... advice!!

    misschelei replied to NurseCard's topic in Agency Nurses

    Basically as long as your experience and references check out you've got the job. They are gonna put you through a battery of tests though be prepared for that. I was extremely unhappy with Intelistaf...

  17. TV's ER new NM, Eve

    misschelei replied to maolin's topic in General Nursing

    I think her character is a good addition. Now that Carrie is not in the picture so much they need a new whip cracking b**** on the set. Since Carole left and Abby became a doc there is not strong...

  18. TV's ER new NM, Eve

    misschelei replied to maolin's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure they just do it so they can hear whats going on around the set but I've always found that hilarious too. Sometimes I catch the older ER episodes and they really have gotten better. They don't...

  19. Vial access

    misschelei replied to Mimi2RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I like the blue harpoon system but it's effectiveness is limited. Many times you just need a big fat real needle. And I would think if not using a filtered needle on those glass vials one runs the...

    misschelei replied to misschelei's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thank you Tony Graffinino!!!! I liked him when he wore White Sox but he works much better for us in Red. One more win........Go

  21. Treating Pt in Pain

    misschelei replied to Eilana's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like she needs something around the clock such as Ultram. Once that is onboard it may be easier to treat the breakthrough pain. Drug addicts have opened up receptors in their body that cause...

  22. Looking For A Colorado Native!

    misschelei replied to grasshopper1972's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I left my heart in Colorado!!!!!!!!! The winters are mild (usually in the 50's). When it snows it looks like powdered sugar but it melts right away due to the elevation. Even the 3 feet we got a...

  24. Student nurse, What I saw very upset....

    misschelei replied to crb613's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It sounds like this patient was really hurt. Why did he not complain? That's what I would want to get to the bottom of then take it from there. This is a personal choice. You have to decide how far...

  25. The "bully" nurse

    misschelei replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Right on the button again Daytonite! If they get a hint of the scent of fear from you they think they can own you. But when you take a stand with a professional approach they tend to not want to mess...
