    Nurses please try to look a little more polished at work

    RNsRWe replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I'M a person who's had this problem (before I found petite pants that really ARE petite). I went to a seamstress, who tailored them to fit me beautifully, with about fifteen minutes' time taken...

    Share The Weirdest Reasons Patients Push The Call Light

    RNsRWe replied to RN06-NP09's topic in Nursing Humor

    Without having read through all nearly-600 posts, I'll throw out my favorite from a few years back: Elderly patient, A&Ox3 but "odd". Do her admission, hand her the call bell, explain what it's...

    RNsRWe replied to RN06-NP09's topic in Nursing Humor

    I wouldn't have even bothered discussing it as a possibility......it isn't a "service" anywhere. The woman wanted her hubby to get free food and not have to move an inch to get it? Too bad! Dietary...

    Are MAs licensed/certified? Can a graduate of a nursing program work as one?

    RNsRWe replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    Ironic, that I was just about to post that most of the MA spots I've seen DON'T require ANY experience....just the ability to learn how to take a blood pressure, weigh someone and fill out forms...

    Describe the Ugliest Scrubs You Have Seen!

    RNsRWe replied to PacoUSA's topic in Nursing Humor

    Worked for a short time with a Barbie wannabe; cadmium yellow hair and the tightest scrubs she could wrestle her body into each day. We all looked forward to "what is she gonna show up in next"! I...

    Two bits of advice: first, start your own thread with this question, as the person who did start this thread is seeking her/his own advice. A new thread with your question has a chance of getting...

    How do I set limits on caregiving with a family member?

    RNsRWe replied to beachmom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with Jade on this one: next time he's hospitalized (which he will be, of course), you need to make case management aware that you will NOT be taking responsibility for him or his care, and that...

    I would rather have had a Thank You For This Post button, but as there was none, I hit "Like". Holy crap doesn't begin to cover it. Any idea of the disciplinary action for the negligent nurse?...

    RNsRWe replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Depends on how much time you want to devote to it, but I'd be tempted to go to that tv show's website (or the network's website), find a contact phone number, and make a complaint. And THEN tell them...

    RNsRWe replied to tabblet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I guess I'll go with "or what". It's not "nosey" to read what you've posted and not reply. Once I read what your problem was, I knew that I had no idea what to tell you that would be of help....

    Reccomend a gender neutral title to replace "Nurse"!

    RNsRWe replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    And how insulting a term would it be, 'female doctor', or 'female engineer'? (btw, gmta, I thought of 'femgineer' only after posting, lol....). I'd think 'male nurse' would be viewed as insulting as...

    But see, it's not false advertising. The cutting edge technology might actually BE in the building in which the MA is employed. They DO "work at the doctor's side" in a few rare and brief instances,...
