Who knew the size of the colonoscope was the big change” administration was talking about for the GI Lab?

I left my first nursing job with about 8 months experience for an equivalent job. Then I only worked at the new job for a few months before I had a medical problem, took a few months off, then got a third job where I work now. Extra, relevant certifi...

Kidney stone patients are legit. I would never get mad at a patient for showing up in horrible pain with blood in their urine and uncontrolled nausea and vomiting. If they didn't follow up then I would be disappointed. But geez... kidney stones suck!...

I think they should just shorten it to "Issues" :-)

LoL ... awesome.

I love people that ask for food that are in no condition to eat! Anyone have stories to share about patients begging for food, sneaking food, etc. Examples: Last week, when someone going out from the propofol so we could stick his dislocated should...

Cheeseburger in Paradise Lost...

When it comes to studying in nursing school, I stuck with the habits that helped me succeed in other courses. What does the teacher emphasize? Are the tests and assignments out of the book, the power point, the lecture, or practice test questions fro...

This one fast food place has a french-fry-done alarm that sounds exactly like the abnormal BP alarm, instantly transporting me to imaginary work with all the imaginary stresses! Either that or whoever I'm eating with has to endure twenty minutes of b...

You're like, the good smell compounding pharmacy - or better yet, a dealer! Hitting the hard stuff, are we sharpeimom? ;-)

Are you actually conducting a Twin Study or was that just one of the worst pick up lines we've ever heard?

The only way he could tell Sara and Sharon apart is that Sharon constantly had her mouth open.

Seriously? The first thing you say to a set of blonde twins is 'Now you can clean up the code brown in room 5 twice as fast'?

I hate it when someone brings the same DNA to work as me!

I accidentally copy-pasted myself in the EMR.

Is that an absence seizure or just an uncomfortably long stare?

I don't believe professors lie on purpose. But I did have some tell me the following ...err...mistruths: Jack Lalanne is dead; his exercise and dieting didn't save him from a heart attack at an early age. (he was alive at the time I was told this fac...

I think in an interview process you might stand out more because you're a male. Aside from that - ehh... not much else. But, hey, this is only an opinion! If you stand out from the crowd, it's your job to show the person what you've got and what you...

Learn when to hold your breath strategically! Also, I wouldn't say that "embrace" different smells... I think the word I'm looking for is "understand" different smells... they mean something. C diff doesn't smell like normal BM. Smell enough urine or...
