  1. Sad and angry about what I overheard BUT NOT SUPRISED.

    nurseby07 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I am disgusted but not surprised.

  2. Unit dues

    nurseby07 replied to Nacki's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with you. If you want to give money, give it, but don't make employees give. If I really like someone I would give more, if it's someone who I don't, I don't. Easy enough without...

  3. Who Watches ER?

    nurseby07 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    Watching ER way back when was what made me decide to go back to school. I stopped watching after George Clooney left. Grey's is beyond stupid, but I still record it and watch it. I agree with Spidey's...

  4. I did something that now makes me think I was acting like a druggie/doper/thief...

    nurseby07 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    That's along the same lines as someone giving me an unwanted back rub while I'm charting or worse, taking my hair out of it's pony tail to "fix" it. HATE THAT. That nurse has probably posted here...

  5. Staff Carrying Pyjamas On Night Shift!!

    nurseby07 replied to adoyo's topic in General Nursing

    I've been so tired on nightshift that I have fallen asleep at my computer. Also, aren't scrubs just like pj's?

  6. Just thought I'd share something gross

    nurseby07 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry! I have to start honing in on my table manners for Thanksgiving when my mother-in-law is here eating at a table with three

  7. Just thought I'd share something gross

    nurseby07 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I think that is really disgusting, BUT, I would take it over the unbelievably foul smelling wound vac change with the colostomy leaking into it, with the the patient holding the colostomy contents in...

  8. Stay with nursing or move on to another career?

    nurseby07 replied to avsmch's topic in General Nursing

    I think you would get better advice if you listed what you were interested in and then see if you can apply nursing to it. I know people on this site don't like when people say nursing is a calling,...

  9. Meltdown at work

    nurseby07 replied to RiverNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry you've had that awful stress at work. Yuck is all I can say. I've been there and only have one thing to say...home health![/i] Seriously, you are your own team and the biggest stress you have...

  10. Each job title wears it's own color.

    nurseby07 replied to borzoilady's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if scrubs=nurse all the time. Yesterday I was at Trader Joes in my scrubs and the guy said "I'll bet you work in a dentist's office" I had to check and make sure my nursing cap was on...

  11. in need of MANY prayers....

    nurseby07 replied to angelwingsamy's topic in General Nursing

    I bet she didn't sleep because of the awful anxiety. OH YUCK do I remember that! I know many people who passed at 265 and failed at 75. You passed..you passed...you passed...you passed.... I'll pray...

  12. Each job title wears it's own color.

    nurseby07 replied to borzoilady's topic in General Nursing

    Back to the whites thing...my 67 year old mother thinks its "deplorable" that I don't wear white shoes. In my teen years it was my hair, in my twenties it was my kid's hair, in my thirties it's my...

  13. Director of Nursing Home Health Agency! HELP!

    nurseby07 replied to kwagner_51's topic in Home Health

    I'm curious what the experienced hh nurses have to say. I didn't know you could do HH without oasis, because I am so new. If I were you I would start studying it intensely on-line. Good luck, and...

  14. Director of Nursing Home Health Agency! HELP!

    nurseby07 replied to kwagner_51's topic in Home Health

    Have you done HH nursing or are you coming in

  15. On call? Funny phone calls.

    nurseby07 posted a topic in Home Health

    We have to be on call one night every two weeks or so. I've been up since 3 when I received a phone call from a woman who was very concerned about her husband's temperature. What is it? I asked 97.8...

  16. On call? Funny phone calls.

    nurseby07 replied to nurseby07's topic in Home Health

    I KNOW THAT GUY! We're on call 3x a month..I choose to break it up so I never have a Fri or Sat. But man, I HATE IT.. Last time the answering service called me in the middle of the night..I said...

  17. On call? Funny phone calls.

    nurseby07 replied to nurseby07's topic in Home Health

    I had to actually go out last night to put that foley in..that poor old man..his privates were swollen beyond belief, had I been in the hospital I would have called a urologist to put it in. My...

  18. On call? Funny phone calls.

    nurseby07 replied to nurseby07's topic in Home Health

    Well, I hope you bring your wipes so you can clean up anything that the patient has excreted all over the floor and walls. Bring your Flo Lantern to shine your

  19. On call? Funny phone calls.

    nurseby07 replied to nurseby07's topic in Home Health

    We're on call from 5pm-8am. The best call ever happened to me at 5:01..CG said that the catheter hadn't worked all day and that she talked to his nurse at noon who told her to call back at 5pm for the...

  20. OMG! why does everyone HATE NURSING!

    nurseby07 replied to twinjeep97's topic in General Nursing

    I've told my teenage sons that they can major in whatever they want to in college, as long as they have their nursing degrees first! Seriously though, I keep telling them that they can be nurses by...

  21. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    nurseby07 replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    HOLY COW! LOOKS LIKE THOSE A**WIPES JUST LOST AN AWESOME NURSE! Deep breath, move on, you have a new job to go to and a painful lesson learned. I am so so sorry for the anxiety that this is certainly...

  22. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    nurseby07 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    This is America, a lot of us "girls" take care of ourselves. Nails or no.. Unlikely as it may sound we don't need some guy to take an extra shift so we can dedicate ourselves to our men and get our...

  23. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    nurseby07 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sure. Just because he says he isn't comfortable with her bathing a naked man, doesn't mean he's abusive. I too have been in an abusive relationship so I'm not speaking blindly here. It was a...

  24. Calling out sick

    nurseby07 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in the hospital I was sick, either mentally or physically at least once a month. I am ashamed to admit it but we had pto, and resource pool to happily fill our spots. Night shift killed...

  25. Gustav Roll Call

    nurseby07 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Like Pagan, my heart has been sick too! I pray for all of you wonderful nurses (and everyone else) hanging in there, most with PTSD, going in for another round. If there were any place I would want to...
