    annie.rn replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    A colleague of mine did have DNR tattooed on his chest. I saw it myself. He must have done it before there were rules against it? Or it may have been done outside of a tattoo shop. It was pretty...

    annie.rn replied to mikethemurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    My husband is a pen collector, too. If he goes to a conference where freebie pens are given out, God help us all! He will come home with a BAG full. I hate it. I am an neat freak and whatever the...

    annie.rn replied to Girlafraid13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked with a nurse who was a smart, nice, fun person but boy, oh, boy, did she love to talk about her sex life! She did not hold back. She'd talk about it in a normal voice at the nurses station,...

    annie.rn replied to mikethemurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    annie.rn replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wish I could have come up with something but I always think of the perfect comeback about 10 mins. too late. Funny thing is he was a HORRIBLE surgeon w/ a sky high rate of complications. He lost...

    annie.rn replied to DatMurse's topic in Cardiac

  18. Question on reacting to tachycardic afib

    annie.rn replied to DatMurse's topic in Cardiac

    Glad that the patient's HR has come down with the Amioderone. You seem to be conscientious w/ a desire to learn and do what's best for your patients. With that said, concerning holding the...

  19. Biox vs. Pulse ox vs. whatever else?!

    annie.rn replied to AJcardiacRN's topic in General Nursing

    annie.rn replied to OnlyDreaming's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
