    BON being questioned

    LittleTwinStars replied to rnpatrick's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Any state that has the yee-haw "tough on crime" mindset loves cracking down on nurses by using the slippery slope argument of the killer neurosurgeon in Dallas. They don't see how toxic and petty most...

    Entitled Nurses

    LittleTwinStars replied to Kate_Peds's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Florence Nightingale herself said, "The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower." Empty...

    Best 3/4 Sleeve Shirts For Under Scrubs!

    LittleTwinStars posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I need to wear 3/4 sleeve shirts under my scrubs, as I get cold easily and I don't like rolled up long sleeves falling down. Over a decade ago, I bought a bunch of 3/4 sleeve boatneck knit tops from...

    LittleTwinStars posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Growth Opportunities at a Small Hospital?

    LittleTwinStars posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just started an ICU job at a small hospital in the suburbs. My previous job wasn't TSICU, but definitely acute with lots of sepsis and withdrawal cases that taught me to think on my feet. In my new...

    Hunter Green, Stretchy, Bilateral Cargo Pocket Scrubs?

    LittleTwinStars posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My new job requires hunter green scrubs, which already kind of limits brands available. My favorite scrub line (Radiance Flex) does not carry this color, can only be found in a few stores, and is...

    Pre-employment drug testing; urine vs hair

    LittleTwinStars replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been hair tested, and I think it's only done to confirm a history. I've only done urine. From what I've heard about hair, they pull out a hair rather than cut off a chunk. Don't worry, and...

    What do you think? My mother is told she is a drug addict by her primary care physician

    LittleTwinStars replied to lhome's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, what a privileged jerk. I don't usually wish pain on others, but I think that people like that could use a bout of kidney stones, a back labor, a broken bone, a throbbing back muscle sprain, etc....

    Anyone ever have to give report to that one nurse who's grouchy all the time?

    LittleTwinStars replied to Littleguccipiggy's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My rules of report time: 1) If you are being unbearably rude, then I won't take or give report until you are able to act civilly. I can wait. 2) If I am giving you report, please don't constantly...

    LittleTwinStars replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

    Highest was in the 7s. She was a dialysis patient in her early 40s who really had no other issues than the fact that her body destroyed its kidneys. She was perfectly fine, chatting, laughing,...

    LittleTwinStars replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    1) Grisi brand Sulfur Soap/Azufre Jabon. This particular has sulfur and lanolin, other sulfur soaps can have ingredients like salicylic acid, but I've found this to be the best for my acne prone, body...

    What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    LittleTwinStars replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been told that before, and in my head, I say, "Yeah, I'm going to be a 'mean mom' in order to ensure that they don't become nasty, selfish brats like you." Thank goodness that cartoon-style...

    Oh, I know that there will always be people scrying my charting, not just PIs. What tripped me up was that the legal nurse consultant told me that I might be followed IN PERSON by a PI. I know that...

    I'm not usually superstitious, but I totally believe that full moons equal insanity, and the the S and Q words should never be uttered. The last two days have been insane, even for a place with lots...
