  1. The Mockery of Nursing

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ohhhh! Ha. My children's nicknames are "Biscuits" and "Peep". My daughter knows "Where's Peep?" Easier than when we ask where she is by her actual name! "Where's Peep?" (Toothy, drooly grin, points...

  2. The Mockery of Nursing

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  3. It's All YOU Baby!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the World Famous Medical Center might just be in my state of residence! Maybe I'm wrong...I recall learning in nursing school that this particular medical center/system has an IV team, a foley...

  4. The Mockery of Nursing

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    WHERE is this "don't give up your dreams kiddo you're gonna make it to Broadway" post?!! I gotta see it! I just gotta! And then I'm gonna jazz hands everywhere I go at work- down halls, into patients...

  5. What disorders did you diagnose yourself with in Nursing School?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    It was my son I diagnosed with everything. When he was around, gosh, maybe 10 or 11 months he was in for a fever of unknown origin (so of course I was SURE it was leukemia...no toddler runs a 102...

  6. Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in 2010 with my ADN. I wish we had learned more time management- I think we only had a max of 2-3 patients by the very end. I recall a few of the nurses in my clinical group spent time...

  7. Caring for students

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Beth1980's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above poster- recall your time as a student. However, you may also find that when you become a working RN that you see things from the perspective of the nurses that may seem crabby....

  8. How easy is it to lose your nursing license?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Ted D's topic in Nursing Career

    How the heck did she manage to do that? Wasn't there a Pyxsis? I know not every facility has one, but at our hospital we can't give a med that isn't prescribed unless we override some weird fangled...

  9. SAD mindset of "future nurses" *sigh*

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to sj73201's topic in General Nursing

    As for miss too-good-for- butt-wiping; wow. Good luck with all of that. I'm interested to see how peds works out for her. Maybe it's that I'm tired and crabby right now but she sounds like the type...

  10. SAD mindset of "future nurses" *sigh*

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to sj73201's topic in General Nursing

    HEHEHE! I don't doubt it (what you're saying)- but it makes me laugh because for the last month or three my daughter who is almost 15 months is in that stage where she will not for the life of her or...

  11. BP medication "food chain"

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in Patient Medications

    You'd think I would know this by now, since I've worked on a tele unit for almost a year- but hey better late than never to ask, right? We seem to be running a special on people admitted with...

  12. Go for it or wait until I have my review?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hiya. It's me again. I have another (possibly silly) question. I took a looksee at the internal positions open at my hospital, and there is one open in postpartum. This is the kind of area I want to...

  13. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To the PCA's on my floor on my shift: I love you. You guys rock my chocolate world. To one particular PCA: I lub you...but lovey, you're not the nurse. Trust me, I know what I'm assessing...her BP...

  14. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, gee- if wifey says not to disturb you then I guess I won't lay a hand on you to assess. After all, you just have a mystery pneumonia- nothing serious. I'm sure you were trying to have sex and I...

  15. To place pneumonia patients on Iso or not?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to SunshineAnytime's topic in General Nursing

    I think if we put our pneumonia patients on iso, just about every patient on my floor would be on iso! Not to mention, in addition to our contact patients for MRSA and VRE and our Enteric iso patients...

  16. Bad Clinical Experiences - Little to no hands-on

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is a problem I see with many LPN programs too- for our RN program we had a REAL hard time getting placed for our externship. Many didn't get to go to their first choice hospital- I was lucky...

  17. In need of a serious butt whoopin I am.

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I actually didn't talk to my co-workers, my dad said it in passing. I was talking (whining) about how unfair it is to make me rate myself because it puts me on the spot. To which he said "I don't know...

  18. In need of a serious butt whoopin I am.

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm coming up to my one year performance review. I had to rate myself on different things, performance wise, Excellent, Above Average, Satisfactory, Needs Improvement, Unacceptable. It was hard...

  19. skirts

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to nightshiftnut's topic in General Nursing

    I wear skirts outside of work for religious reasons (no particular denomination, but if I HAD to label myself it would be Mennonite) I have yet to find scrub skirts in my neck of the woods, so I just...

  20. Written up for false documentation...

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow, every post I read from you makes me want to run to my manager and kiss her feet and thank her profusely for hiring me. I'm so sorry you work in such a heckhole of a job. It sounds like this place...

  21. disorder eating and going on the pill

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to meglet's topic in General Nursing

    This is coming from someone who has had an eating disorder for 16 years- been in treatment for 2, doing well (having a daughter is good for that). What I mean to say is A) you need to get treatment...

  22. Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and once you do land your dream (eeeeayym) job, please don't screw it all up by doing the following: Instantly deciding the charge nurse hates you and has it in for you Making 12 med errors in one...

  23. Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I think the attitude the OP is describing is not limited to nursing students only- it's sort of the mindset that the younger generation has gotten spoon-fed since they were babies. I just actually...

  24. Dear Cardiac...um, we need to talk...about us...

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    First, let me profusely apologize if this is one of those questions that are asked to death- I'll probably go back and do a search for topics of the same nature (ok, I should have done that FIRST, but...

  25. Dear Cardiac...um, we need to talk...about us...

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know not to talk to my manager beforehand, it's more a matter of when the time comes- after I apply, and after I would hypothetically get offered a position. Then what do I
