    Remember why you became a nurse...

    nursel56 replied to 2bNurseynursenurse1's topic in General Nursing

    What can I do to these scrub stains? Help Me!!!!

    nursel56 replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yes, it matters. Chlorine bleach tends to turn polyester yellow, and the synthetic fibers don't handle heat very well. Hopefully it's a blend of mostly cotton with just enough poly to make it "no...

    Great post, thank you for sharing your growth process with us. You sound like the kind of employee/coworker I would love to work

    Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    nursel56 replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    This is a vent, but it still provides useful information and proves again how fluid the nursing employment market is. Not long ago the answer to the "does CNA experience count" question would've...

    Studying nursing theory, came across Jean Watson

    Algebra_Demystified - People so rarely provide updates, especially those that are as eloquent and thoughtful as yours is. I posted in another thread I believe people primarily relate to other human...

    Update

    nursel56 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the update. At least she used the incident to reflect on her life situation instead of maintaining the defensive and obfuscating behavior she showed the day you were able to hear her...

    RN vs LPN

    nursel56 replied to Melpomene's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    She just sounds like a difficult person. You'll find them in all walks of life. To my knowledge, nursing school doesn't teach some people to be obnoxious and some to be wonderful. Since you are...

    Unappreciated by the patient's family

    nursel56 replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I learned the hard way that even those who seem to appreciate what you do will ***** you over just as easily. I say that without any bitterness at all. They are solely focussed on the moment and...

    New neighbor slipped through the cracks. What do I do?

    nursel56 replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Nursing

    How sweet of you to take an interest. I had a neighbor a bit like that, too. He had a small army of people who wanted to "help". Even if it was politely accepted I found out after a while he just...

    Do you have to bring your own glove supply to work?

    nursel56 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Private Duty

    Gloves are generally sent out with other supplies like Foley trays and trach care sets, but not in huge amounts (2boxes/mo). Many of the nurses and HHAs would reuse the same pair for clean...

    Changing practice for experienced nurses

    nursel56 replied to gfoster6993's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Most experienced nurses manage to stay on top of current evidence based practices. I find the idea that your instructor assumes you need to teach experienced nurses to be

    I Love being a Christian Nurse

    nursel56 replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Vespertinas, I haven't objected to the OP's post at all. As I said in my other post here, the tone of it makes me wonder if she hasn't read some of the other posts around recently. If she is simply...

    I Love being a Christian Nurse

    nursel56 replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Actually, the mercy and grace reference you used referred to Christians. You're just superior enough to have eternal life while everybody else burns in hell, that's all. I wondered why you wrote...

    Finally a Nurse Manager That Does NOT Tolerate Nurses Eating Their Young

    nursel56 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Word! :) So much better than the stick approach, because the stick is just so much easier than striving to be what we want to see in others. For the most part I've been very blessed with that type...

    I Love being a Christian Nurse

    nursel56 replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Not sure how you're drawing a distinction anywhere. Are you saying Christian nurses are just better than everyone else at that? If not, why mention it at

    I Love being a Christian Nurse

    nursel56 replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Maybe the OP was responding to some of the posts in different threads referring to the frequent mentions of giving God the glory for passing tests, etc. It has a somewhat unusual tone without that...

    I love being a Satanist nurse.

    nursel56 replied to canoehead's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I wasn't aware of the context regarding other religions here so I responded to it as a "stand alone" subject. updated: I see. There was a staff directive on the other thread for people who wanted...

    Do you think I could get kicked out?

    nursel56 replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My advice would be to be sincere and end it there when you meet with them. If they pursue it further give another version of that theme. Avoid even the appearance of excuse-making. Don't say that....

    Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    nursel56 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    New nurses who believe they know all there is to know because they earned straight As and passed the NCLEX in 75 questions scare people because nobody who is brand new knows all there is to know. The...

    What can I do to these scrub stains? Help Me!!!!

    nursel56 replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If your white clothes are mostly cotton they can tolerate chlorine bleach. You can even make a solution with a higher amount of it than you would use to do a whole load of wash if the stain is...
