  1. Day sleepers..........

    HuggyPuglet replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I bought a big sheet of that stiff foam (you see it used in ceilings sometimes for tile) cut it to fit my window and slide it in. That, then close my miniblinds, and it works great. Good luck!...

  2. Workload split between RNs/CNAs

    HuggyPuglet replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I see where you are coming from (unfortunately). I am a nurse, and I've seen other RNs where I work do the same thing, as if they can't be bothered with such "menial" tasks as a simple bedpan or...

  3. BSN vs ADN Education?????

    HuggyPuglet replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. The line has been drawn literally for decades! Unfortunately, while everyone debates this issue, some of the more critical issues such as staffing, and shortages of same, nurse...

  4. 12 hr. shifts vs. 8 hr. shifts.

    HuggyPuglet replied to jamerss's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've worked them both. I much prefer 12 hour shifts. Yes, they are tough when you're doing them but the extra time off really makes a difference. Just depends on what you prefer really but here's my 2...

  5. License on the way!!!

    HuggyPuglet replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations Barefoot! I'm an Ohio nurse who moved on to WV (don't ask me why, I can't figure it out myself). Good luck to you!

  6. Poll: "Do Not Use List" of abbreviations

    HuggyPuglet replied to soontobe_RN's topic in General Nursing

    No, I have not directly seen any case just because of a doctor or nurse using the prohibited abbreviations. I have seen many problems with illegible or confusing abbreviations, notes, or conflicting...

  7. My patient fired me!

    HuggyPuglet replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    Having had chickenpox as an adult, I'd say you were right on the money with that

  8. Apricot Seed Kernals and effects

    HuggyPuglet replied to schoona's topic in Emergency

    After reading your post my curiosity got the best of me and I did some browsing on the web searching for apricot seeds or kernels. I was amazed to see all the sites that offer them and tout their...

  9. Generation gap and attitudes towards work - hurting patients?

    HuggyPuglet replied to pebbles's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree! When I was in school (even though it was a long time ago) this behavior would not have been tolerated! Where are your instructors?! I'd have serious concerns over the school you attend and...

  10. My patient fired me!

    HuggyPuglet replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes, I remember we had a patient like that! She was in a VIP room and would stay up all night, night after night, and keep us all hopping over the smallest things even during the busiest of times -...

  11. My patient fired me!

    HuggyPuglet replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry about it. She may be expressing frustration or attempting to get control over her situation. She could've just focused on the foley as a potential problem even though you reassured her....

  12. Nursing Student Uniforms??

    HuggyPuglet replied to lexy3227's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Now that's a "visual" I really don't want to have! YIKES!

  13. I bought a Littmann off Ebay...is it fake?

    HuggyPuglet replied to sydie's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't look like a Littman to

  14. This is why I rarely go in for physicals...

    HuggyPuglet replied to jkaee's topic in General Nursing

    What an unadulterated pile of .... well you know. Obviously she NEVER would have made being a doctor - I mean, "first, do no harm"!!! I've been thru the same thing as you with physicians and NPs who...

  15. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    HuggyPuglet replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    IMHO, I think the 'rub' will be that the husband was asked to

  16. Transfer of License

    HuggyPuglet replied to ShortyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Don't be intimidated. It was pretty easy for me, and only took about 2 weeks. Costly

  17. To all London nurses.

    HuggyPuglet replied to Judee Smudee's topic in General Nursing

    Our thought and prayers are with you during this trying time. Please take good care of yourselves ... wish we could be there to help out.

  18. Am I too old

    HuggyPuglet replied to fiandcamie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't worry! I was nervous too after returning to school after 15 years! What I found was that I was learning things that were interesting to me and that I wanted to learn, and that made all the...

  19. Am I too old

    HuggyPuglet replied to fiandcamie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I certainly HOPE you are not too old. I'm much older than you are, 58, and returning to the profession after many years! :chuckle I went to nursing school at age 33 and the age differential in our...
