  1. Do you call your patients by first or last name?

    mdoze911nurse replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    It is really odd to me but here in the midwest most folks, nurses and others, address patients, customers, etc by their first names. I am 'old' but down home (Mississippi) you always address folks by...

  2. Faith Hill makes fun of nurses!

    mdoze911nurse replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    It amuses me that everyone is concerned about comments made about our profession. First off, we all tend to have an opinion one way or the other about folks in the entertainment industry which is fine...

  3. Bad Experience Traveling! Help

    mdoze911nurse posted a topic in Travel

    I am having a bad experience. I am in a large hospital that is way understaffed. Patients in the hallway (not seen) for hours and hours. Then when they get to the back there in too few nurses, no...

  4. A question from a newbie

    mdoze911nurse replied to adiliegro's topic in General Nursing

    Call your state board of nursing and tell them what it is, they can tell you. Usually, if it is not a crime against a person, I have heard they are pretty lenient as long as you tell them. Best bet is...

  5. Would they really toss me out of school for failing one test???

    mdoze911nurse replied to Worthy's topic in General Nursing

    Forget all of the dosage calculation books. Find you a Dimensional Analysis book. It is a workbook that is so simple you can teach it to yourself and when you are finished you can do any calculation...

  6. Jay Leno slams nurses!

    mdoze911nurse replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    I am not really a Leno fan but it's kind of like cops eating donuts or sailors swabbing decks. I'm a nurse married to a cop who was a sailor for 23 years. We get a lot of jokes. When he was on ships...

  7. Bad Experience Traveling! Help

    mdoze911nurse replied to mdoze911nurse's topic in Travel

    They told me that it was busy (well, that's okay), they said 2 - 3 patients, 4 max but usually 2/1. That is okay, however, 4 ICU pts is just too much. Everyone's response is "we know, we are all in...

  8. American Traveler??? Advice? Good/Bad

    mdoze911nurse replied to anxiousninny's topic in Travel

    My experience with the company, American Traveler, has been good. However, I am having a horrible time at the hospital and no one(at AT) seems to do anything about it. This hospital is dangerous....

  9. Evacuation of New Orleans hospital...(link to article inside)

    mdoze911nurse replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard for people who have never lived in that part of the country to understand but a hurricane may be coming straight for you and then go left or right. If they had chosen to leave earlier and...

  10. does working in ER make you want motorcylehelmets mandatory

    mdoze911nurse replied to chicagrl72's topic in Emergency

    Just another thought: Everyone seems to agree that children should be mandated to wear helmets, but some feel very strongly that adults should make up their own minds about helmets and such. Children...

    mdoze911nurse replied to chicagrl72's topic in Emergency

    i understand your points, however, there is activity to stop paying for smoke related illness and those who smoke (not i) are paying in increased premiums, etc. however, we started out discussing...

  12. Lost my first patient.

    mdoze911nurse replied to nurseinmo's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear about your experience. I hope after you sleep on it you are not so overwhelmed. LTC has got to be hard when you have so many patients and one you. You've done the right thing by...
