  1. Blog from the front lines in Liberia

    Thimbalina posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I started reading this blog... it is heart wrenching. I haven't finished reading but thought you all would be interested in hearing in first person from a doctor with boots on the ground about how...

  2. My patient dropped her baby!

    Thimbalina replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good grief. You'll get in more trouble not leaving babies with mom. How can anyone supervise 7 mom's at once.

  3. "I hit my ear"

    Thimbalina replied to fetch's topic in School

    Rub a little dirt on it and you're good to

  4. "I need to eat, I'm a diabetic!"

    Thimbalina replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I got in trouble once for giving away too many sandwiches. As they said 'There are only so many and they have to last all night'. I cooled it a bit after that and explained to the family members that...

  5. "I need to eat, I'm a diabetic!"

    Thimbalina replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll never forget giving a guy a sandwich who had just been cleared after a car accident (trauma). He was so happy with the sandwich he got teary… it was a young guy. He was so hungry. I love giving...

  6. A Veteran's Day Tribute from a VA Nurse

    Thimbalina replied to dantheman0904's topic in General Nursing

    That is truly amazing. When my father in law passed. We had a service at Rosecrans which is a military cemetery. I was unprepared for the honor given him in the military service. I had never...

  7. Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    Thimbalina replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    These are interesting thoughts… I have someone close to me who is in the arts (modern dancer). She does the 'go fund me' things to raise money for her shows which are small and she doesn't have the...

  8. Camp nursing with your child

    Thimbalina replied to adpiRN's topic in Camp

    When my kids were young, and ready for camp (they are adults now so it's been a while) I volunteered for a week at a time… they went different weeks. So, I was basically the back up nurse and was...

  9. Can I renegotiate after accepting offer?

    Thimbalina replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's good. I see a lot of positions for NP positions and I think there will be more and more positions available in the future. You have a great attitude and you will gain good experience which will...

  10. Is this normal?

    Thimbalina replied to pixie&pepper's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Run. Sounds like a very unprofessional

  11. Can I renegotiate after accepting offer?

    Thimbalina replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have had several nurse friends get their NP only to go back to bedside nursing because the pay was so much worse. They had a completely different deal with the hospital and were contracted under the...

  12. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    Thimbalina replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nina looked GREAT yesterday! I am amazed that she and Amber have recovered so quickly. Thank

  13. Amber Vinson has obtained a high power attorney

    Thimbalina replied to chadrn65's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Kick Ass Amber. Just kick

  14. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    Thimbalina replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would as long as I had a hazmat suit with a respirator… and a buddy to spot me… and I didn't have any other patients. I think nurses should get a giant bonus though for putting their lives on...

  15. Fearbola: Irrational Fear Now Sweeping U.S.

    Thimbalina replied to mariebailey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This came out on Oct 5. Super

  16. Confusion in terms CAN be funny!

    Thimbalina replied to RNsRWe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's sooo funny! He should be appointed the Eboli Czar!!! That would be a funny Saturday Night Live skit except that only the medical professionals would get the

  17. Fearbola: Irrational Fear Now Sweeping U.S.

    Thimbalina replied to mariebailey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You know how we say that 'you can't make these things up?' and how when you're at work in the middle of the stupidest craziest fiascos… you turn to your co worker and say…'no one would believe...

  18. NEW EBOLA CSZAR Ron Klain

    Thimbalina replied to luv2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And this is exactly why he is a poor choice because Ebola is a public health concern, not a political platform. There needs to be someone who actually knows something about Ebola if they are going to...

  19. Blog from the front lines in Liberia

    Thimbalina replied to Thimbalina's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was a bit shocked by some of what I read especially how he is not treating Ebola, but trying to isolate his hospital from the other Ebola cases yet finding himself exposed. This would never fly in...

  20. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    Thimbalina replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "So far only 130 out of the 800 volunteers have been vetted for suitability, and 120 of those have been approved. They will then still need two weeks of training in the UK followed by more “live”...

  21. Fearbola: Irrational Fear Now Sweeping U.S.

    Thimbalina replied to mariebailey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree to some degree. I think what the nurses here are concerned about is possibility of it showing up in their hospital knowing that their hospital would handle it equally badly… The CDC sent out...

  22. What to do about a low ball job offer

    Thimbalina replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    It's easier to get a job while you have a

  23. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    Thimbalina replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thinking of you both and praying that you will beat this terrible disease. Thank you for your dedicated service in caring for someone with Ebola while not being provided adequate protection. Stay...

  24. New Ebola Czar

    Thimbalina posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why hire a doctor when you can hire a LAWYER!!?????? Seriously? Are you kidding me? What is he going to do? Manage the political fallout. That's his job. He was hired to find other people to blame....

  25. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    Thimbalina replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation
