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

    Thimbalina replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So I heard there was a possible 3rd victim who was just raced to the ER in Dallas from an Urgent Care with all the s/s of Ebola. The plot thickens… it was the Deputy that secured the

  3. Don't be Judgmental!

    Thimbalina replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's kind of funny how we are to be 'not judgmental' and also exercise good judgment all at the same time. lol. Seriously though, I think that nursing has made me less 'judgmental' instead of more so....

  4. Oooh Ick! Has this happened to you?

    Thimbalina replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    My step mother had hip surgery… I hadn't seen her in a while after my dad died. I was visiting her and she asked me if I wanted to see it (her surgical site) and thinking she would delicately pull...

  5. Religion and nursing school

    Thimbalina replied to natmanzo's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I worked for a while at a Christian hospital… we would have to have a little devotional and prayer before report. Looking back, that was very nice. We prayed for our patients and the shift. It was...

  6. Warning----Fashionista in the House

    Thimbalina replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I did work with a nurse once who had to work 2 full time jobs to keep up with her spending habits. She refused to wear scrub tops. She came to work in silk shirts from Nordstrom even though she was an...

  7. Warning----Fashionista in the House

    Thimbalina replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Ok. I lost wt before my surgery so I wouldn't have all that fat hanging out when I was naked and unconscious on the table. LOL. When I had my first baby, as soon as I got back to my room after I...

    Oh my gosh! What a scary situation. I'm sorry you went through that. I was thinking about home health but I gotta say, that makes me not want to AT

  10. Out of control visitors

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

    "I am neither a nurse nor a parent, so feel free to educate me" Go to nursing school. Have a baby. Then, have an incredibly bad day at work and write about it to complete strangers on an anonymous...

  11. Out of control visitors

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

    I don't blame you for being 'done'. Go take a hot bath and take care of yourself. It doesn't matter what complete strangers say or think.. forget about

  12. Out of control visitors

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

    Sigh… it's so hard to raise kids… everyone thinks they are an expert. Kids need love AND forgiveness because they aren't 'done' when they're 5 or 7 or 10 or even 18… We all just need a little...

  13. Out of control visitors

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

    My friend has 11 kids. They are all so well mannered. Her house is always clean. She bakes bread, cans jam, raises chickens and goats. It is NOT easy especially since a couple have special needs...

    Thimbalina replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Morasks, do you work in a hospital? Have you ever worked in a hospital? or on a telemetry unit? 'Private' rooms in a hospital are not that private. In fact, a new hospital here in this area has put in...

  16. Male patient refuses Female Nurse

    Thimbalina replied to Pointofcareanalyst's topic in Men in Nursing

    Sounds like reverse discrimination. You should have made a formal complaint for so many reasons including the unprofessional language of the nurse. You certainly do have rights. However, I've seen it...

  17. "Baby Led Weaning"??

    Thimbalina replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Pediatric

    Those 'experts' might find themselves on the wrong side of a lawsuit when a baby chokes to death on their advice. Super sad. All I can say is 'Thank GOD my dil didn't find that website'.

  18. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    Thimbalina replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A private room in a hospital is not the same as a private hotel room and with telemetry you darn well better expect a fast visit from your nurse if you go flat lining for no good reason. Isn't that...

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

    In that big river in Eygpt. De Nile! I really don't think people can get a clue until they actually see it in real life. Since our society as a whole is in denial and sterilized the death and dying...

    Thimbalina replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    Thimbalina replied to Nurse24abc's topic in School

    I did the same thing… and I'm also wondering if I too am crazy. So if you find out (are we crazy?) let me know. I'm hoping to also find a per diem hospital jobs. They said they are going to start...

  24. Medical Assistants being called nurses

    Thimbalina replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A few years back a woman ran for office as a 'nurse' and after she was elected it was discovered she was an MA… Everyone was mad as heck but apparently 'nurse' is a broader term than LVN or RN. She...

    Thimbalina replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While you can choose to go to a birthing center, if there is a problem you will be transferred for a higher level of care. They still have protocols to
