    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    ReadyToListen replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    That's never true at my hospital except for one particular unit! The nurse managers answer all the call lights between themselves and the staff member they are looking for! Helps that they're the ones...

    ReadyToListen replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Facebook nurses and patients

    ReadyToListen replied to Annaleemabey's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    ReadyToListen replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I've only worked in the ER a very short time but I still think this one is funny. City behavioral health facility sends pt to ER for hypertension, refusing to eat, refusing meds, potential self harm,...

    ReadyToListen replied to ixchel's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am unit clerk right now and I average 5-6 miles in a 12 hour day. My highest ever so far is 6.37. I was hoping that the shift where I spent no less than one hour walking every square inch of four...

    How do you go back?

    ReadyToListen replied to ReadyToListen's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Good advice, thanks! I can't imagine doing nights, I'd never survive I guess that's why the ER has a Keurig, hopefully the floors will get some? I hadn't thought of leaving the house just to get...
