  1. Which Nurse are You?

    Guest856929 posted a topic in General Nursing

    1. Aspiring Alice: the nurse who is focused on climbing the ladder, either by advancement of education, or shining shoes for the powers-that-be. 2. Bitter Betty: the nurse who is regularly...

  2. The 7 Day Metamorphosis of an Attention-Seeking Newly-Minted Nurse

    Guest856929 posted a topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Day 1: OMG! I just took the NCLEX today and I think I failed. I’m only here for reassurance from strangers so that I feel good. What’s an easy way of finding out my results? I’ve heard about...

  3. The 7 Day Metamorphosis of an Attention-Seeking Newly-Minted Nurse

    Guest856929 replied to Guest856929's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Well, the thread has found its rightful place. Thanks. I vehemently disagree with the bashing assertion however. Try,

  4. Which Nurse are You?

    Guest856929 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    Kinky Kim is also loosely based on the amalgamation of two characters. One had the odd habit of grabbing and squeezing some of the male RNs in the butt then laughing about it. This was before the...

  5. Tips to improve morale

    Guest856929 replied to travellingnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    That is a good example of patching holes on the worn out denim, when you need a new pair. If the underlying cause of lack of morale is understaffing and high turnover, it would be an insult to any...

  6. Non Clinical Positions For New Grads

    Guest856929 replied to Prosper2018's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you moaning and groaning about the possibility of strangers moaning and groaning? JK. I know you are not trolling. I, for one appreciate your unique post. I haven't seen anything like it here...

  7. COVID Faces

    Guest856929 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hahaha! she caught me staring squarely at the goatee. She then said: "I know, this hospital coffee is as good as urine, ugh!" I couldn't hold my laughter and I tried very hard. I nearly spat my...

  8. COVID Faces

    Guest856929 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LOL! Yes, it is weird to work with people who you have never seen their faces before. One day I had my mask off in the lunch room and one of the managers looked at me with a surprised look and said,...

  9. COVID Faces

    Guest856929 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I saw a lady coworker take her mask down to sip coffee and she had a goatee that I had never seen before. I seriously thought I was

  10. Which Nurse are You?

    Guest856929 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    Most welcome. I’m glad you transitioned from your former self. Though I’m irreligious and hold divergent views regarding anthropomorphic deities, I respect your premise and shared sentiments. Stay...

  11. Which Nurse are You?

    Guest856929 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    Sending you virtual warm hugs. I have a tough shell, but something about your post made me a bit emotional (rare occurrence). I don't know why, but your post touched me in a positive way. Keep being...

  12. Which Nurse are You?

    Guest856929 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    Yellow-sleeve Yvonne is also based on a real character. Hardworking, beautiful, and innocent, I remember her starting in the unit. Her rooms were the neatest and her patients were the cleanest. In an...

  13. When One Patient Affects the Care Other Patients Receive

    Guest856929 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. This is the precise crux of my contention. If I ain't growing, I ain't staying. A wise man once said: 'if you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room'. Though I hold...

  14. When One Patient Affects the Care Other Patients Receive

    Guest856929 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Hehe fair enough. You raised valid assertions and I will concede to your point about perception. I did transition fairly smoothly to acute care, thanks to the SNF/LTC time management experience and...

  15. Nurse Trapped in Deadly Texas Pileup Crawled Out Car Trunk and Reported to Work

    Guest856929 replied to Workitinurfava's topic in General Nursing

    At the minimum, I would go home, turn the news and open a beer. Not going to work is a foregone conclusion if my car is totaled in a pile-up. All nurses are replaceable and disposable. If you’re not...

  16. When One Patient Affects the Care Other Patients Receive

    Guest856929 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I respect your premise. I think your interests are in the right place. You have had the privilege of testing the waters in other settings which is what I would encourage most new nurses to do....

  17. When One Patient Affects the Care Other Patients Receive

    Guest856929 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, perhaps not total waste, but in the grand scheme of things, LTC was indeed a heap of rubbish in retrospect. I am one to look for learning opportunities and advancement of the self in all aspects...

  18. When One Patient Affects the Care Other Patients Receive

    Guest856929 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent feedback from various responders. I'm only going to add/encourage that you should consider leaving LTC, especially considering that you have a BSN. Career-wise and overall growth, few good...

  19. Which Nurse are You?

    Guest856929 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    Ubiquitous Usher is based on a real character too. He was paying child support for 5 kids under 16 with 4 baby mamas. Poor guy was quite depressed. He made the most money of all nurses in the unit,...

  20. Which Nurse are You?

    Guest856929 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    Sarcastic Sue is definitely my favorite kind of nurse, the older the better. IDK how I left her out. I had one when I was a new nurse. Everyone had told me the entire week, wait until you meet...

  21. Caption This!

    Guest856929 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    hehe! A wise man recently told me to be cautious of being relegated to oblivion -the breakroom abyss. Nice to see you preaching and drinking water. LOL.

    I edited it to fit the context of discussion ? Nixon was inadvertently

  23. Which Nurse are You?

    Guest856929 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    https://www.liveabout.com/richard-nixon-quotes-2733879 You made me look up Nixon quotes. He was quite a character. "All nurses is a good place to productively waste time" -Sour Lemon. As such,...

    Hahaha! I know One-Upper Opal quite well. During report: hey Opal, the patient's blood sugar was 34. We did xyz, and his last 3 consecutive sugars have stabilized. Opal: Lemme tell you Cyn, yesterday...
