    i agree with the other posters. our unit had a similar incident like that but one of the rpn's was emotionally hurt. really, work is the last place you'd expect to be hit by a co-worker. but your...

  2. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    nurse_clown replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    That one is very sad. Must have made your hear jump in your throat. But it's still very sad. It's hard to see the sad stories of spirits looking for things. Especially, a young spirit. I used to...

  3. Drug Users in the hospital

    nurse_clown replied to Ready's topic in General Nursing

    As I've posted before, I hurt my back once. I was sent home with a Rx for Percocet. It took the pain away. I realized one day that it made me just a little too happy. At work a lot of the...

  4. Was I justified in writing up Nursing Assistant?

    nurse_clown replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    You know, since you put it that way, I agree. I generally try and be a team player. That word "regimented" just makes the hair on my neck stand up. I didn't mean "putting them in their place" by...

  5. Nurses who smoke - I'm a smoker

    nurse_clown replied to DanaS's topic in General Nursing

    Did you injure yourself at work? I did about a month ago. Incorrect body mechanics and laziness was the culprit. It also didn't help that the patient turned suddenly which threw my back out. But I...

  6. Nurses who smoke - I'm a smoker

    nurse_clown replied to DanaS's topic in General Nursing

    Does the nicoderm patch work? Does anyone know the best method to quit? I'd really like to help my pack a day smoking hubby. I'm sure he'd love to quit too. I smoke too every now and then because...

  7. What is the worst thing you've witnessed as an oncology nurse?

    nurse_clown replied to Chibi Baka's topic in Oncology

    I've been an oncology/palliative care nurse for about a year. The worst thing for me to see is patients who are dying alone. There was a 51 year old man who had lung cancer. No one came to visit...

  8. Nurses who smoke - I'm a smoker

    nurse_clown replied to DanaS's topic in General Nursing

    whoever said nurses were perfect? I drink a lot of coffee. That's an addiction too. But it's alright, isn't it? Nobody says anything about that. It does look funny to see a nurse standing outside...

  9. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    nurse_clown replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    My dad's a doctor. My mom was a university art professor. My sis is a midwife. They've all excelled at whatever they did. Me, I grew up with my head in the clouds. I never really got marks as good...

  10. Was I justified in writing up Nursing Assistant?

    nurse_clown replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I think the fact that he lied deserves to be written up. Also you said this wasn't the first time he's done this. He's also bossy and uses bully tactics to get his way. Unfortunately the...

    nurse_clown posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was diagnosed with ADD and dyslexia when I was in my third year of nursing school. My parents told me I might have to settle being a cleaning lady. I wouldn't and graduated. I've been in the...
