  1. You will all probably hate me for this

    NursesRmofun replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I am glad you said you are NOT using NETY...that topic always gets me giddy for some reason...and I have some silly responses to it. I guess because sometimes new nurses can be (NOT all....no,...

  2. You will all probably hate me for this

    NursesRmofun replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Everyone has their things that they like and those they don't, of course. I'm a less is more kind of person....unless it really is necessary for long "I am the expert on this" messages, those are...

  3. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    NursesRmofun replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel sorry for those that work in places like that. I worked in a place (that most of these typed things happened) that supported staff as long as they were doing and saying what was the right...

    NursesRmofun replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ouchie!!!

  5. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    NursesRmofun replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Saddest part is that the NM backed the patient on this exchange. I would have told the patient his behavior was unacceptable, unless he was

  6. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    NursesRmofun replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was told by a very wise instructor/professor once that we do not have to take abuse from lucid patients or family/friends. We can tell the patient or family, or even a MD, (as long as their needs...

  7. You will all probably hate me for this

    NursesRmofun replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    This is a public site and you will get all kinds of answers. The moderators try to put things back on track when they go awry but, you will get some blunt responses. My suggestion is ignoring the...

  8. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    NursesRmofun replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Racking my brain....hmmm.....I think someone may have said I was fat once or twice...and someone said I was dumb once or twice...but all were out of it and demented....so I just laughed and didn't...

  9. does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    NursesRmofun replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I think that there are a lot of nurses that don't like their job or hate it, but there are a lot of nurses that love their job too. Also, there is a difference between loving your job but hating...

  10. Call offs

    NursesRmofun replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed some areas say it is "call out" and some say, "call in". We said, "call in" in my part of NY (where I

  11. Call offs

    NursesRmofun replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes,....that's about what I remember was the general rule. I got a verbal once for having an average of one call off every 6 weeks during a certain period. She said I had a pattern. She was right. I...

  12. Has anyone else "sensed" when something was wrong with a patient?

    NursesRmofun replied to Norepinephrine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't wake up thinking something is wrong with a patient while I am at home, but I do have instincts that are not based on v/s or spoken complaints, etc. I think it was more being experienced, in...

  13. Call offs

    NursesRmofun replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    That stinks. I feel for you. I have had anywhere from 6 to 12 sick days a year, depending on the job. PTO is a little different...pooled vacation and sick together. I had ample most of the...

  14. G-tube pulled out by patient

    NursesRmofun replied to HelloRN00's topic in Rehabilitation

    OMG...is it wrong that I found this to be sooooo funny?....I was almost in tears laughing out loud. I was picturing this person holding the chest tube chamber like a football! Haven't laughed like...

  15. Death of a Dream

    NursesRmofun replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    You do have time. You may wish you could do it now, but you can do it in the future, if you want. I was an LPN for many years and then did go back to get my RN. At that point, I had almost given up on...

  16. Which was more stressful: nursing school or actually working as a RN?

    NursesRmofun replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    Not to take away from the stress of nursing school...but in nursing school, the stress is mainly your own butt. As a nurse, you are stressed for yourself AND your patients AND their families...it's a...

  17. Waiting in the ER & Heard This

    NursesRmofun replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Emergency

    She may not have liked what came after that, as someone else said,...if she allowed it...I had told the ER Doc I was a little short of breath one of my last ER visits and the ER Doc wanted to do an...

  18. How to eat on night shift

    NursesRmofun replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked 12 hr nights, 3 days one week and 4 days the next week rotating...I kept the meal schedule the same as for eating breakfast in the am.., lunch at lunch and dinner at dinnertime....

  19. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

    NursesRmofun replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a job I would hate. Actually, I am currently in a low level nursing position which is part-time, and my job description says they can add duties as they want....and they do. If it gets...

  21. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    NursesRmofun replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming this is true and giving you the benefit of the doubt, that is horrible. Why would you want to continue to work there? Yikes. I know we all need to feed ourselves....but I definitely would...

  22. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    NursesRmofun replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    This story jogged my memory about a co-worker from a while back. She was very pregnant and "sick" with I don't remember what and wouldn't write here her r/o diagnosis anyway, if I remembered it...but...

  24. Liking members at AN

    NursesRmofun replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I was pretty active on AN back in 2004 and prior but life changed and got busy and I was not around for a long while. I came back because I find I like AN more when I am working but probably not...

  25. Answer on what is your weakness is my answer ok?

    NursesRmofun replied to jamesethan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, this is a great topic because I often wonder what is a bad answer. I often say to questions phrased like this or similarly that I could use to have more patience at times. I say that because it...
