1. CNA=Poop cleaner?!

   Tex. replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in CNA/MA

   I agree, we don't just clean poop. For for many of us, especially those of us who don't have PCAs or CNAs, poop (and what I really mean is DIAHRRHEA) is not just a daily occurrence, it is a problem. The inventor of the FlexiSeal should get a prize. ...

2. Got hit on by a patient and it wasn't a granny.

   Tex. replied to TheNGTKingRN's topic in Humor

   And my granny would probably most enjoy someone who wears a shirt that says "does laundry" or "likes to rake the leaves" 😎

3. Allergic to my job?

   Tex. replied to Hopeful1003's topic in General Nursing

   Not helpful, but I just can't help myself...your title. I love it. Allergic to my job. After today, in my best Beavis & Butthead voice...I think I might be allergic. To my job. Too.

   To the Nightmare Family I've had the last FOUR days: There is so much love in this room, and your amazing Dad is lucky to be surrounded by so much love. But DUUUUDE...I'm so over this day...this week. I accepted a job in the ER, and today you had me...

   I don't think risk for infection works, since he may actually have an infection, not be at risk for it.

8. What do you eat in the morning?

   Tex. replied to turnforthenurse's topic in General Nursing

   I am not hungry until I've been awake for hours. I have an hour drive in, so I drink my coffee for the first 30 mins or so, then force down a protein shake before I pull into work. If I'm nauseous (often, because I'm exhausted) then I wait till I get...

10. Assignment to do concept map

    Tex. replied to charles101's topic in Student Assist

    Concept maps are the most very basic, simple form of a care plan. Pick something real, something you can DO something about now, if that makes sense. Like pain. Or constipation. Because you have a patient, and he is your patient because he already ...

11. Care Plan HELP!

    Tex. replied to 3rdshift098's topic in Student Assist

12. How often did YOU see the school nurse?

    Tex. replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    LOTS in elementary school, mostly because I just wanted to go home. I was THAT kid who would take out the thermometer (olden days when we used glass thermometers) and put in under her desk lamp to fake a fever so she would call my mom to pick me up. ...

    Tex. replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This is how it usually is at my place too. ETA: Except for today. Total surprise crump. Still scratching my head. ETA (again, because I has the dumbs): I'm so frickin tired but I don't wanna go to bed because that means in the blink of an eye I wil...

15. CNA=Poop cleaner?!

    Tex. replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in CNA/MA

    I'm ashamed to admit it, but we throw the disposable chux, wound dressings et all right in there with the linens. Our laundry people deserve a medal. And a raise.
