  1. Irritating things about being a nurse VENT

    beckyboo1 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Guess I'm not understanding how you got a doctor in another country to get you meds in the US? And could have died from pain? Doubt that.....you aren't one of those ornery internet trolls, are

  2. Irritating things about being a nurse VENT

    beckyboo1 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Our ER (least) favorite "and their blood sugar is 535". So we ask if they've treated it. "ummm no, we haven't." We tell them to deal with it before they bring them up then they bring them up and...

  7. I understand why people go the LPN route

    beckyboo1 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    ECBui, where do you live? In MO, LPNs make $15-18 an hour, or at least around here. CNAs don't make anywhere near

  8. Working with a nurse who isn't allowed to admin narcotics?

    beckyboo1 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hold up, you saw on the state board's website but you don't have proof of what you saw? If you aren't on good terms with your NM, perhaps just drop a line to HR. I don't know if that's how it works,...

  9. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    beckyboo1 replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I read that post, I immediately thought the same thing! We don't know what the machine actually does, but it does go ping!

  10. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    beckyboo1 replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You mistakenly think I really am that upset about it. I don't perpetuate any battle between nurses and docs. Where I work, we all get along pretty well. As far as television goes, I just made a...

  11. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    beckyboo1 replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't even like shows like The Doctors and just can't tolerate Dr Oz with his following every new "brand new study says" stuff. And give me a break, he's an expert in ever area of medicine?...

  12. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

  13. Is there a flu outbreak in your area?

    beckyboo1 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Your husband does realize that the flu is not a stomach virus with throwing up right? The flu, or influenza, is a respiratory illness. If you are vomiting blood, going to the doctor sounds like the...

  14. is your efficiency misinterpreted as lazy ?

    beckyboo1 replied to gloryfied's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm far from closed minded, I saw the only way I could see it. And Brandon saw it a different way when he read what you said more closely. I don't intend to argue with you about it. You think what...

  15. is your efficiency misinterpreted as lazy ?

    beckyboo1 replied to gloryfied's topic in Health, Stress Management

    No what rubbed me the wrong way were 2 things the OP said "Do people take your efficiency as you're lazy. Lol. I'm too good at this, tho" and "Any way, I often am seen sitting around" I don't think...

  16. is your efficiency misinterpreted as lazy ?

    beckyboo1 replied to gloryfied's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I"m sure the OP is having a ball with some bragging on this thread and others complaining....maybe it's time to stop responding and take away his/her

  17. is your efficiency misinterpreted as lazy ?

    beckyboo1 replied to gloryfied's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The more I think of it, the more I think the OP might've been just trying to "stir things up" here. But I do have a co-worker just like that who does the bare minimum of work and then sits on her...

  18. is your efficiency misinterpreted as lazy ?

    beckyboo1 replied to gloryfied's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Efficiency is awesome yes. And I admire that you are so speedy. But do you never have a bad shift? More than 1 admission? Do you help your fellow nurses or just sit at the desk while they complete...

  22. Answered wrong on Interview Question

    beckyboo1 replied to missrn208's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't think the person with pain was the answer either. I'd have to check the post op with SOB first, then the person with chest heaviness. Just my

  23. Anybody else tired of taking pre-reqs?

    beckyboo1 replied to FaithGurl93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm totally burned out on College Algebra. Any other class, I can study til I understand it. Not the same story with algebra. I'll be soooooooooo happy when I can finally pass it with a

    beckyboo1 replied to beckyboo1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well x_factor I admire your dedication but working 40 hours a week plus having a physiology class and lab doesn't allow me 3 hours every day to work on math. The other issue is that if I can't...
