  1. IVPB Question

    coolnurseclub replied to Jones3625's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Been an RN for 25 yrs. You did nothing wrong. I'm sure nurses discretion. I've known many nurses, myself included, that would even hang mini bag of saline at TKO, even 10ml/hr just to piggyback...

  2. Only Crusty Old Bats will remember..

    coolnurseclub replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Connecting the dots of the temp readings on the flow sheets kept at bedside. Patients having only one doctor who knew them and their families inside and out. No such thing as hospitalists. Med...

  3. Do you ever wish you were a doctor?

    coolnurseclub replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Shoot! I get stressed out enough just doing my scheduled shift. At least I get to go home at the end of my shift and try to " put it away" until my next

  4. Clinical Judgement Call...Not sure if I did the right thing

    coolnurseclub replied to AvaRose's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have done the same. Let the ER Docs have that judgement call, reflux vs cardiac. I think your resident and family would

  5. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    coolnurseclub replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree and have been there. I am one of those. 23 yrs at the same hospital. A little too slow and a little too caring. Patient first. Computer and covering docs a**. I was forced to resign...

  6. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    coolnurseclub replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

  8. Why I'm leaving nursing

    coolnurseclub replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    So glad you are young enough to get out and move on. If you go into nursing because you have compassion and really want to take care of sick folks, surprise!, It doesn't work that way anymore. It's...

  9. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    coolnurseclub replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Personally, I've been a nurse for 25+ yrs and that stereotype is finally changing. In my opinion, nearly all the male nurses I've dealt with as peers and as my nurse, have been extremely professional...

  10. A Mother's Day I'll Never Forget

    coolnurseclub replied to wheezer324's topic in General Nursing

    OMGosh. I don't think anyone fully understand the many things nurses can go through "all in a days work", except other nurses. Well written, thank you for sharing. Gave me goose-bumps, brought tears...

  11. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    coolnurseclub replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    How did you come across this job? I am just no longer cut out to be a bedside nurse as I have been for many years. I did enjoy LTC but it too is becoming more and more "standardized", at least...

  12. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    coolnurseclub replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    OMGosh. So true! Its not as much the patients but the HCAPS, the patient and family's expectations, and all the "Standardized Care". My patients have never been just "standard" and who started all...

    coolnurseclub replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    I once saw a poster of an old type smiley face, (before emoticons) that had on big sunglasses, a nurses cap, and one arm with its fingers making the "peace" sign. It also had a speech bubble in which...
