  1. embracing my fears

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in LPN to RN

    You sound so much like me... I aced all English courses, but Algebra ... *shudder*. When I took it, I had to force myself to stay calm and not flip ahead or allow myself to see everything as a big...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to Gompers's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  4. As the Stomach Turns: Drama in the Workplace

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

  9. Violent Sex Offender on our unit (long)...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest that a plainclothed security or police officer sit INSIDE his room but OUTSIDE the curtain. That way Joe Public isn't seeing someone stationed with him, and the man still has his...

  10. DRS ARGGGGHHH! Can't live with them, can't shoot them!

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry... how sad to have to witness this. Is there another doctor you can consult, or can you call her doctor? She can't be comfortable with that much fluid buildup, isn't there someone you can...

  11. When will they change the name???

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to hand2cut's topic in Men in Nursing

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to cookiemonsterrn's topic in General Nursing

    Why target healthcare professionals? It's not as if we hold the closely guarded secret that cigarettes are *gasp* BAD FOR YOU... Every smoker out there knows it's bad for them. Good luck out

  15. Police Killed Our Patient

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    That would be wonderful... until someone claimed it was a violation of their rights and/or HIPAA and decided it's simpler to let them keep dying rather than risk giving them a 'crazy rep'... what a...

  16. Police Killed Our Patient

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Angie- I couldn't agree with you more. It is SO sad to see something like this happen... I agree that as nurses we have such a different viewpoint than as police officers, out there not knowing who is...

  22. I'd Rather Work Alone

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to SkateBetty's topic in First Year After Licensure

  23. Beating myself up

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to chachh's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had a very similar situation as a brand-new RN... I learned from it and it has never happened again. You'll learn from this as well- it doesn't make you a bad nurse, just a human
