    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to chikenlegsRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You do not qualify for FMLA until you have been employed for a year and have worked 1,250

    What's Rude?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If it's two lanes, sure. If I'm in the far left lane I'll always pop next lane to let a person pass if they are driving faster than I. But if you're on a 3-lane road there's no reason a person can't...

    What's Rude?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I learned to drive, I was taught that a good rule of thumb for safe following distance is one car length for every 10 MPH. So if you're going 40 MPH, you should allow 4 car lengths between you...

    What's Rude?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a 73-year old fellow answer his cell phone in the middle of an appointment with me. If I'd reacted faster, I would have told him thanks for his time, the visit was over (and it was almost over....

    showering: before or after work

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    Guess I have issues. Also had to laugh at the "only shower if you work out for more than an hour" like who are these people to announce that nobody ever turns into a pumpkin before midnight? I'm all...

    Who Should Clean Up, Offgoing Shift or Oncoming Shift?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't answered why you're dragging up a "back in the day" story to poll who was in the wrong. What's your goal here? By way of answer, an outgoing nurse is not responsible for a new mess that...

    showering: before or after work

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    People don't understand when I talk about good clean dirt and how I wash my hands a lot less (I used to be a bit... overzealous. Still am in certain situations) when I'm outside the hospital now. My...

    Combative Patients/Body cams/Walkie talkies

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Either that or he needs to pick a career he actually KNOWS something about to be his *this is what I want to do with my life!* Because at this point he hasn't given any viable reason he wants to...

    showering: before or after work

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very oily, so if I'm going to leave home I don't have the option of not showering (or at a bare minimum, washing my hair) in the morning. I would shower after a shift on occasion if I had contact...

    Combative Patients/Body cams/Walkie talkies

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As others have said, there is SO much wrong here. I'm going to focus on the fact that your instinctive reaction is to belittle and curse at a person with BRAIN DYSFUNCTION who cannot comprehend what...

    8/13 this week, I've learned the connection between AN desktop, insurance, and HR

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I learned that some companies like to sue anonymous strangers on the internet who say things they don't like. The fact that three of the five names are regular users that I recognize and...

    9-11 - Where were You? What were You Doing?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    I was at work at my first job as a kennel attendant, where the only boarding animal was a bulldog named Puta. I dawdled for a few hours to be away from home as long as possible. I forget if coverage...

    Combative Patients/Body cams/Walkie talkies

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unlike the police, nurses get fired for using reasonable force to defend themselves against violent patients. Wearing cameras would be an unbelievable dignity violation, impossible to manage using it...

    Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    I just started a drawing class. Maybe I could do a "Before & After" when it's

    My two cents.

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Nursey Me's topic in General Nursing

    How does one tell these things? IP tracking? Anyhow, there's a huge mix of people with genuine questions, random folks trying to start trouble, and misunderstandings when the OP seems inbetween. I've...

    Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I read and craft. Drawing and sculpture at the moment - as NurseGirl said, it's a very nice balance to the scientific work. I find that being physically active helps balance stress, but that's...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    I've been at this 4 years. Do I get to do the eating now? Is there a middle ground where you both eat and are eaten? I prefer ranch to hot sauce, but I'll take what I can get. Pass the bottle,

    Unconventional hair colors

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    Her supervisor wasn't thrilled about the idea, but no one told her no, and there's no policy against that. The direction you go based on that is a personal decision. Maybe go light blond then add...
