    BeckyESRN replied to Mango Juice's topic in School

  3. SERIOUSLY, sometimes I just surrender!

    BeckyESRN replied to Mango Juice's topic in School

    I just found out that one of my kinder teachers will tell students to "grab the yuckie bucket and just sit with it awhile in class, then if you do throw up, we'll go see the nurse." I asked if she...

  4. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    BeckyESRN replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    Just for balance, I'd like to add that their was 1 person in my nursing school who was the awful kind of 4.0 student. She was in her late 40's, bragged endlessly about her great grades, we got to...

    BeckyESRN replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    BeckyESRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I know I've probably said some pretty dumb stuff myself, but my favorite was one I overheard. A fellow nurse was trying to explain an incentive spirometer to a very HOH LOL, we were unaware of this....

  11. Ideas for employee engagement

    BeckyESRN replied to nursenellie's topic in General Nursing

    Our's did absolutely nothing, which is why the turn over rate is so high. Nothing that we did was ever acknowledged, but seriously, forget to chart a resp. rate post nebulizer once and they would have...

  12. The worst job you had before becoming a Nurse?

    BeckyESRN replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Worst job: cashier at Home Depot. The "regulars" were just vile. The same contractors were always in the store and they were sexist jerks. I(we) were sexually harassed on a daily basis. I hated that...

  17. Does your policy have "teeth"

    BeckyESRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I do not like the 24 hour rule for a single instance of vomiting, honestly, I may not even send a kid home for a single episode. I agree that if there is a clear non-contagious cause, no reason to...

  18. Boldness to Speak

    BeckyESRN replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I liken this to that co-worker who sells avon, mary-kay, pampered chef, thirty-one, ect. They would be fired for pushing their "business" on patients and co-workers, same deal here. I've prayed with...

    BeckyESRN replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

  23. Student's hygiene?

    BeckyESRN replied to zombieghoast's topic in School
