  1. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

    twistedpupchaser replied to jessi1106's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a child I was introverted, but as I grew I found myself in situations that made me extroverted, I have workmates who try to get me on the same shifts of the roster and work together because I am...

  2. Pubic hair

    twistedpupchaser replied to nurseJLoo's topic in General Nursing

    I had a girlfriend shave me down there, (yes we were both drunk) and I would rather have dreadlocks than go through that experience

  3. Alternative to spanking

    twistedpupchaser replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I havn't had time to read some of the later posts for a while so am just catching up. Had to laugh with the counting thing, 1,2,3... I started the counting method with varied results, #1 Son would...

  4. Housekeeping responsibility or nurses?

    twistedpupchaser replied to L3Janit0r37's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen the opposite happen as well, kitchen and housekeeping staff ignoring signs and entering rooms to conduct their duties. How someone needs to be told on a daily basis that gloves, mask and...

  5. Having children while getting education

    twistedpupchaser replied to littleoleme's topic in General Nursing

    I started my Nursing training with 5 kids at home, I studied full-time and worked full-time, this while fitting the kids in where I could. I had the advantage that my wife stayed at home looking after...

  6. Alternative to spanking

    twistedpupchaser replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering from some of the posts if as long as it is not a physical punishment it is OK? I have seen parents who use shame and other emotional abuse to systematicaly destroy a childs confidence....

  7. Adult Modeling ANd Nursing

    twistedpupchaser replied to EmoAngel1202's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame, if you think you can handle the consequences of that, in my mind I say go for it. I understand that as long as nothing illegal is done the boards should have no...

  8. Alternative to spanking

    twistedpupchaser replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    As a kid I got the belt, electrical cord, feather duster or whatever else was handy, (funny though it was never anything soft) and I knew that this was the consequence. My kids on the other hand got a...

  9. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    twistedpupchaser replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    In recovery after my first ACL reconstruction I turned to the nurse and started giving instructions about my care. "Dont worry about the bloody icepack, just strap the flaming thing and let me get...

  10. Telling it how it is.

    twistedpupchaser posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a question for everyone here and fully expect vigorous debate as well as some cranky remarks but here goes; To start with I am a caring nurse and I don't want anyone construing my post to mean...

  11. Am I Wrong To Think This?

    twistedpupchaser replied to Bugaloo's topic in General Nursing

    We had accreditation recently, the Govt gave us three months notice that they were going to audit how we do things, from paperwork, training through to locking medication trollies and everything in...

  12. Bathroom Inservicing

    twistedpupchaser replied to barbyann's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a problem with it, I am usually standing up with my back to it. On the way out I figure anything at waist height is either for children or midgets so I don't have to bend down to read

  13. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    twistedpupchaser replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Lalalala Lalalala I'm not listening!!! (fingers in

  14. Transition from School to Real Working World

    twistedpupchaser replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    When I first left school and started on my first ward I was worried that I knew nothing that would help me in the real world of nursing. Sure I had years of training and education but felt I needed...

  15. How many of you work 2 jobs??

    twistedpupchaser replied to cmawrule's topic in General Nursing

    I work more than fulltime as a nurse, picking up overtime most weeks, (but only enough to stay under the next tax-bracket) and I also work with a Govt organised youth group as a training facilitator...

  16. Three things...

    twistedpupchaser replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Things I could do without: 1/Looking for things that should be easy to find, not missing, broken or "hidden" because someone else wants the same wish. 2/ Cleaning the mortar and pestle before I use it...

  17. Nurses who became famous

    twistedpupchaser replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Has everyone forgotten Auntie Flo' (Nightingale)? As for the others mentioned I havn't heard of most of them. On the male forum there is talk about an RN on the Ultimate Fighter, is that

  18. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    twistedpupchaser replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I know that there are those who cannot understand that this thread has made 28 pages, asking for it to finish yet are strangely drawn to it like moths to a light. In this post I will demonstrate how...

  19. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    twistedpupchaser replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have a choice, get out of bed and carry out the exercises that the therapists have given you...or...lay there and impersonate compost and rot into your bed. Only one of these choices will get you...

  20. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    twistedpupchaser replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We call phlebotomists "vampires" and I have told a Pt who was getting stuck for daily bloods that he needed garlic and a cross. For some reason she (the phlebotomist) didn't see the sense of...

  21. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    twistedpupchaser replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how many "Boys" are lurking here not brave enough to post for fear of upsetting anyone. From a couple of posts I get the impression that without a bra a 38DD would turn into a 38 long. I am...

  22. Laser Tattoo Removal

    twistedpupchaser replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    If you heard what my wife calls me, especialy after reading my pet name for her it would be easy to think all sorts of things. Fortunately, we have a sense of humour that lends us to tease each other...

  23. Reasons to work in Australia

    twistedpupchaser replied to JadedCPN's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    From the posts supplied so far it is easy to see why we Aussies are considered very parochial in our views. People living in Sydney or Melbourne will tell you that they live in the best part of...

  24. Laser Tattoo Removal

    twistedpupchaser replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    The Minister of War & Finance is the pet name I have for my beloved wife. I call her that because she is the one who decides when we go to war and also decides how the finances are spent. If I got...

  25. If You Think You Haven't Heard It All...

    twistedpupchaser replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    When we have a Pt abscond there is a process we have to follow which includes a full search in some cases. Several years ago a decomposed body was found in bushland not far from the hospital, still...
