  1. Nursing Dreams and Nightmares

    Whoo! Congrats
  2. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    People are not even giving intelligent responses anymore that we can grab good feedback from. I'm unofficially claiming this thread to be dead. But, Nurse Beth, I always look forward to your...
  3. Yummy Nasal Spray

    This goofy patient I care for is particular (uncomfortable) with social interaction, personal attention and physical contact. She can have a difficult time with change, and if you're not quick on your...
  4. LPN's aren't real nurses

    So well said, thanks
  5. Nursing Boards control of Nurses

    Shouldn't have identified herself as an RN. It's one thing if she wants to vent about the unsatisfactory care her grampa received. She used your job title to validate her distaste, but really it's...
  6. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    An influx of nursing schools/programs which are attracting (in my opinion) the wrong people. Additionally, not all of them preparing students in a more practical way. New grads are just sorely under...
  7. Let's Share Little Victories

    This patient I care for 1:1 is beginning to use her vocabulary to communicate appropriately better and better all the time. She is also becoming more and more comfortable with personal interaction...
  8. Let's Share Little Victories

    That's a wonderful idea! I'm sure she'd love it! The snow has been steadily falling since then, but it's not sticking yet. When it finally does I'll be sure to give it a whirl, with moms permission...
  9. Lol that's priceless, what a fun
  10. Which is More Effective in Treating Obesity?

    I voted diet and exercise. I do believe in certain circumstances, though, that surgical intervention is a key to saving some people's life from obesity and giving them that much needed push over a...
  11. Head to Toe Assessment

    I didn't read the article completely and didn't watch the video, but I do have something to say... Juuuust kidding Thorough, but easy to comprehend. And let me just say, I commend you for finding a...
  12. Overweight Healthcare Workers

    I think we interpreted the intent of the OP differently. I am considered overweight. I, like some here I'm sure, also have health issues that get in the way of my weight. However, I did not feel as...
  13. Overweight Healthcare Workers

    It's a touchy subject for some. However, this article and the author's tones are light-hearted, sincere and informative. Nothing wrong with bringing this topic up again IMO. I think it needs to be...
  14. Guy: Hey, tell me quick before you crash. How was your day, huh? Lady: Ok, well ya know Veronica right? Oh she's a riot... Ver' said...
  15. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Home made potato salad, porked collard greens, 7-layer dip n tortilla chips, deviled eggs, green bean casserole and of course good old Turkey n
  16. Some more good stuff

    If you've read a previous post in regards to the patient I care for, you already know she says little random phrases sometimes. It can be very cute and funny, but it's hardly ever at the appropriate...

    Hahahaha! Good
  18. Operating Room Disappointments

    great
  19. Only Crusty Old Bats will remember..

    Nearly 400 comments in, and still, everytime I check into this thread I just can't stop smiling. Thank you, Pepper, so much for starting this! And to all who have contributed as well! I think it's so...
  20. November 2016 Caption Contest. Win $100!

    I feel a sense of impending doom. Doc says I got anxiety. Just can't shake this fe... wait, are you
  21. I agree with Commuter's suggestions. I was a home care companion/caregiver in CA during and a little after completing LPN school. It will give you some very useful exp in the meantime. Congrats on...
  22. How many students?

    Hey there, I'm not in school nursing, but my kids' school has a part-time RN who flies solo. She is there every day of the week for about 4-5hrs. The school has grades K-5 with about 600 students....
  23. Pain medicine to drug addict?

    To put it all simply, sounds like a human being was made to suffer because someone had their panties in a twist while being incapable of climbing off their high horse ... The orders were there to be...
  24. New grad & I just got a job- I need advice

    Hey there, I am a little sad I didn't notice this thread earlier. I would just like to say that I know how it feels to be self conscious in disclosing your medications to an employer. I was asked...
