1. What keeps you going as a nurse?

   AllOfMyWat replied to NurseEnvision's topic in General Nursing

   1) Best money I can make for only two years of education. 2) Caring for my family. 3) Helping an underserved group of people. 4) I'm great at it and learn quickly.

2. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

   AllOfMyWat replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

   Spending my life caring for people sounds awful. I hope to do something useful with my career, like maybe design a mandatory geriatric euthanasia machine.

3. What size are your Danskos?

   AllOfMyWat replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Size 37. I wear a 7 US.

4. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

   AllOfMyWat replied to fangirl's topic in Relations

   Why on Earth didn't you say, "And I hope you ******* die in a fire. Too bad we don't always get what we want,"?

5. Happy Thanksgiving!

   AllOfMyWat replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   Crab legs, shrimp, roasted potato, corn, and lots of champagne. And chocolate cheesecake. Might have pasta later.

6. Thankful To Be A Nurse On Thanksgiving

   AllOfMyWat replied to TheCommuter's topic in Rock

   1) My husband. Truly my better half. We have been through so much, good and bad. He's the only one I could ever want. 2) My son. The miracle, the joy, the whole package that he is. It sounds arrogant and crazy, but I know he is destined for greatness...

7. Off topic: 8 year old found out Santa doesn't exist

   AllOfMyWat replied to Amethya's topic in School

   I'm unsure why people lie to children and think it's "cute." Teaching children irrational nonsense and then being sad when they catch you is just weird.

8. Do you miss bedside nursing?

   AllOfMyWat replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

   I worked bedside 7 years. Hated about 80% of it. I work in correctional health services. I love about 80% of it.

9. Rate Your Pain

   AllOfMyWat replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   I hemorrhaged at work with an ectopic pregnancy. I was doing a med pass for 30 at a SNF. I had blood on my shoes, but I still was passing pills before I noticed. It was, in retrospect, 8/10 pain. The whole "must be unable to speak" to be in severe pa...

10. Helping patients kill themselves

    AllOfMyWat replied to Cwoods's topic in NP

    It's the individual's choice to live or die. This is a ridiculous and ancient topic. Don't like the future of hospice? There are options. If you don't like abortions, don't get one. If you don't like same sex marriage, avoid marrying someone of the s...

11. Do most nurses not like writing papers?

    AllOfMyWat replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I love writing.

12. Work Politics... oh boy...

    AllOfMyWat replied to Leta78's topic in General Nursing

    Keep it no-nonsense and professional. Let her finish her rants. Ask her if she's done. Then repeat what you've asked. If you never react, a month of this will likely break her histrionics.

13. If you are an LPN are you married or in a relationship?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Neezy84's topic in LPN/LVN

    I think you mean another word other than disregard. Also, I was kidding, kind of. A lot of nursing and activities around it are about emotional masturbation, so I like to laugh at my insensitivity. Also, cashmere.

14. If you are an LPN are you married or in a relationship?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Neezy84's topic in LPN/LVN

    I have no clue why I docked 26 hours. Too much looking at the schedule has killed my ability to use math.

15. If you are an LPN are you married or in a relationship?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Neezy84's topic in LPN/LVN

    Nurses in general? You just snubbed every RN in this thread. Do you mean mandation? 12 hour shifts? I work 50-60 hour weeks, but always have two days off, minimum. I make it work. There are 142 hours in a week. Make the most of it. I manage to make d...
