  1. What is the grossest thing that's happened to you???

    maji2002 replied to PrincessAlexis's topic in General Nursing

    Oh one other..... I assisted an ambulatory pt. to the rest room and waited outside. When he finished, I opened the door to help him clean up, but he had somehow managed to carpet-bomb the room with...

  2. What is the grossest thing that's happened to you???

    maji2002 replied to PrincessAlexis's topic in General Nursing

    Had a new inferior MI come back from cath lab and promptly projectile vomit all over front of my scrub top.... cut that puppy off of me instead of removing over my head. Poor guy, but I was pretty...

  3. Need help..hate my job :(

    maji2002 replied to butters9812's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like classic "reality shock" common to nearly all new nurses. Be sure you are taking care of yourself, eating right, exercising regularly and engaging in a hobby or sport you are passionate...

  4. Responding to annoying co-worker who asks you to work for them every week?

    maji2002 replied to NurseUnforgetable's topic in General Nursing

    I would only do a shift if YOU wanted to. I had a co-worker like this once and decided to finally only offer to switch shifts if it didn't mess with my life or benefitted me. If you opt to switch...

  5. Is this reasonable or just over the top?

    maji2002 replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

    THIS is why we as nurses, need to take the bull by the horns (or other attention grabbing part of the anatomy) and get involved politically. Everyone BUT nurses are making the rules. WE need to take...

  6. Trouble with IV starts on Older Adults

    maji2002 replied to DowntheRiver's topic in General Nursing

    I use a looser tourniquet or no Tourniquet at all. I put their head up and let their arm hang dependently and that usually is all it takes to distend a vein, without over distending and making it...

  7. AEDs in the Wild?

    maji2002 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    If a person can afford it, I am all for it. AED's do save lives, at least buys time and gives the person a chance. Certainly a chance, however remote is worth it. We revived a fellow Kayaker with an...

  8. Favorite Motivational Quote

    maji2002 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    In regards to managing stress in a code blue situation: "You can't really hurt 'em, 'cause they're already dead" That was a gift to me from a very wonderful cardiologist who has passed on. I still...

  9. Doctors Say the Darnedest Things

    maji2002 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a cath lab. A very large patient had been over sedated and needed to be reversed, which caused him to become extremely restless and was bending his legs with a femoral sheath in place....

  10. Doctors Say the Darnedest Things

    maji2002 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I was a new nurse just out of school. An older, very straight laced, dignified Neurologist was performing a spinal tap at the bedside, which I assisted. Afterword, I was charting and he came out and...

  11. Question for nurses that are male...

    maji2002 replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    "Thanks for the response. Interesting to see the difference in opinions. I myself usually say just nurse unless there is a specific reason the male part comes up."
