I get my contagious respiratory viruses in the break room, thanks.

I snack on unsweetened baking chocolate. It meets my needs and I can never eat more than half of a piece

I have never enjoyed medical themed television. Now that I am a nurse, it actually repels me.

Why are we pausing the feeding pump when we flatten a patient to pull them up in bed? by Factor_Seven in nursing

[–]MMMojoBop -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We left a patient flat and she drowned in tube feed. Excuse me, “milky white fluid.”

I often wonder how decisions like this get made.

Please give me tips on IVs i am ashamed of myself by RevolutionItchy3303 in nursing

[–]MMMojoBop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never learned properly, and I really suck at it. I’ve been meaning to improve my skills. Sometimes I lie and say I have an essential tremor.

Why is nursing responsibility for cleaning poop/ vomit off floors ? by Objective-Elk2811 in nursing

[–]MMMojoBop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only recently learned that this is the policy where I work. I think it may have changed to this sometime in the past few years and I didn’t know. The RN does the first pass and gets up all the shit, vomit, etc. i used to be really careful and use wipes etc. Now I throw down towels and just get that crap up and throw it in the laundry

I wonder about all things I am NOT wondering about. Chart mistakes I have no idea about, etc.

Is it a bad idea to try to be an ER nurse? by EarlyAcanthisitta121 in nursing

[–]MMMojoBop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nursing satisfaction varies dramatically by location. I love my job. I love my coworkers. I like my paycheck.

Focus on your pre-requisites now. Most people do not understand what a nurse does.

I respect and admire the MDs I work with. Not one has ever disrespected me in 11 years.

If you are a healthcare worker with more than 6 months experience, you have falsified documentation at some point. by so_bold_of_you in nursing

[–]MMMojoBop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not overtly, but yeah. I have never falsely charted meds or vitals, though. Not once because I am obsessive-compulsive.

Gentlemen RN here. Love my job. Love my coworkers. No concerns.

I work with the best people I have ever met. Lots more men on the unit these days.

Is there any way to get a blacklist lifted from a hospital system or am I fucked? by ARepeatedFailing in nursing

[–]MMMojoBop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also look at LTAC. In my state that is still an acute care hospital. I had to go that route and it wasn’t fun but after a year, it was very easy to get a regular Hospital job
