As The Hospital Pervs-- It's Overtime Time

[Lancecastor]

I miss the white dresses, white hose, and white shoes.

Who could possibly die when being cared for by an angel?

The sounds those ensembles made, used properly, could sell a lot of consumer goods, methinks.

I have dressed women for show as part of my job description at a number of companies and ptc's.

Not sure if angel is the best word. Total Femininity might be closer, because it includes the erotic.

I prefer my nurses to be bright eyed and bushy tailed.

I guess I'll start wearing my fox tail plug to work.

I need one of those. Shake things up around here.

What is your specialty?

Paperwork!

I'm in subacute rehab/SNF. I manage the reimbursement assessments (MDS).

You must have your BSN. I'm a lowly Associate's holder. I'm 10 classes away but I have no desire.

Associate holders are not lowly!!

I got my ADN in 1994 and went back and got the BSN in 2007. Not because it was necessary for the job, though. My boss doesn't have one. What I do is pretty specialized, and you have to know a lot of government rules and regulations.

Good for you! I hope you found a better place. Are you doing 12's?

Yes to the 12s. I can't do the 5 days/week thing 9-5. It crushed me. I don't know how people survive working 5 days/week.

I did interview for a different H for CTICU but the money offer was not worth going there.

I like the variety of Trauma nursing.

I have come to the conclusion: the bedside is the bedside and the bullshit that goes with that will be mostly the same everywhere. I might as well stay where everyone loves me. I won't have to go through that period of: she's fucking crazy but she's alright.

I am two classes away from BSN. I have been writing MSN papers for top dollars for the last three years, my most steady client graduates with NP/APN this semester. I am ashamed of myself.

 

[sweepthefloor]

Nurse Jane has returned!

I am back bitches!

 

[sweepthefloor]

I like the perky young ones with the uplifted bums.

I do think nurses should wear proper fitted whites.

White yoga pants, lycra turtleneck and a rear vented short jacket would improve everyones health.

The problem with the whites is keeping the look fresh. We are still in white tops but there is a committee trying to make changes.

it's a pain in the ass and isn't going to give me any more dollars in the paycheck.

Nurses are a masochistic bunch.

I believe you are right. I just had someone this week tell me I had masochistic tendencies.

Lol. I'm ok with that. A little pain never killed anyone!

I have thought about this topic and the nature of the business. There is a strange power dynamic associated with nursing.

I have seen the toughest nurses talk a good talk, shift after shift until the Surgeon(s) walk on the unit.

The same nurse will strike fear into the Resident that writes a questionable order, or requests routine type labs off-batch-lab time. The same nurse will make a Resident life miserable for three years if he/she gets one drop of blood on the clean sheets during a line insertion one time.

A Resident came into my room this week to obtain an ABG. He brought a chuck pad with him. He said: “I won’t make a mess. I got screamed at during my first rotation by an ICU nurse.”

The Medical Intensivist that usually covers our weekend shifts is my now one of my best friends. Our relationship started with me telling him years ago, “Get out of our ICU if you are not going to do your job.”

Would I ever speak that way to our Surgeons? No fucking way. It’s weird.

And I have been screamed at, but I keep going back for more.

Nurses are a masochistic bunch.

I think you are right.

I believe you are right. I just had someone this week tell me I had masochistic tendencies.

It’s probably true, it's OK.

Lol. I'm ok with that. A little pain never killed anyone!

“This will only hurt a little, but it’s going to hurt.”

Your client will have to live with herself knowing she's a phoney.

Do you know what marks the papers you write get?

 

[TheLM]

My archnemesis is a surgeon.

If you're going to get caught drunk multiple times and nearly kill someone, you have no business cutting my patients.

I don't fear him though. I'm tall and he's short.

Amazing what a difference that makes in Man World.

His truck is cooler than my car, though. XD

 

[Jennifer]

Surgeons are my bread and butter and we keep them on a pretty short leash in the OR.

We tend to have good working relationships.

I've got a anesthesiologist who regularly makes my OR staff cry...

Do you get along with the gas team?

I do. At my last job the ologists were pricks but the CRNAs were ok. At my new place the ologists are amazingly nice and incredible team players. This group is a younger bunch which makes a bit of a difference. No one wants to be called Doctor but I still do. For now.

That's why one of the local hospitals is giving a signing bonus?
