Did Hillary Clinton Really Say That Nurses Were Overpaid?

photo credit: ronnie44052
I’ve been getting a lot of google traffic lately from this particular phrase:

“hillary clinton nurse overpaid”
On first thought you would think I would welcome this traffic, because it might suggest that people are interested in a nurse blogger’s view of politics.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the case, at all.
The most likely scenario [...]

Google Me Healthy

Loved this “spirited” thread on Digg about Google’s plans for storing and accessing health records. Granted, some of the Digg users are a wee bit paranoid, (my favorite comment being “Hitler and Stalin were minor league compared to Page and Brin,”) it is a worthwhile discussion. It’s completely understandable for people to have questions about [...]

How to Stop Saying, “That Being Said”

Did you ever notice a phrase that you start to hear in one or two places, and then it starts to spread like wildfire to the point that every time you hear the phrase, you want to cringe? For me, the phrase That Being Said, is rapidly becoming just such a phrase.
So I am [...]

Ticking Time Bombs

One of the reasons I like MICU nursing is the same reason I used to like it in the restaurant business when the hostess fills up your section on a busy Saturday night:
It can’t get any worse than this.
Let me explain. Working in the MICU, You will most likely get assigned two very sick [...]

Those Who Pull Sheaths

Question: What do you do with a recovery room nurse who has laryngitis?
Answer: Teach her how to pull femoral artery sheaths.

So my “flu” of last week petered out into a cold, and then eventually robbed me of my voice. I almost called in sick because of my inability to talk. Think about it. Do you [...]

Dickies Scrubs: A Test Drive

I’ve always liked the Dickies brand for uniforms. They have a reputation for being very durable, and yet they also fit well and tend to be comfortable. So I was happy to take these scrubs out for a test drive. Today I’ll be reviewing the Dickies Hip Flip Boot Cut Pant along with the Dickies [...]

Weekend Bird Watcher

Spotted a red shouldered hawk in our backyard this morning. Actually, Bill spotted it first. When I heard him yell, “You gotta see this - Come here IMMEDIATELY!!!” I thought that Ben must have taken his first steps. Instead I ran in to find Bill staring out the window at this red-shouldered hawk. It’s a [...]

Flu shot nurse gets the flu

At least that’s what it feels like. Body aches all over, slightly febrile (t = 100), throat is both soar and scratchy. Head is swimming.
I’ve been so tired of hearing the phrase, “There’s a lot of it going around this year.” (Because, really, isn’t there a lot of it going around every year?) But [...]

Must be willing to work with Stool

I present to you the latest job opening from my nursing agency:
It is a study at Suchandsuch Hospital, dealing with stool. The study volunteers would collect their own stool and the nurse would then grade the stool and monitor the patients for dehydration. There will be an orientation date the week before, to [...]

“We need to talk about your flair.”

Kim at Emergiblog has an excellent post on cheesy marketing ideas for nurses week. Please go read, “I have enough water bottles, thank you,” immediately. Because 15 is only the minimum.
