One night I woke up choking. No matter how hard I tried to cough I couldn’t get it up. Panicked, my fingers fluttered for the call light. My muscles went floppy like they had no gristle in them.
The old nurse arrived and she tilted my chin up. Cold metal brushed my throat. “It’s a plug,” she said, dropping it into a basin. Stale air got sucked back down into my aching lungs. Unable to voice my thanks, I fell back asleep with her sitting beside the bed rubbing my head.

Addressed to a hypothetical patient, here are a few things we see and talk about among ourselves that would appall the general public if such knowledge became widespread. On the other hand, it just might give them a reason to treat us with a little more respect the next time they find themselves on the receiving end of nursing care...
Success Stories in Nursing
It has been the hardest 2.5 years of my life. I am a single mother of two wonderful girls. I have worked full-ime, took care of my family and went to school full time to become a nurse. I have gone through so much...Almost losing my job, failing two of my nursing classes and then lets not forget not sleeping. But that is all behind me now because today is a day to celebrate.......I have officially become a RN.
Specialty Nursing
I was wondering how experienced case managers effectively handle going into nursing homes to assess your patients yet meeting resistance in turning, repositioning, assessing skin integrity. I know these nurses are busy (or NOT) sometimes but sometimes really confused, total care, dead-weight patients are back killers... So what has your experience been like. Need advice!!! I have just been assigned a nursing home that is nicknamed "the prison" where the nurses are not helpful 99% of the time. It has a terrible reputation.
Do any of you out there utilize Critical Incident Stress Debriefings in your facility? I realize that a lot of the things we see "come with the territory" of ED nursing, but I'm talking about the things that truly hit close to home such as acute pediatric deaths or deaths of a colleague within the ED. I'd like to start some type of CISD in my facility, whether it's formal or informal, and I'd like to hear about some of your experiences.
Regional Discussion - Hawaii
I moved to Maui about two months ago and would like to do some per diem nursing. I have my active RN license from Alabama. I have accessed to the state government page numerous times to use the on line the form for endorsement and it keeps coming up blank. When I call the contact numbers, they send me to the home page without an option to speak to a real person. After instructing me where to go on the home page, I am disconnected. Anybody know how I can get the endorsement form and get the process started. Any help here is appreciated.
