1. Holiday Bonus

   NurseDisneyPrincess replied to sunnyskies9's topic in General Nursing

   Got a $1500 bonus and a catered meal if you work Christmas eve or Christmas. I normally get the bonus but not the meal since I don't work Christmas. The money is nice, but I wouldn't mind a card or some kind of "thank you". But as Don Draper said, I ...

2. The Grinch of allnurses.com

   NurseDisneyPrincess replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   I'd love to invite all the grinches to my house for Christmas (eve) morning. Let me set the scene for you: A cozy living room equipped with a burning fireplace with the smell of wood and pine cones in the air. Breakfast consists of eggs, sausage/baco...

3. The Grinch of allnurses.com

   NurseDisneyPrincess replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   I am one of the annoying, crazy, "Christmas" loons that has my decorations up by November 1st. I blast Christmas music in my car. I bring holiday theme sweets to work all month long. My tree is too big for my living room and I can't have enough light...

4. Nurses help me

   NurseDisneyPrincess replied to milo65's topic in Recovery

   She's not asking for opinions on her behavior or actions. She's asking what steps she can take to fix her situation. Good grief.

5. Break up during school

   NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Nicoleashley's topic in General Students

   Everyone who said you need time is correct, it's true. You do. You need to take the time to grieve and to process. Feel sorry for yourself, cry. Eat that large pizza and drink that whole bottle of wine while watching Netflix on the couch. Whatever YO...

6. "That's a myth about nursing"

   NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   This. It really is dependent upon where you live. I have lived in places where hospitals were crying for nurses. Other places, not so much. No one is wrong.

7. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

   NurseDisneyPrincess replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

   You may have to open up and be honest about the reasons why you don't feel comfortable returning. Honestly, if you really don't want to go back there, let them know that you are uncomfortable returning to the same place where you used to work. No har...

8. Is it possible for a nurse to become a doctor?

   NurseDisneyPrincess replied to madel23's topic in General Nursing

   It's true that there is no "pre-med" degree. You can major in whatever you want, as long as you take the pre-req classes that you need in order to get into med school. If you have a bachelors, you already have some skin in the game. Next up is is the...

9. What nursing specialty has the best work life balance?

   NurseDisneyPrincess replied to dianearc's topic in General Nursing

   Psych. It can be a bit emotionally draining at times, but not too physically demanding most days. If you work night shift, a lot is just babysitting and making sure that all is well and everyone is where they are supposed to be. In my opinion, it's a...

10. Mandated

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Carebear77's topic in General Nursing

11. No Respect.

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. That particular poster always seems to have a lot of "opinions" about things, but hasn't even started her nursing career yet.

12. Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I think you've really hit the nail on the head here. Hospitals and places alike are so understaffed these days. We need all the help we can get. I'm fortunate enough now to work in a place where it's not that big of an issue (at least, not as bad as ...

13. Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't blame her... it's irritating when someone rushes off to pump and is gone for hours at a time. But it's the same with people that smoke and such. They just mysteriously vanish at various points throughout the day and when they pop back up agai...

14. What did you do after nursing school graduation?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to mstaurus2016's topic in New Nurse

    I got drunk and took the summer off and traveled. First place I went was France. Halfway through I went to Italy. I ended my summer vacation in Bali and came back home and laid around for a week, sleeping off my travels. Then I went and found a job. ...
