1. Not what I expected

   ittibittinurse replied to NurseMegP's topic in General Nursing

   Never heard of a lazy nurse being a good nurse. Case management is stressful. Those nurses who work 3 years and go into case management or become nurse practitioners don't really k kW much or have experienced much...I find that they need at least 8 y...

2. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

   ittibittinurse replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Relations

   Interesting post. I was accused of hitting another nurse in a patient's room in front of a patient. This came from a new nurse who was put in a charge nurse position to visa around those of us who had 20 plus years experience...thus meaning she did n...

3. Why don't you just read the chart?

   ittibittinurse replied to Guest219794's topic in Relations

   My hospital has the ER nurse, who has been caring for the patient, to bring the patient to whatever unit, the ER nurse has a report sheet(approved by the hospital) that is brought with the patient. Any questions can be asked and answered. There is no...

4. Should I leave this racist town?

   ittibittinurse replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Relations

   Leave and find a job where you feel comfortable. I have been a nurse for many years and have been through racism(only white nurse in a hospital with predominantly black nurses), sexism(doctors, male nurses, and male patient putting their hands on my ...

5. University of Phoenix CEO quits

   ittibittinurse replied to Mavrick's topic in Headlines

   I have advanced without any issues as well as many nurses who have UOP degrees...so your post is moot...apparently, you have not read all the posts on this thread because other online programs were mentioned...I am still waiting for your post regardi...

6. University of Phoenix CEO quits

   ittibittinurse replied to Mavrick's topic in Headlines

   I obtained my MSN, which was my goal. Don't think I will pursue a doctorate. I have seen the online MSN nurse practitioner programs. Not sure I like them. Seems like the clinical aspect is lacking. The NPs from these programs seem to lack skills and ...

   ittibittinurse replied to Mavrick's topic in Headlines

   Agreed....any other programs that you feel do that other than UOP? I would like to know.

8. University of Phoenix CEO quits

   ittibittinurse replied to Mavrick's topic in Headlines

   Your posts are interesting. I got my BSN from UOP years ago.Why? Because I lived in a rural area and the local nursing schools lost their accreditation in their undergraduate programs and graduate programs. The cost was about the same. I also got my ...

9. Why did you retire or become inactive?

   ittibittinurse replied to dlatimer's topic in Retired

   I quit nursing for five years to care for my parents. During that process, I became ill myself, but soldiered on caring for them and for myself. I finally decided to go back to nursing. I finished by BSN and did a refresher course, which included all...

    ittibittinurse replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Katie5...madwife's post is dead on.....she must have hit a nerve....for those of who have a passion for nursing we resent and detest people who think two years is a LONG TIME to work to get a nursing degree to make a quick buck...nursing schools ...

11. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    ittibittinurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

    I'm one of those older nurses you refer to in your post. I don't really care about your BSN, your ADN....when you hit the door as a new nurse...young or old...I want some respect. Your post, in my opinion seems to lack respect in addressing us "older...

12. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    ittibittinurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

    I agree with your comment about being mean being consistent. I work with two nurses in my new position that are just mean. They say they know they are that way and they think it is okay. So, since management does not seem to want to deal with them......

    In my new position( been here 5 months) in new facility(to me,...experienced nurseof over 20 years here), there is no partnership...it is a competition....don't know why....when I have patients who are not fairing well...it's just me...when they c...

    ittibittinurse replied to JenInSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This is the problem I have with older ladies wanting to go back to nursing school...they don't have a concept of reality...Nursing school is not reality...where are the posts about the stay at home moms who went back to school, passed boards, became ...
