   Hello. We should not be stereotyping. The CDC is in Atlanta, hardly a group of yahoos.

3. Do you wear rings to work?

   suziesunshine replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I think it's ok to wear your wedding ring but I wouldn't advise wearing an engagement ring. They can tear gloves, harbor microorganisms and get dirty. I just wear a plain wedding ring.

   I would do the project for sure. I would also advise the instructor of the behavior and remind her/him that you are paying for an education which doesn't include this type of behavior. I would also remind her that there are several nursing forums on ...

   suziesunshine replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

   There's something wrong with bullying and taking frustrations out on other people ...I've seen may a bright and enthusiastic young person enter the field only to leave because of nasty women. It's not a critical lens. It's a matter of observation ov...

   suziesunshine replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

   It's not a matter of a an attitude. It's a matter of being humiliated in front of a patient and in front of a physician. It's a matter of expecting to be treated as an adult when I am paying for an education. Unfortuneatly, one cannot have dialogue ...

   I've been an RN for over 20 years and I've been in an Ivy League University Medical Center for about 6 years now. I can honestly say that bullying, snapping at people, belittling people and bringing a person to tears is not tolerated here. Advanced d...

   I don't consider being treated as an adult as coddling. That many nurses "eat their young" my be a stereotype but, sadly to say, it's an earned one. Everyone has heard about it and many have experienced it. A person on this thread said that it was...

    I worked in the OR years ago and I was told by the nurse manager (after being humiliated by my preceptor in front of an entire O.R. team) that this was "the way it was" in the O.R. When I went through my NP training, I saw a vast difference in the w...

    My original thread was closed for whatever reason. I have been in the profession for over twenty years and I've met middle aged nurses or NP's who enjoys humiliating new nurses, orientees or students. Tell me, what other professional does this out o...

    We are in the realm of evidence based practice where nursing "traditions' have little value. This should translate over to the tradition of nurses who eat their young. We've all met them..usually middle aged with no significant other who pride themse...
