  1. I think I'm in over my head :/

    I ran into similar things back in 96' when I was a new nurse-it seems nothing ever changes with this profession. I'll let you in on a little secret....preceptor's will set you up to take a fall!!!!!! Most preceptor's have no business being a precepto...
  2. Getting back into the U.S. Job Market

    You know, this isn't the first time I've heard this from an RN. I heard that same story back in 02' from a coworker, which was before the economy went in the crapper. I was told, in 02', that "if you had a heartbeat, you had a job." Of course, that's...
  3. When I was in nursing school, I had an OLD MD tell me to "be careful" because women will use you up when you're a man in the hospital-That happened to him in medical school back in the 30's/40's. You know what, he was exactly right-My entire career h...
  4. A real nurse

    Yea, I'm thinking about doing some volunteer work myself "Focker." :lol2: I'm just messing with you...I couldn't resist. Here in Ga., an educator has to work as a "real nurse" to stay current on their skills...that's a requirement. Hey, I'm a flight ...
  5. "Medic" to replace the term "nurse"

    Are you smoking something? You do realize the first nurses were men, don't you? I hear what you're saying but you obviously don't understand the difference between a medic and a nurse. They are two completely different professions. Most of all, I spe...
  6. Does anyone enjoy nursing?

    Yea, I read the comments on this site quite a bit and wonder the same thing. It's funny how everyone is so negative until you ask the question directly and, suddenly, everyone loves their job!!! I used to work with nurses who were excellent nurses an...
  7. What's the scariest thing you've ever seen as a nurse?

    Other nurses!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. How do the male nurses feel about perineal care?

    I started out as a nurse tech so, yea, I've washed a lot of tail. Like another said, I'd wash everything but the perineal area and give them a choice of washing that area or I would. Out of 18 yrs., I've never had a male refuse-I don't know why they ...
  9. Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    While I may have worded it differently, there is a lot of truth in this. I've seen quite a few LPN's over the years never get past LPN status, do the same work as an RN and never get the pay. Why wipe butts for $15/hr. when you can get payed to do it...
  10. Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    While you give good advice, it doesn't necessarily hold true for all situations. First of all, the peaks and troughs of the nursing profession have been around since the beginning of time. It was the exact same situation when I graduated in 95' and w...
  11. Patient Confessions

    I don't understand how you guys call yourselves nurses or soon-to-be nurses with this "lack of caring" attitude. In school, they preached to us "caring" and that means, for everyone. I treat all of my patients the same, no matter what their past was ...
  12. Crossed the line... or expected behavior?

    Respect works both ways-If these physicians(I'll get that right just for you) want respect, they need to earn it. The mature thing would have been for the "physician" to politely tell the student during the procedure that he/she would prefer to have ...
  13. Crossed the line... or expected behavior?

    Man, you guys need to go back to nursing school and take nursing 101 again. Pt. advocacy is the first thing they teach you. I think maybe you need to have an 8" needle coming at you with a couple of zombie's doing the procedure and see if your anxiet...
  14. What a blow to my ego

    Oh yea, been there and done that many times and it still continues after 18 yrs in the field. As a new nurse, your too afraid to say anything but with time, you stop putting up with that sh@! I actually walked out on a nurse one day pulling that crap...
  15. Nudity?

    Man, I went to the wrong school!!!!!!!! Actually, the female who was my partner- we ended up getting engaged to each other eventually........we decided to do some extra credit!!!!!:yeah: That's actually a true story.
