  1. The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

    Its not part of my belief system to degrade other people. What is there possibly to gain by keeping a new, or veteran nurse from succeeding? I like win/win.
  2. Reputation of Nursing Boards

    That hasn't been my experience. I'm glad for you that you had a positive experience with your Board. I probably shouldn't be posting on this particular board as my feelings about the Board are pretty negative. I do not want to discourage other new ...
  3. bedside nursing??

    Seriosuly, some people are not built to touch other people and may have adverse physiology to needles, blood and whatnot. Its all about finding your niche.
  4. You Know You're a Nurse When...

    Awww.... I don't have a problem with uninformed or angry patinets or family members. I can put myself in their shoes and often times I know I would be angry as well. Most of the time all it takes is one kind word to settle them down. They are scared...
  5. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    I have way too many great Nursing stories to count. Despite the fact that I am leaving this field, I would encourage others to be in it. Just CYA, cause its going to continue to be a rough ride no matter how excellent your patient care is.
  6. Is Rehab the wrong place to start out?

    There really is no wrong area to start with. Do what you like. Nursing ios exacting enough without being in an area you don't resonate with.
  7. non nursing side jobs

    Honestly I've never been burnt out in nursing. That is one of the perks: there is so much variety within Nursing that if you get bored or burnt out, you have noone else to blame but yourself! It is difficult to get a non-nursing job unless you have...
  8. PHOTOGRAPHS with cellphones

    Thats the crux. Cellphones are not allowed, however you really can't prevent them from coming in and being used, unless we resort to frisking family members which of course we are not going to do. What makes me angry is that there is never any fore-w...
  9. Jcaho Medication Reconciliation

    OMG- yet another reason this field is so embarrasing.
  10. IV question

    You should never, never feel bad about calling pharmacy or any other resource to confirm safety. I usually use a software product that gives compatibilities. But in the past or in the future, I will call whoever I feel like to get answers. No questio...
  11. Caught stealing drugs

    Things like this are exactly why the normal, average nurse who is trying her/his best is treated like garbage.
  12. PHOTOGRAPHS with cellphones

    Anyone else sick of being blind-sided with having your photo taken by a family members cell-phone? I mean its all so nice and good that they like me and think I am cute. But how does that give them the right to snap my photo on the job? And what is ...
  13. Am I wrong?

    I'm sorry Emmy, but your complaint is unrealistic in this day and time. As you said early in your pst, things are different in nursing (worse) and that applies in every other aspect of life as well. People are much more expendable, overall. It is a s...
  14. Male nurses

    Go ahead and Grandfather the ADN's. After that, make the ADN obsolete. Nursing should be entry-BSN. However. We are a bunch of sniveling catty B's. So we won't ever repair anything, we will just continue to cut each other apart. We don't have the ...
  15. Unfreaking Real!!!!

    In my work, I have gotten to the point where my only concerns are giving exceptional patient care and getting my paycheck. Thats my subjective daily experience. But the objective part of me says this "profession" is utter BS. I do believe there is a...
