1. Nurses Eating Their Young

   Wu-Wu replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Relations

   I just finished RN school in May, 2007! I still remember what my 1st Med/Surg Instructor said, "if U find a nurse that knows it all, run just as fast as U can, in the opposite direction! A Nurse that knows it all is a dangerous person to be caring ...

3. Am I Babysitting or Supervising?

   Wu-Wu replied to BSN_after_40's topic in General Nursing

   Now U know why the DON was so eager to hire you! She could pass the buck to you, & obviously did not support U in the right decisions U made! This is happening everywhere, NH, hospitals & etc.

   Wu-Wu replied to NurseEmRN's topic in General Nursing

   After we got a new department manager, she had the entire internet blocked on our computers. The hospital had already blocked FB off the computers, & warned everybody to quit posting pictures, remarks, or whatever about the hospital on FB. Two l...

5. Anyone have anything positive to say about nursing school?

   Wu-Wu replied to AllThingsPink's topic in General Students

   Nursing School is what U make of it! Every challenge, every negative experience, & etc. only makes U stronger, & you should learn from it. Some students I am sorry to say, want to be spoon fed, & want to blame others for all their prob...

7. What is the worst thing a patient has ever said to you?

   Wu-Wu replied to NurseStephRN's topic in General Nursing

   Right now I can't think of a specific incident, because I've only been a nurse for 2 years, but have a lot of public contact in other health positions, and etc. The older I age & experiences I have, I've learned to allow people to vent, & I ...

8. Racist Patients

   Wu-Wu replied to Williss2's topic in Relations

   Yes, I am from Georgia also! What I try to remember, is the statement, "You can't fix stupid!" Does everybody wearing any color uniform from any department sometimes confuse patients and family members? I've had both say I told a nurse about what ...

9. Trying to get new graduate application approved by GBON!!!

   Wu-Wu replied to mt33133's topic in Georgia

   Considering that you submitted middle of December, the GBON has been closed for holidays, and possibly working short staffed because of that. Plus this is the time of the year they had to send out a lot of RN renewels due in January, 2009. Be patient...

10. Am I too old to just be starting?

    Wu-Wu replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    No, you're never to old! I was 48 in 2004 when I returned to college to complete my pre-requites A&Ps, Micro Bio, & 3 other courses. I had a BA from 1975. By Spring, 2005, I was rejected from 3 applications to Associate Degree RN programs. ...

11. I hate nursing

    Wu-Wu replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    What state are you residing in, that will allow you to take the exam now after 23 years without going back to school? In Georgia you have three years to pass the exam after graduation, or you have a lot of other requirements before just taking the ex...
