   misplaced1 replied to flygirls2's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks to Porridge for reminding me that I was lucky enough to get injured while in the last semester of school. I say lucky because that really helped to open my eyes! I could work but was slow. I came in and worked a bit but was told to go and t...

   misplaced1 replied to flygirls2's topic in New Nurse

   This is the problem. You are mistaken, your life should not be all about "the patient" Doctors are not taught this. Paramedics are not taught this. Xray techs are not taught this. You get the picture. The patient should be first in an emergency ...

3. The nursing shortage is nonexistent

   misplaced1 replied to pnmia10's topic in General Nursing

   I think this is the most likely scenario. I already worked in one field where a similar thing happened. We are becoming a global economy and that is not going to stop. Just having and education in something is not going to make one stand out. The...

   I agree with Eyeball. Ruby Vees post is just plain nasty. If the things she has posted here are truely how she feels I suspect the respect she believes she is getting from new nurses is just plain fear. Many people like to instill fear in others t...

   Do not get into nursing because of the "shortage" hype. There is no shortage of nurses only a shortage of jobs for them. A job in pediatrics will be especiallly hard to get. Getting a job in peds first prior to getting your nursing degree wil mkae...

   Agreed. And this is my problem. While nurses do a VERY important job it is not the ONLY important job.

8. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

   misplaced1 replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

   The reason so many nurses have a problem with people wanting to do nursing "as a job" instead of as their "purpose in life" is because they themselves have low self esteem and need to believe they are "better" than others. Once again, nursing is FUL...

    misplaced1 replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    Often people change completely AFTER you marry them or have a baby, once they feel "safe." This is a known fact in the area of domestic abuse although I am not saying that is what she is experiencing here. She does state however that her husband is...

11. Spouse Turning Nonsupportive During NP School

    misplaced1 replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed! Devoting yourself to people who might not even spit on you if you were on fire and to an employer that would lay you off in a minute if they had to shave 100$ off their 100 thou plus a year paycheck seems not so bright to me. I am always a ...

    misplaced1 replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    If you were in another profession no one would probably raise an eyebrow about this. In my old field people did it all the time. IT is because is is NURSING and in nursing everything any nurse does is suspect by other nurses (the martyrs who are no...
