   PostOpPrincess replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   Sounds like you work with a bunch of thin-skinned babies. Maybe you should stock your unit with lollipops and bottles. *shaking my head*

2. Nurses, perception difference and education

   PostOpPrincess replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with this. Math and science come easily to me, whereas my colleagues are very afraid. I learn things easily, and remember things easily, whereas many of my colleagues (master's and up, mind you)...need a constant reminder. It's the ability ...

8. "Do you wanna.......huh...........do you really wanna?"

   PostOpPrincess replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

   There are ways to set limits. I do it all the time--I do not allow people to "trample" me because--in real life, they do not. If someone is rude, family, or whatever, I tell them. I don't allow it. I do, however, do it very, very assertively and ...

9. Pregnancy and job offers as a new grad

   PostOpPrincess replied to d2k2ross's topic in General Nursing

   It is illegal to ask about your pregnancy status or family life. If you meet qualifications, and they like you--you should get your job. However, like others have said, there is nothing to hold your job as FMLA if you've been there for a very short...

    PostOpPrincess replied to love-d-OR's topic in General Nursing

    Well..for those trying to get the "easy" way in...they're not being hired. My hospital for the past two years, only hire experienced people. That's 5 hospitals in our network. Yup. ONLY experienced--that includes those with advanced degrees...so...
