1. What they don't tell you in nursing school...

   butterfly_kisses9188 replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Nursing

   AOx1, I have no idea where you got the idea that I blame my floor or nursing school for physician's behavior. I was simply saying that nurses in school always tell the students to speak up. They should practice what they preach is all I am saying. If...

2. Why do mean/crabby people become nurses??

   butterfly_kisses9188 replied to R!XTER's topic in Relations

   I am so sick of people saying that "life gets in the way" Sorry but I have a right to vent here too. Just because someone has a bad day or week, never gives someone the right to treat another person like a piece of crap. Period. End of story. "Life g...

3. What they don't tell you in nursing school...

   butterfly_kisses9188 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Why is it when you're in nursing school, or in orientation for your new floor, they always tell you to "Speak Up" if that's not what they really mean? It seems like they really mean to tell you is shut up! I always hear nurses telling other nurses h...

4. How long after interview did you receive job offer?

   butterfly_kisses9188 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I had an interview last Friday (May 4) and the clinical supervisor said I would be receiving a call today on whether or not I had the job or not. With my first job, I had a contract and I didn't even have a formal interview and got hired on the spot....

5. Overwhelmed

   butterfly_kisses9188 replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Nursing

   Just read all the latest posts. Thank You all. I appreciate the support. I just wanted to comment on those who told me that I should've hung in there until I got a new job. I am not sure if those of you who have said that have ever had severe anxiety...

   You all have no idea how much you've helped me. I just wish I would've worked with nurses like you all!

   I am so sorry you are going through that! You are not alone. I pray it gets better for you. I wish I had more nurses to lean on at work and then I wouldn've have had to leave so suddenly.

8. Overwhelmed

   butterfly_kisses9188 replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Nursing

   Thank You for the replies. I struggled with the decision to quit due to finances as well. My husband works, but his work has been slow. I had a hard decision to make, but felt that staying would do more damage than good. I didn't want this experience...

9. Overwhelmed

   butterfly_kisses9188 replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Nursing

   Both my parents are nurses and I only have full support from one parent, even though they both admit to having the same issues. One was the exact same as I was, which is why it is confusing as to why they reacted differently when I decided to quit. I...

10. Overwhelmed

    butterfly_kisses9188 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to post on this board because I don't really feel like I am getting a lot of support or understanding in the non-nursing world. I recently quit my job at the hospital I worked at. I am technically a new grad and had only been working there f...

    Tyler, what do you mean by " the above 4 statements?" I just logged on and haven't read all 25 pages of what everyone had to say. I was simply telling the standards at my school.

    I start August 23rd. Wow, I read that some of you have to have a 75 to pass. That's failing at our school =( We can't have below an 80.

13. So how/what do people react when you tell them you're a student nurse?

    butterfly_kisses9188 replied to chibisam's topic in General Students

    @ sncmata: WOW! When I read your post I could not believe the reponse you got from your family. I am so sorry to hear that . That is awful. Don't listen to that garbage...sorry to be so harsh because I don't know you & I am not trying to judge yo...

    butterfly_kisses9188 posted a topic in General Students

    I just had my orientation yesterday and begin my full day next Monday... Any advice for survival, to not stressing out would really help. I tend to get overwhelmed when I see a large study load, but after I get over it, I usually do really well. I ha...
