  2. Rude/ Inconsiderate nurses during clinicals

    Op, not to say that they're no rude nurses out there, but come back and read your post after you've worked as a nurse for at least 2 years- hopefully in a teaching hospital...
  3. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Absolutely OP! After working rehab for 3+ years, I'm finding it increasingly hard not to feel resentful towards my obese pt's. A lot of it has to do with management's inadequate staffing and lack of proper equipment (a gait belt and slide board for a...
  4. So I've been working for about three years in various rehab settings. I started out out in an LTC, then to an acute rehab floor in a hospital then to a spinal cord injury unit. I've picked up a decent amount of skills during this time- wound care, I...
  5. Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    I feel your pain OP. I'm currently enrolled at the local state university's ADN to BSN program. The writing does feel like alot of BS- I have to go over the vague and lengthy instructions at least four times to understand what the instructor is rambl...
  6. Tired of it all

    It happened with the housing market, and I feel healthcare's day of reckoning is coming soon. Things can only go the way they are for so long, and I have no idea what to expect when the dust settles- till then don't let 'em get you too down.
  7. These two hats are wearing me down

    So due to varying circumtances, my floor has lost about 90% of our CNAs in the last couple of months and leadership has been slow to replace them.
  8. How Do I Toughen Up At Work? Part 1

    Rn/writer, I'm really not exaggerating when I say that this is going to be a life changer for me. I wrote down a few thoughts last night and went through them with a rational mind, and I had a moment. I'll have to careful not to start making excuses...
  9. how can these schools get away with SCAMMING people?

    I have talked about for profits till I was blue in the face :spbox:. Recently though, I've noticed how certain individuals will proudly proclaim that the nursing program they attended was very competitive and how only a quarter of their original clas...
  10. Nurses protest at HCA Largo Medical Center

    I can honestly say that I applied for a job there this summer- I guess a new grad RN isn't good enough for LMC, but an unsafe pt ratio is. Oh well...
  11. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    I'm curious to see if his school school lets him graduate- freedom of speech and all...and yes, I do think he's disturbed on some level.
  12. What is the fate of the new graduate RN?

    I give up. Thanks for the kudos though.
  13. What is the fate of the new graduate RN?

    OP... :anbd::anbd::anbd:
  14. Grady Hospital.......

    Channel- happy for you, but this is (imo) is TMI. There's plenty of threads on here about people losing their jobs for online postings. Why would you risk it??
  15. Pct refused delegation

    Friday my manager called me on the phone and asked me about the situation. She said, "Deana (name changed) says you won't change patients or empty colostomies because it makes you vomit." Admittedly poop is my weakness. I'm concern about here accusa...
