  2. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    1) Anyone who remembers nursing school knows that there are such things as stupid questions. That is just how life is. If you come on this board, and say something like: I am going to take my NCLEX for the sixth time in two days, any tips on how ...
  3. Nursing job with the least interaction

  4. Working with Families that dont control their kids

    If the patient has their own room, explain to the parent through the interpreter that the sibling may no longer be around the patient while she is in your care. Legally you can not be responsible for the sibling. Let your case manager know and docu...
  5. Nursing job with the least interaction

    I have had this discusssion with a friend of mine several times. She is incredibely burned out after only a few years of nursing. The constant crazy demands made by families, patients, supervisors, just the general abuse that nurses have to go thro...
  6. Why is there so much rudeness?

    There have been a few times when I have been very matter of fact. Honestly some people post/start some ridiculous threads and I guess I like to feed the trolls. I have to say that I think I censor my comments that I post. I definitely would never ...
  7. Nursing listed as 4th on a list of fun jobs.

    After 14 hours of labor and pain medication, which before this the only pain reliever I had ever had was a tylenol, I couldn't imagine caring for the baby alone.
  11. The War On Fat

    Having empathy does not mean ignoring the obvious. Over indulging in drugs, alcohol, unsafe sex, food..... Can effect our overall health. A persons weight can determine the ability to care for a person, short staffing has seen to that. Being ove...
  12. Got a D.....:(

    I also suggest not buying the books from B and N. Go sit in the coffee shop and use them for free. Do all the books not just Saunders. I always thought that one was to easy.
  13. One of the most frustrating things about nursing

    Here's a twist. I am going to say other nurses. The unnecessary drama caused by the need to project their miserableness - making up my own word, on the other people around them. Leave the BS at the door, do the job, and go home. The patients, fa...
  14. 100k salary?

    Basically if you made 30 dollars an hour and worked 40 hours plus 25 hours overtime at time and a half you would. But you would have a nervous breakdown more than likely.
  15. How much of a raise did you get this year?

    I got a 1.50 raise which doesnt happen a lot in home health care. I think it was due more to my willingness to work wherever and whenever. I happen to love the company I work for and they have been good to me so that goes along way in pushing me to...
