1. Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

   NICURN2FNP replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

   I just don't buy this argument. I don't look at the medical assistants at my doctor's office as role models of proper health any more than I look at bank tellers as role models of proper financial management. They are employees. They are there to ...

2. The Mockery of Nursing

   NICURN2FNP replied to Old.Timer's topic in Relations

   OK, I will say it - you all are SO MEAN. I have snorted Diet Dr. Pepper out of my nose at least 3 times while reading this thread. Doesn't anyone care how painful that is?? What if I had drowned?? Anyone think of that? NO - selfish mean people.

3. The Mockery of Nursing

   NICURN2FNP replied to Old.Timer's topic in Relations

   If you got fired because the other nurses were jealous of how much younger and prettier/more handsome/smarter you are then them, you should definitely put it on your resume anyway because it wasn't YOUR fault - they were out to get you!!

4. You're a nurse? How much do you make?

   NICURN2FNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

5. Do you prefer 8 or 12 hours shifts?

7. Ever wonder...

   NICURN2FNP replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

   Ever think that it might have been the unit secretary telling her that her patient 2 rooms down has tried to get out of bed unattended and fallen in the floor, or that her patient across the hall has pulled out all his lines and is bleeding all over ...

8. "Knock, Knock!"

   NICURN2FNP replied to sophiee's topic in General Nursing

   I also say it, because the sound of someone's voice is less startling to me, when I am the patient, than a knock on the door. Plus, it lets them know that the sound outside is me coming in, not just something bumping against the door or noise from t...

9. I wasn't hired because I failed the personality test???

   NICURN2FNP replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

   For them - experienced ICU nurse at a bargain basement price For you - a significant pay cut, relocation, and an employer that uses personality tests rather than knowledge/education/experience to evaluate potential employees (and Lord knows what othe...
