3. Nasty medical students

   qje999 replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

   I dont see why you have to teach them to be nice. that is human nature to treat patients, families, etc with respect, like you would want them to treat your family if they were in the hosp. some people are just nasty, and no amount of teaching will ...

   qje999 replied to gladtobeOB's topic in General Nursing

8. what makes a bully?

   qje999 replied to carcha's topic in Geriatric

   I agree with you on the possessiveness, but also i think a nurse who is a bully, was always like this as a child and just grew up to be an adult bully. they want to dominate and intimidate people. They have to have the upper hand.

9. Phasing out LPN's.

   qje999 replied to BJ, LPN's topic in Safety

   It would be sad if they did that, as the rn's are not going to do meds and charting, etc, and be in charge. they have the lpn's to do meds and pt care. it would never work. the rn's would be quitting fast. lpn's do alot to help the rn;s, so i don't...

    qje999 replied to minneRN's topic in Relations

    you should not let others determine what you do. if you like that , then go back and do it. It is normal to be scared, but you can do it. You did it before. you don't have to be perfect, no one is like that. the important thing is you like it and im ...

14. Anyone hate their first job?

    qje999 replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry you had to leave the job cause of all the bull. This goes on alot at many places. Nurses just dont seem to bond. Its a really fake profession among staff. they smile in your face, and stab you in the back quick. New nurses, etc should be e...
