  1. Coworker having access to my password and charting

    As someone who has worked in IT for some time, this seems a bit fishy to me as well. I'm not a nurse yet, so I don't know what sort of system you are using. In general practice a charting system (which is essentially a database) should have a permi...
  2. How to deal with the old/experienced nurses?!

    You could just become an old/experienced nurse like they are. Then you'd have the same perspective and you'd see it from their end
  3. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    Hard work and sacrifice. Heavy emphasis on the sacrifice.
  4. People say the funniest things in school...

    (Interrupting the teacher during a discussion about parasites in Microbiology class) "You don't have to worry about triganosis [sic] anymore. It has been completely bred out of modern pigs"
  5. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    Just curious, and I know this has no bearing on anything here... Are the men explicitly forbidden from wearing them? Because I would probably wear one just to be funny and cute. But that's the kind of silly guy I am. However, what if some find tha...
  6. Discrimination of Men as nurses?

    This is either: 1) a funny coincidence because I too have a hot 22-year old girlfriend, or 2) proof that the ignoramus is actually right, because my girlfriend is 22 and I am shall we say some amount of years older and wiser. I guess that makes me...
  7. Discrimination of Men as nurses?

    The school recruiter seemed as if he (yes, he) was trying to talk me out of going into Nursing when I went in for some advice. He kept saying "I don't know that you'd enjoy it" or "Are you sure you're really cut out for a non-traditional career?" an...
  8. I hope that this is a myth, because aside from being incredibly painful, I suspect there is a potential for some real soft-tissue injury. Anything from a nasty purple-black bruise to a damaged blood vessel that could become permanently discolored an...
  9. The 'what ifs'

    After next semester, I can test for a CNA license. I was planning on working or volunteering as a CNA (as a second job) during the time I'm on the waitlist (it averages 2 years at my school).
  10. New Grad Leaving Hospital for Office Job

    I was going to ask, "with all the booksmarts and amazing intelligence, why did you choose Nursing and not something like Neuroscience?" If you really want to do health-care related things but not so much hands-on stuff, there's plenty of academia-lev...
  11. The 'what ifs'

    Thanks Susie2310. Your response makes me feel a bit better. Ever other occupation I've ever worked has been something where I'm basically thrown into the fire and it's up to me to figure out how to survive. I don't know how much of this happens t...
  12. The 'what ifs'

    I know this is a pre-nursing rant, but I'm posting it here as I was hoping to get more experienced replies. If this is wrong, I won't be upset if it gets moved. I apologize that it is a bit long. I'm not a Nurse, nor am I in a Nursing Program just ...
  13. Who do nurses make more than?

    If you want to see someone get rude and judgmental, I could give it a whirl. Consider me being 'polite' by stopping here.
  14. People say the funniest things in school...

    Ok, three things that I have to share for now. Two are school related, one is not. 1) There is a girl in my Micro class right now. From context clues I gather that she spent one or more summers in Greece, which is admirable and enviable, yes. Howe...
  15. People say the funniest things in school...

    Well, there's always the flavored yogurts too. I hear strawberry and chocolate are popular. Maybe tzatziki sauce would work in a pinch?
