   Ahhh I work in long term care, and I would LOVE to make a video. Not sure what the hippa codes are for that. But there are a small amount of people whom I could absolutely depend on , who have a great sense of humor, who would do this with me.

3. Does an obese nurse set a bad example?

   46oldnewrn replied to sheyoung's topic in Student Assist

   I have seen obese nurses treat patients with the utmost respect because they know what it feels like to not have any respect towards them because they are obese. I have seen slender nurses being very rude to patients because they have no idea how to ...

5. How does one cope post antidepressants

   46oldnewrn replied to esunada's topic in Psychiatric

   Most importantly like Merlyn stated, do not stop taking your medication because you feel better, it could be worse for you. I stumbled upon that quite a bit in my mental health rotation a few years ago, everyone thinks they feel better and then they...

6. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

   46oldnewrn replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Relations

   Like Rodney King said "why can't we all just get along". I am a very positive person, and I go into work and ignore the negative ninnies. I do my job the best that I can, I have as much fun as I could possibly have in one shift, and I always do the r...

9. Am feeling so sad. I failed my exam 2nd time.

   46oldnewrn replied to Ashcutek's topic in NCLEX

   Do not feel bad, I failed the exam twice myself. I was devastated, humiliated, embarrassed ect...... I put my big girl panties on and studied the cd from saunders and did all of the 4000 questions, and then a few other cd's. I quit studying out of t...

10. can my DON force me to work the floor?

    46oldnewrn replied to glm777's topic in MDS

    At my job, we are frequently getting calls off, and we need the help to cover nursing positions. We went to computers last year, and since then, not a single office nurse has helped us on the floor. I think you should do the orientation, and get used...

    Seriously???? There is no Pearson view trick. You either passed the darn test or you didn't. Don't mean to be so cynical, but really.......

    Have been working days for about three years now. Just recently switched to nights 7p to 7a. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such less stress working nights!!! I was always proud to work days, because so many silly people strive to get to that shift , like it ...

13. Patient Surveys..vent.

    46oldnewrn replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    I actually like patient surveys!! It shows the hospital what a bunch of miserable nurses that I work with who are so negative and mean are really like. And it shows that people appreciate me, as a kind and helpful nurse.

14. When will I stop dreading going to work?!

    46oldnewrn replied to janice_c67's topic in New Nurse

    I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who went through that. Hang in there!! I have been a nurse for 3 1/2 years and I am still learning things every day. It does get easier, it really really does.
