    instructor says nursing is not for me..

    Good to hear from you Orletta, I would like to make a comment on the posting by ms. Co-Co Nut. Althought I would like to think you are honest and in the best interest of this young lady to chime in with your "opinion" that you don't think she be...

    Breaking through the cliques

    Dear Lonely, Do you work nights or days? I know what I would do but you have to make up your own mind. The first thing I would do is stop asking them questions (that changes the power structure) unless some one REALLY gets slammed I would not of...

    Shocked...Confused...& Terminated=SAD "(

    OK Lucky, I think I posted to you a couple of days ago, but I reviewed your posting and wanted to make a couple of comments. So you cannot start an IV, it's not in your scope of your practice right? Here are some questions I would have for the wh...

    instructor says nursing is not for me..

    Dear Orlettta, Nurses aren't born nurses. We learn to become nurses, it's a process. I have to say that I think educators who "opine" in your second semester that your not cut out to be a nurse don't know what thier talking about. What they ha...

    Shocked...Confused...& Terminated=SAD "(

    Dear Lucky, I would be at a loss myself for the cause of this patients rapid change. Please don't let this get you down, what else could you have done diffenrently? Maybe nothing it was just going to happen no matter what. If you hadn't been c...

    Baffled

    This is a great topic...thanks for sharing it. A few things come to my mind, for instance women can be as abusive as a man and man submissive, who know's, maybe thre into BDSM? Then there is that ever present chance that a c-pipe was hit on before...
  7. I'm having a little problem with my email so this may be a dup. This smacks of age discrimination to me. I would also go to my personal physician not one provided by the instituation. Have you looke into HIPPA? Let me know what happens this is a v...

    Nurses who Nurse Patients

    Dudette10, I feel you! The one that drives me insaine is " well we have a 20g in the LFA, it does flush to well, there is a little edema, But we didn't want to dc it because that was the only IV access she had." It's all I could do to restrain...

    Dear preceptor

    I just love a warm and fuzzy story. The oo's and aah's of the good old days, but I have a different take on this. I think there are some instructors/preceptors who get off on putting the fear of Godin thier student's. However this personality type t...

    Nurses who Nurse Patients

    Dear Chevyv, I like you began as an LPN for 20 years, then RN for the next twenty. I had to take some time off for health reasons and had to take a "Refresher" course. It FINALLY dawned on me why so many of the younger generation love those 12...
  13. Remember Anna Nichole, Michael, Elvis and on and on. For every preciption addict lies a member of the healthcare team willing to write the scrips. When I watch the addicts being arrested by the droves in places like Florida for selling the scrips t...

    Problem with another nurse

    Dear Nickie Laughs, Just another reason to do away with 12hr hour shifts! I don't think I completly understand your comment, but I'll take a stab at it anyway. Me, no I am not a new grad I've been in practice for 40 years. I just fail to see ...

    Problem with another nurse

    I have read many of the postings on this subject, I disagree with most of them. I got that "here we go again" feeling again. Why do we give report? I'm thinking so nurses can communicate with each other concerning a patient. I don't agree with wri...
