4. Does nursing change you into an angry person?

   TheMediaLies replied to DesireeBeyerGreen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   The first 1-5 years after graduating? No. Afterwards you get tired of the bs and go back to school to be an RN where you encounter more

5. Losing respect for nursing students

   TheMediaLies replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

   Ha. Try going to school in the army as a medic or as an LPN. Wait, these students wouldn't even make it past boot camp (8 weeks) let alone enter AIT (Advance Individual Training) to be a medic or an...

6. How stressful is nursing?

   TheMediaLies replied to AlexisNicole's topic in Nursing Career

   It could be worse. Back then(the 1990s in my experience), the nurse to patient ratio was ludicrous. It wasn't uncommon to have 1 RN take care of 8 patients. Well, in some cases(seldom), that lone RN...

9. Moving On

   TheMediaLies replied to RN-767's topic in General Nursing

   You won't be the last to quit nursing just right after graduating. I see it all the time @ my hospital. I've worked with bright and young nurses straight from that university or a state college. Once...

10. Did you keep your nursing books?

    TheMediaLies replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

11. How are you spending your retirement?

    10 more years and then I'm moving on to something else . I'll still be too young to retire completely 10 years from now, but I don't plan on being a nurse anymore. I've been taking care of people...

12. LAZY CNA's!!

    TheMediaLies replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel ya. When I was a CNA back in the 1990s, I did (95% of the times anyway) what I was told by the RNs , managers, MDs, and when I was in the military, by anyone out ranking me. You don't come to...

    TheMediaLies replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL. Lazy people are everywhere @ the workplace. From the HBS all the way down through the nurses aides. ROFLMAO. Lazy people, greed, office politics, and so on.

    TheMediaLies replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC
