   TheMediaLies replied to Miller_K's topic in General Nursing

   Wow. I hope the best for you.

2. Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

   TheMediaLies replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Medications

   I made some here and there. And yeah, you feel like a complete moron afterwards , but you suck it up (learn from it) and keep on working. Slowing your row down helps.

4. Does nursing change you into an angry person?

   TheMediaLies replied to DesireeBeyerGreen's topic in LPN/LVN

   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 bs.

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 LPN. They'd be toast (smoked) sitting around like t...

6. How stressful is nursing?

   TheMediaLies replied to AlexisNicole's topic in Career Support

   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 had an LVN and some CNA's to help her/him out. Toda...

7. Why so many tattletale nurses?

   TheMediaLies replied to Butterflybee's topic in Relations

   Definitely. I work with "men" like that. Whatever. 10 more years and as you get older, time flies. I won't miss these clowns when I retire my scrubs.

8. Why so many tattletale nurses?

   TheMediaLies replied to Butterflybee's topic in Relations

   Hmmmm....Because hospitals are full of women? Ahh...oh...Now I've done it (lol here comes the Nazi PC police). I'm a dude. It's not in our nature to be gossipy. I'm also a city boy. We have a saying: Snitches get stitches! Just kidding. 10 more years...

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 that call light goes off they soon find out that n...

10. Did you keep your nursing books?

    TheMediaLies replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I kept my books(sentimental and nostalgic reasons). I gave them away back in the 1990s lol.

11. How are you spending your retirement?

    TheMediaLies replied to Grace Oz's topic in Retired

    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 since the early 1990s (Man, I'm freaking old) when I w...

12. LAZY CNA's!!

    TheMediaLies replied to RNBeauty23's topic in 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 work THINKING YOUR SPECIAL lol. You're there to wor...

13. LAZY CNA's!!

    TheMediaLies replied to RNBeauty23's topic in 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. LOL.

14. depressed about new ltc job

    TheMediaLies replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in Geriatric

    You said it caliotter3. I worked LTC along time as a CNA and as an LVN and if you can't hack it in a SNF passing out meds and doing treatments , what makes you think you can get hired by the big bad hospitals if you're already talking about quitting?...

15. One Year in the Army Nurse Corps, DNA x 3, and Tinfoil Lining in my Patrol Cap

    TheMediaLies replied to Lunah's topic in Government

    From an ex-soldier to another.....Hooah!!!! Btw, I'm an ex soldier because I dont like living off a duffel bag, no porcelain toilets, no regular showers, standng in line to eat, and no king size beds. Lol.
