1. Abuse in Nursing

   nichefinder replied to stickit34's topic in Relations

   hugs... I feel for you as I see abuses in daily situations but people expect nurses "just to take it." Physical or verbal abuse has not happened to me (surprisingly) but if it does, I am ready to debunk and confront the person (as long as it's not my...

   my clientele range in race of all origins. again, klone, look at how you make assumption. you're reinforcing your own reinforcement. sigh... no one talked about race when i use the term ghetto. it was used in describing very uncanny behaviors and why...

   nichefinder replied to nichefinder's topic in New Nurse

   @ruby: thanks for the advice. i actually applied to couple spots but i'm not a kid, so quitting before a secured job is a bad idea,so i'm trooping on for 3 more months unless i find a job of course. but if you have no idea what i meant about the "ghe...

   Hello all... It's been little over 3 months since I started this medsurg job... very busy floor with 6 max load, no phlebotomy team, very slow system, horrendous meditech charting, very ghetto clientele, your regular run-around-crazy-head-cut-off MS ...

    i am currently seeking hospital jobs (partially unfortunately) because of the dollars... some of you have listed out-of-hospital jobs like public health, prevention, etc. I wouldn't mind doing them except the pay is considerably low and plus seeing s...

11. What do you think nursing is?

    nichefinder replied to rosehyun's topic in Student Assist

    nichefinder replied to nichefinder's topic in General Nursing

    @Houtx: my exact thoughts. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy interacting with people outside the job and won't mind lending a hand as a good samaritan, but it's somehow different in hospital setting with patients... It's not that I don't like people, I lov...
