1. Top 5 Do's Top 5 Dont's

   openyourmind replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Nursing

   Sad but true. Wolves in sheep's clothing are everywhere and I have experienced this first hand. Normally I'd say trust can be earned but when it comes to profession and business these are just one of those territories you don't want to tread upon. Yo...

   Same here! This benefits anyone.

3. I want to quit

   openyourmind replied to anonrn1's topic in Career Support

   Someone mentioned vit D difficiency and I too had that problem. A lot of what you are describing reminded me of how I was feeling. What I did was take some vitamin D and I would sit out in the sun for like 15-30 min everyday. I know that sounds ridic...

4. Do you like nursing?

   openyourmind replied to Wutermelon's topic in General Nursing

   Mmm, I think what is good to keep in mind is to take what people say with a grain of salt. A lot come online to vent/express negative views. Edit: This doesn't mean the complaints aren't valid, but you can't really base your decisions on the opinions...

   Your words, not mine.

6. How to get a job working with babies

   openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in ADN/BSN

   Although this is off-topic and the OP has had her question answered multiple times, I think it's important that a nurse or other healthcare professional, or in this case, a nursing student stay humble and not think they are better than others who are...

   openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in ADN/BSN

   Did you just call people who work in food service cheap? Those people service people. Much like a nurse services people. If you can read I was making an analogy and not comparing those who work in food service as nurses. But nice to know you think pe...

8. How to get a job working with babies

   openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in ADN/BSN

   Again, I do not see why a person who is adamantly anti-choice, would look into applying at a job that may carry out such procedures and request their employer to opt out of them. It's like if someone were to walk into a BBQ restaurant demanding the c...

   Perhaps a nurse or even a lawyer on this forum who is knowledgable on abortion laws can shed some light on the subject. Either way, I'm grateful for nurses who don't judge women for the right to choose. ?

10. How to get a job working with babies

    openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in ADN/BSN

    I imagine that law was placed when a place of employ did not perform these procedures, decided they should add it. In that case, it wouldn't be fair to the people working there who applied to the job knowing that those procedures didn't happen there ...

    A nurse whose purpose is just to advocate for the patient is bias? The only law that protects your beliefs that I know of is the right to freedom of religion. That doesn't mean everyone else needs to respect the list of wishes you may have. If an emp...

12. How to get a job working with babies

    openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in ADN/BSN

    I was illustrating a point on how you very clearly wrote "I do not care what you believe" to the nurse, because you were the patient. So why is it hard to believe that patients you may be treating will feel the same way about YOU when YOU are a nurse...

    You received a circumcision? Or felt this vicariously through your child? Either way, your child didn't have a choice whether or not he wanted to be circumcised. YOU made that decision and the doctors or nurses working there that may or may not have...

    Oh unrealistic dreams... I am going to cross the sea, without a boat and paddle.

15. I just cried.. In a staff meeting

    openyourmind replied to 002rn05's topic in Relations

    You are so strong. At the end of the day overworking people boils down to money. Sigh! I don't see what's the point? What's going to happen when people start to leave because of understaffed conditions? Yeah they'll replace you, but how long until th...
