Sadly and ever so unfortunately, yes that is what, for most people, it is really like. Compassion is forgotten, tasks turn into just get it done. The 30 seconds it would have taken to find the...

Woah. Your professor sounds extremely unprofessional. i would go to the school and ask to speak to someone. She has no right to tell you you aren't going to pass if you have grades to back it...

Right. Hence the comment about having a patient load one could handle. Ok, so its not possible, (to have a lot of patient interaction with a heavy patient load) doesn't mean I don't wish it...

GrnTea, Thats a really good point! :)

No, it doesn't require the skills of an RN, BUT, I enjoy doing those things for my patients and I enjoy the quality time I get with them. I like the conversations I get to have with them during said...

I don't know first hand what its like, no. In theory, it sounds good but I can understand how it would be overwhelming with 5 patients. We have two floors in my department, and one of them is...

Seeing a dead body isnt the same as being with someone you have cared for when they die. When this happens the enotions will come. Its not abnormal to not be devastated when a patient youve never met...

I would love this. As it stands now I dread becoming a nurse because of the lack of patie t care. Would it really be so bad if you had less patients. I would think it would make it so the patie ts...

I KNEW we should have re-checked that PVR!!

I sat in on a devotional with abpatient who asked me to. She had a massive stroke and was learning how tobspeak and eat again. I thought it was amazing how she asked me to join and I still remember...

Ive had luck with maternity pants in the past. Ive lost enough weight that I just wear an xl now but I cant imagine having pants under my belly. What about buying longer pants for averrage height...

Yes! Except I saw it, we don't add r's we just pretend they aren't there sometimes ;-) Oh and I live in SC now, so you can imagine how well my accent goes over.......

I say "Buttah", "Whatah" "Cah" and "Yahd" Oh and "Bahbahcue" and It'll never change ;-)

We had a nurse at my hospital do the same thing. Instead of being honest she tried to cover her tracks and was fired for it. Honesty is the best policy, because IF you are found out and you didn't...

I'm working and we get time and a half. Were required to work every other major holiday and the opposite the next year. Easter is still concidered a major holiday here, thank God.

Oh, and I will beg, borrow and steal NOT to have to sit when asked to at work. I dread it!! I can do many-a-thing, give me 15 demented patients but please, please, please don't put me 1:1!! God...

God Bless you! It is so refreshing to know that some people notice what some of us do and the type of personality required. You are a comical writer, i enjoyed reading your post, and your Dad is...

I can't Imagine poochie. I have always said we treat animals more humanely than we do people :( How very heartbreaking for you.

I wasn't trying to downplay, just didn't realize how painful is all. He was a member of my family that is for sure. Still can't sleep without the purrrrrr in my ear :( I think I anticipated people...

I am from the north and when I moved to the south a clerk at the store directed me over to "The pillars" so, I started looking around for the things that hold the building up. I said sorry, I don't...

I know someone who says "Cousant" Instead of "cousin" and On-gyon instead of "onion". Cracks me up. I just got off the phone with someone who was trying to ask me when I'd be back to work and...

Ruby you are sooo sweet and your post made me cry. I am glad I am not the only one who's animals are like children. You said every single thing I am thinking. Doesn't hurt as long but just as...

Thanks so much everyone for your sweet words. I am glad that I am not alone in feeling like it is just as bad as losing a human loved one. Although each day I get a little bit more used to his...

Thanks for your kind words. Although I don't know for certain, I do think It must be the same. I felt like he was a member of my family. I'm not a crazy Cat lady or anything but i loved him, so...
