If I see one more post titled....

We had a thread going a while back "your one stop for the most pressing questions on AN." Check that out if you want to pee your pants some more.

Hey, Pink..you really nailed it..and now I have peed myself..of course, I do that frequently..but now I can blame it on you........Seriously, find the "your one stop thread"...we had a ball with that one...and you will really need depends...good job....

I've been having trouble sleeping.

I know profolol can be dangerous, but a friend of mine can get some and I want to try it.

Is it reallyhonestly that bad?

My job doing X making over 50k a year is SO BORING!11! Should I be a nurse? My sister, cousin, best friend, mom, grandmother, great grandmother, neighbor, uncle, baboon, giraffe, imaginary friend, plumber I hired last week, CEO of my corporation, dog, quadruple amputee friend are going to nursing school - what are your thoughts? Please include detailed information about my personal situation I haven't ventured. Oh by the way, IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A NURSE and im 98 years old.

Also, I think I will be a good nurse because all other nurses go into it for the money and I have ALWAYS wanted to do it, and I think i'm a descendent of Florence Nightingale, so my intentions are better than most.

I get the tshirt too! Flo Nightingale (we called her Flo back then) and I were room mates in nursing school!

OMG! I remember you! I was hanging out with Flo one night, and discovered an unknown fact about her...she was actually the pioneer of rap. Her nickname was "Fly Flo-Ni".

She rapped this little ditty one night when we got slap-happy after studying for 18 hours straight:

"So you got yourself into a fight, right?

And you need a stitch while your're in the ditch, right?

Well I got some thread

For your head

And I brought my lamp

From my camp

So we can fix you up even when there's no light!

Just take yourself a rest, son

I'll let you know when I'm done

I'll get you up and run-nin'

Gotta keep you out of the gun-nin'

Yeah, I'm the cute girl with the bun

Don't forget I'm number ONE!

Holla!"

Yeah, she said 'holla'. Bet y'all didn't think she was that cool, huh?

I've been having trouble sleeping.

Michael Jackson thought so.

If you would have looked at it more closely, that comment included people who are lay-people, pre-nursing students, etc. If you're actually in nursing school, that's great, and there are student forums where you can talk to other career changers. But to have non-nurses jump into a nursing discussion gets really frustrating. No one said other disciplines weren't valued. It does get frustrating, though, to have non-nurses tell experienced nurses, "You should have done this/that." If you're not a nurse, it can be hard to understand everything that goes into a complex nursing situation. While the site administrator has said that others are welcome, the home page does say this site is "nurses talking to nurses." So if a nurse comes here to vent about a nursing problem, she's probably going to want to talk to one of her nursing peers...someone who understands where she's coming from.

Exactly what he said....

There's your problem...you used the Herman Cain method to study for the test!

Gosh darn it OCNRN...

You beat me to it....I thought I was going to be SO cleaver and jump in with that one...then I saw your post...

What is it they say..something about "great minds and all that"????:)

Kudos...(to us)

I did look at it closely, and that is what dismayed me. It also included fellow medical personel that are down in the trenches right beside a nurse. If someone is trying to tell you how to do your job, I can understand how that would be frustrating. Happens to RTs all the time but it someone is mearly participating in a group forum and may be able to give some insight or another point of view, I don't see the problem with that. In my former position, I worked WEO & we all mostly had only each other to turn to. Both RN & RT were crosstrained in some areas, so I ended up learning a lot of things that were actually not part of my college training. I would NEVER assume that because I have had to train in some aspects of nursing that I would ever truly know what a nurse goes through but I have had the pleasure of working with some wonderul nurses who have shared a lot. That's one of the reasons I decided on the career change. Several nurses encouraged me to do so because I had taken on so much that was considered "non RT". It's just very disheartning to come to inclusive sites like this & see this type of sentiment. So I guess if I were to read something from a nurse & I should happen to have dealt with that issue successfully in the past, I won't comment or I will strictly stay in areas of this board that would welcome me. Not trying to start a RT/RN war so I will leave this alone after this. We will have to respectfully agree to disagree. Have a blessed day.
