   She would have a fit over my chest dermal piercing and my nose ring! Lol!!

2. Report or not when administrators have favorites

   CanadianAbroad replied to NeuroICU_RN's topic in Relations

   Overreacting is not even the word for this post. This is about revenge and revenge only. We have all had emergencies and have had to leave immediately. That is not abandonment. The fact you texted knowing very well this nurse was dealing with an emer...

3. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

   CanadianAbroad replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN/LVN

   I say this with respect....stop over thinking things here, or you will put yourself in a box out of fear. You aren't the careprovider for your coworker. You would not be looked at as their nurse. I understand being new and afraid, but you can share y...

4. Dismissal from nursing school without failing any course

   CanadianAbroad replied to Beebee18's topic in General Students

   Stop acting as if your race has anything to do with you being dropped. By doing so, it truly undermines the plight of those being marginalized through racist behavior and makes people ignore the rest of your message. Secondly, your actions are what c...

5. Co worker issue

   CanadianAbroad replied to SnickerDoodle_RN's topic in Relations

   I'm sorry, I don't ever recall in nursing school where a splint takes priority over a cardiovascular issue. Perhaps this PCA needs a little lesson on ABCs and prioritization. I would bring this up with the charge nurse.

6. How do you deal with personal attacks at work?

   CanadianAbroad replied to NewRN'16's topic in Relations

   Perhaps self reflect here a bit and make sure you are not adding to the toxic environment. Here you are pointing out the PNs are the issue and it is stupidity. That doesn't sound very nice at all, and it might show that your own attitude could be con...

7. Miserable nurses

   CanadianAbroad replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

   Perhaps you missed the part where the instructor indicated this nurse has been known to be a problem. That alone indicates her behavior has been condoned up until this point. I don't understand why institutions let burn out continue, when there are o...

8. Miserable nurses

   CanadianAbroad replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

   Attibuting this nurse's behavior due to a bad is why we have bullying in nursing, as we condone this behavior. Stop making excuses to why this nurse treated this student like crap. Every single one of you have been in the place of the student once, y...

9. Favouritism in nursing school!

   CanadianAbroad replied to Greeneyednurse1228's topic in General Students

   Eat a Snickers, you get salty and whiny when you are hungry! God forbid LPNs who have literally done two nursing programs get an award and not you. I can tell by this post that you toot your own horn and probably do not have the skills to back it up....

10. Just can't get in....grades not good enough

    CanadianAbroad replied to clover2012's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Find a different school to apply to. I am sure you could find another program or another school that would offer the LPN track where you could complete a bridge program whe you are finished your LPN.

11. Explaining Low GPA

    CanadianAbroad replied to jr1991's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am not insensitive here. I just see this post as what it is...attention seeking and complaining. This person has had options and still has options. Acting as if they don't, is ridiculous. Upgrade your marks for your pre reqs and apply again. Try t...

12. Explaining Low GPA

    CanadianAbroad replied to jr1991's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Stop the pity me behavior. You got into schools and you have turned them down. You have options. Stop acting as if you don't. If you want it bad enough, take out a loan and pay for school on redo your few prerequisite classes. There are many out ther...

13. Is it even possible to NOT work during nursing school?

    CanadianAbroad replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in General Students

    I am currently in school and am not working. I took out extra loans in order to concentrate on school. I don't regret it at all.

14. CNA Overlooked for Advancement

    CanadianAbroad replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    This also could be a case of a manager who is sabatoging you from leaving due to being a good worker. I have seen this done where I worked and it was sad for everyone involved.

15. Essential Oil Overkill

    CanadianAbroad replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    For the record, the essential oil use is by Ascension hospitals around the US and not in Canada. It is being used clinically and not dousing helpless elderly as you have implied.
