1. Dropping the "Nurse Card"?

   DrNalepa replied to RNJay_'s topic in General Nursing

   I was speeding home from the grocery and did not want my ice cream to melt and IBS to hit in. I was pulled over and when the officer asked for the registration papers I opened the box and pulled out the paper. Handed it to him. After a short while...

2. So you're an RN - you must be earning big!

   DrNalepa replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

   Depends on where you live, what type nursing you do and the level. All are factors. As a school teacher beginning my first year I made $300 a month. Teachers make good money, right? Don't let comments like this upset you. Many professionals are ...

3. Annoyed by commercial

   DrNalepa replied to jodispamodi's topic in General Nursing

   Don't know your state, but having been around hospital practically all my life (not as a nurse, but a patient and/or observer) I can attest to you the best doctors (from neurosurgery, internists, and nurses) I have observed at Lafayette General Hospi...

   Some people catch on quicker than others. Some never catch on. Rather than being derogatory toward them help them learn.

5. Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

   DrNalepa replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

7. Thinking of giving up FNP program

   DrNalepa replied to Guest838984's topic in NP Students

   I don't think you gave yourself enough time to adjust to nursing. Yes, money is good, but so is a good work environment where you like your coworkers. See how long they will keep your work active. Give yourself a break and be a good nurse. If FNS...

8. flirting at the workplace

   DrNalepa replied to learning247's topic in Relations

   Again, I would say talk to the supervisor and tell of the situation. If it is one of their doctors and they love the man then you may be out of luck. Being myself and comfortable in skin, I would tell the nurses, secretaries, etc. to act their age ...

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

   DrNalepa replied to NewRN'16's topic in Relations

   I think the first thing that should be done is talk with the supervisor(s). If that does not work contact the President or CEO of the company and explain to them what is going on, why they cannot keep good RN's and if the action continues it may jus...

    I am a retired Professor that taught AP I & II for over 15 years. If you need help contact me at [email protected]. Pass this around to all that may need tutoring. I may be going back to work to teach those subjects to nursing students only. ...
