1. My Pre-grad Clinical has deteriorated into Hell On Earth

   Gaelic replied to Gaelic's topic in Relations

   Actually....this did cross my mind. I've been working very hard as a CNA to pay for school, and I know that CNA's are being phased out of this hospital that I'm doing my clinical at. I think they are afraid for their jobs and maybe see me as a threat...

2. My Pre-grad Clinical has deteriorated into Hell On Earth

   Gaelic replied to Gaelic's topic in Relations

   Thanks guys. My husband also thinks I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill. I have worked in offices before this and have always had a hard time with the gossip and the backbiting, oh boy have I chosen the wrong profession. And yes, you are corr...

3. My Pre-grad Clinical has deteriorated into Hell On Earth

   Gaelic replied to Gaelic's topic in Relations

   Thanks TriageRN. I agree - it is very indicative of things to come. And they haven't hired me, so as my preceptor said "you are only here for another three weeks" (which I initially negatively interpreted as "we are rid of you very soon"). What bot...

   OK...not hell, but.....I am three weeks away from finishing my last Clinical before graduating. I have written my finals and will be graduating with honours. I was very nervous and apprehensive about my clinical, because we were all told that this...

5. claiming to be what she isn't

   Gaelic replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

   My dental hygienist of all people told me just the other day that she "used to be a nurse". Wondering in my head why she would change careers I pressed further - turns out she was a CNA. I didn't know what to say - especially since I am now slaving f...

   I'm sorry you are experiencing this and that you feel the way you do. In my own RPN class, I'm a white female and I am the visible minority! I will be graduating with people of all colours, nationalities, physical attributes, religions and both sexes...

   Gaelic replied to sanchy's topic in General Nursing

   Then you must write them in French? If so, I'm assuming you are in Quebec. I am just finishing my RPN here in Ontario. I don't know really what you mean about Canadian Technical Colleges....I go to a Community College, which is about as low as yo...

8. Finished Nursing School on Friday...marriage is toast

   Gaelic replied to Gaelic's topic in General Nursing

   I thought it was odd that they didn't want to be my friend too. They did sort of "come around" at the wedding, and talk to me a bit, but it ended there. Just for the record, Hubby does have a very good male friend that he also enjoys spending time...

    Gaelic replied to Gaelic's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks SMK1. I've really tried to be their friends...many many years ago, when there wasn't even that much conflict between my husband and I over them. I invited them to parties. They sat in a corner, talking amongst themselves, walking right by ...

    Thank you Angie O'Plasty, for reading for comprehension :yelclap: We have discussed the housework plenty - til I'm blue in the face. He readily admits he does not care that the house is a sty. I am tired of arguing and begging and pleading, so I ha...

    Gaelic replied to Gaelic's topic in General Nursing

    Just a few points... He never followed through by helping around the house, at all, which to me says though he verbally "supported" me, he didn't follow through with much else, These are certainly not "new friends", I never, ever walked in the door ...

    [quote=jessica. Besides, she's the one that is seeking advice from others and asking for opinions from a third party. If it were up to me I would not be asking strangers for help in my marriage, I would talk to my HUSBAND. JMHO Jessica Just to clar...

    Um....Wow. Speechless on this one!!!!!!!!! Ahem. Ok. I appreciate all the responses (however off base some might have been ) and here are some thoughts. For those who say I haven't made him a priority in my life, and that I've been spending oodles ...

    Gaelic posted a topic in General Nursing

    I finished my last day of exams for RPN school on Friday. I did very well. My final average was 86. Even though it's only my RPN, it took me over three years - I did it part time while working as a PSW (our version of the CNA). It's been backbrea...
