1. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   mursecasey replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   I was not trying to force a stereotype on the nursing profession as a whole, but I do feel like the "older" and more seasoned nurses are not as forgiving as the new (few years in) nurses are... I think that maybe some of the people need to remember j...

2. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   mursecasey replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   @Woodenpug I documented the assessment and pain interventions and urine output in the chart. I also verbally told the nurses and my nursing instructors. I did not know that the patient had died until about 5 days later when the actual instructor o...

3. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   mursecasey replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   I completely agree with the saying... as a new nurse/nursing student, I have been treated like an idiot by "old" nurses. Not applying this to every nurse that I have worked with as a student or new grad, but there are definitely those who will throw ...

4. TNCC or CEN for new grads?

   mursecasey replied to mursecasey's topic in Career Support

   Mikey I completely understand what you are saying. I am just looking for some way to get manager to consider me for a position. I had an interview at the ED I work for and the manager pretty much told me that none of that would replace experience. ...

5. Scrubs Make Me Crazy (long rant)

   mursecasey replied to coast2coast's topic in Uniform/Gear

   The camel toe (or as my Canadian friend calls it moose knuckles lol) is a problem I find a lot of nurses are having (not just female). Also to the poster who said that men must design scrubs you obviously are not a male! Scrubs are most definitely d...

6. Why is it so hard for new grads to get hired in the Los Angeles area..

   mursecasey replied to cicilvn's topic in LPN/LVN

   not just in your area BELIEVE me! We have the same problem in my area (TN, AL, MS) area!

7. Guys: what made you want to go into nursing?

   mursecasey replied to Canadian eh?'s topic in Men

   I was an education major for 2 years and HATED IT! The summer after I was accepted into the program my great-grandmother (who I was really close to) became ill and needed someone to stay with her around the clock. I moved in and began caring for her;...

8. Male + Nurse = Murse

   mursecasey replied to awilhelm's topic in Men

   There are a few nurses in the ER I work in that are of the male persuasion including myself (even though I am not working as a nurse). A couple of the nurses and myself decided to put together a calendar of the nurses that work in our department and...

9. When will they change the name???

   mursecasey replied to hand2cut's topic in Men

   I don't have a problem being called a male nurse. If anything is to be said for male nurses it is that we have to work real freakin hard to perform our jobs constantly swimming in a pool of estrogen. I mean if you think working on a floor that emplo...

10. TNCC or CEN for new grads?

    mursecasey posted a topic in Career Support

    I have recently graduated and still trying to find that first job. I am still working for 8.00/hr and need a job bad... A nurse that works with me in the ER told me that she would suggest taking the TNCC or the CEN. She told me that as a new grad a ...

11. scrub tops

    mursecasey replied to Medsport's topic in Men

    I also like to just wear scrub bottoms and throw on a solid colored polo over the top! Management doesn't really mind and it looks nice for work and then whatever after!

12. Does being called a male nurse annoy you?

    mursecasey replied to freefalle's topic in Men

    a lepper, manwhore, male stripper, a mortician, etc... I think all of those get less strange looks than we do when we tell someone our profession! My parents flipped when I told them I was going to nursing school! They said WHY? I mean really, if I w...

13. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    mursecasey replied to yazisizit's topic in Humor

    Ok so after reading 4 pages of these my ribs are killing me... I have 3 stories both from before my nursing days but are notable... I was a tech in the ER for a couple of years while in nursing school this gentleman came in and stated that he had som...

    mursecasey replied to sweetrvr's topic in Career Support

    Seriously liked that! I have probably 50 applications open right now... no reply.. $32,000 student loans coming at me like a ton of bricks. NO NEW GRADS (this is what I keep seeing on job descriptions). I am SICK to death of hearing nursing shortag...
