1. What was your first Nursing job?

   ms-feelgood replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing home assistant. I wasn't even a student nurse yet when I first started! After graduation I worked in a clinic and assisted in small operations like IUD insertions, skin biopsies, mole removals, suturing wounds, all sorts of things. Also answe...

2. Feeling like a servant

   ms-feelgood replied to nurseywifeymommy1's topic in Relations

   Getting treated like a personal maid is constant in my job... the families are worse than the patients. It's really just laughable after a certain point. A patient's daughter rings the call bell... "sorry, can you bring my mother a glass of water?" ....

3. My boyfriend's ex is a drug seeker/substance abuser/narcotic pill popper

   ms-feelgood replied to Queenofhearts_'s topic in Safety

   I'm just curious, but wouldn't it be more likely that if she is indeed abusing drugs etc, he'd get custody of the child? I don't know, I can't exactly say I'm familiar with these things... Can't give you any advice really, legal or not. Sorry.

4. Being an ugly nurse

   ms-feelgood replied to mofomeat's topic in Relations

   People don't go to the hospital to ogle at nurses. If you're caring, kind and do your job well - that's all that should matter. Good sense of humor is certainly a bonus, and you seem to have that. I've luckily never seen or heard of anyone getting bu...

6. No Experience Nurse

   ms-feelgood replied to gray07's topic in New Nurse

   I wouldn't worry, everyone's started with no experience at some point!

7. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

   ms-feelgood replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

   I've been working in a nursing home for the elderly for a good while now, and seen quite a few deaths... not a single ghost, though, but I've witnessed something very odd happening in there. Cue lengthy explanation! The building has six floors, and t...

8. What is your dream nursing career

   ms-feelgood replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

   Well, I've been lucky enough to work in a nursing home for the elderly while I'm studying, and I really like it. Old people are underappreciated! However, I'm also really interested in emergency medical care and psychiatric/mental health nursing. I ...

9. African American male here. I have some questions for my fellow nurses

   ms-feelgood replied to Shack502's topic in General Students

   Hah, my reaction was more like "oh ****, what have I done". Nursing school... well, I'm not from the US-of-A so of course it's going to be different for you. But in my experience as a current nursing student, it's not that bad. Of course it's a lot ...
