1. Why is there so much drama in a field where we help people?

   liketheairport replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   It's really the same in ANY occupation. I'm not a nurse, I hope to be someday (maybe!), but it's like this anywhere you will work, no matter where. It's, you know,

2. Please allow one quick interview?

   liketheairport replied to mtnWoman's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   I think you'll find that learning how to face-to-face interview will give you much more insight and openness than an e-mail, phone call, or message board. I'm not a nurse, but I do have a degree in...

3. No opinions please just facts

   liketheairport replied to wheresmyrights's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   While I take no issue with marijuana, and I am absolutely not saying you just have to "grow up and quit", even if you aren't randomly tested...if there is suspicion, and you live in an at-will...

4. nurses and spelling

   liketheairport replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

   In many languages across the world, the past tense doesn't exist. I believe Japanese is one. Most of the time, I believe I am grammatically correct and spelling properly. I feel that these things...

5. What constitutes good communication skills?

   liketheairport replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

   Concise and to the point. Also, having open ears and a closed mouth can be very helpful to developing good communication skills. Ask questions to clarify information. All of those certainly helped...

6. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

   liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

   I will still say your defintion of sociopath is really odd. The

7. tatoos & piercings, part 2

   liketheairport replied to amoLucia's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   Why are you assuming someone's political party just from one post? I wouldn't assume that unless someone said it. As far as the topic, I have a cartilage piercing that no one pays attention to and a...

8. As a Nurse and a Patient

   liketheairport replied to KenH's topic in General Nursing

   I'd want my stern, but kind, mother. Or me (even though I'm not a nurse yet). I'll tell you what's what, but it won't be in a mean

9. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

10. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Still not sociopathy. Jerky, still not sociopathy. Foolhardy, still not

11. The Commuter(s), Any and All RN's What's the real deal?

    liketheairport replied to cee cee g's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not a nursing student even, but I got an NCLEX book...and strangely, I get most of the questions correct. I think maybe it's one of those things where you psych yourself up so much, because this...

12. Just need to put this out there. (venting)

    liketheairport replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And that is an example of more like sociopathic behavior more so than other posts on AN. I kid, of course, but that's what I thought when I read

13. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Would it be horrible? Absolutely! But, sometimes things just HAPPEN. The employer is not out to get you. They're out to hopefully treat patients. It's your job. It's YOUR CHOICE to go in or not go...

14. Unrealistic nursing students

    liketheairport replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    As to the first point, just because someone's been there and done that, doesn't mean your experience will be the same as theirs. These are their journeys, no one else's. As to the second point, I'd...

15. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I know that psychology isn't a mathematical science. But, there is a distinct correlation between sociopathy and being a criminal. And drawing attention to yourself. I know that not everyone fits...
