  1. Coworker wanted to trade shifts

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    Lol! In my defense, I was on my third glass of wine and was completely done with this person. My friend was next to me and she was laughing and kept saying, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT" and I was...

  2. Coworker wanted to trade shifts

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    New Years Eve is popular here it seems like... also TG and Christmas. Any other holidays, meh... I honestly don't care. I'll work 4th of July, Easter, the superbowl etc. If I were in retail I would...

  3. Going to color coded scrubs.

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    I would be so so annoyed lol. I love my pink scrubs and my print

  4. When cliques undermine team dynamics

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess I'm in a "clique". I have a group of friends at work. We eat together, have inside jokes, are are genuinely close. It's just a few of us. But we spend so much time together because we all work...

  5. Hidden camera in nursing home, cries for help unanswered

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    I can't watch something like that... I think it's heartbreaking and sickening. I hope the family takes action and I hope the nurses involved are held accountable to the full extent of the law. What...

  6. nursing for money

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to spark1's topic in General Nursing

    I have met tons of nurses that entered the career for "the money". They seem to be the first to burn out and the first to quit. "I chose this because it was financially stable, it was just a two year...

  7. What is everyone cooking for Thanksgiving?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    This is the first year in a long time that I won't be going home to my family (I'm flying home for Christmas). This year I'm spending Thanksgiving with friends and we are having a party. Italian food...

  8. Possible school burnout

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NursePeds's topic in General Students

    One thing that might make you feel better is that nursing school is nothing like actual nursing. You're learning and observing, and in clinical you kinda get your feet wet, but it's still no...

  9. Nurses with children always go home early?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh. I am going through this very same thing now. Two co-workers specifically who are after my Christmas and my weekends. All because they have children and I don't. And yes, I know all about the...

  10. Don't Risk Your Job Over Social Media

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I just use common sense. I'm not on Facebook much anymore but I am on Instagram. I post what I want, but my page is private. The only people I add are friends that I trust. I don't mix work with my...

  11. Hate my new hospital culture 2 days in, is it me?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to FatsWaller's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly? It sounds like an awful place to work. I too, would be miserable under those circumstances. But I echo others who told you that all these rules seem unique to this particular hospital, or,...

  12. I want to be a nurse with a 9-5 job w/ weekends and holidays off

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    For me this isn't a costume! I have weekends off and even holidays :) And I work in a hospital! I negotiated and got an excellent schedule. I'm busy on the weekends and can't work. And I hate twelve...

  13. I have forgotten a lot of the material covered in pre-requesites (Anatomy & Phy). Help

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to unknowngenius10's topic in General Students

    Just because OP say she doesn't remember a lot of it, that doesn't mean that she doesn't take it seriously. Yes we have to know A&P, but it's hard to get comfortable and have all the information...

  14. I have forgotten a lot of the material covered in pre-requesites (Anatomy & Phy). Help

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to unknowngenius10's topic in General Students

    I think you'll be just fine. You know more than you think, I just think it hasn't clicked with you yet. Once you start nursing school, it will all click and make sense. You'll start making those...

  15. Mentally done

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is a lot. It's so much thrown at you at once and there's a lot of pressure coming at you from so many different directions. The coursework, clinicals, classes, work, etc. It requires...

  16. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    OP, I know you said you couldn't reveal the details, but are you unable to receive your financial aid because you didn't meet the requirements? I know sometimes if you get low grades for a semester or...

  17. Gift for Preceptor

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Joelle66's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe a mix of everyone's suggestions? A cute tumblr cup filled with a gift card, a bath bomb or some sort of trinket, and a nice note/card about how you enjoyed the experience.I'm sure she'll...

  18. Working out and Nursing..

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Bnw684's topic in General Nursing

    I think the first thing you should do is figure out when and how often you wish to go. 3x a week before work? 2x a week after? Or just work out on your off days? For example, I go to the gym 3x a week...

  19. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm not for this new trend of, "I'm going to be as condescending and rude as possible, but hide it under the guise of tough love and then it's totally fine because I'm educating you!!". It's an...

  20. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Is that really necessary? Are you not an adult? I've read this entire thing and while I'm not an anti-vaxxer, I'm appalled by a lot of the behavior seen on this thread. The opposing viewpoint isn't...

  21. this is why I want to call off on my last day

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad it worked out! I guess they weren't as mad as you thought? And who doesn't love pizza and

  22. this is why I want to call off on my last day

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I might be in the minority here, but if you don't want to go, don't go. They're treating you like crap because you have enough good sense to get out. It's not about "being at the cool kid's table"......

  23. Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to trustabdy's topic in General Nursing

    It honestly depends on the area and cost of living. I make a good salary and have equally nice benefits. But that didn't pay for my apartment or the renovations, my new car, or my summer home in...

  24. Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you handled it a lot nicer than I would have. For what it's worth, I think you did just fine. Once someone starts verbally assaulting you and throwing things, communication should be immediately...

  25. Dress code policy

    NurseDisneyPrincess replied to Eeramsey's topic in General Nursing

    I work in psych and we are allowed acrylics. I get gel done myself. It doesn't last as long but my nails don't get as dirty underneath either! My suggestion would just be to check policy. You mention...
