    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Sarah2018's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well so far as nursing goes & this is a nursing forum women have shown to be at least our equal in every way. Actually they are the history and backbone of the profession. I've said this in...

    Evaluation scaries

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is an excellent question Mavrick. I for one had no idea that getting a DUI would have such ramifications. Perhaps they should advertise the carnage they will inflict on your life if you get a...

    Essential Oil Overkill

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a new pinnacle in stupidity. Nurses bring stinky garbage in from home at their own expense and dousing their patients in it???? Meds and counseling are called for here & not for...

    Evaluation scaries

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would have been one of those people who threw in the towel if I was a little younger or a little older. I'm 56. If I was a few years younger I would have started a new career. If I was a little...

    Evaluation scaries

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah this sounds familiar enough to be flashback inducing. I was evaluated by a group that ran inpatient & outpatient facilities. Guess where I wound up? At both of them till my insurance...

    I wholeheartedly agree with macawake's comments on communication. When people expect me to read their minds (men do this this also) it causes minor annoyance. When people pretend to read my mind it...

    Degree required?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Jay023's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It depends. I choose the DNP option because I wanted more clinical instruction. However, you gotta do an asinine CAPSTONE project and other busy work to go along with it. I don't know if I would do...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Nursing

    I look at what I do as a profession. I'm a well educated and highly trained professional doing the best I can by my patients. I think this whole spiritual calling notion is starting to fade &...

    Working non nursing jobs while in contract

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ha!!! Cats I wasn't gonna comment until the whole cut somebody comment. I haven't worked outside nursing simply because I couldn't afford and for the reasons you stated about the nature of the work I...

    Thoughts on Covering Own Shift

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a Union environment and don't even tell people why I'm calling off as per our collectively bargaining agreement. The notion of "covering my own shift" honestly seems stupid. How is a sick...

    Any actual success with attorney?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to nurse_girlie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Reading some of these posts made me think of how these programs could actually do some good and probably operate as intended. It seems to me that the cornerstone of any therapeutic relationship is...

    In process, after evaluation, rpp wants 1 year monitoring without having a diagnosis

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Beazy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is the kind of over-reaching BS that these programs pull. Its nauseating. They have no proof except for third party allegations and not even a recommendation. Its nonsense. Consult an...

    Infractions While on Probation

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to susanholt's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh boy. I hope they leave you alone. This offense has zero to do with nursing but is related to the DUIs. I don't know this for sure but I'm willing to be that in my state they would probably...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to nursepw2017's topic in Nurses Recovery

    MaxDog is exactly right. We are playing a game much like "mother may I". To "win" the game you have to follow the rules exactly. Of course the only definition of "winning" is getting these folks...
