Students who use this and ssimilar tools are cheating themselves of a learning experience. Happens everywhere I assume. I hope not in med or dental schools!

Thanks for the warnings. I am on this drug, forever.

How can these nurses with fake degrees do the work? How would they know how anything operates? Unless they had taken nursing classes and never finished? And had experience with patients on site. Still, the audacity!

I think this issue depends on your boss. Male or female? Do you get along with him or her well? Immediate supervisor or above? One date does not hurt to try it cautiously

In a cystocomy procedure for men is it common practice to use an instrument or tool to apply the lidocaine or just your hand? That would make a difference in his reaction. Is this up to the nurse?

This sounds like a misunderstanding over the word "leave". You might have said 'please move aside for a minute'. Females more than men are sensitive to tone of voice, in my non-medical life experience. And it is hard to control that. You were ...

A strange post and confession. People are too quick to label themselves and others without sufficient reasons. The OP would not be preferred for ICU and departments with life and death patients. In the right department with the right jobs, this perso...

My post above needs clarity. I am just saying that we cannot expect no incivility in colleges when it is so common everywhere. But this does not justify incivility or make it okay. A higher standard is always preferred. So I oppose the relativist att...

Agree. Do nurses mock patients in private? Do doctors?

Incivility to put it nicely occurs through all walks of life everywhere. Why should college or nursing school be any better? And what is called incivility differs widely. Professionals or nonprof. Nastiness can happen anywhere

I am not a nurse but it looks like someone did not want you hired or taking this specific job and so is troubling you. I don't know the med procedure. Is there more to this situation than this?

Good luck to you. ULTA and Sephora? LOL. You can do much better than retail work. At least an Applied Health business. As I remember Pittsburgh has numerous hospitals highly regarded plus the universities there. Keep your condition quiet. Say it's pr...

OP may have a challenge to find a highly qualified helpful therapist. Some may waste your time and money. Some do not know the right questions to ask you. Never settle for less than excellent therapy I have a psychology background

Games should be easy not complicated rules and short Chess can be long to finish. Scrabble? Old family games are fun and less competitive without animosity between players. Or card games like gin and war. I invented a version of it once

Have you thought of ER in a busy department? Seems to me you would need quick decisions, critical thinking there. Or else a department that has patients with unusual diseases? My 2 cents worth.

As a patient, I find that a change in diet for one medical problem or imbalance is often bad for another imbalance or problem. If we need to reduce sugar, then oranges would be avoided, but they are good for energy and osteopenia. So many cautionary ...

This is a very good answer, I think, when you elaborate on it. It is a standard question for many kinds of occupations. You can also say that you enjoy working as a team, even if it isn't true.

My horoscope tells me that nurses are fortunate to do what they hoped and planned for, even if the circumstances need fixing and more RNs are needed on the job. It is good to be satisfied working full-time in a safe area and receive fair or better co...

You answered your own question. Sounds like you need another job now. Unless you think you will function much better very soon You might even be fired. What other departments do you like?

I think there is more to this than the OP wrote. Too incredulous, because no real friend would do this and has something against the OP, to explain this incident or malice. Or the others involved are not fully honest...common in workplaces.

True. According to National Wildlife magazine (NWF) black ants use social distancing to combat outbreaks of infectious disease. Workers in ant colonies are the "nurses", and foragers that are likely to pick up pathogens. Swiss and Austrian scientists...

You all reading to see if your name is mentioned? Well, my moniker is so dull, who would meet "MyWords". I wish I thought of a better name.

This family work s together at same hospital. And love it. Hugh Munn and Dee Munn are in HR. DiMunn works in the hospice. Al Munn and Sam Munn are in the cafeteria and Bleue Munn is in the flower shop. So now you know. No nepotism here.

Why are all healthcare staff required to persistently ask patients their birthdates? I know it is for ID. But the entire birthdate is not necessary. Some medical assistants and nurses are obsessed with it. They don't ask for names, not even a hello. ...

I think members mismisunderstand me. Agreed that DOB is important identifier. In my experience, clinics and services over do it. Everyone in the clinic does not need to know. Office workers, secretaries, medical assistants. I object to their intrus...
