  1. Are you my waitress today?

    buddiage replied to adria37's topic in General Nursing

    naughty nursing costumes make me sneer. After all this brain work with school, I'm not thinking "I've always wanted to portrayed as an empty-headed, sex-starved

  2. Need advice - bail on my accelerated BSN for an ADN?(long)

    buddiage replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    I considered an accelerated program. I went for the ADN, and I'm glad I did. I am still keepin my head above water. I am earning 'c's for the first time in 15 years. If the associates is as hard as...

  3. Advice Please! A cna spread a rumor about me.

    buddiage replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you should've worried about it. You aren't the only nurse who has accidently stuck themselves, it's not like your face is on the wall of shame or anything. I also would not have called...

  4. cna & student nurse relationship

    buddiage replied to djkmc1998's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they are abused from their own nurses there and view you as potential replacments? Or, it could be a classic, "I hate my job, and I'm annoyed that you are happy to be a student." No excuse,...

  5. Retirement "Gift"

    buddiage replied to rck213's topic in General Nursing

    From the sounds of it, I'll be asking for a

  6. Is Nursing School Hard?

    buddiage replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's time consuming. I have a very manic love/hate relationship with it. I feel I am constantly reminded about how much I don't know, and I truly want to do well. I also hate the fact that for the...

  7. Is 26 too old to go back to school?

    buddiage replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhh, yes, other people's opinions... Remember in psychology that your position in YOUR life will affect those that are close to you? Remember that if you change roles, that it can cause the people...

  9. can fever influence O2 saturation?

    buddiage replied to buddiage's topic in MICU, SICU

    Oh my gosh, duh. Okay, so temperature affects O2 saturation (the higher the temp, the more requirements for metabolism I take it?) It shifts to the left... I don't understand how there would be less...

  10. How are male nurses perceived?

    buddiage replied to hemlok2's topic in General Nursing

    That's like saying women shouldn't be doctors. Some people are stuck in gender roles of 50 years ago (you'll learn that as a student). Put it this way, would you want to take advice from someone who...

  11. Adn's Who Don't Care

    buddiage replied to nursing4me23's topic in General Nursing

    As stated, I would get a BSN only if I planned on getting an MSN. I must constantly evolve or I get bored, and maybe that'll change as I'm older. I will either go back to school for a BSN- MSN, or...

  12. new RN salary in washington state?

    buddiage replied to nurse1717's topic in General Nursing

    For your info...to get a "feel." Here's a major newspaper website: www.tribnet.com I don't know "The Seattle Times" one either, but that might be good in a search

  13. Live and learn...my med error!

    buddiage replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for sharing... wow. Had the same thing happen in clinicals (someone else- an employee) gave so much Dilaudid (doctor's mess ended up that pharmacy didn't do it right and nurse didn't check)....

  14. Freaked me OUT!!!!!!!!

    buddiage replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

  15. "Just" a 2-year degree

    buddiage replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    It's one of the hardest two year degrees you can get. I'm up to my eyeballs!!! My prerequisites were

  16. Does anyone wear MBT shoes?

    buddiage replied to blueberry21's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yeah, I guess it causes your body to compensate all the time because you have to use all those little muscles to keep you balanced, and you don't fatigue standing for long periods of time because you...

  17. Will I Be Too Old??

    buddiage replied to walktheline's topic in General Nursing

    In 6 years, you will be 43 years old. You can either be a nurse at 43, or not be a nurse- and still be

  18. new RN salary in washington state?

    buddiage replied to nurse1717's topic in General Nursing

    21.50/hr I honestly can't think of any hospital in pierce or king county that won't require yucky traffic, unless you lived right by the hospital, then it wouldn't be a big deal. It does rain and is...

  19. new RN salary in washington state?

    buddiage replied to nurse1717's topic in General Nursing

    21.50 Which side of the state? I just moved from Washington state two years ago. The cost of living is getting out of control, as is the horrible growth control and managment, making traffic a...

    buddiage replied to blueberry21's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    buddiage replied to umkcstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to put myself in the bananas category... If we were talking meat group, I'd be nuts.

  22. nurses vs. doctors

    buddiage replied to umkcstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Hi- I'd say... leave out the "vs" and identify thier parts in collaboration. :0) How does the patient get total care? Advantages are going to be purely subjective-- leaving the money out of it, I'm...

    buddiage replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Uhhh, it's hard to say if your sister was joking or not, you know her, we don't. Nobody can make her do anything she doesn't want to. She may suffer from depression or something.... and as far as...
