  1. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    PANurseRN1 replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Why on earth did you go back to that

  2. Nurses don't eat their young!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Valerette's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And I have dealt with insolent, unprofessional young nurses, too. That doesn't mean I stereotype that group. What a shame you cannot do the

  3. Nurses don't eat their young!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Valerette's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you had to bash experienced nurses, could you not do so in one of the 50,000 million threads already in existence here? Did you have to choose the "once in a blue moon" positive threads to rant yet...

  4. Nurses don't eat their young!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Valerette's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you! It is wonderful to read a thread like this, after thread upon thread bashing experienced/older nurses. I think attitude has alot to do with it. Your positive outlook will serve you well....

  5. Socialized Medicine sure is scary.....

    PANurseRN1 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    National pride can be the cause of much ignorance. With all the "Rah Rah, USA USA!" posts, do people not see that perhaps there are some things we can learn from other countries? Our way is not the...

  6. Can this contract possibly be legal?

    PANurseRN1 replied to paigeRN1962's topic in General Nursing

    OMG. They haven't happened to have nurses who died under suspicious circumstances, have they? I'd be afraid to sign that contract...someone might whack me, LOL! Seriously, don't sign it. Find another...

  7. 1 year ICU schools

    PANurseRN1 replied to mammothsnw's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks. I'm not even considering becoming a CRNA, but since I work in surgery and ED I come into contact with CRNAs on a daily basis. Some of the "How can I do it quick and easy?" posts scare

  8. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    PANurseRN1 replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Funny how someone with a screen name "cookielady, rn" is judgemental about nurses with weight

  9. Do You take your patients out for smoke breaks?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, and if they get mad, too bad so sad. I didn't sign up to breathe toxins when I became a nurse. The time I spend taking a pt. out to smoke could be spent on someone who is truly

  10. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    PANurseRN1 replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    No one said that all skinny nurses are incompetent. A skinny nurse can be incompetent. So can a heavy nurse. A heavy nurse can be highly skilled. So can a skinny nurse. You are the one who suggested...

  11. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    PANurseRN1 replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Now you have a problem with people who are overweight or smoke? You have another thread going where talk about your problem with "older" co-workers. It's not really appropriate to be judging others...

  12. Young being eaten..by medical secretaries?!

    PANurseRN1 replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    I stopped reading as soon as I got to "my two biggest problems are older women..." Ageism is ugly. People of all ages are capable of being inappropriate. Labeling one group as problematic is wrong,...

  13. Medical Assistant student

    PANurseRN1 replied to amberleigh32's topic in General Nursing

    Not true in my area. If LPNs are replaced by anyone, it's by an RN. It would be unworkable to have MAs in the hospital setting; there really wouldn't be much they could do, and I can't imagine any...

  14. Medical Professionals Abusing Drugs

    PANurseRN1 replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    Mmm hmm. Now the story started to change a little. As far as not being able to leave because someone else drove, there's always a taxi, call a friend/relative to come get you, or if all else fails,...

  15. Does ED have a bad rep for mean nurses?

    PANurseRN1 replied to noelle4's topic in Emergency

    They didn't like you because you were "attractive"? That prety much tells me all I need to

  16. Medical Professionals Abusing Drugs

    PANurseRN1 replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    I had similar thoughts. This doesn't pass the smell

  17. Medical Professionals Abusing Drugs

    PANurseRN1 replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    Excuse me, but why did YOU stay at a party where people were taking illicit substances? If YOU knew people were impaired on the job, why didn't YOU report them? And do you know for a fact (not via a...

  18. Catholic hospitals-yes or no?

    PANurseRN1 replied to texascowgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    Wonder if that facility covers Viagra,

  19. Disney Culture in Hospitals

    PANurseRN1 replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yuck.

  20. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    PANurseRN1 replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't need any nursing theorist to tell me what my common sense tells

  21. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    PANurseRN1 replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yep, it surely is a shame that hospital admin. chooses to be penny wise and pound

  22. Nurses Being brought in from another country

    PANurseRN1 replied to KTYRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's not a problem, and I doubt most people would have an issue with this. There's a big problem, however, with nurses from another country who hang together and speak their native language other...

  23. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    PANurseRN1 replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's easy to sit back and criticize when you're all fat and happy in your current position. I'm behind the nurses. You should at least have a choice; perhaps the premium for a plan that offers...

  24. How safe are IUD's?

    PANurseRN1 replied to eng_nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Perhaps we should stay on-topic here and not turn this thread into a pro-life/pro-choice/"when does pregnancy actually begin?"

  25. Replacement-Nurse Company: Undermines Progress

    PANurseRN1 replied to nyforlove's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Well, since you missed it, here's a link to get you started:
