  1. To grow a backbone....

    PeachPie replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I too used to be a doormat and a victim, but this website gave me a good kick to the cranium. I cried while reading because so much of it was true. I'm also proud to say that I was HB of the week...

  2. I failed the interview personality test/survey!

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Update: (Yes, I'm double posting, sorry). I talked to some people who have been working as techs and clerical staff at this hospital, and they said that the HR department had been slashed visciously...

    Go through the archives of this website. It totally changed my

  4. RN-MD doesn't make sense

    PeachPie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Due to the view of backwards people that nurses are halfway doctors, I'm sometimes asked "When I'm going to complete things by becoming a doctor?" My response to that is, "Hmmm... Dr. Peachpie... wow,...

  5. RN-MD doesn't make sense

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, there's nothing easy about transitioning to MD, I guess smooth, continuous, "picking up where you left off" are better choices of what people think of nursing becoming

  7. Badly Paid Nurse a Good Nurse

    PeachPie replied to foxyhill21's topic in General Nursing

    Pfft most people smart enough to become nurses aren't dumb enough to be doormats and

  8. petty ? about med student

    PeachPie replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of whether or not this med student is a snob, PEOPLE ARE NOT PSYCHIC. A "look" or saying "All right, I'll do it," in an exasperated tone of voice doesn't cut it. All it does is portray...

  9. Scared to be a CNA again

    PeachPie posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I finally got into nursing school (YAY!!!!!) and I'm starting to get job offers to work with hospitals as a CNA. However, my experience working as a CNA in LTC was so bad that it drove me to waiting...

  10. I failed the interview personality test/survey!

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Hehe, reminds me of Julie Brown's "Cause I'm a Blonde:" I took an IQ test and I flunked it of course! I can't spell VW but I got a Porsche Cause I'm blone

  11. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    PeachPie replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHAH I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, with all the concentration on customer satisfaction in healthcare facilities nowadays, this is exactly what patients are at risk for. Most people aren't...

  13. I failed the interview personality test/survey!

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Uh, they asked nothing about patient care, my ability to perform skills etc. All they cared about were the kind of social expectations I'd be expected to perform if I was working at Wal-mart, not if I...

  14. I failed the interview personality test/survey!

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    ^PC answers my glutes. They're the answers or a true proletariet who wouldn't dream of ruining some rich administrator's quest to own the world using a philanthropic facade. Yeah, good point. My psych...

  15. Starvation: A good thing when concerning the Obese.

    PeachPie replied to xt1's topic in General Nursing

    I heard from my nutrition prof that some obese people do suffer malnutrition, plus tons of fluid imbalance. Gastric bypass is basically starvation without a lot of the discomfort, but they still have...

  16. What would you do if you worked with a racist?

    PeachPie replied to Happytocare's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I despise people like these and feel no pity for them when they're sacked for racism in the workplace. Don't worry about this witch. She's far inferior to racially diverse people like me because she's...

  17. "Honey"

    PeachPie replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    If that bothers you, don't ever move down south. The southern hospitality would kill

  18. Found out about CNA's and stethoscopes

    PeachPie replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    We were taught never to hang our stethoscopes or pen necklaces around our necks lest some opportunistic crazy person sees it as a handy-dandy noose for the mean nurse who's obviously trying to kill...

  19. Crabby Old Woman

    PeachPie replied to luv_2_nurse77's topic in Nursing Humor

    If only nursing home administrators would stop hiring only enough staff to meet only the residents' physical needs. The residents who weren't totally senile were bored out of their minds and could...

  20. Hey, CNAs.......got a question for all of you!

    PeachPie replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd hesitate to succumb to technology so completely, as emergencies can and do happen. My nursing instructor was telling me how nurses were scrambling to remember how to calculate gravity IV drops...

  21. Z-Coil Shoes

    PeachPie replied to RN112's topic in General Nursing

    They were worth every penny. I forget the style name, but I got the leather sneakers. They're comfy, stable, and easy to

  22. Catholic hospitals-yes or no?

    PeachPie replied to texascowgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    What about pay? I worked at a Catholic facility, and they justified the crap pay with lectures on how we were doing God's work out of the goodness of our own

  23. Anyone finish shift and not return to job?

    PeachPie replied to StatRNNJ97's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I had just not returned to my last CNA job. That's what everyone else did, mostly b/c they were lowlifes who were hired out of desperation rather than any skills. I did the courteous thing and...

  24. smoke free

    PeachPie replied to mel1977's topic in General Nursing

    I'm all for smoke-free because too many smokers aren't courteous to non-smokers. I wish more smokers not blow it in our directions, actually use designated smoking places, etc. I quit cold turkey a...
