  1. Scared to be a CNA again

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ^Oh no, I wasn't insinuating that all black people are rude. I've had problems with all sorts of people about my races. I've had people of all races make races comments about my Asian side, I've had...

  2. Racism in the workplace

    PeachPie replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    While working LTC, I worked with a man who had been in WWII. He was a wonderful old man, but he referred to the Japanese by the typical WWII racial slur. I am half Japanese, but understood that people...

  3. Hey, Managers! What's up with the "weeding out" of good nurses?

    PeachPie replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    So... mind if I ask where these experienced nurses go? I'm always hearing about you vets getting chased out of workplaces in favor of cheap labor, but what happens afterwards. Uh... am I...

  4. !st LPN job nightmare

    PeachPie replied to Ultreya816's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  7. An actual 1955 Good Housekeeping article

    PeachPie replied to MuddaMia's topic in General Nursing

    Yeesh, if my man expected any of that from me, I'd knock his kneecaps out with a cast iron frying

  8. Dealing with a patient who verbally threatens you

    PeachPie replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, most sane people don't get violent, and they certainly wouldn't be as polite about being threatened as you are expected to be to them. If you're such an angel in white, why don't you let them...

  9. It's official, I'm stupid!

    PeachPie replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm to sacrifice oneself is good work ethic? Lessee, a good work ethic for a slave was to unquestionably obey every order, to allow oneself to be bought and sold, and to take beatings with a thank...

  10. Help on RN-MSN process

    PeachPie replied to LiLcBaBy154's topic in Texas Nursing

    From what I hear, someof your BSN credits go towards the MSN program, which gives you a jump start and a faster

  11. Summer Class is Over!!

    PeachPie replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, I took it during the summer. I did all right, and the real secret is knowing how to take the tests (process of elimination, context, etc). Good luck! I hope to see

  12. HCC ADN Students

    PeachPie replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in Texas Nursing

    In my class (also at HCC Coleman), only 1/3 was left after the math test and the 2nd exam. I made it though, and I'm starting clases on the

  13. Does this bother you?

    PeachPie replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    Re: European kids being smarter and more driven: here in the US, education is free and often taken for granted. However, you can always go back to college. Over in Europe, school is much more...

  14. Summer Class is Over!!

    PeachPie replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in Texas Nursing

    I got into the HCC ADN program, and I'm currently enjoying what vacation I'll have till the

  15. Getting CNAs to WEAR GLOVES & WASH HANDS?!?!

    PeachPie replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    Tell them that a resident/patient has herpes, but don't tell them which one. HSV is pretty common (many people have it but never get a flare-up), so it prolly wouldn't be a total lie. While I was...

  16. It's official, I'm stupid!

    PeachPie replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    Amen.

  17. It's official, I'm stupid!

    PeachPie replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    This is an excellent essay explaining why martyrdom is glorified even though it shouldn't be. The most illustriative line is: Hmmm... leaders maintaing status quo by exploiting people who are...

  18. Does this bother you?

    PeachPie replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    I'm all for high schools offering A&P I&II, microbiology, psych, and other prereq classes at the AP/IB level, but not past

  19. It's official, I'm stupid!

    PeachPie replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    There is a difference between self-preservation and selfishness, and people don't realize that you honestly have to put yourself first or you won't be able to take care of other things. Martyrdom is...

  20. It's official, I'm stupid!

    PeachPie replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is what I meant. We are largely taken for granted by patients, patients' families, and the healthcare system because of our willingness and expectations to drop everything and sacrifice our...

  21. It's official, I'm stupid!

    PeachPie replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    While what you did was the ethical thing to do, this "merciful angel" attitude is what detracts a lot of respect from nursing. We're such wonderful angels, healing the sick out of the goodness of our...

  22. Dysfunctional patients, families, and visitors

    PeachPie replied to mshultz's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHA!

  23. Did you make friends in your work place? I mean friends you go out with and stuff

    PeachPie replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    Another reason why I haven't made more workplace friends is because most people are at another stage in life. I'm 21, single, and a college student, while many of my CNA and nurse coworkers have kids,...

  24. My Hands Are A Mess! Which Lotion?

    PeachPie replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    Goldbond.

  25. why all the rudeness?

    PeachPie replied to christymwinn's topic in General Nursing

    Another problem is "Morality Vultures." Morality Vultures are Schadenfreude-diggers who take up any opportunity to swoop down and put you below them, often with a lecture about how the Morality...
