  1. Opinion about autism

    PeachPie replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, whatever autism is found to be linked to (vaccines, increasing rate of preemies, antiperspirants, genetics, Dog knows what chemicals, older parents), I won't be surprised. In OBGYN, we...

  3. My first young-eating experience

    PeachPie posted a topic in General Nursing

    The other day, I had my first and last day in newborn nursery clinical. The nurse was a real pusher, and I learned a lot because she assigned a lot of work to us. However, she was also rude and...

  4. My first young-eating experience

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the support guys. Among the reasons I didn't speak up 1) I was tired, hungry, stressed, I wanted to go home ASAP, and knew that my actions in this already cranky state might not have been...

  5. My first young-eating experience

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys. Prior to this, the healthcare staff have been nothing but wonderful. I have sworn that when I am a nurse, I will return the favor to the future generations of nursing students. Yeah,...

  6. Why are RN's so fat!

    PeachPie replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are like cops: They get injuries from the job, which makes them more sedentary, which in combination with convenience food, makes them

  7. customer svc the norm?

    PeachPie replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    I'm all for the customer always being right, as long as they're taking responsibility for their own actions. A spoiled brat diabetic insists on eating ice cream? No problem. Comatose people don't...

  8. Working with the gossip queens.....

    PeachPie replied to Elaine_RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I keep to myself and don't poop where I eat. When someone tries to start gossiping, I'll say, "Please don't talk to me unless it pertains to work," or, "Why don't you tell her that to her...

  9. why should doctors be paid higher

    PeachPie replied to etinosa's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind that docs have to pay malpractice insurance, pay back incredible loans, pay for staff if they are in private practice, give up massive portions of their lives, etc. You couldn't pay me...

  10. "You're gonna need to learn Spanish...."

    PeachPie replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. As aforementioned, when I was traveling, I at least carried a bilingual dictionary at all times, and didn't expect people to go to inceomvenience themselves for my benefit. I hate overtly...

  11. "You're gonna need to learn Spanish...."

    PeachPie replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Houston, and I have become a master of pantomiming, sketching, broken Spanish, and gestures. I took some Spanish, but once you know one Latin-derived language language, or at least a grasp...

  13. When staff accuse resident's of being racist?

    PeachPie replied to LadyMonteCarlo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh dear lord yes. I am half white, half Japanese. When I was 11, a guy called me J*p, Ch*nk, g*ok, etc, every day while making slanty eyes. One day, I looked him in the eye and told him that him...

  14. When staff accuse resident's of being racist?

    PeachPie replied to LadyMonteCarlo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A 97-year old black lady once called me a n*gger and told me to quit looking at her p*ssy while I was changing her brief. I'm so pale that my veins make me look like a zebra. Go

  16. Difficulty with a CNA

    PeachPie replied to NurseWi_JennJenn's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, this is what you get when you utilize barely educated people to do such important jobs. Don't get me wrong, I was a CNA once, and I knew many wonderful CNAs, but I've met too many who...

  17. Difficulty with a CNA

    PeachPie replied to NurseWi_JennJenn's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen sooooo much hypocritical racism. While working LTC as a CNA, I was one of two white people. Even though they were quick to accuse the one nurse with a backbone of racism, I sometimes got...

  18. backstabbers, 2-faced coworkers

    PeachPie replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    The HBI site is flipping incredible. I recommend it for men and women alike. HBI is not just a feminist website that points out women's own shortcomings that limit themselves in the working world,...

  20. stuck between nursing and medical school

    PeachPie replied to youngEd's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you limiting your choices to med school and nursing school? There are so many other fields, like PT, OT, nutrition, etc. If you're unsure of which field to go into, why not consider them all?...

  21. backstabbers, 2-faced coworkers

    PeachPie replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the biggest problems erupt when people try to be buddy-buddy. I live by this essay and it's done wonders for

  22. Will I fit in with the other nurses?

    PeachPie replied to fascinoma's topic in General Nursing

    What occasions would call for bringing up your geek girl lingo in the workplace? As long as you stick to your work, I doubt that most topics would come up. I too am a geekette with a rhetoric that...

  23. Before you quit a bad place.......

    PeachPie replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing
