  1. How to shut up people who gossip !!!!!!

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    After posting, I did try to change the title, but it only let me change the subject in the initial post. You've never heard of a gossip hag? Trying to nitpick? Hmmm... Great people see the goal/main...

  2. What is the silliest complaint someone has ever made aboutyou?

    PeachPie replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I stand by my conclusion that humanity has evolved into a race of spoiled

  3. STUPID PARENTS!! (vent here)

    PeachPie replied to tgb3rn's topic in General Nursing

    Please try to press further charges. That kid is only going to get worse, as he obviously has no knowledge of right and wrong and no good examples to teach him. He sounds like a sociopath in the...

  4. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

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

    Pardon, they are the PHYSICALLY WEAKER sex who couldn't muscle their way around like men

  5. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

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

    I believe that there is pettiness in both genders, but that they present themselves in different ways. Gaining favor in a work environment is a resource. I once read that males compete for power,...

  6. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

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

    I think that the biggest problem that nurses have is their tendency to be "Morality Vultures." Morality Vultures are Schadenfreude-diggers who take up any opportunity to swoop down and put you below...

  7. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    PeachPie replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    If nurses are doing bedside nursing just for the experience, fine. However, that does not justify the piss-poor attitudes that I've seen and heard about. I worked as a CNA in a nursing home for the...

  8. PT/OT: 100% satisfaction Nursing: 75% satisfaction

    PeachPie posted a topic in General Nursing

    In clinicals the other day, I came across a Customer Satisfaction sheet that reflected how happy the patients (oops, sorry, customers) were with the hospital's services provided. The Physical Therapy...

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, can I please use that? I too dislike people like Holden Caulfield who put themselves in situations and

  10. PT/OT: 100% satisfaction Nursing: 75% satisfaction

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    I can't understand why PTs get paid so much better than nurses. I know that they require advanced degrees, but they have much better conditions and ratios than us. One of the things I blame most are...

  11. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    PeachPie replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Hmph. Doctors pay their dues via the hell of med school and internship. Nurses should too. I was a CNA, and I have sworn never to be above anything. I am aware that I'll prolly be too busy to take...

  12. RN-BSN and Grad School easier than undergrad?

    PeachPie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today, I was venting to my friend's mom (Pediatric nurse practitioner) about nursing school (I'm in my first semester, need I say more?). She reassured me that I'd get the hang of things and that...

    PeachPie replied to ZASHAGALKA's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, kids are more like cancer. In pharmacology, the instructor gave a very amusing lecture on why chemotherapeutic drugs are teratogenic. Chemotherapeutic drugs attack highly mitotic cells....

  17. How Nurses are Viewed!

    PeachPie replied to royr's topic in General Nursing

    I baby-sit. I mentioned to the kid the I'm studying to be a nurse, and she said, "Nurses are women who help doctors." I just about fell over in disgust, but I definately told her a few

  18. They Win!!!(long)

    PeachPie replied to emsboss's topic in General Nursing

    One of the harder lessons in life that I've learned is that some situations will just not work out. I have been in workplaces where I made efforts to be nice and get along, and was rewarded by being...

  19. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    PeachPie replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    In my clinical, there's one of those students who's painfully dumb and annoying (she's flunked all 3 exams so far and plenty of clinicals yet hasn't dropped). She's the type who always grabs stuff out...

  20. Stupid Nurse Trick... Don't try this at home... or work!

    PeachPie replied to TXRN02's topic in Nursing Humor

  22. i decided not to have my son circumcised-need feedback

    PeachPie replied to nursemn's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you!!!!!!!!! I find it barbaric to do that to a baby. Teach him how to clean himself as he gets older, as men aren't taught how to properly clean themselves. That's why you'll find skid marks...

    PeachPie replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

  24. Being an advocate in my own care. . . .

    PeachPie replied to MS._Jen_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I get SADS. I've found that having lots of light helps. I bought a huge UV light that looks like a scanner on end, and it's great. My uncle swears by coenzyme Q10, a powerful antioxidant, which his...

  25. We joke about "old people" becoming obsessed with BMs...what if it happened to you?
