  2. Do you form outside relationships with your patients?

    I love my cat! replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Never. I have zero desire to. I am so busy with my family, friends and hobbies that I don't need more relationships. I feel that the relationships that I have outside of work sometimes don't get...

  4. I had very poor LVN/LPN training. Anyone else?

    I love my cat! posted a topic in General Nursing

    I ran into a woman who is taking the same LVN course that I took before I got my RN. So, I asked her a few questions. Seems as though they are teaching the same old useless stuff. I say "useless"...

    I love my cat! replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    Is the new mom kitty a young new mom? I am asking because if she is (and it is indeed her first litter), she may indeed ignore the kittens and have zero interest in them. I have seen this before....

    I love my cat! replied to CrazyMommy's topic in Addictions

  10. Nurses with Hypoglycemia?

    I love my cat! replied to mellow.cypriot's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    There are many, many places that are not ok with Nurses taking any type of break, not even to sit for 10 minutes. Now, if you happen to be hired at a place that pulls this garbage, get a Doctor's note...

  11. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    I love my cat! replied to Danielle7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  15. Prune Juice and Psych Patients???

    I love my cat! replied to IamRN08's topic in Psychiatric

    That is exactly what first came to mind. The prisoners actually call the concoction Prune-o. It was hidden anywhere they could figure out a way to conceal it, often moving it from room to room, etc....

  17. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    I love my cat! replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    I love my cat! replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing
