  1. How to avoid burnout?

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

    Here are a few that I can think of::: -Take care of YOU first and foremost! :redbeathe :redbeathe -Don't feel guilty saying, "No, I am unable to come in" if you are called to come in on your day off....

  2. Dangerous nurses

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

    Well said! I remember my Nursing Instructor telling our class, repeatedly, "The day you believe that you know it all, that you've never made an error or that you could never make an error, is the day...

  4. Selling myself while pregnant...

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

    I wouldn't even mention it. Trust me, as much as it might seem like a Professional Courtesy to tell them, I have found that Professional Courtesy is not always

    I love my cat! replied to ciber-1's topic in General Nursing

  6. So im allergic to latex AND non-latex (vynl) gloves

    I love my cat! replied to naide88's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Definitely see an Allergist! Have a skin test and a blood test done. You may have more than just a contact latex allergy. Your allergist should also check for foods/plants that may be have...

  7. Pregnant and no one seems to have any compassion.

    I love my cat! replied to Tiffany, RN, BSN's topic in Operating Room

    You are 100% correct. As harsh as this sounds, many people do not care about anyone else. They care about themselves, their shift, their patients and the hospital cares about their business. Asking...

  8. Nursing and Fibromyalgia

    I love my cat! replied to CaLVN530's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Thanks for your honesty. :redbeathe I can say that I hear this more and more often. People are very judgmental regarding another's pain/dx...until they become sick and disabled with pain themselves!...

  9. Anyone ever been on the Nutrisystem diet?

    I love my cat! replied to DolphinRN84's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I just wanted to say congratualtions for your weight loss!!! There is nothing wrong with taking 8 months to lose 25 pounds. I think it's terrific that you've done that! For many people, the weight...

  10. Pain is NOT subjective

    I love my cat! replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in Pain Management

    Sad, seeing it is Doctors that are providing an individual with the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia! Docs tell a chronic pain patient that this is what their specific complaints of pain/fatigue/IBS/etc........

  11. My two least favorite words

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

    Nazi, as is: Spelling Nazi Food Nazi Tit Nazi Grammar Nazi I dislike: You Betcha and 'nuff said

  12. Hospital Parking

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

    My facility charges for parking, too....and it adds up to hundreds of dollars a year! One reason I will often take the bus or car-pool with my DH. My thought is that if there is such a Nursing...

  13. "You take the BUS to work!"

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

    The guy has some serious self-esteem issues. Anyone that tries to make someone else feel inferior usually does. Who is this idiot anyway? Taking the bus is great! You don't have to deal with traffic...

  14. my husband....the jerk......sorry this is a rant :)

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

    Heather, I am so sorry your husband is putting you through this emotional turmoil. He is acting like a selfish little baby, not a man....and yes, he sounds like a jerk. IMO, I would say you have two...

  15. Can an employer penalize you for calling-in due to illness?

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

    Isn't that the truth!! You're sick and you come into work and almost everyone tells you need to go home now or you should have called in and they seem soooo sympathetic. So, next time you are sick,...

  16. Can an employer penalize you for calling-in due to illness?

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

    From what you have described, your days off are not excessive, IMO. Please, double check the contract that you signed when you were hired and contact your Union Rep. (if you belong to a Union that...

  17. Question for those who receive SSD

    I love my cat! replied to mondkmondk's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Contact the SS Office or visit their website. It is very confusing! I think it comes down to what you earn in each month. During the 9 month trial you can earn (for example) $5,000 a month and still...

  18. How do you find the time to work out while in nursing school? Help i gained 10lbs!

    I love my cat! replied to Tats88's topic in General Students

    I use to walk during my lunch break during school. I could get in at least 30-40 minutes of "power walking". I started on my own and by the end of a few weeks, I had a regular group walking with me!...

  19. would trilangual be a plu$?

    I love my cat! replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am in CA and it doesn't make any difference when it comes to pay. I do see a lot of job listings that only want applicants fluent in English and Spanish. If not, don't apply. So, Nurses who speak...

  20. Do you keep in touch with your old nursing instructor?

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

    I never felt a connection with any of my instructors. They were either total bullies or completely disconnected from the classroom and the students. Well, all except for one......an instructor I had...

  21. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    I love my cat! replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Ya, I am guilty of the above. I am one of those "ignorant & bizarre" members that will (often, but not always) read and reply to the ORIGINAL post in a thread. I feel that there is nothing wrong...

  22. Hurt on job, no pay?

    I love my cat! replied to TsavarenaRN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I would definitely talk with a lawyer that Specializes in Workman's Comp cases. Something sounds fishy

  23. Do nurses talk about their patients when the leave

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

    I am sorry that you feel this way. Feeling self conscious is always frustrating and can be difficult to deal with. Just remember that the vast majority of people are too worried about themselves and...

  24. $8000.00 Penalty for Quiting Critical Care Nurse Residency Program Before 3 Years

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

    I worked in a Hospital that has "contracts" for training employees. When I first came on board with this facility, I signed one. It was for 1 year. I could do that. Then I found out that the 'one...

  25. latex allergy and nursing school

    I love my cat! replied to RDH1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they can, but many choose not to. Many places say that a Latex Allergy is not a disability and therefor they do not have to make accommodations for those affected. I know of several large...
