  1. "It shouldn't be that hard to be a nurse"

    jill48 replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire This angers me in so many ways. It's funny that public perception of nursing never really is factual until that person is lying in a bed and...

  5. Letter to Dean??

    jill48 replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Students

    I find it admirable that you want to write the letter to praise the instructor, but I still think it's a bad idea to get into the middle of something that clearly does not involve you and take a...

  6. If you were/are overwhelmed as a new nurse...

    jill48 replied to occc2010rn's topic in General Nursing

    Couple more: Treat your CNA's good. Your CNA's can make you or break you. Anytime you put a call out to a doc, write it down by the phone who you called and why, in case you can't be found when he...

  7. If you were/are overwhelmed as a new nurse...

    jill48 replied to occc2010rn's topic in General Nursing

    1. Take advantage of every opportunity to learn. From other nurses, from doctors, from patients, from CNA's, etc. Everyday is a schoolday, even for the experienced nurses, like myself. 2. Learn...

  8. "Nurse" on Ellen Gegneres today?!!

    jill48 replied to tridil2000's topic in General Nursing

    Hey everybody, check this out! A heated argument and I'm not one of the players! :w00t: I tried to watch the video also; all I saw was a nurse sitting by the bed wearing the older nursing outfit,...

  9. Letter to Dean??

    jill48 replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Students

    Personally, I wouldn't. I don't think you should get in the middle of whatever is going on between the dean and the instructors. I would still be friendly with her. I think it would be a mistake to...

  10. Nutmeg high?

    jill48 replied to occc2010rn's topic in Emergency

    Who was the first person to figure this out? No sane teenager would go looking through the spice rack for something to get high on. Had to be some grandma making zucchini bread.

  11. Good Advice for nubs.

    jill48 replied to first_lobster's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care whether it's newbie or noobie, I just saw nub and I thought we were going to discuss nipples. Oh well.

    That is just

  14. Do you count resps every time you do vitals?

    jill48 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I strongly disagree with this and it really scares me that some nurses feel this way. 1. It doesn't matter how many patients you have or how much you have to do; if it is your job to obtain the...

  18. Do experienced nurses really eat their young?

    jill48 replied to whit717's topic in General Nursing

    Oh dear Lord, this again? Honey, there are a couple of ongoing threads concerning this matter, look at them to find some good input. Bottom line: There are nasty, evil people in every workplace,...

  19. What is it with the nurses in LTC?

    jill48 replied to lilypad2424's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Look here sister, you need to check your bad attitude at the door. Maybe the problem is YOU. Or maybe so far you have managed to get in every nurse's way or make them mad. If you want to survive in...

  20. nurse terminated

    jill48 replied to grandee3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if it's even legal for them to fire you and then expect you to work for 3 more hours. What if you make a huge mistake in those 3 hours; can you say, I'm not responsible- they fired me....

    jill48 replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    that's funny.

    jill48 replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

    You are his advocate. It's sad he has no family, which makes it even harder for you because it sounds like you are his only advocate (on this matter anyway). When I read this I found it very sad,...

  23. Best way to get experience?

    jill48 replied to prinsessa's topic in General Nursing

    I never was a CNA before becoming a nurse. If I had been, I probably wouldn't have gone through with nursing school. If you need to work, maybe it's not a bad idea. But if you are lucky enough to...

  24. My grandma's opinion of nurses made me so happy!

    jill48 replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing
