    We were all wrong about nursing home nurses

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would love to be able to change that title. It's inaccurate at best. "We" didn't do anything. I have been in the LTC setting so I know how hard it is. Besides, I try never to look down an ANY...

    MD's treat male nurses with more respect?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Bluebolt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because being "assertive" as a woman is often either seen as being "aggressive" or "bytchy". But in men, it's expected and valued. Fortunately, I don't concern myself with such opinions and assert...

    do you think this is rude?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to ssquared123's topic in General Students

    Moved mom out of house: The story continues

    SmilingBluEyes replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    You may be right. I don't know how it will all play out, if it will at all. My family has a history of living long, long lives with very little time in nursing homes. I hope that is how it will be for...

    Moved mom out of house: The story continues

    SmilingBluEyes replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I get it totally. My mother is a narcissist of the highest order and both she and my dad abused me physically, emotionally, psychically. I will have few qualms if the time comes I have to see her...

    Older nurses eating the young? Maybe it's the opposite...

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Gamecock73's topic in General Nursing

    I find that NO ONE is allowed to vent about "nurse eating" on either end without commentary or criticism; however deserved or not. Much more discounted, is the younger nurse eating the older one...

    SmilingBluEyes replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Oh for the love of Pete, don't let this be an older versus younger nurse thread. I have seen inappropriate behavior and attire in all age groups. I have not had to interview for a job in a few years...

    When I worked in the hospital, whoever worked Christmas one year, got it off the next and so on. Now that I work in dialysis, no one works either Christmas or Thanksgiving Day. I will work New...

    This nurse made a point of saying he is male and 40. He should have known better, being ostensibly more "mature'. He messed up bigtime. You don't take a coworker in a private location and cuss them...
