    nurseaboveboard replied to heaverboo's topic in Orthopedic

  3. Just Plain Nasty Mean. What Would You Do?

    nurseaboveboard posted a topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever worked with anybody that just seems mean spirited? Doesn't single anyone out, all are fair game! Calls co-workers names just as everyday greeting? Not sure I should say the names, but...

    nurseaboveboard replied to RNinJune2007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think when I took my boards it was a day and a half of testing, preset number of questions, everyone had the same. I believe it was the first year for the comprehensive board, 1982. Anyone remember...

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    You kids all keep me laughin' I'll tell you that! I'm not sure if people have complained about this co-worker just to me, or if anyone has actually gone to management. If they have, it wasn't...

  8. The crowd was there to show support for SB 840

    nurseaboveboard replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    WOW! This is a HOT thread, in more ways than one! I'm a "bootstraps" person myself and believe that we have no more rights than we can shake a stick at. In the WISH FOR IDEAL WORLD maybe yeah, but the...

  9. Just Plain Nasty Mean. What Would You Do?

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks all! These are some good ideas, some of which I've tried, some not. You know, after 12 hours of it, it does feel like harassment. I need to find out if others have made complaints (other than...

  12. Any NP's not practicing and if so why?

    nurseaboveboard posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just curious re this subject. Co-workers wonder why in the world a person would work so hard for MSN/NP degree, but I'm really not excited about it. Did a brief stint with a company that I thought was...

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, tazzi, thanks. Most of us have tried the usual stuff. Some say "well, that's just ----." but others have told me they don't care at all for it. I actually have told this co-worker how I feel,...

    nurseaboveboard replied to rmelvin's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my gosh. I have been following this thread. I cannot think of anything that would make me more angry then to have somebody use my ID to steal drugs! Plus, I work with terribly ill cancer patients...

    Oh My Gosh, I'm ONLY Fifty-three! How Am I Going To Figure Out WHAT To Say To My Patients Without A SCRIPT??? Been through it. Thought it was ignorant then and think it's ignorant now. I have NEVER...

  17. Why are you a NP rather than an RN?

    nurseaboveboard replied to kellilou3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello everyone. I am currently in my 2nd class of msn/np program. I am not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it, or what opportunities I'll have. Too early to think about it. I work full-time, go...
