    mazy replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    Homework? Again with the

  4. LPN/RPN leadership role

    mazy replied to RPNgee's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are you saying that you will be acting as a charge nurse? Because that is going to be very difficult to pull off as a new LPN...or even as a new RN. I would be suspicious about working in a facility...

  5. Do you ever get tired of hearing this phrase?

    mazy replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    It makes me completely

  6. Odd requests

    mazy replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  7. Don't Know What To Do.. (Prospective Student)

    mazy replied to UmmIdontknow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been scouring this site trying to figure out who offended you so, but can't figure it out. But I did go back and reread your posts, and what caught my eye is that you are interested in going into...

  8. Don't Know What To Do.. (Prospective Student)

    mazy replied to UmmIdontknow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i disagree with your point here, and it is something that comes up a lot with nursing students and new nurses. compassion is a part of the job of nursing. but providing compassionate care to anwhere...

  9. How important is it to accept extra shift work?

    mazy replied to onthemark's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think they are going to invest all that energy into training you and working with you through your probation only to terminate you because you don't pick up extra shifts. If they are short of...

  10. Was asked if I was bisexual?!?!?

    mazy replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Or...don't assume you're having sex with your husband, or only your husband, or with another woman, or with another couple.... The possibilities are endless. I wouldn't want to be the provider trying...

  11. Was asked if I was bisexual?!?!?

    mazy replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've seen a lot of that recently, I think it's just part of an effort to provide more comprehensive care. Lately, part of the assessment I've been getting is questions about ever being forced to have...

  12. Job interview that made you want to run?

    mazy replied to Glenna, LPN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Always trust your gut. If you don't need the money don't take the job. If you do need the money don't take the job. Sounds like a nightmare. I've walked into facilities for job interviews and had such...

  13. Nope, you're not going to die tonight...... says the hospice nurse

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in General Nursing

    That would have been great. So many better ways to have dealt with this, but the public is so poorly equipped to deal with death and dying and probably would not have recieved the message in the...

  14. It's not always about you - a mini rant

    mazy replied to emtb2rn's topic in General Nursing

    I see what you did

  15. Nope, you're not going to die tonight...... says the hospice nurse

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in General Nursing

    Could be that the nurse has good assessment skills and is doing a good job of comforting the patient. But I've worked with too many nurses that say "Mr. so and so is getting ready to let go but it's...

  16. Nurse charting stuff she did not do.

    mazy replied to Peetz's topic in General Nursing

    There are times when I think the best solution is to talk to the nurse before talking to administration, just as a sign of respect. But having seen a patient die of wound sepsis because a nurse didn't...

  17. Need STAT advice ~lowball job offer~

    mazy replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Salary websites are not really accurate, as salaries can vary depending on region, facility, benefits offered, and differentials, experience level, desirability of job, etc. etc. Mainly they just show...

  18. Don't Know What To Do.. (Prospective Student)

    mazy replied to UmmIdontknow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that you are overthinking this. You've raised some concerns here, people have offered some opinions and advice, but the bottom line is that you are the one that needs to make the decision that...

  19. Is this a system flaw?

    mazy replied to MonkeyLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I also had trouble following the post but realized a few sentences in that this had to be a PT/INR because of how incredibly tightly regulated those protocols tend to be. Does your facility use a...

  20. I'm not 'getting' this. Should I be RN?

    mazy replied to croppyRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think this is a good point and I remember being in that place in my head. I knew enough to know that things had to be done a certain way but I also knew enough to know that I wasn't there yet. Very...

  21. Don't Know What To Do.. (Prospective Student)

    mazy replied to UmmIdontknow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you have a lot of issues going on with this. You don't like all the negativity on this site, but your post is full of all the negatives you percieve about nursing: poop, shaving, your...

  22. I'm not 'getting' this. Should I be RN?

    mazy replied to croppyRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would say that there is a difference between getting along with the people you work with and being friends with them. Learn to do your job well, focus on the patient, and the rest will fall into...

  23. I'm grateful for you crusty old bats

    mazy replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    The student who posted that already has a million gajillion on-going threads on this site about her clinical instructor. Not content with all of that drama, she has now decided to hijack a thread that...

  24. Surviving a passive aggressive co-worker?

    mazy replied to TheOracle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That would be horribly wrong for her to do that. Unfortunately, I get the impression, from reading some posts from male nurses, that you all have to put up with this kind of treatment a lot. It's not...

  25. I'm grateful for you crusty old bats

    mazy replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree.
