  1. Discrimination Against Relocaters

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

    I don't see how people being curious about you could be considered discrimination or how you would rank those comments -- intended to start a friendly conversation -- as being in the same league as...

    mazy replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

    Hit the unsubscribe button and move on with your life. No need to keep coming back here and trying to explain yourself, this thread has morphed into something else

  3. Tough skin with a side order of a grain of salt please?

    mazy replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    And then they use that blue liquid and I think "Oh, like, that's what it's supposed to look like." Best commercial

  5. feeling frustrated by AN posts and second guessing myself

    mazy replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

    I have two bachelor's degrees and a master's and I am more proud of my measly little LPN diploma than all those degrees and any prior professional experience combined. I don't see anything "flighty"...

  7. feeling frustrated by AN posts and second guessing myself

    mazy replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

    If despite everything you hear you still want to be a nurse, then it sounds like nursing is in your heart. Can't think of a better reason to be a nurse. You're going in with your eyes open and I think...

    Does anybody remember the thread about the "nurse" who was disciplined for not wearing a bra at work? She said she was a size 40DDD and no one had ever said anything about it to her before. Don't know...

  9. Inappropriate medications for the elderly

    mazy replied to SneakySnake's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I hate seeing elderly patients on haldol. I also question the use of statins in the elderly, the side effects can be pretty significant. Does it really matter if a ninety-year old LOL has high...

  10. Will the nursing shortage ever end?

    mazy replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. That is the #1 tactic of predatory schools to get students in. They'll sell you a rainbow of stories about all the great things you will get if you go to their school, then hit you with a...

  12. I'm going to nursing school-That's nice, DO YOUR JOB

    mazy replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the intent of this post, but not really with the parent/child analogy. My feeling is that the relationship between nurse and CNA should be one of equality and respect. Both are expected...

  13. Will the nursing shortage ever end?

    mazy replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    In 2018 all nurses will be replaced with robots. They've already started treating nurses like robots, so it was only a matter of

    mazy replied to seekinganonymity's topic in General Nursing

    So good to hear that you are moving forward, it is very, very difficult to do. I was also in an abusive relationship. Please make sure you take someone with you when you get your stuff cleared out of...

  15. Ace wraps for edema in foot/leg

    mazy replied to yooperPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I usually do a figure eight, it's just the way I learned to do it. It provides much better support than a spiral, without having to wrap as tightly, and the wraps don't slip around and get undone as...

  17. The Oversensitive... Vent!

    mazy replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really starting to think that there is something in the air. My last week at work has been nothing but people being p****d off at each other. Everyone is snarling and snapping, people that usually...

  18. New Nurse needs help interpreting labs, please

    mazy replied to nycNurse2b's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with this. There is a limit to the amount of interpreting you should be doing. Another thing that is important is to know why the labs were ordered. What diseases does the patient have, what...

    mazy replied to crazyscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    You are living in an abusive home. I grew up in an abusive home so I am able to look back with the eyes of someone who got out and I can tell you that the most important thing right now is to get out....

  23. What is your greatest fear in nursing.

    mazy replied to Yiggs's topic in General Nursing

    My greatest fear in nursing is making one of those "what was I thinking mistakes" and causing harm to the patient. Making a mistake and then trying to figure out what my thought process was behind it...

    mazy replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Forgot my all time favorite solution to the nursing shortage: Force all the old, experienced nurses to retire. They're too slow, they've had their turn, and new nurses will work for a lot less money....
