  1. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A little late to the game, but I like the word "strumpet." Has a nice old-timey ring to

  2. Antibiotic

    mazy replied to bheh14's topic in General Students

    This is a good point. We're dealing with different organisms now, or more resistant types of older organisms. A way to approach the question would for the OP to do some research on the common types of...

  3. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to meet up with one of those posters in real life. Would she seem like a perfectly normal person going through the day-to-day? Just with a simmering rage under...

  4. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The thing about those kinds of threads is that I just don't even know what to say. There was a thread running about someone who had hearing problems. She was talking about all these issues she was...

  5. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I bit. That thread went from zero to completely crazy in only two posts. Usually takes a little bit longer than

  6. Overwhelmed....I feel like giving up!

    mazy replied to rnwannabe77's topic in General Students

    If you are working full time and going to school full time then you have a very good reason to be stressed and overwhelmed. I know a lot of people say they were able to work full time in school, but I...

  7. Which Job Should I Go For First?

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

    I'm not sure from your post if your plan was to seek employment in a hospital as an LPN or later when you go onto the RN. But in most parts of the country, hospitals are not hiring LPNs any more and...

  8. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think your brain is muddled with all the likker. It's your first commandment. Not amendment.

  9. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Probably not, but it will definitely count as 100

  10. Has anyone heard of something like this before?? Input please!!

    mazy replied to gottagetmyrn's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't sound legit. But you could call the BON to find out, or sometimes the BON will have a list of approved programs on their site. A semester-long CNA course also doesn't sound necessary. You...

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're getting this backward. You can't become a doctor and do a brain transplant. You have to get a brain transplant and THEN become a

  12. Illegal Activity by a Nursing School?

    mazy replied to missmina's topic in General Students

    It sounds like a lot of vague information and accusations, that may or may not have some basis in reality, sent out by a disgruntled employee. I don't know why he would send out a mass email like...

  13. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Or the ones that go HHHHEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!Please read ASAP! And then ask a question about what study guide to buy, or which is the best kind of stethoscope. Because school is starting...

  14. Will I be at a disadvantage?

    mazy replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I have been dead for the past few days as well and I think I might actually be sleeping right this minute, so forgive the stupid question, but did you do the CNA course? I'm not sure of the training...

  15. I want to curl up in a ball and cry

    mazy replied to JenniferA428's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that this happened to the OP. I agree that 30 calls was too much, and she had unrealistic expectations about what the hiring process entailed. The only job I got hired for immediately was a...

  17. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

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

    In regards to the vet tech, who has a lot of relevant experience that she seems eager to translate into "human" experience, if anyone thinks that handling demanding patients and families is difficult...

  18. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

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

    Bottom of the barrel? Really? Last resort? Seriously? It takes a special kind of nurse to work in LTC, and just because someone is determined to work L&D or ICU or ER or any hospital position does...

  20. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

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

    Every now and then, on a slow newsday, I'll see an article on the internet about what not to say at an interview, and I am astonished at the things that people say and do and wear in interviews. And...

  21. Dilemma in clinical?

    mazy replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    Patients do have the right to refuse care. It is also possible to find a way to handle a situation like this but it usually takes some floor experience and a knowledge of the history of patient/staff...

  22. Why do people insist that there is a nursing shortage?

    mazy replied to MissNancy's topic in General Students

    A lot of those jobs are not actually jobs that are hiring. Most of those positions are for facilities that are going to hire internally, they're just putting the notice out there for external...

  23. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How about the polls? As in "I have to make a critically important decision about something that will affect the rest of my life, so I'm going to put up a poll for everyone on this anonymous, public...

  24. The Mockery of Nursing

    mazy replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well I just woke up a little while ago and I had the most bizarre and unpleasant dream that my house was infested with bugs. I woke up really shaken, wondering why I would dream something like that...

    Only the ones that are fomite-free. It's a real pain picking those fomites out of your
