  1. How do you react to being humiliated by nurses?

    justme1972 replied to Miwila's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm glad she did that...but I'll be honest, don't be surprised if it doesn't happen again. Most of the time, when you don't do anything to defend yourself...you give that person permission to do it...

  2. How do you react to being humiliated by nurses?

    justme1972 replied to Miwila's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    To me, if a nurse cannot keep her professional composure, then that same nurse needs professional help...bottom line. I don't buy into the excuse that people snap at others in a work place (or...

  3. How do L&D nurses REALLY feel about natural birth?

    justme1972 replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can understand how alot of this could happen with a first-time mother...but not so much with a multipara that "knows the deal". What I saw this summer in L&D was doctors expecting labor to...

  4. What's the "real deal" on these Carribean Medical Schools?

    justme1972 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting to notice a higher number of doctors that graduate from medical schools in the Carribean that practice in the USA. Anyone know something I

  5. How do L&D nurses REALLY feel about natural birth?

    justme1972 replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really, really don't know where these women are having babies that are not permitted to choose their birth plan and how they end up with an OB that won't follow it. That is something that should be...

  6. Any nurses out there still wearing a cap?

    justme1972 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Male nurses never have been required to wear any type of nursing caps. Nursing caps are not silly. They are a sense of emense pride to those who wear them and if you talk to any older nurses that...

  7. Is it possible to just get it???

    justme1972 replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in General Students

    The difference between fundamentals and the later part of your nursing program, is that even though the instructors say that you are taking critical thinking tests, technically, at this point in the...

  10. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 posted a topic in General Students

    Just when I thought I was going to be prepared for my exam this week on hematology and oncology. On Monday AFTERNOON, our instructor just happened to mention (via e-mail) that she "forgot" to add a...

  11. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    justme1972 replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that ANY rule can be applied so liberally it's a do or die situation. People have lives, emergencies, etc. For example, my cell phone says on throughout the class..I put it on silent,...

  12. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Oh, keep in mind that I am the ONLY one that is sticking my neck out like this. So many other students in my class are having the same problems I am, but they are just willing to sit back and let it...

  13. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    I hope so too. BTW, I did pass the last exam that I didn't bother to sit around and wait for it to be graded...the one I swore I failed...but I passed at bare minimum, so I didn't get to "make up"...

  14. Dealing with Rude Nursing Instuctor

    justme1972 replied to summersent's topic in General Nursing

    ..these are the benefits of living in a small town and going to school with a ton of nursing students that work as PCT's at the smaller hospitals. It was one of those days where you show up to class...

  15. Would your teacher have failed your IV piggyback for this?

    justme1972 replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

    Be very, very careful about making statements like this. Some people are good test takers and they can get an A on an exam without even knowing anything about the material. When you have only 15...

  16. Staff Carrying Pyjamas On Night Shift!!

    justme1972 replied to adoyo's topic in General Nursing

    I live in an area that has mostly small, community hospitals and some night shift nurses do take naps if they need them. I see nothing wrong with this practice, as long as all are in agreement, and...

  17. Finally Passed On My Fifth Time!!!!!

    justme1972 replied to wishiwasarn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The nurse recruiter told us about a woman who passed on her fifth time that has been working for years at their hospital...and what an incredible nurse she is. She said," ...Just don't ask her to pick...

  18. Does immobility lead to both HYPO and HYPERcalcemia?

    justme1972 replied to boomerfriend's topic in General Students

    Immobility can cause hypercalcemia but not hypocalcemia. The only reason I happen to know this is because I currently have hypercalcemia from hyperparathyroidism and I have done quite a bit of...

  19. Need help immobility test

    justme1972 replied to sle2583's topic in General Students

    I'll be honest...I don't think you have read your textbook. Immobility is always the chapter/unit where they go over the formation of pressure ulcers and the staging of them...this is especially...

  20. School on Probation by State Board

    justme1972 replied to olympia's topic in General Students

    Probation is just that...probation. As of now, they are still accredited. If they do not improve, they will not be. As long as your program was accredited at the time that you graduated, it will...

  21. Adults Who Can't Swallow Pills

    justme1972 replied to Medic946RN's topic in Emergency

    I had the opposite problem...as a young child I hated, and I mean, hated liquid medicine. I would refuse to take it...and even when it was forced down my gag reflex was so sensitive I would vomit it...

  22. VENT.....this really sucks

    justme1972 replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think you misunderstood my post. Letting you go after only 4 weeks was ridiculous. 100%, ridiculous. NICU is a different animal altogether, as you know, and at 4 weeks you are still trying to...

  23. Dealing with Rude Nursing Instuctor

    justme1972 replied to summersent's topic in General Nursing

    On occasion, what comes around, goes around. One of our nursing instructors that I hated from first year, also works full time at a local hospital (yes, she works two full time jobs). One of her...

  24. Poked myself with a syringe

    justme1972 replied to Dakeirus's topic in General Students

    Sounds like an urban school myth...I think your teacher was just kidding and you guys just thought she was serious...which is one reason why no one actually knows of someone that had to do the paper....

  25. Poked myself with a syringe

    justme1972 replied to Dakeirus's topic in General Students

    Suesquatch is right. You were practicing...it was no different that sticking yourself with a sewing needle at home b/c the syringe was clean. However, you NEVER, ever recap a needle after using it on...
