    My horrible hospital stay. What would you do?

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to Carebear77's topic in General Nursing

    Why did you wait for an hour? Maybe they were testing you and since you didn't call back for that long they assumed you really weren't in pain? Stranger things have happened. Now is the time 'that...

    How come a foreign nurse can find a job but American nurses can't?

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to misterno's topic in General Nursing

    I bolded the part that I agree with completely. However, how did the OP know which case it was? I would love to have her talent for

    How come a foreign nurse can find a job but American nurses can't?

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to misterno's topic in General Nursing

    A little off topic but I have been a citizen for over 18 years and there is not a week that goes by that people don't ask me "where are you from, how long are you here, you speak good english....?"...

    Orienting woes!

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to KeechieSan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    These are NOT the regular mistakes that new grads make and that are "normal" - these mistakes reveal a serious lack of education. This is 'deadly' serious and you need to think about the patients...

    How do you politely walk away or say no?

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to Buggus's topic in General Nursing

    "I'm sorry, I cannot accomodate that request at this time. I have other medical priorities to attend to". It's cold and robot-like but saved for the really demanding. To the run of the mill ME-type...

    The case of the missing pens: A rant and an idea

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I just need to buy big, bright ones so that they're easy to see when I misplace/lose? I think since they're all similiar - it's easy to snatch up or get lost in the clutter. How about syringe...

    One Of The Saddest Things I've Seen... Can't Stop Laughing

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, does anyone need help in removing the stick up your ***? It must really be uncomfortable. It's obviously not funny. To the OP: I know what you mean. It's terrifying. I survived my orientation and...

    Well, I'm In...Now What Am I Going To Do???

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Students

    Saunder's and Mosby's seem to be popular with folks. Try to get ones with CD included so that - when you want to have a quick review, u can without lugging the huge book

    Well, I'm In...Now What Am I Going To Do???

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Students

    I would recommend buying a NCLEX review book and at the end of each semester - review the chapter(s) that pertain to it. Ex. if you just finished a med-surg semester - look at the medsurg review...

    Hello ALL nurses, I hoping you could clarify something for me or tell me about how your system works wherever it may be. My previous job - there were no teams - the LPNs would ask whichever...

    Bad Decision -- Huge Amount of Debt, Need Advice

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    Compassion required???

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to jellyfishmafia's topic in General Nursing

    That's ok as long as you keep as your thoughts/feelings don't become actions. I have never heard of a nurse volunteering to do it for free. EVERYONE cares about the money and those that say they...

    Bad Decision -- Huge Amount of Debt, Need Advice

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    This will be hard but it can be done: I don't know if you live near your parents - but I would move back home and live with them for the next 1-3 years if they are ok with it. This is no time for...

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to mnrb_mdn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only reason someone would even THINK about doing something like that is because they got to get away with it before. No person, in their right mind, who is worried about consequences would do...

    Patient hygiene-How far is too far?

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to derikajames's topic in General Nursing

    If you have any qualms about that I wouldn't recommend that you get into nursing. I could say that you could go somewhere like OB where you only care for women, or community nursing where you are not...
