    Great

  2. My CNAs dont seem to respect me...

    deftonez188 replied to CCFCP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm curious to see how attitudes like that (regarding CNA's being overly rude/lazy) will play out in the near future with our nursing 'surplus' when no job is any longer a given. No one seems...

  3. Just a Shame!

    deftonez188 replied to JJTRN's topic in Government, Military

    What they don't take into account is that your average service 'family' is required to uproot every few years to a new location. My wife (accountant) for example has to find new work at each new...

  4. Navy - Homesteading or single base assignment?

    deftonez188 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hello, Just a quick question for those who know - for those of us nurses taking our first CONUS assignment (new grad), does the Navy offer any type of homesteading (Air Force had this when I was...

  5. Is the nursing experience better or worse than when you started?

    deftonez188 replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for sharing - this is truly an inspiring, illuminating, and educating post. I sincerely enjoy your

  6. I feel like nursing is not my thing...

    deftonez188 replied to neeke816's topic in General Nursing

    I've had days similar to yours, and the resulting, "I can't be a nurse anymore," feelings following thereafter. You will have at a later date, another day in which you feel like a rockstar nurse - you...

  7. What is something from nursing school that has been the most beneficial to you

    deftonez188 replied to almost30's topic in General Nursing

    I was a straight A student, and it took me awhile to get my clinical skills to match, but we all get there eventually. No one is ready 'out of the box.' I think we're more similar than we are...

  8. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    deftonez188 replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    Not saying she drunk or anything of that nature, but they might have a problem that finally crept into their work life they've tried to keep separate for so long. I know this from personal experience...

  11. McFatter LPN Program

    deftonez188 replied to Praying01's topic in Florida Nursing

    Lol they really know how to pick school names don't they? A personal favorite aside from this is University of Maryland University College - they have to say University twice in case you missed it the...

  12. Oakland University (michigan) 2nd Degree accelerated program question....

    deftonez188 replied to AdamsMaMi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I can tell you which one costs more

  13. Male nurses hired faster?

    deftonez188 replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what you're saying, but don't get excited over perceived differences - those of us born in Generation Y and beyond didn't experience the same gender bias growing up, so your new batch of...

  14. The "hospital smell"

    deftonez188 replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in General Nursing

    My wife says I smell

  15. Male nurses hired faster?

    deftonez188 replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    Among male non-nurses there is usually some idea of novelty of having a male around in a 'female' career field - but let me tell you my man, nope. Anyways, this sounds some lame trolling

  16. Military psych

    deftonez188 posted a topic in Government, Military

    This is a question for current or experienced military nurses in psych or having been in psych previous. I've had an interest in psych since my initial clinical rotations in school, and i'm aware...

  17. Military psych

    deftonez188 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    Faraway, Thanks for the response - i'm in the NCP and due to graduate from my RN to BSN program next May, so regarding base picks for increasing my likelihood of psych, which would you suggest for the...

  18. New Navy NCP Selectee Looking for others!

    deftonez188 replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    Updating this thread for NCP'ers - just spoke with my recruiter, we DO in fact get paid our stipend over summer breaks. Just

  19. 14 months on job and feel so overwhelmed at times!

    deftonez188 replied to JMoney's topic in General Nursing

    Take a breath :) Sometimes, there is a perfect storm of circumstances that challenges your ability. Weather the storm as best you can because this sounds like circumstances in which any normal person...

    deftonez188 replied to emmanuil's topic in General Nursing

    You guys are so mean, its OBVIOUSLY necrotizing fasciitis

  21. New Navy NCP Selectee Looking for others!

    deftonez188 replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    I'm prior service AF in the NCP, graduating May 2012 and imagine i'll be going shortly thereafter - wouldn't mind finding others going around this time frame! Could meet up at the base and hang before...

  22. Customer Service at any cost and its effect on burn out and safety??

    deftonez188 replied to PACURN1818's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, call the cops for the kick. If patients want to act like clowns, send em to the clown show (jail). I don't beat them up at work, they best not lay a hand on me where I work. If we called the...

  23. maybe nursing is not for me

    deftonez188 replied to RN_lor's topic in General Nursing

    It IS hard, but as you come to believe in yourself more and gain some more know how, you may feel better about your situation. If not, then by all means seek another area, or even a new career!...

  24. Scared of the future...

    deftonez188 replied to cknorr's topic in General Nursing

    Canesdukegirl, I love seeing supportive posts like these - we could all take something away from your advice, and that empathy is something we could never have enough

  25. Can a 52 y/o nurse join the army reserve nursing corp?

    deftonez188 replied to ally59's topic in Government, Military

    I second getting nursing experience. 19 years of a break is a lot when compared with a new grad they can get with recent experience/ up to date knowledge base. Your age may be a hindrance to getting...
