  1. skirts to work

    HealthShepherd replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    Whoops, that's not what I meant. I agree with you that it's reasonable to assume that people who post about someone they know are telling the truth. But I don't think it's reasonable for you to...

  2. skirts to work

    HealthShepherd replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    That's an assumption - you don't know who anybody posting here "actually knows". Some prefer to make their points with general ideas rather than personal anecdotes. And if you doubt that there are...

  3. skirts to work

    HealthShepherd replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I've always thought it ironic that skirts have a reputation as being more modest or religious than pants, when they're clearly more revealing. I guess it's because pants make it obvious that...

  4. Aye "Dummie". Excuse Me!

    HealthShepherd replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any chance that she really was calling you "Domo?" For example, does she have a dialect that makes it difficult sometimes to understand her speech? I've never heard of the nickname Domo;...

  5. Do you LIKE every patient that walks through your door?

    HealthShepherd replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for commenting, Katie5, but I'm still confused about how this relates to the thread title, and what exactly your question is... or are you here to vent about rude patients, rather than to get...

  6. RPN's in Toronto Hospitals ?

    HealthShepherd replied to suziecue40's topic in International Nursing

    If you want to be downtown, look at CAMH - when I did a student placement on an inpatient floor, at least half of the nurses there were RPNs. Good luck,

  7. Do you LIKE every patient that walks through your door?

    HealthShepherd replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I find it strange that the question is even being asked. Are there people in the world who like everybody they encounter? Or is there a perception at play here that nurses are some sort of angelic...

  8. Please help with case study for Nursing School

    HealthShepherd replied to Ireynolds87's topic in General Students

    Steelcityrn has it right... this sounds like a TV hospital situation. So ask yourself, what would a TV nurse do? The answer, of course, is to lower your eyes and say, "Yes, doctor," then go and shag...

  9. On-line School's and GPA concern's

    HealthShepherd replied to Mariacookies's topic in General Nursing

    What sort of English class are you talking about? English as a second language? English writing skills such as grammar, punctuation, or how to organize an essay? Or an English literature class? I...

  10. I need help with management....*LONG*

    HealthShepherd replied to RNtired's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, with a little more time to think it over, I was able to come up with a couple more explanations: 1. The OP is trolling us, just for kicks. 2. The OP has to write a paper about an ethical...

  11. I need help with management....*LONG*

    HealthShepherd replied to RNtired's topic in General Nursing

    I have a hard time taking this manager's speech at face value. People don't enter into criminal conspiracies with people that they don't trust. So I don't think she was genuine in making this brazen...

  12. A Nurse who doesn't wash hands

    HealthShepherd replied to GFzalez's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I think you do have something to lose here.... it's a tough diplomatic situation when she's more experienced than you and in charge of you. You don't want to get a reputation as a new...

  13. University of Toronto - Sept 2010 Intake

    HealthShepherd replied to FN89's topic in International Nursing

    I don't have any recollection of when I got my acceptance letter from UT (sorry), but I do remember that it said I had two weeks to pay a $1500 deposit on the tuition in order to confirm my spot....

  14. Do you wear your engagement rings at work?

    HealthShepherd replied to SarahBerah's topic in General Nursing

    My unit doesn't allow any rings or watches, and I agree with this policy. Germs aren't

  15. Mandated scrub colors

    HealthShepherd replied to FLOBRN's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital isn't looking at this (as far as I know), but I'd be in favour of colour-coding by role, as long as the colours were reasonable. I.e., no white (impractical), black (death connotations),...

  16. The Impossible Quiz

    HealthShepherd replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for ruining my life Cherrybreeze..... I am stuck at 59, which is an unskippable one and will end the game even if you haven't lost any lives up to that point. Not fair, I say! Any hints, as...

  17. Scary story I heard from some nursing students

    HealthShepherd replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. So did you hear what DID happen to the student,

  18. Help Please... Need 6 nurses to answer a 12 question survey for my BSN.

    HealthShepherd replied to amypink11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi Amy. Did you design this "survey" (i.e., are you able to rewrite it and start again)? I wouldn't call this a survey - it's basically 12 "essay questions", and some are very vague (what the heck...

  19. What do you think of my ESSAY?

    HealthShepherd replied to emrebeth3's topic in General Nursing

    I can't quite agree with that. Sometimes commas are just plain wrong, as in the sentence you quoted - but sometimes they are required, and sometimes they are optional but add clarity. So if you're...

  20. What do you think of my ESSAY?

    HealthShepherd replied to emrebeth3's topic in General Nursing

    as twinner2 said, there are places where the writing style could be corrected and/or improved. here is your paragraph under my (amateur) editor's pen - i have only considered the writing style, not...

  21. Before the Morning (Failed CRNE three times. what now?)

    HealthShepherd replied to yahy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    As an example, look at this program at George Brown College (Toronto); it sounds like one of the purposes of the certificate is to provide further education for people who have had trouble with the...

  22. Before the Morning (Failed CRNE three times. what now?)

    HealthShepherd replied to yahy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Wait a minute... I don't think you have to do nursing school all over again to have another chance! IIRC, you do have to do some kind of formal education before trying again, but I think it's more...

  23. help from fans of FRIENDS!

    HealthShepherd replied to sunkissed75's topic in General Nursing

    Hi again, and thanks for your response. I guess if you want to make the case that there was real pathology involved, then you'll need to find incidents showing not just that she loved order more than...

  24. help from fans of FRIENDS!

    HealthShepherd replied to sunkissed75's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. I liked Friends, and I agree that this component of Monica's personality was funny, but I don't think it's sound psychology to equate a harmless personality quirk with a mental illness....

  25. nurse manager-request to work on the floor

    HealthShepherd replied to trulynurseatheart's topic in General Nursing

    Another possibility would be to challenge her to shadow nurses for a few shifts. That may be safer and more practical than asking someone to take on a patient load without orientation, and I suspect...
