  1. What is the least stressful high paying nursing specialty?

    Conqueror+ replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    I knew a few nurses in the PA/NY/NJ area who pulled in 6 fugures. They did work in LTC facilities that were union and worked 4-5 double shifts per week. They weren't stressed because although you have...

  2. 9 Newbie Nurse Mistakes to Avoid

    Conqueror+ replied to Nurse Beth's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't go into a new job criticizing the veterans. Pointing out their mistakes and being a know it all will not end well. And watch out for flying foot flakes when you you pull off socks. Inhaling them...

  3. What is the least stressful high paying nursing specialty?

    Conqueror+ replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

  4. Respect for New Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Taylorgrn15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I started out at 20yo and had a babyface. I was tall and authoratative which helped but my mom told me that when I switched from CNA to LPN I would have to change facilities because the transition...

  5. Are you Facebook friends with your coworkers?

    Conqueror+ replied to BlueDawnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have seen negative outcomes more than positive

  6. How do you lose your license??

    Conqueror+ replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I would like to add that you can smply be working in the wrong place at the wrong time (hurricane Katrina comes to mind). I have seen nurses served up to prevent a lawsuit, to save a Drs butt, and...

  7. Late arriving Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm not presuming anything. My first assumption is that people DO have a life outside of work. When someone tells you that they would be dead in 6 months if they retired it says a lot to

  8. Late arriving Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So some coworkers should receive special treatment based on their personal family/relationship status ? It can't be both ways. You can't say that we are all equal and should be held to the same...

  9. Late arriving Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have worked with them for years. THAT is how I know them so well to begin with. I have spent countless hours in report listening to their stories. Kinda my point. I don't begrudge them living at...

  10. Late arriving Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Only if they find report mundane because that is ALL I want to talk about. I do make it my business to compliment a new dye job/haircut/lipstick/scrub top because it seems to brighten their day but...

  11. Late arriving Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As a stand alone post I am apologizing to anyone offended by my 60 year old snot comment. It was rude.

  12. Late arriving Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In hindsight the comment was rude but this represents most of the nurses I currently work with. What I should have said is that I am too busy to come to work early. Everyone is entitled to their...

  13. Late arriving Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What are you talking about ? This shouldn't be directed at me because I started my post by saying I am NEVER late. Even if I pull up early I will sit in my car until shift time because I am still on...

  15. Late arriving Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And this is a pet peeve of mine. My shift starts at 6:45 and I am NEVER late. I am however, heavily obligated (school, church, toddlers, hubby) outside of work and don't appreciate some 60 year old...

  16. Do you talk to your coworkers alot on your lunch break?

    Conqueror+ replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am a "8 and skate" girl by nature but if the work culture insists, I talk about generic things that have zero chance of becoming personal. In a perfect world I would read and get a foot massage on...

  18. When celebs stop by to say hi

    Conqueror+ replied to adventure_rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Doing good and self promotion are not mutually exclusive. Look at all of the millions given to charity by celebs. The fact that they publicize it doesn't make the blankets and soup any less

  19. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Conqueror+ replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Since the rule of thumb for educational costs is do not spend more on a program than you would earn in a year I feel that the LPN is still a good choice for some. I only spent about $1,000 back in...

  21. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

    Conqueror+ replied to Satori77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Meh. I have done case management, occupational health, psych, and staff development. NO lifting at any time and the case management was all desk/phone/fax/computer. There are as many specialties as...

  24. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Conqueror+ replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students
