  2. To tell or not to tell!

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

    Well if you don't get fired for getting on the NM's nerves by upsetting the unit then those slacker nurses who obviously don't advocate for their patients will make your work life so miserable that...

  3. To tell or not to tell!

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

    If nurse wet-behind-the-ears came to me to "school" me about how to take care of my patients I would not hurt you physically but your feelings would probably take a beating. You would be welcome to...

    Conqueror+ replied to SwoRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  5. How far would you commute for awesome salary?

    Conqueror+ replied to Noahj's topic in General Nursing

  6. The Fat One

    Conqueror+ replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What's with the new ____-shaming bandwagon? I have heard some of these terms and I thought to myself. If I was a **** maybe I should be ashamed. And if I embraced my sluttiness (is that a word?) why...

  7. The Fat One

    Conqueror+ replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wah Wah Wah. Now that I have gotten that out of my system I can comment. I will say that the PC eggshell police make me sick. Every time you turn around they are changing labels and expecting the...

  8. How far would you commute for awesome salary?

    Conqueror+ replied to Noahj's topic in General Nursing

    My max was 1 hour each way but in a no traffic straight line situation. If it involved stop and go traffic and lights I could not have done it psychologically. Had an awesome CD collection and I did 2...

  9. Transcript on hold

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

    Nursing school is stressful enough without wondering if you will get the chop for lying. How will you feel if you get kicked out at the end? $800 is a lot of money and while I disagree that most...

  13. Acing the Interview: Tips for Getting the Job

    Conqueror+ replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I never asked that question to demean a candidate. I simply wanted to know if they had any insight. There is nothing worse than an employee/coworker who is clueless about their faults. Good luck...

  14. Acing the Interview: Tips for Getting the Job

    Conqueror+ replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well I have conducted interviews and I have never hired someone who gave that type of "I'm perfect" answer. While I do work hard I usually phrase my answer like this: "I have a tendency to impose my...

  15. How does anyone do double shifts? I'm tired after 40 hours

    Conqueror+ replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I did doubles but ONLY 3-11/11-7. It was LTC and union overtime laws dictated anything over 8 hours at once as time and a half so.... I did 4-5 doubles per week but I am highly organized, can move...

  18. Cheating in an FNP program

    Conqueror+ replied to elise1180's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My first thought was that these are the same people you see busted for fraud after they are licensed/certified. They get away with cheating for so long that they think they cannot get caught. They...

    Conqueror+ replied to negatron's topic in General Students

  20. I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

    Conqueror+ replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And by responding no I am a real nurse you are no different than the RN's that you are complaining about. How can you fault them for thinking they are somehow better than you when by your statement...

  21. ARNP or Pregnancy

    Conqueror+ replied to 26.2, BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will say from personal experience to keep in mind that school is STRESSFUL and that may not be the best mindset for pregnancy. You also cannot predict your health or how you will feel in general...

    Conqueror+ replied to mclennan's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  25. I am a new nurse and I had a pt make a false accusation.

    Conqueror+ replied to newnurse34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
