    FireStarterRN replied to fsaav's topic in General Students

    Conversely, when talking with students or having them work with my patient, I'd prefer not to hear how I should be doing things, based on what they are currently learning at

    So you all hate nursing?.....

    FireStarterRN replied to averna's topic in General Students

    Just want to mention, I've heard working in a clinic is very fast-paced and stressful, for less pay. Also, if you want to work at a school you probably shouldn't be too negative about bedside nursing...

    Spanish for health care workers (& Rosetta Stone)

    FireStarterRN replied to RN1981's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to get a good audio medical Spanish program. I took Spanish from 5th-11th grade, but never used it much, plus never learned medically specific language. I do find that my attempts to speak...

    Selling puppies out of a pts room

    FireStarterRN replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    When you need to get rid of a litter and are laid up in a hospital, the logical thing is to set up shop in your hospital room with a little sign, a basket and the adorable little pups. Just think of...

    "Some people aren't meant to be nurses!"

    FireStarterRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone else noticed that this is frequently said at AN? Is this the new catch phrase in nursing when talking about other nurses whom we dislike? It's used to describe seasoned nurses who hurt the...

    New RN's attitude toward experienced LVNs.

    FireStarterRN replied to Simpleplan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think CNAs should be relegated to 'crappy computers', either. As long as it's work oriented, why shouldn't anyone sit at any computer? I would never demand that someone get off a computer just...
