    You make a good point leslie. LTC is a different sort of place. Some of those old birds are pretty crusty and you can really let your hair down once you know

    There are some other sites out there for venting. I joined one once called 'Customers Suck', where mostly retail people vent about nasty customers or difficult bosses. It was enlightening. There's...

    How good of shape (physically) do you need to be in to be a nurse?

    FireStarterRN replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    Probably the majority of nurses are not particularly in tip top shape, yet still manage to perform the job well. There are quite a few that are quite overweight and still function just fine. I don't...

    Wrongful Suspension

    I thought you felt like you were unjustly suspended. Aren't you the one who got in

    Wrongful Suspension

    FireStarterRN replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously the 'Head CNA' heard about this from someone. That was either the resident or the CNA who was there. You are seriously miscalculating the existing grapevine at your facility, and as a new...

    FireStarterRN replied to MesaRN's topic in General Nursing

    So, lets imagine, there are 30 nursing students in the OP's class. They are competing for 2 new grad positions in their vicinity. If all the 30 nursing students adopted the OP's highly proactive and...
