1. Nurse story

   yotoc replied to rph3664's topic in Men

   It was a joke Leslie. I still think you're wrong and we have every right to stand up for ourselves and let the patients know that their behavior is not only inappropriate, but will not be tolerated. We should also be able to do that without calling...

2. Nurse story

   yotoc replied to rph3664's topic in Men

   Thanks to both of the last posters. I was starting to think I was crazy and had no business "intimidating" patients that acted like idiots. :)

3. Nurse story

   yotoc replied to rph3664's topic in Men

   There is a small, but very important difference between bullying and intimidation. I jumped into this thread because you started off saying the pt was bullied. I still fail to see where telling a pt that his behavior is unacceptable translates into...

4. Nurse story

   yotoc replied to rph3664's topic in Men

   Of course it was because of his size. As long as the guy said or did nothing intimidating, then he wasn't being intimidating. The patient was probably an obnoxious coward and of course he's not going to make those remarks to the "large nurse". Tha...

   So any tall, overweight guy that says anything that isn't flowers and sunshine is "bullying"? If a tiny blonde girl said the same thing to the patient would that be "bullying" as well? "We don't harass nurses in this hospital," is not bullying. "If...

   How exactly is that bullying? When did it become ok for patients to act like animals just because they're sick?

7. Hesi Scandal at my School!

   yotoc replied to yotoc's topic in General Nursing

   I meant that it gets out to the other nurses that we have to work with. A nurse just asked a classmate of mine last week what was the real story on the reason the class president (me) skipped graduation in protest. This is a nurse that should have ...

8. Hesi Scandal at my School!

   yotoc replied to yotoc's topic in General Nursing

   Exactly! That's the problem, I've said all that to myself already. In the end, it doesn't matter. Buuuuuut. It not only sets a bad precedent, when the word gets out to the community about this it's going to make the entire graduating class look s...

9. Hesi Scandal at my School!

   yotoc posted a topic in General Nursing

   At the end of my last semester in school we were required to take and pass the Hesi exam with a score of 850 in order to graduate. This exam and the review course we were required to take cost us $275. If you scored below an 850 you had to reschedul...

10. Husband wants to try nursing at 44

    yotoc replied to mstigerlily's topic in Men

    Yeah, it was great until one day one of the peppy 18 year old girls told me after I'd given her some help with something, "It's nice having you around, you're like the dad of our class." I'm only 34! To the OP, I say go for it. I just finished sch...
