  1. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

    Gromit replied to okie2's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Zashagalka (did I get that right?) I agree, and its the primary reason I've refused to bother with ana -even though a couple of my compadres push them almost like they were getting a kickback. I...

  2. Can't stop the nightmares- please help

    Gromit replied to caren19's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Caren, I agree with my compadres on here. You need to talk to EAP. IF EAP doesn't help, talk to a psych or other professional. Don't let it eat at you until you dump the job eventually (you say you...

  3. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    Gromit replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    well, my story stretches out over several years. I was a paramedic in Pasco county, FL., met a nurse there (we went on to get engaged some years later, but the engagement failed (as with all things,...

  4. How did you find out about allnurses?

    Gromit replied to cnelle101's topic in General Nursing

    I found it by doing a search for something else (nursing school related) and something from one of the posts popped up (in another nursing students' page) and they included a link. I came here, went...

  5. kicked out nrsing school-would u fight?

    Gromit replied to hotcoffee1's topic in General Nursing

    I know such instructors do exist. I've never (that I know of) really been on the bad side of a vindictive instructor. Sure, some have had personality issues with myself (hey, we're all human, right?...

  6. Layoffs tomorrow!

    Gromit replied to RNKitty's topic in General Nursing

    I do, absolutely. But its more than that. There are times when you should back down, and times when you should stand up for yourself. I don't like getting walked over anymore than anyone else. And...

  7. Layoffs tomorrow!

    Gromit replied to RNKitty's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly why I left my last facility 9 months ago, and work at the one I do now. That place started calling off the help (I was one of 'em). I was only a semester shy of graduating the RN...

  8. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    Gromit replied to miphillli's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Did I miss

  9. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    Gromit replied to miphillli's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    All I know is that I really don't care to work in the kind of environment where that kind of language is considdered 'common place'. Honestly. I don't put up with it from my patients, or their...

  10. Co-worker was fired..

    Gromit replied to MisPlacedTexan's topic in General Nursing

    Even though Email has gained in popularity, a papertrail (showing that its been sent to several others -this makes it less likely to be ignored, as they will be aware that others also know its been...

  11. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    Gromit replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with RN4 on this. I've seen these people come, and seen 'em go. Rarely ever see 'em next year, though. They are 'non-issues' to me. I certainly don't get all upset and excited about it like...

  12. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    Gromit replied to miphillli's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That is, of course presuming that these people ARE ladies. Just being female doesn't make you a lady anymore than being a male makes us

  13. I am Scared of RN school (Currently an LPN)

    Gromit replied to rasberrikiss's topic in General Nursing

    Get in gear and get on it! You will get the confidence when you actually begin. You had the same fears and concerns when you went for your LPN, I'm sure. At least NOW you have a better...

  14. Co-worker was fired..

    Gromit replied to MisPlacedTexan's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! thats just, wow! not sure what to say. I know I'd write a formal letter to the superiors involved (make sure you list that its copied and forwarded to the other superiors so these people won't...

  15. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    Gromit replied to miphillli's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Most often, I've seen this behavior (the reason for the thread) at the nurses station (or the so-called kitchen where the coffee is, and a second place (other than the nurses station) where nurses...

  16. LPN scope of practice a little too broad?(LONG)

    Gromit replied to chad75's topic in General Nursing

    Dunno where they were (this thread is quite old) but I'll tell you one thing: Makes me damn glad I'm working in the hospital I'm at now! At my last facility, they did have RNs doing things that they...

  17. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    Gromit replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I copy that! Heck, I was raised (and lived it) to believe that NO job was beneath me. Over the years I've done many different jobs, over quite a few different fields. As long as it pays the bills,...

  18. kicked out nrsing school-would u fight?

    Gromit replied to hotcoffee1's topic in General Nursing

    No, it is not. NOT unless you administer these contents (including the air) into a patient. It should be an automatic action to clear the small amount of air in a syringe, before injecting the...

  20. Survey: Should nurses from other countries be recruited to aid in the nursing shortag

    Gromit replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Rep, if you'll pardon me, but in my opinion, Filipino nurses are a cut above. I've worked with quite a few (if you live in central Florida, a LOT of the nurses are Filipinos) and all of them are very...

  22. Does it pay to challenge a test question?

    Gromit replied to luv2yoga's topic in General Nursing

    How true! I scored As and Bs in nursing school, but when it came time to do the NCLEX I blew the first one (came close, ran the test out to 264 questions) but that wasn't good enough to pass. I read...
