what words do you hear consistently mispronounced.....my pet peeve is when people wish to say oriented, as in alert and oriented, and they actually say orientated....where are they getting the extra a and t......

just read a long thread about lowering the standards etc. for people with special needs. how about cheaters. i went to school with quite a few people who were not only sharing notes from the previous semester, but also test answers, fully written c...

what is the strangest thing that you saw when you were a student...the one that sticks out in my mind is also on the subject of male/female nurses. when we did our ob rotation, the teacher did not/let the male nurses do assessments of the lochia, va...

do smokers really take more breaks. maybe this should be a poll. seems to me that it is not really more breaks, just more smokes. i.e., when someone has to be walked out to the car, stop afterward and have a smoke. when something has to be walked...

never doubted until i actually failed an exam. then i just got stubborn. i had a very hard time in school, but am having a blast being a nurse. sometimes i can't believe how well i get paid for this job that i love............

i agree, i think that people are late for the things that they CAN be late for. i wonder if these same nurses were late for the interview that got them hired. my friend who is spanish tries to use her culture as an excuse for being late to things s...

was typing a ranting tirade about BC and men, but i know that nobody wants to read it. so, food for thought. if men had to take a pill in order to have sex with us, "would they".......or would they make us use the drug free alternative. think abou...

thank you for your kind response to my post. it was just food for thought. one more thing that i thought of after i posted last night is this. this is not an excuse for their behavior (which i find appalling), but could be a reason. at one of the...

management needs to be aware of this, and something CAN be done. at one of my jobs if one is 5 minutes late the staffing office is called, so that they can call a replacement. i would like to see people docked 15 for anything past the time they are...

don't think i understand the reason that they would send you to a med-surg floor, if everyone is clear that you will be on OB. med-surg is not understood in 7 days. at the risk of being unpopular, are you sure that your attitude during this time is...

i think i am weird.....by first grade my kids were able to get themselves up (cool alarm clocks). eat (cereal and milk, no cooking or knives allowed), and out without me .....of course we carpooled.....so, i get home about 12, have a set routine, hot...

if you want to do it, do it.......i was afraid of needles, got over it.....i mean petrified....some smells still gross me out, but white flower oil under the nose helps. you will probably see hardly any blood (er excepted), more bodily fluids other ...

no a's due to broken finger.....my nephew nd his wife h d b by die this j nu ry....you m y remember me..the b by h d hlhs....my question is, how soon before they should try to get pregn nt g in.

careful with the melatonin....read up on it

am typing with one hand......breaks....yes....but only the dinner break, not the 15's. as far as the 30, i don't wear a watch and i don't watch the clock. some days my dinner break is short like 10 minutes, and some days it is an hour. at my med-s...

read a very good book about this. i talked about the stages...in recognizing that right now you are in the honeymoon and i can't remember the other 5 stages, but one is disillusionment and depression. the previous ideas given will help.......
