    kadokin replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    See there, folks, this is the way to make the best of a less-than-ideal situation and still make good memories. We are NURSES, for heaven sake, we've been to hell and back a thousand times. What's a...

    kadokin replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked many jobs (single, married, childless, w/children) where I had to work holidays before I became a nurse: Commercial bakery, convenience store, food service. My point: the only way to...

  13. Ever had a nurse or doc as a patient?

    kadokin replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking from personal experience, when it is your family member who is in a life or death situation, you just can't be detached and objective. And if you are in the healthcare field, you know just...

    kadokin replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    What? What? What? I smell a fish here. I wonder what your nurse/pt. was up to. She knows

  17. Ever had a nurse or doc as a patient?

    kadokin replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    That is exactly why I don't tell the staff I am an RN when myself or a loved one is hospitalized. They tend to assume I know more than I do. I want to hear everything you tell your other pts, b/c...

  18. Ever had a nurse or doc as a patient?

    kadokin replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    What an eye-opener:uhoh21: I hope you told some one in authority about these imcompetents (frauds, actually). That is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Then again. Maybe if it was charted, that means...

  19. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

    kadokin replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

    OK. Just so you know, I didn't originally use the phrase, "pay your dues", just quoted it from another post, maybe yours, I don't remember. My point was, EVERYTHING can be a learning experience for...

    kadokin replied to Franlpntorn's topic in General Nursing

  21. Your employer's policy re: *snow and ice*?

    kadokin replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    So. You're supposed to risk life and limb AND break the law to get to work. That is ridiculous. Did your employer stop to think about the lawsuit your family might consider for loss of life, wages,...

  22. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

    kadokin replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

    It's not just the medical field, my friend. Name one profession where newbies DON'T have to "pay their dues". I sincerely believe you learn a lot (if you are interested in learning at all) by doing...

  23. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

    kadokin replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ. Part of what a student learns from gathering data before actual clinical time is the process of gathering the data. You can't learn how a chart is set up or where in the chart to...

  24. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

    kadokin replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

    She was supposed to come in, too. As I stated earlier, I enjoy teaching students and give them a lot of info and tips when they are on the floor. I didn't aim to shoot this girl down, but I wasn't...

  25. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

    kadokin replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, she was lazy. She had about a 15 minute commute, no kids, and no dying father. She pretty much told me she "just didn't want to come in". Myself, as a nursing student, had any where from a 30...
