    But, won't you still have to complete a premed curriculum to get into medical school, even if you have a

  3. WHY are nurses so catty??

    kadokin replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for the reply. I have to say in my workplace and at the nursing school I attended, it was SOP to notify your RN co-worker(s) when you would be off the floor so that someone could cover your...

  4. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    kadokin replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    OK. I read this entire thread to make sure this hasn't been covered already. If you want to be a physician, why do you feel you need to go to nursing school? It would seem to me that that would be...

  5. WHY are nurses so catty??

    kadokin replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really? What is the appropriate way to respond to a coworker who "hides out" most of the day? I can see how this particular nurse would have been angry enough to "rip her a new one". That being...

  6. WHY are nurses so catty??

    kadokin replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. Public Misconceptions

    kadokin replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

  11. Why Are Nurses Given Such A Bad Rap Today?

    kadokin replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very interesting thread. I grew w/a mother who was a nurse. She, a times, encouraged me to look in to nursing school. I thought, "Oh I could never do that", after years of working in...

  12. Weekend and holiday work question

    kadokin replied to studentdeb's topic in General Nursing

    At my facility, they pay time and a half for some holidays such as xmas and thanksgiving. I don't remember if 4july is one of those days. Some who work here are puzzled by the fact that we don't get...

  13. Questionable practice

    kadokin replied to JaimeeG's topic in General Nursing

    As other posters have written, good for you. No this is not good nursing practice. Although, the fact that the RN you were with said "you'll be in there every 5 minutes" makes me think this pt may...

    kadokin replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    You go mystery. There is no place for arrogant know-it-alls in healthcare, although we see them every day. They compromise pt safety. NO ONE PERSON can know it all and anyone who thinks they do is...

  21. Unfair promotion?

    kadokin replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, exactly. Then again, a police report could initiate unwanted publicity. In a perfect world, this person would never be heard from again. Unfortunately, if he were promoted to a managerial...

    Amen to that sister, or brother, as the case may be. I USED to think women were the cattiest before I entered nursing!? And I will admit that men are catty in a different way than women are. IMO,...
