  1. Older Nursing Students

    Mahage replied to Neats's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey, don't worried about being the old lab partner! If it was like it was for me, they all love being the one paired with you because you will be the one who is always prepared and much of the lab...

  2. LATERAL Violence. How Nurses treat Nurses!

    Mahage replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lamaze, I think maybe you misread the post. Please read it again.

  3. LATERAL Violence. How Nurses treat Nurses!

    Mahage replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh NO! This is definately NOT lateral violence on your part. The pregnant LPN was totally out of line. Her behavior was a very clear example of the carnivorous behavior which is so damaging to the...

  4. LATERAL Violence. How Nurses treat Nurses!

    Mahage replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have seen a few bullys give a hard time to male students and very new hires. It generally takes the form of talking about them behind their backs and making derrogatory comments about their...

  5. LATERAL Violence. How Nurses treat Nurses!

    Mahage replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally agree with you. However i have found that different responses work for different people at different times and situations. I can be cool quiet and a pretty harsh all at the same time if i...

  6. Are You Popular At Work?

    Mahage replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately it has been my experience that as a group we are more apt to say it about them than to their faces, "bless our collective hearts!"

  7. LATERAL Violence. How Nurses treat Nurses!

    Mahage replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    yes, you can change your behavior by bearing your own fangs or you can change your work place which is neccesary sometimes, when the place is so toxic and has so many carnivores that no one no matter...

    Mahage replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    You said it all! A big thank you.

  9. Know it all Nurses

    Mahage replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    It amazes me that people are so quick here to note the "newbies" who are know it alls! The "know it alls" that I find really hard to take are the ones who when you ask an honest question like policy...

  10. Threatened to be Fired for "patient safety" issues.

    Mahage replied to crimson and clover's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I hope all this has turned out well for you. You were definately in a toxic environment. Yes you made some mistakes but you should have been counseled and re-educated since you obviously did not...

  11. What's the dumbest remark you've heard yourself make...

    Mahage replied to KidsRNstill's topic in General Nursing

    The craziest thing i ever did was to take a blind patient to the door of the dialysis room and expect him to find his own chair. In my own defense i was not a nurse then, hadn't even worked with many...

  12. What's the dumbest remark you've heard yourself make...

    Mahage replied to KidsRNstill's topic in General Nursing

    As a student nurse I was thrilled to be able to hold the leg of a young hispanic woman who was finishing a hard labor. The young husband was in the labor room and was very supportive of his wife. The...

  13. Smart pen - recorder?

    Mahage replied to Hotflashn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have one and as long as you don't run into any glitches it is wonderful. Problems are the battery would run down, and it was not holding a charge well. Come to find out, my computer had not gat...

  14. Finally, a GOOD shift on a BAD floor!

    Mahage replied to SummerGarden's topic in First Year After Licensure

    your situations sounded just like mine early on. only difference was i never knew i could say no! i just took it and ran with it. the particular charge nurse that pulled those stunts seemed...

  15. LATERAL Violence. How Nurses treat Nurses!

    Mahage replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well I don't know how long you have been a nurse or how many codes you have been in, but I can tell you that i have worked about a year and a half and I still have yet to be in a code and when I am,...

  16. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    Mahage replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sheune, I am so sorry. I just knew you had passed. Your plan to take it easy for a whle and then hit it hard is a good one, but don't wait too long to retake it. I would also advise you attend a prep...

  17. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    Mahage replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would say you have nothing to worry about. Your run down on the types of questions you got sounds just like mine as best I recal. I am not a good strategist but am generally a good test taker. When...

  18. Considering dropping out of FNP program

    Mahage replied to Mahage's topic in Post Graduate Students

    llg, I suppose I saw no need to state what to me is obvious, I have been going to grad school studying to be a family nurse practioner. I had intended to go to med school at one time but it is...

  19. Nursing Practicum

    Mahage replied to AMarie85's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many situations where the right thing to do is vague. Sometimes it depends on knowing your doc and you couldn't possibly know the doc well enough at this point to make some of the...

  20. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Mahage replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Non profit, egaddddd, that means a tax break......you are getting awfully close to working for a socialized institution. Truely, no insults are intended, but I find that you have a tremendous number...

  21. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Mahage replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    so you would rather continue to pay for someones private jet and caviar who "deserves" it rather than pay for meds for the "undeserving?" That does not compute.

  22. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Mahage replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Do not work your hand free when in restraints and stroke your nurses body as it will certainly get your restraints tightened up. Don't spit your meds out accross the room, they may be your pain

  23. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Mahage replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Do not immediately scream at your mother's oncoming nurse to make sure mama gets taken care of, it could get security called on you.....do not pack 8 people inside a room and 26 outside the door and...

  24. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Mahage replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't say you use antecdotes, but that you discount antecdotal examples automatically. Nor would I discount studies done that are two years old. You seem to discount anything that counters your...

  25. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Mahage replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Honnete, You discount antectdotal evidence sited which contradicts yours, why gripe about references? I haven't seen any of yours that are two years old which are so clear. It seems that you will...
