  1. Frustrated and considering a career change

    Scrubby replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    Boog'sGirl724 -My apologies, I see from your profile that your an LPN so you ARE a nurse. However......I don't understand why it bothers you so much when RN's complain about their work...

  2. Frustrated and considering a career change

    Scrubby replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    The point I'm making here is that you can't control how anyone decides to text, just as you can't control a person's response to your post. Also, if you really hate text speak that much, well perhaps...

  3. Frustrated and considering a career change

    Scrubby replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    Well theres not much you can say really because your NOT a nurse and have no idea about what it's like to be one. Maybe when you graduate, you may find yourself struggling in your first year. You...

  5. I need help: a nurse not prepared for the job

    Scrubby replied to amateur's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people on allnurses don't really understand the definition of an internet troll. I read another thread recently where a young man was called a troll for being worried about his...

  6. Being a Team Player

    Scrubby replied to trixie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work at the bedside but in the OR we have usually 3-4 nurses to each OR. There are some nurses at my work that I dread to be allocated with. They do the bare minimum that they can get away...

  7. What is considered the most serious,risky surgery?

    Scrubby replied to beachbutterfly's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm this is a really hard question to answer. A Ruptured AAA repair and a Cerebral anaeurysm repair are pretty high risk cases where the patient may not have a good

  8. What would make you feel appreciated on the job?

    Scrubby replied to LumpyLooRN's topic in General Nursing

    How about management stop taking advantage of the good nurses who do stay late all the time and work the extra shift on their rostered day off. Obviously these nurses are totally exhausted having to...

  9. Do you ever feel guilty about....

    Scrubby replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I spent the entire day today perusing the internet and watching tv. I don't feel any guilt at all because I know come Monday I will be running around liked a blue orificed fly all

  10. You should NOT become a nurse if...

    Scrubby replied to dani888's topic in General Nursing

    Anyway you should not become a nurse if your too judgemental. Of course nurses are entitled to personal opinions but as we live in a diverse society we should respect other peoples values and belief...

  11. Of Kittens and Computers

    Scrubby replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wonderful story. I'm a big softie for animals, all my pets are rescue animals. My cat is from the pound, my sister found my dog running around on a freeway in Victoria and now I have him, my other dog...

  12. RNs / Student nurses slapped in the face

    Scrubby replied to sofia*26's topic in General Nursing

    If I even suspect someone is violent I will not go near them. I didn't become a nurse so I could be physically assaulted. Silvergirl-How disgusting some people really are. What a horrible thing to...

  13. LATERAL Violence. How Nurses treat Nurses!

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

    I have had to change my approach with some people. I was getting a bit snappy with some nurses because quite frankly they were lazy and making me run around to fix everything.These days I try and make...

  14. Speaking of sitting and charting

    Scrubby replied to NotFlo's topic in General Nursing

    Rather than complaining about it, why don't you just simply be assertive and say that you need this chair to do your charting. If you don't stick up for yourself you'll just be walked all over by...

  15. Question about time and stress management

    Scrubby replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

    It is important for a nurse to be able to manage their time effectively and deal with stressful situations. You shouldn't be taking an hour to do something that would take most people 15 minutes. And...

  16. Things you'd LOVE to tell the doc and get away with it....

    Scrubby replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    I actually agree that if a person truly HATES their job and it affects their life to the point where it's impacting on them physically and emotionally it may be necessary to look at other options. I...

  17. Suture help

    Scrubby replied to Apollonia's topic in Operating Room

    The biggest problem as far as I can see is this surgeon. People who are learning should not be yelled at, ESPECIALLY when you are handling sharps. Next time he yells at you let him know that you are...

  18. Im Having a hard Time Deciding if I want to be a RN.PLEASE HELP I NEED ADVICE!!!

    Scrubby replied to Angela.Tris24's topic in General Nursing

    There is much more to nursing than poo and infections, but it is a reality of our job. I work in the OR, most of the time I don't get a code brown but occassionally...well we have to clean it up. It's...

  19. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    Scrubby replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    There is a medical condition referred to as fish odour syndrome, Trimethylaminuria. I worked with a girl who suffered from this and management could not do anything about it. Some of my coworkers were...

    So glad to have your approval Virgo! Anyway this thread has well and truly been hijacked.

    Scrubby replied to hollyandsky's topic in General Nursing

    Yes they may indeed have issues. But I'd prefer not to contribute to

  22. help with a cheater please!!!!

    Scrubby replied to hollyandsky's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't want to read a post because it's incredibly difficult then why is it so important to even make a comment about it? Maybe a private message saying something like 'look about your post,...

  23. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    Scrubby replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's a tough issue because it's so personal and could really hurt someone to point out that they smell. However, it's also unfair on patients and coworkers to put up with someone with bad body...

  24. help with a cheater please!!!!

    Scrubby replied to hollyandsky's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any problem with people saying that they can't understand the OP very well. In fact after reading the OP I would probably have said something myself. What I do have a problem with is tone...

  25. help with a cheater please!!!!

    Scrubby replied to hollyandsky's topic in General Nursing

    It's really quite sad that you felt the need to continue nitpicking even after reading the original posters explanation. I guess it must be hard for some people to be polite and ask nicely instead of...
