    nadia562002 replied to payday's topic in General Nursing

    could we forego all of that female stuff we must subject ourselves too??? For that time of the year and month, I would rather be a man. Guys only have to drop their drawers every 5 years for a rectal...

  3. Nursing License number fraud question

    nadia562002 replied to kelly2u's topic in Washington Nursing

    OK. This info is too easily obtained online these days through the department of health. I think the agency involved should be held responsible too for not varifying the information. There is just no...

  4. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

    nadia562002 replied to UTRN2005's topic in General Nursing

    I hate nursing diagnosis. THe outcomes and goals in those books are just plain stupid and down right lofty. It seems to me that these statements are rather judgemental and or reaching to make more...

  5. How valuable is Report?

    nadia562002 replied to nptobee's topic in General Nursing

    And then you get that patient who does not fit with report at all. THat has happened to me at least a couple of times. You just have to go with what you see before

    nadia562002 replied to DZcarrie's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  10. How many deaths have you had on your unit since you started?

    nadia562002 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    One of those things I had to mentally prepare myself for before I chose to become a nurse was the potential for death. I know that someone will inevitably die on my watch. We all deal with sick people...

  13. patients who think that nurses should become doctors too

    nadia562002 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had one of those patients recently who seems to think that being a nurse is to be a place where you stop along the way toward becoming a doctor. Of course he does not understand the concept that I...

  14. IS anyone acting as a charge nurse yet

    nadia562002 replied to peaceful2100's topic in First Year After Licensure

  16. nasty patients who whine too much

    nadia562002 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    OK. I have a few more weeks left of orientation. I know that we do not get everything we need in school to succeed. Much of this takes practice. You dont magically come out 100% proficient at the...

  18. Tests during Orientation???

    nadia562002 replied to rosemadder's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had the PBDS assessment too. I think it was a great way to identify strengths and weaknesses without telling you that you are a total idiot for wanting to be a nurse at this hospital. Of course I...

    nadia562002 replied to JHUnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I got a man but sometimes I think I would prefer a doc because he at least has the salary to go with the hours away from home. I am heading for a major teaching hospital soon and it would be nice to...
