    Wow. Just wow

    TexMex22 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean "receiving" …. And if you know this to be true (that the medication is not indicated) you have an obligation to report this. Otherwise, aren't you complicit in allowing a patient...

    The FIT Nurse

    TexMex22 replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't have tell us you were a new RN. Maybe you could post your business card for personal training. No doubt you'll have lots of old, fat nurses lined up for you to help them. You could be...

    The FIT Nurse

    TexMex22 replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I often have to chase them with a liberal dose of Pepto-Bismol, but they are tasty morsels

    No, We Can't Offer You A Job, But.....

    TexMex22 replied to caliotter3's topic in General Nursing

    If a nurse couldn't find a job, being willing to do home health to get your foot in the door doesn't seem that distasteful. The ad with "bad ass" in it -- well, that's just pathetic. Can't imagine...

    Does Medic Experience Count?

    TexMex22 replied to reyndonn1054's topic in General Nursing

    If this has been answered I apologize: Depending on where you obtained your Paramedic training, some of your courses "might" transfer. The only way to know is to send transcripts in to the school...

    New Grad RN can't find a job

    TexMex22 replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh and if you aren't working at all right now, volunteer --- any hospital, hospice, "free" medical clinic, AIDS clinic, The Red Cross… you get the idea. In Atlanta, there must be hundreds of...

    New Grad RN can't find a job

    TexMex22 replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you really want a job, you may well need to look outside the Atlanta area. I know that's painful to consider, but sounds like reality. REGISTERED NURSE INTERN - NEURO/ORTHO Methodist Health...

    do you think a degree/ education is ever a waste?

    TexMex22 replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say a waste, but with the current economic and job climate you have to carefully consider the cost-vs-benefit ratio of getting a 4-year(+) degree. As you can see from the posts here, there...

    (IN)Appropriate Dress

    TexMex22 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I've only run into this a couple of times as a patient. The NP's were very young and attired more appropriately for after-work (IMHO). Low-cut tops with a bit too much cleavage, really tight pants,...

    I'm an LPN and I understand.

    TexMex22 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No doubt those god-awful LPNs and those horrific ADN RNs will all go the way of the do-do bird soon enough, but forced out? That seems like a stretch. As for school, well this debate is never...

    TexMex22 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ah, so it's only about the doctors. You don't care about your nurse colleagues?

    TexMex22 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'd double or triple like this if I could. I've met more than a few; lots of alphabet soup behind the name, but not a lick of common sense, dumb as a fence post and lazy as the day is

    Not for this one, but found a similar one from 1955 where the pay had increased to $50-60/week! Woo

    Long hair unrestrained at work

    TexMex22 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Just a little history, since you brought it up. Whites were still being worn at some hospitals as late as the 70's. My grandmother was still wearing a white dress with a cap (!) in the 70's. She...

    TexMex22 posted a topic in General Nursing

    After the recent post about long hair I couldn't resist one about "old school nurses." Enjoy. The old school nurse: 1. Still wears her hair ABOVE the collar at work. 2. Knows how to use a bath...

    Students asking for free money

    TexMex22 replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Regarding chronic tardiness

    TexMex22 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I think that's a load of baloney. It's not innate character or beyond their control. They've discovered they can get away with it. Plain and simple. People tolerate it, accept their...
