  1. Forensic Nursing (FN): Programs

    Nurseynurseyme replied to sirI's topic in Forensic

    I know there is an online program at the University of California, Riverside. I don't know much else though. Illinois? Can't help you there! Try doing a google search. Good

  2. Heard of Kingman AZ?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to rcleary7075's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Not any more. There was a raid by 8 different law enforcement agencies making up a group called "MAGNET" and about 15 people were arrested about two weeks ago. The local paper (kingman daily miner)...

  3. Hairstles for nurses???

    Nurseynurseyme replied to lovetoday's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agreed. I wear my shoulder length hair up and most of the time in a clip, but once in a while I do a pony since my pony is only about 6" long. I think it looks more professional to have your hair up...

  4. Totally online FNP program: no campus orientation

    Nurseynurseyme replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You may also want to consider Northern Arizona University. www.nau.edu. They have a distance FNP and I believe it is all online. Plus, they are pretty cheap. They are in Flagstaff and cater to...

  5. Stethoscopes

    Nurseynurseyme replied to pattylpn54's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    When I was in school, I consulted a friend with 20+ years experience as an RN about stethoscopes, particularly name brand ones and she said in her experience it did not have to be Littman to be good....

  6. How many patients on days for LTC agency nurses?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to kstec's topic in Agency Nurses

    I work staff at ltc and I have had from 17-34 patients. After handling 34, 17 feels like a vacation! :) But I really like having a long term relationship with my

  7. How bad of an agency would you or have you put up with?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to dave_ohio's topic in Agency Nurses

    Is this independent nurse thing only in

  8. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    As a student I got a lot of that selective hearing from nurses who were supposed to be teaching me during my externship. It was very

  9. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    I actually bought the book online! It was pretty cheap. I thought it would come in handy...if I like it I may recommend it to my ADN program. We were not given assertiveness training. I did not...

  10. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! That is a good idea. When something like this happened to me, I really didn't understand what was going on, I was still in school and I was unsure of myself and I got to the point I was so...

  11. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    Understood. Thanks for the input. Truth to tell I read that and my mouth just hung open. It seemed like he was hovering around denying everyone's experience. I didn't get the point. You've been a...

  12. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    OK, ouch. Well if you don't believe any of it and have never seen any of it then what would be the point of reading threads about mobbing? Just poking people with a sharp stick (verbally) and see...

  13. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    Yes she will! And when she is older she will always remember the nurse that took the time to mentor her. I have had a couple of those and I am so grateful to them! It's so nice to get a hand up...

  14. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    That was a great example of doing the right thing! You saw potential and looked past the immature behavior. You did this employee a huge favor but I'm sure she didn't know it. I think the mobbing...

  15. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    I know, it absolutely blows my mind that there are people out there who have nothing better to do than to sabotage people. As a teenager (a long time ago!) I got a job clerking in a small pharmacy....

  16. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    I think that may be true, however who's to say that one's personal opinion should be the arbiter of this person's career/education? Why not encourage this person and try to help them? If they are...

  17. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    There is something called hostile work environment. Read up on your state's labor laws. If it is happening to you then it may fall under harassment and there ARE laws against

  18. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who graduated RN school with me and she was routed out of a department as a new grad. She just took it, but was back in the facility some time later to pick up her check and she ran...

  19. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a good idea for nursing students to talk about this issue and to make a pact to be kind to novice nurses and support those who will be paying for your social security when you retire...

  20. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    I'm afraid your advice to ignore it and it will go away does not work. I was mobbed as a new nurse and I didn't know what was going on. This represents a change in career to me and I was pretty...

  21. So I'm fired. Again.

    Nurseynurseyme replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    You are a lucky RN. I have a supportive environment too, in LTC. I do want to get more experience elsewhere though. But now I'm kind of afraid to leave!

  22. Nurse Mobbing/bullying

    Nurseynurseyme replied to LuciGirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is sage advice. I was pretty caught up in my own private stuff at the time, burying my parents, going back to school after way too long, moved many miles to get there, etc. For a while I was...

  23. Nurse Mobbing/bullying

    Nurseynurseyme replied to LuciGirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just read this whole thread, I know I am late to the game and all but thanks everyone for these stories! I had never before heard of mobbing. I changed careers and graduated my RN last year and I...

  24. So I'm fired. Again.

    Nurseynurseyme replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa whoa whoa there, cowboy. Firing someone and telling them they "could be" unsafe says to me that this is a euphemism for something else. If the person was unsafe, that would be documented and the...

  25. So I'm fired. Again.

    Nurseynurseyme replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding "fitting in"; that is a very dangerous requirement in a job I think. You are well out of there, in my humble
