  1. Are you happy with your job?

    Satori77 replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    That is very interesting. I guess I can see why many nurses would enjoy L&D...patients aren't sick, most days have pleasant outcomes, cute little babies. But I am not interested in working...

  2. Co Worker and snide comments

    Satori77 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with the other posters about documenting everything, and filing a report. Definitely set up a meeting with managers and HR. Also, do not confront this woman. Do not allow yourself to be...

  3. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Satori77 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, interesting thread... I am a very small 32B (try finding that size, probably just as hard as the really large ones), and I always wear a bra when I am out, at work I also wear a tank top under...

  4. migraine faker at the ED!

    Satori77 replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    Does benedryl really work for a migraine?? I understand the reglan because I am often nauseous when I get migraines, but never heard of benedryl. I have some for allergies, maybe I will try some...

  5. The things you never forget...

    Satori77 replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    A couple of these made me laugh, a few made my jaw drop...but most of them made me cry. Not get teared up, but tears streaming down my face, couldn't see the monitor cry. Thanks for this wonderful...

  6. Medical Marijuana for RN's

    Satori77 replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I personally think it should be legalized as well, even if only for medical purposes. I haven't smoked since I was a kid (and have no plans on it, unless it is legal, then maybe), but I don't think...

  7. Will I be neglectful and selfish?

    Satori77 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the other posters. My mother (also a nurse) makes me feel guilty for wanting this as well. She was home with me and my brother until we were both in school. I have a daughter in...

  8. Am I Crazy Changing Career At 33

    Satori77 replied to toobig's topic in General Nursing

    If you are crazy, then most of us in here are too, so you are in good company. I am 31 (will be mid-30's by the time I finish) and I am one of the younger ones in here. It is never to late to follow...

  9. What's Your Passion?

    Satori77 replied to alwayslearning08's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if there is just one area I am interested in, but there are a top few. I certainly know areas I would not enjoy...but then again, I haven't started nursing school yet, so never say never. I...

  10. Specializing

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Operating Room

    It makes sense to know a little bit of everything, and you would be more marketable that

  11. How to handle an abusive surgeon?

    Satori77 replied to aquarius1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OBMDPHD, wish there were more surgeons like

  12. CRNA Hates me

    Satori77 replied to brookorrn's topic in Operating Room

    I completely agree....some people have a little more knowledge and/or power, and they let it get to their head. The CRNA in the OP is on a power trip, and should be put in his place. Is is not his...

  13. ccconline micro

    Satori77 replied to hopefullysoon's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The website is www.ccconline.org, and there are many colleges involved. The majority of Colorado community colleges, actually. You just choose one and apply at that college. You pay for it through...

  14. CRNA Hates me

    Satori77 replied to brookorrn's topic in Operating Room

    So you make over $100,000 a year as an OR nurse? Because that is what a CRNA makes. I know that from doing research on CRNA's (on this site and others) and from personally knowing a

  15. Pros & Cons of starting starting school as an LVN to be RN

    Satori77 replied to giddee78's topic in General Nursing

    I am really considering this route, and you have pretty much stated every reason I have been thinking of it. I am tired of these waiting lists for ADN, doing pre-reqs, when I can get started this...

  16. CRNA Hates me

    Satori77 replied to brookorrn's topic in Operating Room

    Sorry, but I disagree...you are not on the same level as a CRNA. Yes they are nurses, but I beleive (am not 100% sure) that they first need a BSN. And I know that they need at least 1 year, usually...

  17. Specializing

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Operating Room

    Thanks everyone. I thought most OR nurses specialized, but maybe that isn't the case. Do you think it would be better to only work in a couple of areas and really know your stuff, be more...

  18. Arapahoe CC Spring 2009...who's with me?

    Satori77 replied to GoBear's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I wish...I won't have all the prereqs done by this December. But I heard ACC is a great program, so good luck. And please keep us updated, would love to hear how it is

  19. Arapahoe community college New wait list requirements

    Satori77 replied to kandamom's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thanks for posting this. A friend told me they were changing it, she took the NA class at ACC, but plans on going to Regis. ACC is one of my top schools to go to. I better get my butt in gear and...

  20. What is the average age of people entering nursing?

    Satori77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Another thread got me thinking about age when it comes to nursing. Is there such a thing as too young to handle the awesome responsibilites of nursing? I know it depends on the individual, and...

  21. Status of the Industry

    Satori77 replied to Flightline's topic in General Nursing

    That is a good question...wish I had an answer. I was recently talking to a nurse where I live, and she was saying that the nursing market was saturated here (in Colorado). But I know every time I...

  22. Embarassing...

    Satori77 replied to momwithajob2's topic in General Nursing

    Some people just bruise easily. I know I bruise with every shot, every time I get blood drawn. Heck...often when I am changing I notice new bruises on me, I bruise that easily! All I have to do it...

  23. What are you thankful for?

    Satori77 replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse...but I am thankful that I found this place. The people here are amazing and inspiring. That at 31, I finally know what I want to be grow up.

  24. I'm only 22 years old.

    Satori77 replied to oncologynurse77's topic in General Nursing

    Oncology is a very demanding and intense field in nursing. It takes a strong individual to deal with it every day. I am not sure I could do it, and there is nothing wrong with you if you can't...
