   The Hated Consultant replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately our society today is so litigious, you have to CYA at all times. It sucks and it's stupid, but you did what you had to do. I agree that this man was assaulted and HIS wishes had to be...

3. Only a third of nurses willing to have swine flu vaccine: poll

   The Hated Consultant replied to CityKat's topic in Disaster Preparation

   No thanks. I'll skip this one. This hurried up band aid of a vaccine has been rushed into development and approval by people running around in circles flapping their arms screaming something must be...

4. burnt at 24?

   The Hated Consultant replied to rosesarered's topic in Health, Stress Management

   I can totally sympathize. I did office nursing for a while several years ago. I got SO SICK of dealing with people. People on Medicaid who couldn't afford their dollar co-pay, but who could be...

5. Going In Circles

   The Hated Consultant posted a topic in Nursing Career

   Or, am I just too old a dog to learn new tricks? I've been at my present job for almost 7 years. Up until now, I've enjoyed my work. Like any job, it has its days where I scratch my head and say...

6. Do you/ did you have a Nurses Cap? Pin?

   The Hated Consultant replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

   I had both a cap and a pin. The cap was one of those traditional cardboard things you see on TV; I tossed that stupid thing the minute after I graduated. I absolutely hated wearing it; it constantly...

7. To Tell or Not to Tell

   The Hated Consultant replied to Novice1's topic in General Nursing

   It's not necessarily an employer's business why you have a gap. People have to not work for stretches at a time for a variety of reasons. If they ask directly, tell the truth with as few words as...

8. Considering nusing school - advice?

   The Hated Consultant replied to momof3amk's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I'm 42 and just started with The College Network. I'm an LPN, and I'm taking the courses for the ADN. I figure after I finish and am working with my ADN I can continue on and take the courses...

9. fellow nurse, small error...what to do?

   The Hated Consultant replied to BigMar's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   Why not go to the nurse first, give her the opportunity to tell her side of the story, then go from there? It's entirely possible she doesn't realize she did something wrong, and you could use this...

12. Nurses Smoking

    The Hated Consultant replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    What somebody chooses to do with their own body and time is not my business. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke, and choke up when I get into a cloud of it, but it's still not my business. What...

    The Hated Consultant replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I had a lot typed here, but I've cleared it all out, because I'd probably get kicked off this forum if I posted it. I'm a NURSE, but apparently without the RIGHT letters behind my name. Talk about...

    The Hated Consultant replied to Jacobero's topic in General Nursing

    It may be petty of me, but yeah, it bothers me. Verbiage aside, I worked my tail off to get to where I'm at right now. It bothers me when "nurse" is used as a generic catch all for anybody in scrubs....
