  1. So, what's all this talk abou manipulation?

    I'm still a little "wet behind the ears" so forgive me for asking a silly question. I have been reading threads here in this section, and I was wondering how the inmates tend to be so manipulating;...
  2. Is it ever okay to speak up for yourself...

    Is it ever okay to speak up for yourself if a doc tries to get hostile with you in public? I have a big ego, and I don't allow anyone to disrespect me, and likewise, I hate to see other people...

  8. "fundamentals" of note taking

    I use those books. The DVDs have been a Godsend! Even though, I can point out a few things that they do wrong (i.e. reaching over a sterile field). I love them! I have excellent instructors,...

  11. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    I hate when the male nurses on my unit refuse to work with female patients b/c they are a "man" and "the patient won't be comfortable working with a man." If the patient isn't comfortable, I'm pretty...
  12. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    Yeah, that bothers me, too. We actually just had an inservice on this, b/c our hosp has had a lot of MN injuries due to this. Though men do tend to be stronger than women, they aren't, as you said,...

  14. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    I've had a male pt tell his nurse that I was flirting with him, and it made him uncomfortable b/c his wife was present. I was not flirting with him at all, I was just joking with him just like I do...

    Note that I said "on my unit." This is in no way intended to attack the entire male nurse population. That's
  16. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    So, are you saying that you agree with these guys? If someone is that paranoid about working with female patients, then maybe nursing isn't for him. A patient could just as easily falsely accuse...
  17. I can't believe she said that

  18. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    She has actually tried to reason by saying that the male nurses' could handle the men b/c they were heavier:no:. Not even. Mind you, these are all seasoned

    I have had pts offer money to me a lot of times. I had one family member and his wife who gave me money ever night before they left. I would try to hurry up and leave the room before he hounded me...
  20. I Got Accepted!

    Hello! I just got accepted into an LPN program. I start in August. The plan is to transition into my RN ASAP after completion. Can anyone tell me what to expect? What were your experiences? What...

  25. North carolina LPNs

    Where did you do your LPN program? What is the average starting pay for an LPN in Nc? You don't have to state your exact pay, I'm just curious. I start the program in August, and I was told that...
