    I see the value in this article, but, "When you work for an organization, you not only represent them while you are working, but outside of work as well." Um, no. Just no. I am an employee not a...

  6. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    gypsyd8 replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    We have a winner! I was wondering when this would devolve into typical high school backbiting. I also noted all the other replies saying, "we talk about you nursing students." I am sure some people...

  7. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    gypsyd8 replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Nurses are not waitresses. A hospital is not a restaurant. We do not "serve." When taking care of patients we work as a team; there is no distinction between nurses and "regular staff." We are all...

    Protect the image of nursing? What image is that? A graduate nurse can be "quality" regardless of tattoos or jewelry. This nursing instructor is living in the nineteenth century. If nursing is like...

    No. This nonsense is not what nursing is about. This is about the furthest thing from what nursing is

  11. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    As a person with other degrees possibly coming in from another profession, I can see how the nursing school BS is kind of difficult to fathom. That is how the medical world is, unfortunately, with...

    gypsyd8 replied to iluvgusgus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Binary, how many different types of suppository do we usually give? It's either APAP or a laxative. Thr only trouble I can fathom if it's belladonna &

  18. Fired during probation... what now-- more than 1 yr RN

    gypsyd8 replied to Looking_for_sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    gypsyd8 replied to michaelvgrigsby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I believe that is what they advertise. I have seen ads for diploma mills that say "become a nurse in as little as 12 months!" I worked with someone who went to one of these programs. He was a good...
