  1. I wish I'd have known....B4 nursing school

    gypsyatheart replied to ARmickie's topic in General Nursing

    BACK to the ORIGINAL question! :) I wish I had known that I wouldn't know how to be a nurse or really, anything about nursing 'til I started working...it took that 1st year to really get my feet...

    gypsyatheart replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

  3. Why is it... (nurses constantly throw jabs at physicans)

    gypsyatheart replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing would be wrong with that, my dear, if that truly were the case...which it is not. As I said, you are supposedly a nursing student....you don't know anything about the "reality" of being an RN....

  4. Why is it... (nurses constantly throw jabs at physicans)

    gypsyatheart replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    OK, Ms. or Mr. Student Nurse, I really must interject here! You truly have no idea, none, nada, zip, zilch as to what you are talking about! How pretentious you sound! I really must excuse your...

  5. No good deed goes unpunished

    gypsyatheart replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that might get them to clean up their act. At least train their employees and encourage more professionalism. Good luck!

  6. No good deed goes unpunished

    gypsyatheart replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Well, do you have a local news channel who does expose type of stuff? YOu know, like a "local" John Stossel? Bring it to their attention, usually cameras and TV people get some notice. It sounds like...

  7. Requirements to become PA

    gypsyatheart replied to THEsunnygurl84's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other poster...if you are going for your BS in nursing, why on earth would you change horses in the middle of the race, so to speak, and try and become a PA. You could simply continue...

  8. Urgent HIPPA News!

    gypsyatheart replied to Cutie's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree, I believe it is aimed, as well, at the individual healthcare worker. HIPPA applies to everyone in the healthcare

  9. Mom of 3 trying to go back to school

    gypsyatheart replied to MYAgirls3's topic in General Nursing

    It might actually be easier if you wait 'til your kids are all in school. 2 and 4 are awfully young, (so is 6yo) BTW. They grow so fast and nursing school is a full-time plus comittment. And if you...

  10. Good or Evil?

    gypsyatheart replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. I believe the OP is actually a re-incarnation of a former "member"...re-appears every few months or so and posts these deliberately inflammatory or obnoxious posts. Gets off on getting...

  11. A Nurse's Lifestyle

    gypsyatheart replied to Lauren3249's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, to a new grad, perhaps in your 20's, making 30-40,000/yr sounds great. Especially if you haven't had much of an income to start with. However nursing is not a profession to go into "for the...

  12. Dress or scrubs? Females ONLY!!!!

    gypsyatheart replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    If a co-worker wanted to wear a dress, I could care or less. However, for myself...no way! Not at work, they are way too uncomfortable! Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I've seen...

  13. I Just Graduated--I won't be going back!

    gypsyatheart replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    BIG sigh! Yeah, you said it, SBE. Anyway, me thinks this sounds very "familiar".....if anyone cares to remember that far back.... At any rate, congrats! You graduated! Now you can experience the "real...

  14. Cell phones

    gypsyatheart replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we had these big, bulky cell/or whatever phones at a previous hospital I worked at. How annoying...ours had no option but on/off, loud annoying ring. We would get calls repeatedly! And they would...

  15. Nursing School And Outside Work?? Help!

    gypsyatheart replied to srhdaw's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to allnurses, Sara! To answer a couple of your questions....if you do not have to work while you're going to school then don't. Consider college your full time job. Most college freshmen do...

  16. Medication Aides

    gypsyatheart replied to R.L.Silva's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY! In my area there are Medication Aides for LTC facilities and DD facilities. In clinics there are MA's or Medical Asst.'s. They attend a training course at a community college type place and...

  17. Job Title??

    gypsyatheart replied to ARmickie's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters, cybercat, I think you just said it like it is. ARMickie, I am sorry for your loss, and I know a lot of your reactions are coming from your grief and your families'....

  18. What is the best field for just LPN

    gypsyatheart replied to andreaJ's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of the LPN's I know work in clinics....Pediatrics, OB-GYN, GI, etc. Some work on the general med-surg floor. I work in NICU and L&D and at this time these areas do not staff with LPN's. If...

  19. The way people can be just amazes me

    gypsyatheart replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, those people are speaking out of jealousy/envy! Don't let it get you down! Just remember, when your class is over these people will be long gone and you're on your way to bigger and better...

  20. Problem tech- she keeps telling pts she's a nurse.

    gypsyatheart replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY! This is my thought...someone is over the NM. I would go straight to the top, plus, like another poster said, I would set this tech straight. One more incident and you won't bother w/NM,...

  21. Horrible breach of personal confidentiality!

    gypsyatheart replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! What an ordeal! I would be soooo angry as well! However, I guess I'm missing something here, are there 2 friends...a "friend" who called the lab, and yet a 2nd "friend" who gave out the info? I'm...

  22. Would you assist in abortions?

    gypsyatheart replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Again, sorry suzieq, but as far as I'm concerned, a fertilized egg is just that, a fertilized egg. A lot has to happen before the embryo becomes a fetus, and then for the fetus to reach viablilty....

  23. Would you assist in abortions?

    gypsyatheart replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You hit the nail on the head fergus, like I said earlier, everyone has an opinion, doesn't make it a

  24. Would you assist in abortions?

    gypsyatheart replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry, suzieq....really it is "if you feel like it's murder"....it is not a "fact" that abortion is murder. Perhaps you feel that way, and I respect your opinion. Many do not feel as if...
