  1. Nurses and reality TV?

    ToxicShock replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Thanks so much for the replies, everyone! Lemme go through some of these: This is probably my biggest concern. If I were to be chosen and actually began filming for the show, I don't know what...

  2. Nurses and reality TV?

    ToxicShock replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply :) I think being on Survivor would be fun, especially as a nurse! I wanted to get some opinions on this because I've always been curious about things like this. Some of these...

  3. I made a doctor mad at me.

    ToxicShock replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, good for you! More nurses (well, people in general really) need to stand up for themselves and report bad behavior like this. You are truly an inspiration - especially since you're just starting...

  4. NP discusses MJ on national TV ????

    ToxicShock replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    What if the family wanted the information released as a way to help his fans understand the cause of his shocking death? Would that be a HIPAA violation? I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with the...

  5. You should NOT become a nurse if...

    ToxicShock replied to dani888's topic in General Nursing

    ...If you let your religious beliefs compromise patient care. ...If you have ANY doubts about whether or not you should go to nursing school. ...If you can't stand up for yourself or for your...

  6. Desired Characteristics of Effective Nurse Educators - My Ideal Nursing Instructor

    ToxicShock replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thank you so much for posting this! I've really been thinking a lot about becoming a nursing instructor (in addition to doing bedside nursing and/or CRNA - lots of stuff I'm interested in hehe) and...

  7. Things you'd LOVE to tell the doc and get away with it....

    ToxicShock replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm the only one, or inexperienced, or taking this thread too seriously, but... I don't understand why some of these things aren't said. Some of the comments I've read are completely legitimate...

  8. New grad frustrated, but trapped...in a "profession" i HATE.

    ToxicShock replied to Sparx28's topic in General Nursing

    Not to hijack the thread, but I agree with what you said about the OCD and ADHD thing. It really bugs me when people say that they're OCD because they check to make sure the doors are locked, or that...

  9. Being Questioned by Paramedics? Why?

    ToxicShock replied to jayde_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've read a lot of experiences like these with paramedics. Do they think they're better than nurses just because they deal with emergencies "more"? Sounds pretty arrogant to

  10. How do I emotionally survive caring for a pedophile?

    ToxicShock replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, so I'm not familiar with the laws and rules regarding the profession. But how do you know he's a pedophile? Did he tell someone? Did a police officer tell you? I, personally,...

  11. New grad frustrated, but trapped...in a "profession" i HATE.

    ToxicShock replied to Sparx28's topic in General Nursing

    Quit. If you hate it, everyone else is going to hate you and you'll be even more miserable. This profession isn't for people who can't stick with it. Find something you're truly passionate about and...

  12. How do you handle this?

    ToxicShock replied to guest64485's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh, that's cold! (I love it

  13. A very trivial question about hair!

    ToxicShock replied to amphigouri's topic in General Nursing

    Shoot, I wanna work with you! Do they care much about full sleeve

  14. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    ToxicShock replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    This woman sounds like the anatomy and physiology instructor I had this past winter. Not only would she pull some information out of nowhere, but she would also mispronounce words (and, no, they...

  15. Racist Patients

    ToxicShock replied to Williss2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because people are

  16. Nearly 1 million Californians seek medical care in Mexico annually

    ToxicShock replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't realize so many people were going to Mexico for health care. Canada I can see, but since I don't live anywhere near Mexico, I'm kind of surprised. I hear more about people going to Canada for...

  17. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think you should go with whatever career you think is best for you. If you really want to be a nurse, do it. I would hate for you to get into a RT or RN program just for the sake of getting into a...

  18. Are you aware of how you conduct yourself in public?

    ToxicShock replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't read the whole thread, but I just wanted to say well said,

  19. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks, that makes sense. It's lame that the school would say "160" when it's not actually 160 at all. I guess it doesn't really matter, but can you imagine how upset #152 would be? Ouch. Shannon, a...

  20. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Bull! MCC is notorious for telling people one thing, and then going off to do something else. I know for a fact that Shannon talked to many different counselors at MCC and they all told her what they...

  21. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    152? Where did that 160 number come from? More importantly, why did everyone I spoke to at MCC say that there was going to be 160? If they were "rounding" they should have said 150. What a crock of...

  22. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I knew that this was going to be stressful as well, but that doesn't mean I can't rant about it here. In fact, it SHOULD be ranted about. It's not good to keep in all those feelings of anger and...

  23. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah, I agree that MCC needs to get their act together. I realize that every year they have more and more applicants, but I don't understand why they don't try a more effective ranking system....

  24. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know for a fact that they will be mailing out the GPA/HESI letter this year because I spoke to someone in person last week who said that they will. (Well, I guess I don't know "for a fact" since...

  25. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hahaha oh man, you guys are too much! :chuckle Haha, I can totally picture Biff knocking on Marty's head saying that, too! "Make like a tree... and get outta here!" That has got to be the most...
