    yetanotheramanda replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    wow, i think you really hit it on the head with that statement. i would never, not for one second, but up with such abuse on the street or in my personal life. at work we are expected to take it,...

  4. English as a second language Nurse, How did you guys overcome fear of bad grammar?

    yetanotheramanda replied to Datu's topic in General Nursing

    as other posters have said, your grammar seems fine. I am continually surprised (in a bad way) by the poor grammar of native English speaking doctors and nurses. I can't imagine anyone but the...

    yetanotheramanda replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I had 2 babies in the NICU (not twins, 4 years apart) before I ever went to nursing school or had any idea of what was going on. Yes, I was scared to death for my babies. But I never, not once,...

    yetanotheramanda replied to NurseStephRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I'm at work, I'm all about love, support, and compassion. I mean, I don't say "you do realize that WHEN grandma's heart stops and we begin chest compressions I am going to break EVERY SINGLE one...

  7. 100 year old stroke patient

    yetanotheramanda replied to NurseStephRN's topic in General Nursing

    unfortunately, I see it all the time. It makes me sick. nothing says "I love you mom" like filling her full of tubes, sticking her in a nursing home and letting her die of infected bed

  8. People in healthcare should speak Spanish, she said

    yetanotheramanda replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure it is scary to be in a hospital where no one speaks your language. I'm sorry for that. I don't care one bit what language you speak at home or in your community. I don't even get bent out...

  10. Plz read!!! Nurse using drugs what should i do???

    yetanotheramanda replied to J-Star's topic in General Nursing

    professionally: she needs to be reported. her management or BON. She's an impaired nurse. personally: yeah, she sounds like a crappy mom and kind of a loser, but I don't know if any of those...

  11. is nursing supposed to be sad?

    yetanotheramanda replied to VPal's topic in General Nursing

    oh, I missed that she is just in nursing school. Good grief, YES it is common to be depressed in nursing school! lol! those were the worst/hardest years of my life! Good luck to her, you are a good...

  12. is nursing supposed to be sad?

    yetanotheramanda replied to VPal's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to start another age war, but I honestly think this may have a lot to do with her depression. At 21 I did not have the life experience to deal with many of the sad things I have seen in...

  13. "if you weren't so obese, you probably wouldn't have 1/2 the illnesses you do"

    yetanotheramanda replied to SNB1014's topic in General Nursing

    hmmm...someone deleted a post that was semi-attacking the OP then deleted the part of my post responding to the snarky poster. very

  15. Help with a paper

    yetanotheramanda replied to catchme32's topic in General Students

    That being said...I think there are better ways to get the info you need than asking for it on allnurses.com. I've only been out of school a few years and can't even begin to think of a philosophy of...

  16. What kind of patients do you handle?

    yetanotheramanda replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    in addition to head injuries and tumors, we also see a lot of strokes- both ischemic and hemorraghic. Any "head" patient is very likely to exhibit strange behavior, hence the haldol. In addition,...

    LMAO! Thanks for the laugh. Sorry you had such a crazy

  18. Co-workers...when they run hot and cold on you.

    yetanotheramanda replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    my favorite line is "I'm just not a morning person" used to excuse their nastiness. Um, maybe don't get a job where you have to be at work at 0630 if you hate mornings so badly that you can't act...

  19. Highchairs and Counters

    yetanotheramanda replied to flumazenil's topic in General Nursing

    that's how our ICU is set up. I like being able to see into pt rooms more easily, if I was in a regular chair/desk I would uaually be looking at the bottom of my pt's feet! What I don't like is the...

  21. Externships worth it in long run?

    yetanotheramanda replied to akmt's topic in General Nursing

    I did an externship at the hospital affiliated with my nursing school, but was hired as a graduate nurse at a different hospital. I do believe having the externship helped me land my new grad...

  22. Pet Peeve

    yetanotheramanda replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    oooh I totally agree with you! We have to guart pt privacy with our lives (in the hospital), even going so far as to lie and say "I have no pt with name" if requested. But in the clinics it seems...

    yetanotheramanda replied to vedunar's topic in General Nursing

    it's as good as any program...has it's good points and it's bad points. It is somewhat difficult to get into the program. It took me 3 tries to get into just the ASN program. I have a previous BS...

  25. Advice on 12 hour shifts

    yetanotheramanda replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    the idea of rotating 2 or 3 pairs of shoes is the best thing. you may have to experiment to find out which shoe brand works for you. I never thought I would say this, but I really love the Crocs I...
