  1. Co-worker who calls me cutsie terms of endearment and pokes me a lot

    *LadyJane* replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you read the skinny little book, titled "The one minute manager" you can understand the logic of little statements such as that one. In a nutshell, you basically give someone some positive feedback...

  2. Co-worker who calls me cutsie terms of endearment and pokes me a lot

    *LadyJane* replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, here goes, if possible, put your hand on her forearm, as this is reassuring to people, and adds to your believability. Don't do it if it makes you really uncomfortable though. "Bobbie, I really...

  3. Co-worker who calls me cutsie terms of endearment and pokes me a lot

    *LadyJane* replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just tell her you want to talk to her privately about something, go to the supply room (or whereever you can talk privately for a couple min.) and tell her you appreciate her friendliness and wanting...

    My final for this quarter is done, but..... I have been doing a bunch of NCLEX questions yesterday and today.... and I have some reading assignments to do. But I really need to get some gifts wrapped...

  5. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    *LadyJane* replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

  6. You want me to do what????

    *LadyJane* replied to Creamsoda's topic in General Nursing

  7. Nursing student, and two deaths this week (very long, sorry...)

    *LadyJane* replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Nursing

    Hi You might check out some information about transcultural nursing. Some cultures get very vocal and demonstrative when given bad news, and really get quite quite vocal and dramatic at the news of a...

  8. Is Environmental Illness Physical or Psychological?

    *LadyJane* replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen lots of people claim to have "allergies" to smoke, foods, etc, but have never seen one have anything remotely like an allergic reaction. I think those things can trigger sick feelings...

  10. ultrasound vs nursing?

    *LadyJane* replied to 2bnursesim22's topic in General Students

    Ya think ultrasound might be easy? Check out the list of classes required to apply/graduate. Feel like taking several quarters of upper level math, calculus, lots of physics and then lots and lots...

  11. Nurse Privacy Rights

    *LadyJane* replied to sweetmuffin48's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Scorpiostudent, At my hospital, a whiteboard is used, at the beginning of each shift when the CNA and nurse come in for their data collection or assessment, they write their names on the...

  12. Nurse Privacy Rights

    *LadyJane* replied to sweetmuffin48's topic in General Nursing

    Why put it on the door? Why not put it on a whiteboard in the patient's room, where the patient can see the name of her RN and her CNA? Then the patient knows who her nurse is and who the CNA is,...

  13. Would you come in during an epidemic?

    *LadyJane* replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thinking about this question in a purely analytical way, I'd have to say it all boils down to this; Would I rather that my friends and family die, or would I rather that strangers die. Well, that...

  14. Death & Dying

    *LadyJane* replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I think oncology would be rather difficult to become acclimatized to. Having said that, you might be interested in reading this thread where nurses have told about deaths that were uplifting and...

  15. Who gets scared taking hospital exams for hire

    *LadyJane* replied to oakbourne's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Oakbourne, Practice doing computations daily. Just spend 15 - 20 min. a day practicing them, and you will get to the point where you could do them in your sleep. You'll recognize them and say to...

  16. Well, I think I just flunked out of nursing school today.

    *LadyJane* replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Oh! I am so glad to read your update, and I am so happy for you. It must have been gratifying to hear this from your instructor...... Hooray!:anpom::anpom::anpom:

  17. Nursing Uniforms

    *LadyJane* replied to bish1234's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that the confusion is caused by having just about everyone wearing scrubs when scrubs originally were worn by OR and Labor/Delivery/postpartum nurses/doctors/anesthesiologists. Then it...

  18. Dropping out of Nursing School - help!

    *LadyJane* replied to nursetobein2010's topic in General Students

    Nursetobe, Please please please put a post about this instructor on www.ratemyprofessor.com The reason, is that maybe some people could be spared a quarter's tuition, and a wasted year to find out...

  19. Dropping out of Nursing School - help!

    *LadyJane* replied to nursetobein2010's topic in General Students

    Oh dear. I'd withdraw if I were you. It's too bad there are a whole bunch of victims who won't realize that they, also, should withdraw and go elsewhere. It's too bad there isn't a site where...

  20. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    *LadyJane* replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

  22. How do you study?

    *LadyJane* replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Students

    Diane, great answer. I also listen to the lecture which I tape in class if the instructor pours out information at a high rate of speed (faster than I can take notes). I'll re-listen and look at my...

  23. HESI exit help

    *LadyJane* replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Students

    Hopefully you've been studying hard all along, because cramming will not help you pass NCLEX or HESI. Having said that, just keep reviewing your stuff and doing practice questions. Make sure you...

  24. Baths

    *LadyJane* replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked a couple different places, been a patient at several different big hospitals, and never, ever was the patient or I ever completely uncovered. Just the part getting washed, the arm, the...

  25. Nursing School: Self-Taught?

    *LadyJane* replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

    Wow. I feel for you. I start in a couple days, but you all are scaring me. All I can suggest is you students need to write reviews on http://www.ratemyprofessor.com so that other students can get...
