    whodatnurse replied to WayneKerr's topic in General Nursing

    New grad speaking here: Do NOT go into nursing if your primary motivation is that you 'want to find a job'. LOL (If you don't understand why I said that...search this site on 'new grad

  2. What actions can I take when abused by a clinical instructor and failed?

    whodatnurse replied to WantingtheBest's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. In your original post you had said you were failing...but now you went FROM a 'B' to an

    whodatnurse replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    FWIW - I haven't doubted that you're the real deal and I hope that, if nothing else, you've found at least a crumb of comfort, and some appetizing food for thought to digest. I'm also glad to hear...

    whodatnurse replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    whodatnurse replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah...you're actually in somewhat of a 'better ' place to be as far as your career is concerned (relative to a lot of posters on this site) in that you said you like the NURSING. That's an important...

    whodatnurse replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    asdjkl I'm piping up again because I think it's extremely important you do get therapy, if you haven't already. The experiences you mentioned over in the other thread sound as if you now have this...

    whodatnurse replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's a saying..."Wherever you go, there you are." It's very important that you get therapy and put a big, bright spotlight on this life of having 'been bullied' so you can tackle it head on and...

  10. Is this abandonment?

    whodatnurse replied to ra3583's topic in General Nursing

    Just an anecdotal observation. It's always been interesting to me that the perception of, say 30 miles, seems to differ somewhat consistently between metropolitan dwellers and rural dwellers. A...

  11. Is this abandonment?

    whodatnurse replied to ra3583's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know for sure from a legal standpoint, but it seems to me that it would be because you accepted the assignment, then didn't deliver on it once you assumed

    whodatnurse replied to CrashVector's topic in Psychiatric

    Google 'Sharon Edwards murder'. She was a 28-year old murdered on her first night as a counselor at a residential psychiatric facility who was stabbed 26 times with a hunting knife by a then 16 year...

  13. Do I really have to do Med-Surg when I graduate?

    whodatnurse replied to modelmama07's topic in General Students

    Not one person from my ABSN class of 60+ that graduated last year is doing med-surg. We've got a lot of peds and OB people plus a number of ER and ICU and also some NICU, oncology, OR, and

  17. Opinion needed-trads,non-trads and very non-trads

    whodatnurse replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

    It seems to me you could almost have put this question as Gen X vs. Gen Y, vs. Baby Boomers. As generations, people tend to share many commonalities that those not of that generation might find...

  19. What actions can I take when abused by a clinical instructor and failed?

    whodatnurse replied to WantingtheBest's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to pay for at least a consultation with a lawyer to see if there's a case you would have any chance of winning. Did the school ever provide any kind of grading criteria (e.g. 5 pts. for...

  22. Annoying and disruptive classmates (vent)

    whodatnurse replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

    Some people are very lacking in self-awareness, as it sounds your classmate may be. A lot of people have no concept of an 'indoor voice' and don't seem to care very much if people 20 feet or more...

    whodatnurse replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you're getting at. I have mixed feelings on this issue. While I don't think there should be a "return window" if your kid doesn't live up to your beautiful expectations, what about...
