    "You seem to be an insightful person with a keen sense of self (and a great writer to boot!)..." I thought so too...very self aware. Seriously think about toastmasters...go share those humorous...

  3. Scared Of Bullying

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

    I felt sad reading your second post because it sounds as if the world is this rather terrifying place for you, as well as the people in it. I don't really know what to say with regard to the...

  4. Just curious as to what you would do in this situation.

    whodatnurse replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! This is a HUGE day for you...for your little girl...for your entire family. I'm sure nothing could have prepared you for all the uncertainty and worry but you kept figuring out what needed to...

  7. Who has the most "gravy" RN job ever?

    whodatnurse replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Nursing

    My pal, an ICU nurse at a large university hospital, says the flight nurses there work 1 24-hour shift a week and get paid for 36. I don't know about it being a 'gravy' job...but working 1 entire day...

  8. Nurses with self-harm scars?

    whodatnurse replied to art24's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you need to take exceptional measures to conceal them. If it were me, and someone were to comment on them, I would simply respond with "they aren't something I discuss". You aren't...

  9. behavior managment or not???? HELP

    whodatnurse replied to Shell5's topic in Psychiatric

  10. behavior managment or not???? HELP

    whodatnurse replied to Shell5's topic in Psychiatric

    Yeah...building on what I previously wrote...be sure you're applying techniques known to be therapeutic that are within a nursing scope of practice. Counseling, and offering advice for example, as...

  11. behavior managment or not???? HELP

    whodatnurse replied to Shell5's topic in Psychiatric

    One of your primary roles as an RN in this setting is to recognize that every encounter with a client has the potential to be a therapeutic one. Continue to apply the various techniques you've...

  12. Scared Of Bullying

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

    Joining in the chorus here...yes...the most concrete measure you can to take to defend yourself against perceived bullying is to develop a strong sense of self and comfort in your own skin. A good...

  13. What a difference a year makes!

    whodatnurse replied to rnrainy's topic in Psychiatric

    I didn't bring anything to it. I just noted how it came across to

  14. What a difference a year makes!

    whodatnurse replied to rnrainy's topic in Psychiatric

    Okay...so by "my very experienced peers" respect me, you had intended to convey that you marvel how people whom you hold in high esteem value your contributions to the team. Not to belabor the point,...

  15. What a difference a year makes!

    whodatnurse replied to rnrainy's topic in Psychiatric

    "What I bring to my new floor is a fresh viewpoint and skills that the older psych nurses don't have. I understand medical-surgical issues. I WAS the IV team on my old floor. I understand all...

    Yeah...don't forget you're not ALONE

  17. Am I approaching this in the wrong way?

    whodatnurse replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I sadly shake my head at the thought of 30-something women lacking in basic civilities. Not just their not welcoming you into the group but texting during class...they're old enough to behave better....

  18. Am I approaching this in the wrong way?

    whodatnurse replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Are there only 6 of you in the entire program or is this your clinical group you're talking about? Either way, I'm sorry. It hurts to feel like the odd man out. It's little comfort right now I know,...

  19. Thank you food from nursing students

    whodatnurse replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I've had classmates who brought in homemade cookies and brownies. That's a great idea if you have the time, energy, and inclination to bake...which nobody in my own clinical group ever had (we just...

  20. Am I wrong to feel this way?

    whodatnurse replied to NightNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to add that it's never 'wrong' to feel anything. Hey, if you're annoyed, you're annoyed. (Now if you were to act inappropriately because you were feeling a certain way, that would be...

    Hi. I know there are birthing centers in Alexandria, Bethesda, and Loudoun County and I would imagine there are more around the area. Also, if this interests you, you could check with nursing...

    whodatnurse replied to SandraCVRN's topic in General Nursing

    I left a long and lucrative career in IT for those very reasons - all the outsourcing overseas and importing of people willing to work for what I last earned around 1992. I decided to make the switch...

    whodatnurse replied to sandi67103's topic in General Nursing

    How is ANYONE supposed to ensure work was 'actually' performed unless they stand over the shoulders of the person to whom it was delegated and observe it with their own eyes as it takes place??? If...

  25. HELP - employment with restrictions

    whodatnurse replied to sandi67103's topic in General Nursing

    If the other nurse charted the work, didn't she either sign it with HER signature (if paper) or log in with her own userid (if computer - and the audit trail would show that). Why are YOU being held...
