  1. What NOT/Never to talk about at work...

    bluesky replied to susanna's topic in General Nursing

    Well. I think the issue is not so much what to talk about as who you discuss it with. The problem is that all that smiles is not a friend so occasionally you get burned by thehypocrite or the just...

  2. Hmmm...am I wrong to think this way???

    bluesky replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

    I guess for me at least, the truth is that when I've heard of ex-bosses that were jerks to me or ex-coworkers who were jerks to me have some bad fortune, at first I feel a little gratified, then I...

  3. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    bluesky replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you, thank you, thank you Tee

  4. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    bluesky replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Examples of male- dominated professions where individuals routinely "cross the line and fight to the death"; Business, Government Bureaucracy, Politics, War. I mean look at how low some of these...

  5. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    bluesky replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First of all, in my book, socializing consists pf relating to other people in a friendly manner, not "chitchatting" about my private life. If someone that I am working with only speaks for 2 minutes...

  6. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    bluesky replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nope. Trust is important because it promotes good teamwork. Never made a comment about conformism. Again, the connection between socializing and gender... not substantiated in my experience. In...

  7. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    bluesky replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeeesh. Abstaining from some of the more deleterious and unprofessional aspects of conversation doesn't mean not socializing at all... I'd hate to work in an environment where coworkers didn't...

  8. Frustrated and exhausted

    bluesky replied to shorty0201's topic in Psychiatric

    No but other pieces of the picture like the manipulative behaviour sure sound a lot like BPD though, don't

  9. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    bluesky replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a really inflamatory and just plain lowsy premise. Yes, nursing is female dominated and yes, nurses have difficulties getting along with each other. But did it ever occur to you that there...

  10. Did You Know

    bluesky replied to PassionateOne's topic in Nursing Humor

    Me too :rotfl: :rotfl:

  11. MD, DO, NP, DC, OD -- Who deserves the title Physician?

    bluesky replied to RMARTINNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd like to know what studies confirm this suggestion of causality. I could just as easily say that the reason that both of these professions (nursing, teaching) have less "recognition" is that they...

  12. Lowest H/H I ever saw...

    bluesky replied to my2sons's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Whoa! Freaky, freaky, freaky!

  13. Professional in scrubs?

    bluesky replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    Sorry- I just don't see how subjecting us to less comfortable "uniforms" is justifiable, especially when there is no real compelling reason to. I have never heard of poor pt outcomes related to scrub...

  14. Any Words of Wisdom- Starting 1st Sem.of Nursing School

    bluesky replied to StudentNurse04's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah, and I would definitely, DEFINITELY work a Summer Internship or part-time job at some point during school. Just my

  15. Any Words of Wisdom- Starting 1st Sem.of Nursing School

    bluesky replied to StudentNurse04's topic in General Students

    I would say chill out and roll with the punches. I never did too much textbook reading at all. If I had to do it all over again, I would shut up in class (nobody liked a girl who spoke up in class)...

  16. Toxic Nurse Managers and how to deal...

    bluesky replied to Stitchie's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am just graduating school this month but I did work as a unit secretary in a busy ED for 5 years. My final observation was that neutral people who just came to work, did a good job and went home...

  17. Student with a question...

    bluesky replied to ARmickie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hey! The only optional texts I found useful were the drug reference book and the lab reference book. I only speak for myself, however. I didn't even really read my textbooks too much either and am...

  18. How do you deal w/a student you don't like?

    bluesky replied to Fivestar22's topic in General Nursing

    Well, listen to this story of caution. I had a real difference of opinion with my management instructor (nursing) about unions. Well she became very condescending and my grades plumeted from high...

    bluesky replied to Stitchie's topic in Emergency

  21. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    bluesky replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that is completely lame.

  22. Need info on U of M Second Degree BSN

    bluesky replied to gauchogirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Again, beware the Ann Arbor Winter. It gets very cold for a looong time. And the out-of-state tuition, when I attended in 1989 was $8000/ semester. If you want great delis and equally great...

  23. University Of Michigan

    bluesky replied to ethelbsnrn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I went to University of MI for my 1st undergrad degree and did some EMS calls to the hospital. I can't tell you too much about the hospital except it's your usual University based teaching...

  24. Ever have a major crush on a doctor

    bluesky replied to ninaldunn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nope. Had an attraction to a very cute PA once,
