  1. Anyone here drink a can of soda a day?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Galvatron1's topic in General Nursing

    I drink about 6+ cans of diet coke a day. It has to be Diet Coke, too. If I don't I get headaches and stomach aches. I actually think that I drink so much soda that my stomach has reduced acid...

  2. I was slapped by a doctor!

    ThatPoshGirl replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I really think you need to stress the sexual harassment angle of this, because this is absolutely sexual

  3. Are Allied Health training programs exacerbating the nursing shortage?

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Allied Health training programs advertise and recruit pretty aggressively. When I went through the Medical Assistant program I had no idea that I could go to nursing school for far less money and not...

  5. Have a question about why nursing is a conservative profession.

    ThatPoshGirl replied to AHCerioni's topic in General Nursing

    "Conservative profession?" Does that mean a hyper partisan liberal like myself won't get

  6. Are Allied Health training programs exacerbating the nursing shortage?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    It's difficult, though. If you go to the BLS website it shows that medical assisting is one the fastest growing careers and that job options are excellent. It is easier now, but when I went the...

  7. Maybe a strange question...

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I was hoping to work in neonatal after graduating and even pursuing my MSN with neonatal specialty. Today I woke up with a knot in my lip and I am afraid it is a cold sore. I've never had one before...

    ThatPoshGirl replied to aphi~gn's topic in General Nursing

    You should use something like this cost of living calculator: http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/costofliving/costofliving.html There are some areas, like SF, where the wages are still better even when...

  9. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    ThatPoshGirl replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a peds office in NJ where the receptionist would say "tyenol." I don't know if that was an NJ thing or what. Both she and the Chinese doctor would call the cartridge on the printer the...

  10. Age you will/were graduated?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    You get over it. Mostly because all the sudden you are even more stressed about being

  11. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    ThatPoshGirl replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to know someone who would get upset if you said a patient didn't have a temperature. He would get so mad, "If they didn't have a temperature they would be

  12. Caught stealing drugs

    ThatPoshGirl replied to vonxojn's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for clarifying that. You mean patients who need pain medication aren't getting it? That sounds horrible. It is amazing what addiction can drive someone to

  13. UNR or UNLV?

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm currently at TMCC and had planned to major in biology and then apply to a PA masters program. After a lot of reading and thinking I've decided that I would rather be an RN and eventually maybe go...

  14. OK I have had it with coworkers behavior

    ThatPoshGirl replied to nighteyes719's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that that is just a tad bit passive/aggressive, which in my opinion is way worse than the original offense. You could just try asking her to cover her mouth. You could also ask her if...

  15. Caught stealing drugs

    ThatPoshGirl replied to vonxojn's topic in General Nursing

    Is addiction more common among nurses? Is it an issue of stress plus

  16. I was slapped by a doctor!

    ThatPoshGirl replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    Wikipedia sez: Simple battery may include any form of non-consensual, harmful or insulting contact, regardless of the injury caused. Criminal battery requires an intent to inflict an injury on...

  17. Confused about salary and hourly pay adding up......

    ThatPoshGirl replied to kgh31386's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in LA a few years ago and was making $10/hr at a job that the same company paid $14/hr in the midwest for. LA wages are pretty out of whack because there are more workers than jobs so people...

  18. Is there some sort of Nurse/Med student rivalry?

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was curious about scrub nursing so I did some google searches and stumbled onto a med student forum like this one. The med students were railing against nurses and calling them things like...

  19. From real good to real bad overnite

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Hospice RNCM's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. It's too bad you don't have a union. I'm afraid if they continue to behave this way that it might put your license in jeopardy. I don't know that much about the...

  20. Ever feel "spacey" at work?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I feel like that the week before my period. Is there any chance it is PMS

  21. I was slapped by a doctor!

    ThatPoshGirl replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    It is not just assault, it is sexual harassment in my opinion. I bet you a week's wages he wouldn't do that to a man. (I'm unemployed so don't bother trying to collect if you see it.) If it had been...

  22. UNR or UNLV?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks guys. Right now I have a 3.85 gpa with a 4.0 in all pre-reqs. I'm assuming that admissions to the pre-nursing programs should be no problem. Do you guys know if my gpa on my pre-reqs will...

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've worked in manufactoring and almost every job I had in that industry we would get a big lecture the first day about OSHA rules and all the things that would happen if we were caught breaking those...

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Once upon a time, about 10 or so years ago, I was a medical assistant. I know that MAs are not well liked here:cry:, but bear with me. I did a temp assignment at my extern site after graduating and...

  25. Life and jobs in San Francisco

    ThatPoshGirl replied to krazykev's topic in California Nursing

    If you don't want to be cold you need to move to Southern California. I lived there for a year and I don't think it ever got below 75 and most of the time it was 80+ and only got above 90 for about...
