Funniest Nursing Situation
I was a PCT at the time and I was helping a nurse cath an obese older man. He had an "innie" and she said to him, "where is it?" He said, "lady that is one thing you should never say to a man!" I almost passed out because I was holding my breath trying not to laugh hysterically.

Was I wrong?
I bet you won't cover a shift for her again. I guess she slept through the pain lecture in nursing school.

How has nursing changed you?
This happened to me last week! There was a naked woman running around at a busy intersection and she jumped in front of my car. I said man I haven't hit the clock yet and I'm seeing naked people! I did call the police though and I'm sure she was admitted to psych. So yeah, nursing has provided a good lifestyle for me but I realized that I'm better off doing something different. For me it is a job and not a calling, I can't help those who don't want help. I work just enough to pay the bills now. I've been working on an exit plan for the last couple of years.

Please help
See if there is a free clinic or income based clinic in your area and talk to a physician there.

Should nurses be able to listen to music at work?
I don't do direct care but I don't mind music being played. It relaxes me and I can concentrate more.

Planning move to California
I'm actually considering the same thing. My first piece of advise is to go ahead and endorse your California license since the BON is super slow. I'm actually going to be doing something other than nursing but I have to work as a nurse for a little bit longer to get my other thing up and running.

What HARD truth have you learned once you became a nurse and/or CNA?
That I don't like being a nurse.
-
If not nursing what other career would you have done?
A mortician
-
If you could redo it....would you choose nursing?
No way and I'm working on my exit plan now.

Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?
This is a good thing actually. You see what kind of "friend" she really is. She's a manipulator and she didn't get her way. The family and friends who think you should have helped her well you'll have to let those comments go in one ear and out the other. Easier said than done but you don't need that negativity. Since she isn't responding to your calls and texts now would be a perfect time to let the friendship run its course. You did all you could do (too much imo) it's her life to live so let her live it and you live yours. The older I've become the less poop I can tolerate. This is a good lesson on how not to let people manipulate you. She wasn't a true friend to begin with. Enjoy your break from school with less drama in your life! Good luck to you.
