    Are "real" nurses as mean as my future instructors?

    VICEDRN replied to Dakovich's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure they are taking it not so seriously? Perhaps they are frustrated with themselves, you, the situation, etc. Its a lot to judge an eye roll... Its easy to talk yourself out of what you see...

    VICEDRN replied to reigh's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya, girl! Comfort yourself with the idea that if a shortage returns to your area, they will be calling you and annoying you to take a job with them. Keep it movin'. Try not to think about...

    Are "real" nurses as mean as my future instructors?

    VICEDRN replied to Dakovich's topic in General Nursing

    Its never appropriate to be rude and huffy/puffy to people. This a course that you have paid to enroll in. The teachers should be able to impart to each of you the gravity and responsibility of...

    VICEDRN replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    VICEDRN replied to forgop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ha! A friend of mine is starting his career as an OB nurse next month! There seems to be a lot of shrugged shoulders and "so whats" going around regarding the topic. No one seems to care much that...

    Moochers who want to copy your homework or cheat off you......

    VICEDRN replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I don't stare but I look at them when I say no. The flyer guys, the homeless folks, the guy going "Hash, hash, hash" in the village, whatever. I look at them when I say it. Seriously, read your last...

    Moochers who want to copy your homework or cheat off you......

    VICEDRN replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I just literally laughed out loud. I have one rule though: I have to look them in the eye. I refuse to say no to my feet. They are human beings and they want to be looked in the eyes. I came to a...

    Moochers who want to copy your homework or cheat off you......

    VICEDRN replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Edited to add: Agree with CuriousME. The older I get, the better I get at saying no and not really caring. I am definitely going to stick with my main point. Its about how you feel when you say...

    VICEDRN replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I am from New York and yes, I have been described as very blunt with people. I have no problem flat out saying, "No. Sorry but no." and leaving it there. Its also something that the more experience...

    There is nothing that I said that contradicts something else that I said. Actually, I have looked at my post and your post and have no idea what you are trying to say. Your original post contains...

    VICEDRN replied to Whiskeytown's topic in General Nursing

    VICEDRN replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Can I guess? The book is Test Success by Nugent & Vitale. This was the most helpful for me before I started nursing school. Everything else was like looking at information in a vacuum. What was...

    VICEDRN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. My post is pretty unclear. Sorry about that. Rural Georgia is definitely less than 21-22/hour for new grads. (The 21/hr is more like suburban Atlanta) I am in North Georgia. I don't know if...

    I was just talking to another nursing student who noted that pay in rural Georgia hospitals for new grad RNs is less than what the carpet factories pay people in Dalton, Georgia. Kind of insulting,...

    VICEDRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing
