  1. The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

    embarrasingfield replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    Its not part of my belief system to degrade other people. What is there possibly to gain by keeping a new, or veteran nurse from succeeding? I like

  2. Reputation of Nursing Boards

    embarrasingfield replied to extravanga's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That hasn't been my experience. I'm glad for you that you had a positive experience with your Board. I probably shouldn't be posting on this particular board as my feelings about the Board are pretty...

  3. PHOTOGRAPHS with cellphones

    embarrasingfield posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone else sick of being blind-sided with having your photo taken by a family members cell-phone? I mean its all so nice and good that they like me and think I am cute. But how does that give them...

  4. bedside nursing??

    embarrasingfield replied to meigan091's topic in General Nursing

    Seriosuly, some people are not built to touch other people and may have adverse physiology to needles, blood and whatnot. Its all about finding your

  5. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    embarrasingfield replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I have way too many great Nursing stories to count. Despite the fact that I am leaving this field, I would encourage others to be in it. Just CYA, cause its going to continue to be a rough ride no...

  6. Is Rehab the wrong place to start out?

    embarrasingfield replied to jml444's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There really is no wrong area to start with. Do what you like. Nursing ios exacting enough without being in an area you don't resonate

  7. non nursing side jobs

    embarrasingfield replied to rehab girl's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly I've never been burnt out in nursing. That is one of the perks: there is so much variety within Nursing that if you get bored or burnt out, you have noone else to blame but yourself! It is...

  8. PHOTOGRAPHS with cellphones

    embarrasingfield replied to embarrasingfield's topic in General Nursing

    Thats the crux. Cellphones are not allowed, however you really can't prevent them from coming in and being used, unless we resort to frisking family members which of course we are not going to do....

  9. Jcaho Medication Reconciliation

    embarrasingfield replied to SEOBowhntr's topic in Patient Medications

    OMG- yet another reason this field is so

  10. IV question

    embarrasingfield replied to mcknis's topic in Patient Medications

    You should never, never feel bad about calling pharmacy or any other resource to confirm safety. I usually use a software product that gives compatibilities. But in the past or in the future, I will...

  11. Caught stealing drugs

    embarrasingfield replied to vonxojn's topic in General Nursing

    Things like this are exactly why the normal, average nurse who is trying her/his best is treated like

  12. Am I wrong?

    embarrasingfield replied to emmy41lgpn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry Emmy, but your complaint is unrealistic in this day and time. As you said early in your pst, things are different in nursing (worse) and that applies in every other aspect of life as well....

  13. Male nurses

    embarrasingfield replied to kjetski's topic in Men in Nursing

    Go ahead and Grandfather the ADN's. After that, make the ADN obsolete. Nursing should be entry-BSN. However. We are a bunch of sniveling catty B's. So we won't ever repair anything, we will just...

  14. Unfreaking Real!!!!

    embarrasingfield replied to chiari_mom's topic in General Nursing

    In my work, I have gotten to the point where my only concerns are giving exceptional patient care and getting my paycheck. Thats my subjective daily experience. But the objective part of me says this...

  15. Unfreaking Real!!!!

    embarrasingfield replied to chiari_mom's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are treated as subhumans. Thats why this field is so embarrasing.

  16. Nurse Theorist

    embarrasingfield replied to TreeDoc's topic in General Nursing

    If that makes you uncomfortable, then leave my last sentence out. My graduate degree is (thankfully!!) not in nursing. Being in the field of nursing and seeing all the abuse embarrases me for those...

  17. Tired of impaired nurses

    embarrasingfield replied to epipusher's topic in General Nursing

    Jennie: I agree with what you are saying. Nurses who are impaired do not belong at the bedside at all. Thats why i said there should be conditions placed on the license. I mentioned dui, because there...

  18. searching

    embarrasingfield posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to post in a weird place, but hopefully the Mods will re-route this appropriately. Where can I find the thread about "when doctors yell at nurses?" I had an update that showed up in my home...

    embarrasingfield replied to embarrasingfield's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks!

  20. Nurse Theorist

    embarrasingfield replied to TreeDoc's topic in General Nursing

    I do not believe in them. Supposedly the professional basis of Nursing is the "Science of Care." Because there is very little care for Nurses themselves by almost every entity related, I think all the...

  21. RNs- Mostly first born? Alcoholic fathers?

    embarrasingfield replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow- what an interesting

  22. Tired of impaired nurses

    embarrasingfield replied to epipusher's topic in General Nursing

    I believe these things should be handled case-by-case. If you have any social life at all, you'de know that dui convictions are way up because of the BAC requirements and the overall "Witch Hunt"...

  23. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    embarrasingfield replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think a lot of people feel that way with board exams. You probably did better than you think, and even if the off-chance that you did not pass, you will be stronger for the next

  24. Transition Community Health to ER

    embarrasingfield replied to campos's topic in Men in Nursing

    It all depends on your nature and if ED is right for you. It could be that you are better suited for a slower paced environment or that you will actually feel more at home in a faster environment....

  25. Do you/ did you have a Nurses Cap? Pin?

    embarrasingfield replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My Class did not place any value on the caps since they are germ havens and also logistically dangerous. We felt the nurses safety was more important than the "tradition". Thus, many had a...
