  1. Clogs vs sneakers vs walking shoes, which one?

    Aurora77 replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear Skechers (spelling? I had a loooooong night, so I'm not sure I could spell my own name at this point) running shoes. They're very light and my feet seem to love them. Before that I had a...

  2. I love my days off

    Aurora77 replied to beast master RN's topic in General Nursing

    Days off are amazing! I love my job, but I love being free to do what I want as well. I've just come off a long hard couple of weeks, so having a 3 day weekend is excellent. I'm actually looking...

  3. I hate nursing exams

    Aurora77 replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

  4. The Mockery of Nursing

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm too new to be a crusty old bat, but I'll take the title of Princess Dreamcrusher anyday. :) I'm just so glad this thread got going. I thought I was the only one shaking my head, wondering how...

  5. OK sorry everyone

    Aurora77 replied to SnowPrincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one should have to tell you that texting in class is wrong. Who cares if you were born with a cell phone in your hands? Can you really not put it away for an hour? I don't think you made anyone...

  6. I hate nursing exams

    Aurora77 replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    I agree with you, OP. By the time I finished nursing school I was so sick of the tests with questions that seem predicated on a nurse's inability to do two things at once. I found them incredibly...

  7. The Mockery of Nursing

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, ya'll were busy last night while I was at work. Loved that thread. I've only been a nurse for 9 months and my mind was

  8. welcome to nursing!

    Aurora77 replied to JBudd's topic in General Nursing

    I work with my former NS preceptor, though we're on opposite shifts. I really owe her a lot and I've told her that. Not only was she a great preceptor, but I love my job and my unit and I know it...

  9. The Mockery of Nursing

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh, c'mon, RNsRWe, you must have missed the memo that nurses are kind, caring, and sympathetic. Sheesh. Somebody's an old biter nurse. Maybe you should retire so the newbies can take

  10. The Mockery of Nursing

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was just told I need to be more sensitive. I feel like I've joined the cool kids

  11. I can't belive it desperetely need your help

    Aurora77 replied to karen2012's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, I shouldn't be more sensitive. If someone has anxiety issues that prevent them from passing a basic exam multiple times, how can they effectively care for a patient who is going bad? Will they...

  12. I can't belive it desperetely need your help

    Aurora77 replied to karen2012's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Actually, it does. The NCLEX is the bare minimum standard for being a nurse. If a person can't meet that minimum qualification, especially after multiple attempts, their nursing ability is suspect....

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been thinking that for a long time now. Glad I'm not the only

  14. My Teacher Hates me!!!!

    Aurora77 replied to SnowPrincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why are you texting in class? You're getting bad grades because you're paying more attention to your phone than your

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's what my job is missing--cats! How amazing would that

  16. The Mockery of Nursing

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. I had no idia (sic) what I was in for when I saw the letter writer thread. Craziness. I need you all to advice (sic) me. I had a rough night at work last night. Do you think it would be OK...

  17. The Mockery of Nursing

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Can I just say how much I love you people? Now, when I go to search for something on here, my computer is remembering things like "ran into a house," "stoma sex," and "NCLEX horror." I never knew...

  18. Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    Aurora77 replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    PeepnBiscuitsRN, if we didn't have different graduation dates, I'd think we went to school together. My PN program was hard. A couple of the instructors were diploma nurses. They kicked our butts....

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Make sure to get us their user names when they come here to complain about you.

  20. Sad state of affairs!

    Aurora77 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about going back. If you're not loving what you do and can do better elsewhere, go for it. I told my husband pretty much that when I went into nursing. If it ever became more profitable and...

  21. Foley Catheter issues - yikes!

    Aurora77 replied to 1969's topic in General Students

    GrnTea, that's freaking amazing!! I'm going to use that from now on. Thanks.

  22. How does your unit handle this assignment situation ?

    Aurora77 replied to melanie1126's topic in General Nursing

    One of the other nurses or the charge could have gotten the patient settled in. That's how we handle it on my floor. I've done initial unofficial assessments and taken care of a pt until the actual...

    Yes you are. Sue the crap out of them and

  24. I HATE NANDA!!!!

    Aurora77 replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Therein lies the problem for me. The nursing diagnosis/plan of care is determined by, and relies upon, the medical diagnosis. Nursing is dependent upon medicine, just as the medical is dependent...

  25. The Mockery of Nursing

    Aurora77 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had to do a little post stalking. Hygiene Queen, that is probably one of the funniest threads I've read in a long time. Someone has a serious case of Special Snowflake Syndrome. How in the world...
