    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    Mavrick replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I think some people see a slider scale with Caring on one end and Pragmatism on the other. If you go too far to the Caring side you're a gooshy nurse with no practical sense of the realities of...

    Mavrick replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    '.....finishing my degree as a medical assistant" I read this in another post. Do medical assistants get degrees? OOps.. Googled it myself and yes indeed they

    Lacking Focus&Motivation

    Mavrick replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you are depressed and need some assistance in the mental health department. Some of what you are saying sounds textbook clinical depression. Does your school have a counselor that you could...

    I want to throat-punch my co-worker

    Mavrick replied to Annie Wilkes RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can imagine her telling her friends, "I was sitting at the computer doing my work and this new nurse sat right down, moved my stuff and started using the computer I was sitting at. There is...

    Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    Mavrick replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If the very title of this thread generates a few of these responses, I am grateful for OP's fortitude and more than gracious apology. The original thread has seen a remarkable turn-around worth...

    First year nursing student & already feeling hopeless

    Mavrick replied to gybe's topic in General Students

    You are mistaken. This is not a support group for troubled persons seeking counseling. The title "All Nurses" may imply this is a site just for nurses but there are allied health professionals,...

    Tmc crna program

    Mavrick replied to amber0627's topic in General Nursing

    It's a very intense three year program. Do not plan on working part time. First year is classroom. Second year is mostly in-house that requires taking overnight call. Third year they go off-site...

    Why do nurses eat their young?

    Mavrick replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If the question you are referring to is "Why do nuses eat their young?" (as the title of your post) accept that it is offensive to many on this board and set a poor tone. Of course you take affront...

    Why do nurses eat their young?

    Mavrick replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have indeed used a bazooka to kill an ant. NETY is an insult the way it is used and practically the "N" word when overused. There is nothing anyone on this board can do to actually help your...

    Big, hell yes. Of course, you can and should ask questions in an attempt to understand what is being taught. Questioning their method of teaching is a hill you don't want to die

    Mavrick replied to gybe's topic in General Students

    There is a lot more to nursing that just coughing up facts. You are learning how to think and how to learn. Learning how to take a nursing exam actually keeps several companies (i.e. Hurst, Kaplan) in...

    My Nursing Instructor Is making clinical a nightmare

    Mavrick replied to Chole_0316's topic in General Students

    I agree this is just an unpleasant part of dealing with people. Some are easier than others. And it is pretty good practice for your real nursing career. Keep your head down and off her radar if...

    At wit's end

    Mavrick replied to Insearchof's topic in General Students

    Your dismissal paperwork may have mentioned only these two very specific incidents but the real problem is what they represent. You can not or will not follow instructions, leading to unsafe clinical...
