    Group Mentality or Shining Star? (Vent)

    smk1 replied to hbncns35's topic in General Nursing

    my sister is this way as well, and most people think she is extremely stuck up and have no idea how badly she would like to be part of the group, or have the self confidence to speak first. She has...

    Group Mentality or Shining Star? (Vent)

    smk1 replied to hbncns35's topic in General Nursing

    they may simply think that you aren't interested in talking to them. they also may have picked up on the fact taht you don't like to discuss the material as a group, and so don't feel comfortable...

    thinking about going to med school advice needed

    smk1 replied to ICU007's topic in Nursing Career

    good luck in your decision, i would suggest spending a bit of time over at student doctor network forums. They are extremely immature at times and annoying, but amidst all of the junk is really good...

    A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    smk1 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I thought i read most of the posts (over a hundred now) and i don't recall anyone stating that privacy was not important... If that is the case then it obviously is the very small minority opinion....

    First Names & "Professionalism"

    smk1 replied to porsch65's topic in Operating Room

    this is the first question that popped into my head.... If they had to get so up in arms that a meeting had to be called over the use of a title, then the docs need to be required to call the nurse...

    A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    smk1 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    if it were a religous or cultural issue, wouldn't thi sbe in the chart? Obviously this isn't the first time this man had to be "exposed" in the hospital. Perhaps it hasn't ever happened to his wife...

    A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    smk1 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the nurse was "hot" and she was uncomfortable thinking about her working so "intimately" with her husband . The more i think about it, i bet that is what the issue really

    A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    smk1 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    as a cna (not nurse yet) i do remember constant emphasis on privacy. (only uncovering one part at a time and never exposing what doesn't need to be exposed. having said that, it sounds as if the...

    help! Are surgical techs and RNs the same??

    smk1 replied to BernadetteRNBSN's topic in Operating Room

    Nope CST does not = RN. Why oh why can't adult health care workers act like the PROFESSIONALS that they are? It really is too bad that this sort of turf war and hostility goes on in a facility that...

    smk1 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    i agree, i like Shania (and i am VERY choosy about country cuz it ain't my fave) Faith is ok,but nothing to write home about for me, and I wouldn't ever buy anything from her at this point, maybe her...

    No Relief, Embarrasing Moment

    smk1 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    that's horrible, reminds me of high school. An incident or some other typ of report needs to be filled out about that. 8 hours straight with no pee break, stinks. i don't think i could handle it...

    i think i'm havin a 1/4 life crisis

    smk1 replied to lmacks4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i agree with this because of the money. The income that you could earn and the less interest that you have to pay back on loans is a big deal. Congrats on getting into the programs, weigh this...
