  1. Automated Email after and Interview and Shadow?

    Katie5 replied to LoriNJ's topic in General Nursing

    People are different. I think she should call,if for nothing else, then at least closure to be exactly sure, the mail was intended for her. Not even that totally but just to call. It makes it easier...

  2. Obnoxious classmates that turn into great nurses

    Katie5 replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    Which is why you should never judge a book by it's cover. Out of curiosity whose standards did you use to judge them and find them

  3. Disgusted

    Katie5 replied to sistasoul's topic in General Nursing

    I truly don't think that nurse meant harm with telling you what she did. She's probably so seasoned now that she gave it to you, the only way she knew how- which is straightforward. You can't be...

  4. Defiant and Insubordinate

    Katie5 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I seek to understand. Exactly what was it that the other nurse did that the OP tried to take away from her? Did she( the nurse) take the initiative herself of calling the physician, or just decide to...

  5. Defiant and Insubordinate

    Katie5 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Everything that should have been said has already been said. But what was it with the aides yelling and screaming like you said.Had they gone

    Katie5 replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Edited. My fingers typed faster then my eyes could read. I meant to say, should she

  7. job change was a HUGE mistake... now what? Nurse Manager advice?

    Katie5 replied to nursebreelee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh sweet! Brings a smile to my face. Happy for you

  8. who to ask for a reference?

    Katie5 replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Call the one who puts you in best light.It is a reference. Your other boss was fired, should she be a reference since she cannot act under the capacity of that

  9. I actually like being a CNA - should I become an RN?

    Katie5 replied to HospiceCarer's topic in General Nursing

    Being a CNA and an RN are two entirely different things with different job descriptions to boot. But you can make it work.It's all about attitude and you mam, seem to have a very sunny one:). You...

  10. Stop the nursing shortage insanity

    Katie5 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

    Let her vent- it may be her own way of letting off steam. Being unemployed sucks. To the OP, I KNOW you will find employment real

  11. Even nurses do stupid things ....

    Katie5 replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on your new baby:). Yeah I've found myself being in the other position- it gave me clearer insight. If it hurts you, then most likely, it hurts the patients too. Oh but then, I'm a wimp when...

  12. Taking care of doctors....

    Katie5 replied to proudnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Awww that sounded

  13. RN"s and LPN's mandated to work as CNA's

    Katie5 replied to chili2641's topic in General Nursing

    This post is exactly what got me so upset in the other thread. Now it's a mandate! Sheesh It is one thing to volunteer or do it as part of team effort. But to mandate

  14. Shortage of Nursing Instructors/Teachers?

    Katie5 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This thread, I think fits very nicely with the "if you were paid this amount of money, would it do it". Obviously, the benefits are not worth the effortand whose loss in the long run?The students! but...

  15. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Katie5 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Patient:- "I need this...". Nurse hurries and fetches it. Patient:- I want that...". Again, nurse hurries and brings said thing. Patient:- I've changed my mind, I want that instead.." Nurse goes...

  16. How do you deal with a rude co-worker?

    Katie5 replied to MobileNurseSara's topic in General Nursing

    I'd probably hang up and call back later, if it wasn't a very important order. But if it was, then you can be very sure that I WILL be heard. As I get more mature, I realize that there are some...

  17. what are your thoughts about my situation.

    Katie5 replied to ashleaRN82's topic in General Nursing

    But you see, that's the thing. When you decided to work for that employee, you decided to represent them both on and off of work. It really cannot be argued, that one should act all crass (maybe in...

  18. AWOL for giving verbal resignation only. What to do?

    Katie5 replied to ntgale08's topic in General Nursing

    Two weeks you say?Did they already have you in their system?But surely you must have signed something if they already had you working the floor. Try and talk to the DON. Right now, your best bet...

  19. So Stressed & Aggravated At My Job

    Katie5 replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

    Everyday I read one thing or the other going on in nursing. So, they wanted you to go to the parking lot and search for a patient? Would be different if you had initially seen the patient and could...

  20. Preparing for the NCLEX

    Katie5 replied to dlayne_g's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No one can really tell you to or not to because in the end, it is all about you and how you study. Study and practice as much as you can. Also try to understand the physiology behind how the body's...

  21. When coffee is no longer enough,

    Katie5 posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you do to keep

  22. How can someone even be like that?!

    Katie5 replied to futureRN_Anastasia's topic in General Nursing

    What your family did was not very nice behaviour? To laugh at someone is to hurt a soul. But understand again, from their point of view. Nursing is not a very respected profession, which is why we...

  23. When coffee is no longer enough,

    Katie5 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Narcolepsy is a disease. I don't have a disease and I'm very sure I don't want to resort to taking drugs for sleepiness albeit safe. I'm more of something

    ....of a valid bunch of reasons. Do I have to explain to anyone my reasons?No. Do you have to explain to anyone your reasons?No. Anyone and "anything" can come into nursing. Yes, at the begining, but...
