  1. This Is Not Right!

    Why would the poster be making this up??? She/He specifically stated in their post that the LPN asked if she could help her with a schizophrenic topic paper and was rejected but told they could give...
  2. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    I hadn't realized the sign on bonus had so many stipulations. I always thought it was a "come on" type
  3. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    I was not describing the patients here. I was talking about the coworkers. It was a post of mine in response to someone who spoke about me not liking to work with others. Yes I understand quite well...
  4. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    Yes, I'm still in the learning phase. But I will keep you
  5. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    I'm not a people's person but I do quite well with basic interacting when it comes to job information. I don't do well with people who are overly gossipy, rude, nosy, lazy, thin skinned and...
  6. This Is Not Right!

    When you see something that is not right better to report it than to look the other way. This is the most ethical thing to do. This person has integrity issues that are not likely to change. Are we...
  7. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    I'm sorry. I made a typo in this post. I didn't mean to say "if I don't like nursing very much I can move" I meant to say if I don't like the place (hospital, nursing home etc) where I work as a nurse...
  8. What would you have done?

    Don't worry too much. Pettiness abounds in the workplace everywhere. The CNA's needed someone to speak up for them and you did just that. Do the best you can because some people, usually women, I've...
  9. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    Sharon, as I've stated in my previous post I DO lack direction. I realize this. I suppose it is why after 15+ yrs I'm still in school trying to find what's right for me. Yes it is true I wanted to do...
  10. Do you take any stimulants?

    I was curious as to nursing students and nurses alike, do you take any stimulants other than coffee to stay alert? I was working 2 jobs once and was subsisting off 2 or 3 hrs sleep a nite back 10 yrs...
  11. Do you take any stimulants?

    Thanks guys for your input. I suppose some good exercise ie. jogging, treadmill, ellipticals might give some energy too. It may help if I reduced my sugar intake. I used to take ephedra too and my...
  12. All I know is bacterial meningitis is potentially lethal whereas viral meningitis isn't so necessarily. You may have to check with an MD and go back into some of your books. This is too serious for...
  13. Options for Nurses who HATE nursing.

    I'm the most inquisitive person ever. Most of what I learn is from asking
  14. job ads and no actual job

    Aha! This is not just for nursing jobs. This is most jobs in the paper. The problem may be that there are jobs available but everybody and their grandmother applies for those jobs. At some point these...
  15. Do you take any stimulants?

    That's waaaaaay too much sugar for me. I'm trying to lose weight. Plus you must have a hard time with the crash of
  16. New RN needs career advice...:(

    How come your fiancee can't pay his/her own bills? Why should you have to take the hold load? These days ANY job you work in ANY field will have mucho problems because the economy is bad and employers...
  17. I'm considering nursing but my problem is that I only really want to do certain types like maybe ER Nursing. I'm not interested in NICU, pedi, geriatric, general, labor and delivery etc. I would want...
  18. Stupid mistakes!!!!

    You may have to take your time a bit and think before you act. It takes practice but is very do-able. These types of mistakes can have devastating consequences: loss of job, malpractice actions, bad...
  19. Okay, so I know this question gets tiring...

    I'm not a nurse but I suspect the higher degree may make you more competitive job applicant. There are many many ADN's out there that may apply for the same plum job as yourself, but with the BSN, you...
  20. BSN vs. ADN

    Schools vary in costs as you well know and the 50K you speak of just may be the difference between only a handful of schools. There are some Universities out there that are pretty reasonable. I'm not...
