  1. BM blues

    justiceforjoy replied to LVN_it1995's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Putting myself into your shoes, I'd want to know why she thought of me as incompetent. I'd hunt her down and ask her face to face what she feels I need improving on. It's my job as much as it is hers...

  2. Loud, rude ,disrespectful behavior in the classroom

    justiceforjoy replied to dblpn's topic in General Students

    "Hey guys, I'm sorry - I can't hear the movie, do you think you could keep it down, please? " Works. You are no longer a child, you don't need a parent to do this for you. As for the interjecting...

    justiceforjoy replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Her family needs education on how narcotics work. If there is pain that needs to be controlled, there isn't a chance of addiction. They are getting the medicine for pain management, not for the high....

  7. I am a very young nurse. Will my patients be frightened?

    justiceforjoy replied to youngandnursing's topic in General Nursing

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm going on 25 but still get mistaken for a teenager and always get ID'd (the age here is 19) and still have to convince people that my license is not a fake

  8. Had to leave early- what to tell the patients?

    justiceforjoy replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    "Nurses are honest." I'd tell the truth without making it too unprofessional. You've known this client for a while, so there is an established relationship there. In your shoes, I would bring it up...

  9. If this doesn't make you raging angry...A must-read for Students and Potential Studen

    justiceforjoy replied to CherryBlonde's topic in General Students

    justiceforjoy replied to NIGHTWOLF87's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh, that sounds just like my boyfriend. I went to a study group once and he made me feel horribly guilty about it, and anytime I mention a guy's name or a classmate calls me (for group work), he...

    justiceforjoy replied to praying_mantis's topic in General Nursing

  13. tatted up and in nursing school

    justiceforjoy replied to mscgirl09's topic in General Nursing

    I have a few tattoos. One of which is visible if I have my hair in a ponytail. So long as you can cover them up somehow, it shouldn't be an issue. My tattoo is on the back of my neck and I just have...

  15. Will I lose weight being a nurse??

    justiceforjoy replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say we're at an increased risk of packing on the weight since our bodies freak out! Barely any calories to maintain our activity level makes our body want to latch onto any calories it takes in...

  16. Is shadowing beneficial?

    justiceforjoy replied to j_audrey's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree. You also might get paired with someone that has little to no compassion for their patients and be fully put off by the experience. My fingers are crossed for you to get assigned...

  17. Prescription narcotics or benzodiazepines while working?

    justiceforjoy replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised at how lenient the general consensus is. We truly are an over-medicated society. I would never work while under any drug that has the potential to make me sleepy, regardless of how I...

    justiceforjoy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    That question wouldn't phase me a darn bit. They just had a very important aspect of their relationship ripped away from them. Of course they're going to look for alternative ways to compensate; he...

    justiceforjoy replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    justiceforjoy replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    haha... Everyone take note! This is the nurse that doesn't answer the call bell

  22. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    justiceforjoy replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    This is the cause of the vast majority of everyone's pet peeve in this thread: passive aggressive attitudes. Recurring theme: Nurse comes in at shift change, but grabs a coffee and starts chatting...

    justiceforjoy replied to chihuahua64's topic in Nursing Career

    Your kids are 18 - are they disabled in some way, still in high school, etc.? In other words, is there a reason why they are not pitching in with the money or why they aren't moving out on their own...
