  1. Am I too old to fulfill my original dream?

    I have a 53-year-old student in my LPN class... He's awesome! I enjoy having him in my class and at practicum, his clients/patients just adore
  2. Discussing religion in the workplace

    I'm pretty shocked to see so many nurses so uncomfortable with their religious beliefs. Do your patients make you uncomfortable when they share their own beliefs? How about when their beliefs go...
  3. Dead Babies...To Get It Off My Chest

    I will be smothering my daughter in snuggles and hugs tonight and sending a prayer up for that little baby. I'm sorry you had to see what you did. It is truly tragic. I don't think it's fair to...
  4. Any smokers Out There?

    I hope to god you don't work maternity if you think it's okay to make a joke like that about PPD... The point of my post was not to highlight my own experience, it was to try and illustrate the point...
  5. Any smokers Out There?

    Same here. The craving for a cigarette is akin to craving we get to breath if we hold our breath, or the hunger we feel after not eating for a while, the sense of thirst, etc. Our bodies tend to treat...
  6. Any smokers Out There?

    Quitting is so much easier than everyone thinks. I used to think I was bounded by it and that it was the hardest thing in life to do. Then I realized that every point I made about it being so "hard"...
  7. Night Shift Neglect.

    That's horrible that they know that she is a poor CNA... Seems like she's not the only one at fault here if they are keeping her on board! Props to you for writing her

  9. a lpn wihout previous experience, lock in a retail job

    maybe i should mention that speech therapy is actually common for people that are learning to speak english as a second language. speech therapy isn't always for people that have disabilities. i...
  10. a lpn wihout previous experience, lock in a retail job

    Wowza. Sometimes, it's better to close the browser than reply to posts that emotionally affect you. Having poor spoken English is a huge turn off for most jobs that involves face-to-face customer...
  11. Nurses & Emergency Scenes

    This person should not be in health care, in my opinion... And what is with all the people that go out on daily tasks with scrubs on? (This woman showed up in her scrubs) Maybe it's just me that...
  12. a lpn wihout previous experience, lock in a retail job

    Retail job = Customer service + experience = Great people skills. Surely you've had to use your skills to calm down the more disgruntled customers. This is a great asset to have and should be...
  13. I'm just, disgusted........whatever.

    I took it as a joke, not as the poster being serious haha It's usually the women that are told to bat their eyelashes at the men, hence I thought it was a joke I'm the kind of person that doesn't...
  14. Resignation

    In the notice, just be sure to state which date will be your last working day. Call it a notice rather than a two week notice of
  15. Nursing Truths: They don't want you to know about!

    one thing i learned, which i never knew before (no idea why i didn't know this) is that nurses' first job is to be there for the patient's mind, soul, spirit, etc. one cannot heal [well] without...
  16. Best shoes ever?

    The reason they have been banned here is actually in part due to back injuries. They are considered a major slipping and tripping hazard. If your crocs cause you to fall and injure yourself in BC, you...
  17. Is this odd to you too?

    I don't see it anymore odd than a nurse referring to a family member's deceased love one as just an empty
  18. Reamed for ordering an ethics consult

    What an awesome nurse you
  19. Why did his nurses do this?

    I'm truly sorry for your loss. I won't even pretend to know what you are going through. We can only guess that we know why some people do things. One of the very first things we learn in nursing is...
  20. I feel horrible

    To echo the theme here, that is nursing. No nurse is perfect! She likely was having a bad day. next time you see her, just follow up with how the rest of the night was and be as empathetic and caring...
