  1. Dumb question...How do you clean up poop?

    tara07733 replied to NEMurse95's topic in General Nursing

  2. Socially needy coworkers

    tara07733 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this resolution. Otherwise it will just be a cycle of her seeking attention and others gossiping behind her back. This way it's at least done in a friendlier way and she'll know that...

  3. Am I over thinking this? Opinions appreciated.

    tara07733 replied to Futuremurse23's topic in General Students

    I agree with this advice. Don't worry yourself over this. It is completely possibly that you misread the instructor or maybe, to some degree, are projecting some worry about being part of a small...

  4. Small Professional Victory

    tara07733 replied to AvaRose's topic in General Nursing

    That is awesome! At least now you know that it really had nothing to do with you. He probably would have had the same reaction to anyone who had called him at that particular moment. It's also good to...

  5. Received a strange email from a hiring manager... Please Help

    tara07733 replied to Ebussman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I won't lie and say that I would probably feel the same way IF I were in your shoes. However, being on the outside and reading what she said it doesn't seem angry to me. It could just be that she was...

  6. Should I get my CNA cert during Prerequisites or after first semester of NS?

    tara07733 replied to Skippy97's topic in General Students

    I would do it while completing prerequisites. My school required taking CNA, PCT or HHA course and many of my classmates obtained employment in hopes of having an 'in' upon finishing the program. At...

  7. How many weeks are clinicals usually

    tara07733 replied to Enoch82's topic in School, College Programs

    Our semesters are 15 weeks with about 13 weeks of clinical. We can make up one clinical (they discourage any absences but know that sometimes emergencies come up) but anything more than that is cause...

  8. What makes a good manager?

    tara07733 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    That's the kind of manager that the thought of her leaving sends chills down your spine. She sounds great; you are

  9. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

    tara07733 replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    You weren't asking for opinion or discussion but would you have been okay with everyone blowing off your post without so much as an acknowledgement? Look, I'm not a nurse yet at all but i am older...

  10. Applying for Jobs pre-grad

    tara07733 replied to smartiipants's topic in General Nursing

    How is it possible that some people graduate with jobs (some of them don't even already work for the facility)? Do these places hold the job openings or could it be that the student (s) networked with...

  11. Help a new grad understand?!

    tara07733 replied to riRN16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So when do you get really good at putting all the 'pieces' together. I'm in my 3rd semester of an ASN program and I feel like I should already know the rationale behind what you wrote -- and I get...

  12. HELP! Threats to call BON!

    tara07733 replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree with this

  13. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    tara07733 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes! And I go as far as saying that many, if not most, are taught early on not to talk about money/personal finances at all. Which could have something to do with the lack of knowledge about money and...

  14. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    tara07733 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Reading this thread has been very interesting. All my life I've always heard "don't talk about your salary with coworkers." I never questioned it, as most people it seems have not. Never once did I...

  15. My Minnie Introduction

    tara07733 replied to NaturallyMinnie's topic in General Students

    Hi Minnie and welcome! I love your play on words (Minnie/mini

  16. Some days.......

    tara07733 replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Therein lies the difference. I am extremely careful, almost methodical with my word choices. There's an internal censor in me that lets up very rarely so it is very hard for me to imagine being the...

  17. Some days.......

    tara07733 replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Point lost yet again by many (not all). ill leave this tidbit here and then I'm done. NO ONE (I repeat, no one) is saying not to give down-to-earth opinions or advice. There are quite a few ladies...

  18. Some days.......

    tara07733 replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I'll bite. That was me who posted that response. As an FYI, that response wasn't just about that particular post as much as what I see is a recurring behavior from you. It has nothing to do with 'new...

  19. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    tara07733 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Makes you wonder about the one who quit immediately. I mean, I can see being perturbed by finding out a relative newbie us making more than you but there had to be more to why she left. Maybe this was...

  20. Nursing Calculations

    tara07733 replied to Cmmc911's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just ordered a book from Amazon called Calculating Drug Dosages by Sandra Luz Martines de Castillo and Maryanne Werner-McCullough. I just started it to brush up before the new semester begins. I...

  21. Is $28,000 worth it becoming a Surgical Tec

    tara07733 replied to Blue Robin's topic in General Nursing

    Don't do it. That sounds like a for-profit school (I very, very briefly worked for one) and many are overpriced, provide no job search assistance, and aren't even

  22. got fired/terminated

    tara07733 replied to YesYesRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just did a bunch of online applications this past weekend and all of them asked reason for leaving. Most of the also asked if they could contact each of the employers that were put on their (you...

  23. Should I drop out

    tara07733 replied to Dsosa's topic in Canada

    Registered practical nurse

  24. Am I allowed to start a donation to help deceased pt funeral funds??

    tara07733 replied to LbyNrs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nope, there is none of that here. I've seen so many GoFundMe accts set up solely for funerals because the families were poor and/or had no insurance, especially for the death of a

  25. Bad situation and mad coworker? What could I have done?

    tara07733 replied to missind33's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sitting here reading the OP and I'm thinking the doctor seems to be making more work for himself by not ordering the pre-operation meds. I thought I was missing something too when no one brought...
