    Gennaver replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Tulip, Happy to read you vent, glad you did. :) I feel lucky that during my undergrad studies (BA in Sociology with Psychology minor) that my theory professor was so practical. He was also the...

    BSN? Looking for someone who knows about NP/MSN

    Gennaver replied to sn216's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi Donna, With your BSN there are plenty of Universities you could attend to work towards the MSN/NP. I graduated from SXU with my undergrad and they have the NP/MSN, (I guess it would not take long...

    Please help me understand/Domestic Violence Question

    Gennaver replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Bipley, Hope this response is received well. If you still love your parents, then I am surprised that you cannot relate to the feelings of a wife or child who also loves their abuser. Abusers do...

    Gennaver replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Thanks again for this information. I am waiting on a back order from Dickies. Two of my classmates ordered them as well, before our quarter started and they had to wait weeks as well. Now I am...

    Gennaver replied to sunshelley's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    :) Gwenith, No worries, you didn't rain. The tangle fairy is notorious! I cannot yet imagine the wonders the fair can work with the added equipment from Neuro. I do not start until after...

    No Relief, Embarrasing Moment

    Gennaver replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hello Marie, You know what, you are right. You let them know many times throughout the day that you needed relief, (you should not have needed to give them a blow by blow breakdown either, needed...

    So, I was offered a neuro ICU internship position....

    Gennaver replied to sunshelley's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Hi, This is one that won't bother me. My previous floors/units involved plenty of road trips as well but they were usually for dialysis, or pt/ot, or imaging or even nuclear med. None of those took a...

    Another pet peeve....ER nurses who treat us like idiots

    Gennaver replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hi there, I read a similar rule of thirds in a book titled something like, "Memoirs of a country Doctor" from an Illinois doctor. Nice read.

    What was harder? Non-nursing bachelors or ADN?

    Gennaver replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Hi SMK1, This is what I overheard one of my coworkers relaying to another that she had told her daughter, (this was in 1986 when I was working as a CNA and really first started to think about becoming...

    Anyone wearing team logo scrubs?

    Gennaver replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

    Marie, A friend of mine was a fit model for a company. The way she explained it, the patterns were made to match her size 8, 5'8" frame, (very narrow waist and curvy hourglass). In order to make the...

    Anyone wearing team logo scrubs?

    Gennaver replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

    :) I so very much concur. As I mentioned previously...it HAS been since the 80's that I have been flipping the high-elastic over. Also, as someone who is taller I found that the taper in those taper...

    Anyone wearing team logo scrubs?

    Gennaver replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Still Riding, I would like to share my preference for things below my umbilicus also. At almost forty I thank goodness that low rise has returned again. They went out the last time while I was in...

    Gennaver replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I think you manager is rude and narrow minded. From what I hear from nurses that I have worked with, (some with BAs or BS' in other fields, both the liberal arts and sciences) the RN is hard not...

    Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    Gennaver replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, This sounds like a great idea. Tweak it down to present properly. Many of my current classmates, (in a graduate entry program) have very impressive work/academic experiences. Some have very...

    Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    Gennaver replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Chris at Lucas RN, You are right. It is too difficult to remove the agism in this situation. Had they told you beforehand that your qualifications were more than the position required or so on,...

    Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    Gennaver replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi SmilingBlueEyes, This is the avenue I would suggest the OP consider too. Quite possibly the new employer realized that they and she were not best suited for each other. One door closed...another...

    Gennaver replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Chris at lucas RN, My experience is only similar in that I didn't get what I wanted...I applied to a graduate entry program and was passed up! Sure I later got into my second choice school but, it...

    NurseKitty, The actions described above are unnaceptable. It makes no sense either that your facility allowed this woman to sit in urine for 7 hours!? Not only are the instructors and the student at...
