  1. Odd interactions

  2. Is it true all nurses get MRSA or C-DIFF?

    canigraduate replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I got a poop pop just for you, my

  3. Grumpy at change of shift (11-7)

    canigraduate replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I do. Trust me. If it keeps up, there will be a

  4. Grumpy at change of shift (11-7)

    canigraduate replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    At the place I work now, day shift comes in, clocks in at the door at 0658, goes to get coffee, then comes on the unit 10-15 min late for report. Drives me crazy. Shift ends at 0700 and I don't leave...

  5. Drug seekers

    canigraduate replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    I just think it's crazy that our profession prides itself on being compassionate to rapists, murderers, gangsters, and whatever human filth comes through the door, but let an addict come

  6. Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    canigraduate replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would reconsider your employment choices or actively work to get this person fired. No need to put up with that

  7. When you just don't want to go to work....

    canigraduate replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that way every day. I just go because I have to. I used to have panic attacks and my husband would talk me through them. Once I get there, it's not so bad. I like the people I work with. I...

  8. Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    canigraduate replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    I am always baffled by students who post this. Can't you ask one of the nurses when you're in clinical? Or does this assignment typically come up in Fundamentals before clinicals? Can't you ask one of...

  9. Correcting Others mistakes?

    canigraduate replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    The CNA thing is gross. Pull her aside and tell her not to do that. Ewww. Be nice and say something like, "Always do the peri-area last so you don't spread poop." Because, EWWW. As far as the heparin...

  10. honeymoon during orientation

    canigraduate replied to notah's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody I've worked for would be okay with that. You would be asked to start later, if you were hired at all. However, the question you're asking is very premature. First, you have to graduate, then...

  11. A coworker made me so mad!

    canigraduate replied to typoagain's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ouch. Put my foot in it that time, eh? I apologize. I was raised with a lot of overbearing guys as a product of my birth religion. It probably still colors my perceptions. Still, it was wrong of me...

  12. Nominate Your Favorite Nurse: #NURSESEARCH

    canigraduate replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The pics I pulled up looked like an anorexic 14 year old with makeup on an inch deep. Barf. BTW - You keep saying HWSNBN's name, he'll show up.

  13. A coworker made me so mad!

    canigraduate replied to typoagain's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would have been mad. Typical male "white knight" behavior. Anytime a guy swoops in and tries to save the day, I am sorely tempted to kick him in the shins. It just undermines you and destroys your...

  17. WGU-Biochem

    canigraduate replied to LM NY's topic in Western Governors University

    For biochem, I used a white board for diagrams, pipe cleaners/pompoms for one model, and toothpicks/gumdrops for another model. I love arts & crafts. I have a Mac. I used Pages to create the...

  18. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    canigraduate replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A couple of things - listen to your instincts. ADHDers are often very intuitive. Even though you can't explain WHY you know an answer is right, believe in yourself when you choose it. Your brain holds...

    canigraduate replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Awwww, I DID overreact. I'm sorry, too. Anyway, I wrote an article about ADHD and how it feels to have it, and be judged by it. Here's the link:...

  21. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    canigraduate replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Jensmom7, it is because of your history as a non-jerk that I am so upset. That post really hurt my feelings. If you feel that way about someone taking the NCLEX... I have a tendency to take things too...

  22. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    canigraduate replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You are way out of line. NCLEX style tests don't happen at work. Many nurses work with ADHD. I'm one of them. I know dozens more. Having trouble taking tests does not equate to being unable to...

  23. Should Our Study Group Allow a Failing Student to Join?

    canigraduate replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is what I thought of when I saw your

    canigraduate replied to Gcossio's topic in General Nursing

    Apply everywhere. I know some CNAs who went straight to the hospital. I had to work eight months in LTC first, though. ETA: You're

  25. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    canigraduate replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    'Cause white people have a larger proportion of rich elitist snobs than do minorities. Seriously, I don't know. It sounds like your patient populations come from mixed cultures. Some cultures respect...
