  1. Teacher Wants to Medicate Pre-Schooler

    canigraduate replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Nothing wrong with doing what works. Letting a child languish and feel that they are inferior because they can't keep up and can't make friends is just fricking

  2. New Graduate RN having preceptor commucation problems

    canigraduate replied to Kaytayxx's topic in General Nursing

    You've gotten plenty of emotional support, so here's some practical advice. Stop letting her treat you this way. It is wrong. Her conflicting demands on you have you second guessing yourself. First,...

  3. New student, severe anxiety...

    canigraduate replied to Cynthiahatespatho's topic in General Students

    First, you need to practice some kind of stress relief. You've got yourself seriously wigged out, which means it doesn't matter what learning style you use, 'cause nothing's going to stick. Take up...

  4. Teacher Wants to Medicate Pre-Schooler

    canigraduate replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Yeah, me and my two brothers weren't treated and only one of us was diagnosed as a child. We're all pretty socially unacceptable. I'm a hermit and they're jerks. My one brother is in and out of jail,...

  5. Thrown off orientation too early??

    canigraduate replied to banpoprock's topic in General Nursing

    Calm down, take a few deep breaths. Yes, there are a few little things you missed. No, they are not that big of a deal. You need to have a talk with that nurse and tell her you don't appreciate being...

  6. NLEX-RN out of school for 3 years -need program to teach me the material

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

    My suggestions: 1) Go on YouTube or iTunes U and look for free nursing course lectures. They are there. I use them to review from time to time. 2) Suck it up and go back to a good school. Start saving...

  7. Sorry-help again..

    canigraduate replied to RN_TOBE's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First, find the concentration of your med. Then take the number of units you want, divide it by the number you have on hand, and multiply by the volume to get your answer. This is a standard formula...

  8. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    canigraduate replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Why wasn't this on my weekly list?!? Purp? Far? I hold you responsable. Ouch. Responsible. I can't even... I'm so behind now, I will never catch up! I can only read a page and a half at a time before...

  9. Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    canigraduate replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    Because aides come into contact with more bodily fluids than anyone else on the floors. It is courteous to let them know when to be extra vigilant about accidental

  10. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    canigraduate replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    You just refuse to get it. We are not there for the student. We are there for the patient. The student is way down on the priority list. Think of your ABC's and your delegation priorities. Where is...

  11. Teacher Wants to Medicate Pre-Schooler

    canigraduate replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    My nephew is severely ADHD. I knew it when he was three. His parents were in denial until he couldn't cope with school. He has some self esteem issues now because he thinks he's a bad kid. The...

  12. Please stop making that sound !

    canigraduate replied to WhiteStockings's topic in General Nursing

    I hum or do some other noise to block it out. I make sure to look away from the source of the noise, too. Seeing the action makes it worse. When all else fails, I cover the ear nearest to the noise...

  13. Nursing student hair color change for more respect

    canigraduate replied to Vonqiqi's topic in General Students

    Your comment doesn't match your name. "Fixing to" is a regionally accepted term that means "getting ready to." Just because you aren't impressed by it doesn't mean it's bad. PS - Your post is really...

  14. Do not order scrubs from scrubland beyond.com

    canigraduate replied to SarahLizzyLVN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Man, you had to go and get all logical on me. **wink** I usually buy my scrubs online, unless I need them in a hurry. Then I hit Wal-Mart and get one or two sets to hold me until the ones I order come...

  15. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    canigraduate replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Not on allnurses.com, it isn't. Your attitude has ensured that your opinion will be disregarded, if anyone else bothers to read your posts. You picked a really bad day to be rude to us. 'Bye, Brian....

  16. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    canigraduate replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I hope I never have to meet you. You have zero idea of what you are talking about and you are rude to boot. You need to can that attitude. Nursing isn't an apprentice system. If it comes down to the...

  17. If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    canigraduate replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    Probably not. OK, definitely not. I would have stayed a CNA. I actually enjoyed that and never dreaded going to work. Pay sucks, though. But, I want a lot of do-overs, not just nursing. There was that...

  18. Do not order scrubs from scrubland beyond.com

    canigraduate replied to SarahLizzyLVN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Jeez, OC. Really? The buyer should be omniscient and know all the seller's unwritten rules? I'm on the OP's side on this one. If you can't provide a service, then don't advertise it. And for DANG...

  19. Brian Short News

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

    I was hoping this was a Facebook hoax. I'm in shock, as I'm sure everyone else is. I'd like to ask everyone to bow your heads in a moment of silence and reflection, and prayers if you pray, for the...

  20. Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    canigraduate replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It makes me extra careful with my sharps. I also clean up any blood spills with hospital approved chemicals. As far as treating the patient differently, heck to the NO. Professionalism, anyone?...

  21. Why did you want to be a nurse?

    canigraduate replied to cantgowrongwithjwong's topic in General Nursing

    After the last economy crash, I needed a job that was more flexible and was more stable. Helping people is a bonus, but I am not "called" to it. And there's all kinds of cool gore. Had a patient on...

  22. "Job Filled".... What?

    canigraduate replied to kass333's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of facilities post open jobs that are only open for a certain window to keep down on the number of applicants. For example, they'll post the job for 2 weeks or a month and just use that pool of...

  23. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    canigraduate replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get why y'all keep talking to these morons like they're reasonable

  24. Supervisior causing problems, what should I do?

    canigraduate replied to sunshiny1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. So you know better than everyone else? You have a serious attitude and entitlement problem. I'm surprised they've been this patient with your insubordination. It's like you WANT to be fired....

  25. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    canigraduate replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Geez, does no one watch Monty Python? Way to be stupid and aggressive to someone who has bowed out of the thread. I just happened to stop by out of curiosity. I'm all ticked now. Won't make that...
