  1. Why don't you just read the chart?

    canigraduate replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why do we put up with this crap? I am really beginning to get sick of being treated like that. What is so godawful important that we can't have one more nurse available so we can all effing pee three...

  2. how much do you pay on student loans per month

    canigraduate replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm still around $40K after 20 years and 3 rounds of college. I am apparently a debt junkie. My current payment is $327 on two separate loans, one consolidated and one not, but I usually pay...

  3. A question??

    canigraduate replied to Salisburysteak's topic in Patient Medications

    Yup, what Muno said. The incompatibility thing doesn't make sense to me, because you'd need to change all of the tubing and have a different IV site/line for each incompatible ABX or med. What if...

  4. Lost CNA Hospital job

    canigraduate replied to altolover's topic in General Students

    When you start a new job, you need to be on your best behavior for the first several months. Having 3 occurrences and a patient complaint a little over 60 days is a lot. A whole lot. Way more than...

  5. Why don't you just read the chart?

    canigraduate replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll admit that when I'm slammed, haven't peed for six hours, am dealing with chest pain (mine and/or a patient's), haven't been able to stop long enough to chart a single assessment, and am needed in...

  6. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    Here's some adorableness for

  7. Your worst nightmare (Part deux)

    canigraduate replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    Man, reliving work days has to be the worst. Although, TriciaJ, being unable to eat deliciousness that's right in front of you is pure

  8. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    Being a nurse and hating people is the same as being a forest ranger and hating trees. You don't see Smokey the Bear telling the trees to stop looking at him. I don't understand why respondents are...

  9. Just a fantasy, or something I should persue?

    canigraduate replied to Madigan's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    You kind of sound like an adrenaline junkie. Maybe you could look into aerial firefighting. Those people are crazy dedicated and, well, crazy. I talked with a flight nurse in Michigan. She loved it....

  10. Is This Behavior Inappropriate?

    canigraduate replied to Arizona#1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm... Touchy subject. I'll throw in my weight on the side of the take it up the ladder approach. Since you haven't heard from management, email your HR rep. Do it all in writing and keep it...

  11. Was I right, wrong, or am I going crazy

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh. I'm deleting all my bookmarks for nursingaround1's posts. I'm pretty mad at myself for falling for the click bait title on this one. This has gone beyond ridiculous into the realm of...

  12. Resume/Cover letter Help Needed

    canigraduate replied to jst4layne's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wouldn't say anything in the cover letter, because it's your sales pitch and you don't want to highlight any negatives. I would put it in the body of your resume and address it during interviews....

  13. Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    canigraduate replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on how much hands on care you are going to be doing. 7.5-8 on the MOHS isn't so bad, but you are more likely to have your stone chipped or scratched. I had a nice opal (around...

  14. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    Forget Bones. I want to be a squint! Then you can play with bugs and intestines and dirt. So

  15. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    It's like the Kardashians. You know it's fake, you know it's stupid, but you really want to find out how Scott weasels his way out of this one. (Disclaimer: I don't actually watch the Kardashians, but...

  16. Nursing Shortage: Yea or Nay?

    canigraduate replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    The last few major cities I've been hired in have a shortage of experienced nurses, but not new grads.

  17. It's not my job to pray with you.

    canigraduate replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I grew up Southern Baptist, and even though I'm mostly agnostic now (my relationship with religion is complicated), I still love the old hymns. I sang plenty for demented LOLs in the South because it...

  18. So why are you here, really?

    canigraduate replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm ready to deactivate my FB, too. My cousin posted about shredding babies and there was this whole stone and mutilate dogs thing that was going around. If it wasn't the only way I could get a hold...

  19. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    OP, if you are serious, nursing school is going to be a serious eye opener for you. You are going to see people at their absolute worst. If you hate normal people, you will despise sick people,...

  24. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    canigraduate replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Didn't you see that post going around of residents

  25. How to get used to/deal with the inconsistencies of per diem work

    canigraduate replied to BertG77's topic in Agency Nurses

    Yup. They usually tell you that you have a DNR (do not return) if they are cancelling you for job
