  1. Residency program vs Rehab job

    canigraduate replied to mlowell20's topic in General Nursing

    I would set the hospital on fire before taking $13/hr. Seriously. I made more than that as a cashier. Ten, no, fifteen years

  2. Doctors Don't Always Listen: Bridging the Communication Gap

    canigraduate replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    There was a hospital I worked at in a city slum that let the docs get away with everything just so they would keep coming in to the hospital. This type of scenario would happen at least once a week to...

  3. should the press be exempt from adhering to HIPAA laws?

    canigraduate replied to 1wellnessnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wish everyone was held to HIPAA standards. I have to do it, by golly, so should everyone else. Besides, if I have to hear about Uncle Mike's hemorrhoids one more

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

    canigraduate replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thanks, that was bugging the crap out of me. I have worked in places with large Muslim populations and can't believe I forgot something that

  7. Funniest thing you've heard in an interview

    canigraduate replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    I look quite fetching in

  8. Your worst nightmare

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I still like you, even though you are not credible in the least. You're becoming a parody like NOADLS, except you irritate most of the long time posters. Y'all take five minutes and think about the...

    canigraduate replied to RN_SummerSeas's topic in General Nursing

    I thought this was an interesting thread as I hold none of the degrees in question. Oooh, the diploma nurse. It makes life's little name-badge decisions much easier. (Yes, I am laughing at you. This...

  10. Reporting another nurse

    canigraduate replied to imaLvn2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. Instead of focusing on the person who's job is now in jeopardy, think of the person who's life is no longer in

  11. Funniest thing you've heard in an interview

    canigraduate replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was asked what fruit I would choose to be. I told them I would be a fruit basket, because I don't like to be limited to one thing. I got the

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

    canigraduate replied to BertG77's topic in Agency Nurses

    I have an agency job in Phoenix and I have been consistently cancelled 4/5 shifts since May. Summer is a big time for canceling, as the census usually drops. If you need more hours, your best bet is...

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

    canigraduate replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Stop right there. It is not lying to stand by and be respectful. I wouldn't advocate pretending to pray, just be quiet and be respectful. It is lying if you say, "Yes, I am Buddhist, too, I will be...

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

    canigraduate replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I would be honest and say "I am not familiar with your beliefs and I will be happy to help, but you will have to teach me. Would you rather I call a rabbi/(Muslim preacher)?" Ugh, brain block. What...

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

    canigraduate replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Point taken. I think it is silly to send out for someone to stand there, however, when the nurse could do it and be done with it in less than a minute. Much like I think it is not okay to call for an...

  16. How do you handle narcissist patients?

    canigraduate replied to mikala3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The OP isn't labeling or categorizing anyone. She's asking how to deal with a difficult

  17. Noncompliant diabetic patients

    canigraduate replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I know too many diabetics personally, I guess. It doesn't bother me when they ask for stuff outside their diet. I have no problem saying no and if they want anything other than what the doc ordered,...

  18. But all the Nurse is doing is sitting down. Why cant the help?

    canigraduate replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing

    A little background: I worked LTC and acute care as a CNA and have only done acute care as an RN. I have never worked as an LPN, just worked with them on a team and taught clinicals for them. As a...

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

    canigraduate replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    It is your job, however, to provide spiritually appropriate care. If someone asks you to pray with them, you can stand there and be silent while they pray. If they want you to pray over them, then...

  21. Want to bash the job listings SOOO bad.

    canigraduate posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I see so many job listings down in the corner on the desktop website. With all of the personalized ads based off of your location, a lot of them are for facilities I've worked. Some of those...

  22. How do you handle narcissist patients?

    canigraduate replied to mikala3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The word narcissist is way older than modern medicine, so please drop it. Since this isn't a psychiatry board, it's a good bet the OP is using it as it is defined in general usage, not as a medical...

  24. How do you leave it at work?

    canigraduate replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol. I can't tell if you meant this as a slam or a compliment, but yeah, RubyVee's kinda unstoppable. Most of us enjoy that about
