  1. I'm a sexless nurse

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Why, 'cause women are liars and sexual predators? Because that's what you're implying. Jeez. Way to pick on an entire sex. You can usually tell the nut jobs beforehand, and I usually grab a witness...

  2. indefinite suspension because of med error

    canigraduate replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Jeez. That'll teach me to answer a question. I believe the OP is posting for a friend. Never doubted it. I just don't like getting jumped on for answering a question. If you don't want to know, don't...

  3. Please don't call me Dude

    canigraduate replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    One of the things I like about my part of the South is that you can be a ma'am at 10. I used to help out with Vacation Bible School and got ma'am'd by the 4 year olds. It made me feel so grown up! And...

  4. Sexy male scrubs

    canigraduate replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    Not gonna lie, I love a hot guy in scrubs. I had an innocent eyeball-crush on a friend in my first nursing job. He was cut and filled out his Cherokees very well. Something about a guy with nice...

  5. Advice for a flustered pre-nursing student

    canigraduate replied to jz16's topic in Nursing Career

    What you are feeling is pretty common. It sounds like you have built up nursing in your mind into something terrifying. Try to relax and focus on what you like about your job. Being a tech is nothing...

  6. What would you suggest to your preceptor if..

    canigraduate replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Another thought. I always preferred a collaborative approach, rather than just being observed. Having people watch me makes me super nervous and more likely to screw up. So, I like a preceptor who at...

  7. indefinite suspension because of med error

    canigraduate replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No, I just catch flame easily when people send sparks my

  8. What would you suggest to your preceptor if..

    canigraduate replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a special snowflake (I wish people would stop using that in such a condescending way, I'd rather be called the p-word that means kitty). I have psych issues that translate into hypersensitivity to...

  9. indefinite suspension because of med error

    canigraduate replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You just like to cause trouble. 😆 The next time I ask a question and then jump down your throat for answering, feel free to call me on it. And, addylpn, if you want to ask a rhetorical...

  10. Please don't call me Dude

    canigraduate replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! I love this thread. Out in the wilds of Eastern NC, you won't even get a "hon", you'll get a straight "shug," short for sugar, or "cuss", short for cousin. What's really funny is hearing them try...

  11. Pay grade: experienced nurse vs new grad

    canigraduate replied to rehric00's topic in General Nursing

    I have said it before, but I will say it again - job hoppers get a bad rep, but we laugh all the way to the bank. If I had stayed in my original nursing job, I would be making around $23-24 an hour,...

  12. Waiting on phone interview...?

    canigraduate replied to ladylawless2317's topic in General Nursing

    Call your recruiter or the first person you interviewed with and check in. In my experience, if an interviewer tells me to expect a call, it happens within 48 hours. This person may need a nudge, or...

  13. It finally happened: I have an interview!

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

    Hi! I have a few suggestions for you. 1) They will ask you critical thinking questions. For example, on my last interview, I was asked to prioritize several tasks based on a scenario. I was also...

  14. Backpack for a interview

    canigraduate replied to CticuRN95's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would take something more professional-looking, like a tote or rolling bag. You can get a decent tote at a discount store like Ross, Marshall's, or TJ Maxx for $40 bucks or less. I have a...

  15. morbidly obese patients

    canigraduate replied to blackribbon's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm fat now, and I wasn't two years ago. In my case, it's a psych issue and an emotional problem. I eat when I'm stressed, upset, or emotional. I eat when I am depressed or anxious. I eat when I'm...

  16. knock it off or i'm going to put you in restraints!

    canigraduate replied to celery_juice's topic in Psychiatric

    Also, when a person is being obnoxious or is escalating, it is usually too late to tell them about the restraints in a way that they will receive the communication therapeutically. It is best to make...

  17. advice? asked to go home during shift

    canigraduate replied to artreid's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's pretty obvious that the OP doesn't understand what happened and why. I would advise you to make an appointment with the manager to find out what exactly it was that they think you did...

  18. indefinite suspension because of med error

    canigraduate replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you didn't want to hear the answer, you should've kept your mouth shut. Overreact

  19. Has anyone else "sensed" when something was wrong with a patient?

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

    It happens in my family all the time. According to the rare research I've seen, it occurs a lot more often to those with Irish/Celt or Gypsy/Romany ancestors. Some people are gifted, most are not,...

  20. You will all probably hate me for this

    canigraduate replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this was one of the posts I was referring to that my mama would be ashamed

  21. You will all probably hate me for this

    canigraduate replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Look back a few posts and you'll see what I meant. I have no problem with you, I thought your post was funny. But you did reply to missnurse1989 like she was stupid and childish. It's interesting to...

  22. You will all probably hate me for this

    canigraduate replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, but I keep coming late into the threads after they've been closed. I normally hit that button like it's a Jeopardy buzzer when it's

  23. You will all probably hate me for this

    canigraduate replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, the gang's all here! I'm waiting for the personal attacks and the name calling to begin. (I like fighting with the

  24. You will all probably hate me for this

    canigraduate replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Reply to klone: Lol! This one took me a while to figure out, but it's a saying that basically means the posters who post the most were the ones hit the hardest. So, the dogs who were hit by the OP's...

  25. You will all probably hate me for this

    canigraduate replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Really? It's the first sentence, where it is implied that the poster is too dumb to know which site she is on and is so childish as to need handholding. And I didn't complain, I specifically said I...
