  1. To tell or not to tell!

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

    Well, you've got the sarcasm and sniping down pat. You're probably passive-aggressive, too. You should fit right in. And it's HIPAA. HIPPA makes me think of dancing

  2. To tell or not to tell!

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

    Seriously. If you want patients to advocate for, you should probably try to stay

  3. Being Bullied

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

    Honestly, OP, until you learn to deal with this kind of behavior, bullying will follow you. It did me. If there is one bully in the building, he/she will be drawn to you like a magnet. Please learn...

  4. To tell or not to tell!

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

    You are coming across as nitpicky and petty, and overly defensive. It is OK to be upset at these things, because you were taught differently. It is NOT OK to run tattling about every little thing you...

  5. Not a Nursing Question, but Has to Do with Work, So...

    canigraduate replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Their transportation is not your problem, it is theirs. It doesn't matter that there is no public transportation. They have a way TO work, so they can probably find a way home. Give yourself...

  6. Prior history of verbal abuse

    canigraduate replied to BSN_TN's topic in General Students

    I've been on the receiving end of verbal abuse and it is not fun, to say the least. Honestly, I had to reprogram my mind. Every time I thought, "I am stupid," "Why did I think I could do this?", or...

  7. Other student needs too much help

    canigraduate replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    You are enabling her, not helping her. It would help her if you let her figure out how to help herself. "Give a man fish, he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime." In...

  8. Was Pharm a biggie on the nclex-rn?

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

    Depends. If you are good at pharm, then don't study as much. I only had a few questions. The test zooms in on what you're iffy at, so if you are iffy at Pharm, then study the crap out of it. I was...

  9. Being Bullied

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

    Part of the problem seems to be your own fear of her. I have been bullied, and very successfully. When I stopped being afraid and began to be assertive with the bully, my life changed for the better....

  10. Non-FIT Nurses and FIT Nurses

    canigraduate replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

  11. Not a Nursing Question, but Has to Do with Work, So...

    canigraduate replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    You don't even have to say "My circumstances have changed." Honestly, the first time one of them waited by my car without asking and definitely as soon as a snarky remark was made, I would have been...

  12. Being an individual

    canigraduate replied to Circulate's topic in Men in Nursing

    Iron your scrubs or have them tailored. I've noticed that most men's scrubs are ridiculously large and boxy, and most guy nurses I've seen wouldn't know what an iron was if it hit them on the head....

  13. Non-FIT Nurses and FIT Nurses

    canigraduate replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    For those of you who want to try the Awesome pasta, I wrote down what I did last time. I hate dishes, so this is the one-pan one-pot method. I use a deep twelve-inch stainless steel skillet for the...

    canigraduate replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Haha! I didn't realize that pic would post so big. Here's a smaller

  15. Question from Husband of Night Shift Nurse

    canigraduate replied to ioter's topic in Health, Stress Management

  16. How to not Fail/Get kicked out/Get bullied?

    canigraduate replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Here's a quick rundown of things not to do: 1) Fail tests 2) Fall asleep in class and/or clinical (Seriously! Had a student get kicked out this week for this.) 3) Falsify documentation 4) HIPAA...

  17. marriage and nursing school

    canigraduate replied to futureRN721's topic in General Students

    That still works for me. Seriously, though, it sounds like your husband needs to develop a hobby or find some friends to hang out with. You aren't going to have time to entertain him. One night a...

  18. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    canigraduate replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Because getting in to see someone in less than a month usually takes an act of God. 4 days after is just out and out ridiculous. You won the therapist

  19. How to pay for school?

    canigraduate replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My pre-reqs, diploma program, and RN-to-MSN bridge are going to cost less than 25K all together. I don't know what your reasons for being hellbent on going to this school are OP, but I will warn you...

  20. Questions on WGU before applying

    canigraduate replied to 11nick's topic in Western Governors University

    I just enrolled last weekend and I spoke with my enrollment counselor for the first time today. My counselor asked me when I wanted to begin my first term. You may be able to delay your start date...

  21. Nurse retention

    canigraduate replied to mombuxx's topic in General Nursing

    Well, since I leave positions so often, I will tell you why they can't keep me. 1) My husband gets transferred/promoted a lot and I go where he goes. 2) No job has paid enough or given me enough...

  22. How to pay for school?

    canigraduate replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nobody has mentioned this yet, and I'm sure this isn't the most popular option, but you may need to delay a semester and save up enough money. Do you have enough for your books, and everything else? I...

  23. Dissatisfied RN

    canigraduate replied to Viictoriaann's topic in General Nursing

    Once you get your year under your belt, I would suggest finding a position that feeds into your need for change/challenge. I have ADHD and I get restless at my job, usually after 6 months. What...
