  2. Would you join the Army Nurse Corps? Why or Why not?

    PostOpPrincess replied to clc19k30's topic in General Nursing

    I actually looked into it when I was younger and was told that I was "too nice too look at" and would end up probably harassed all the time. This from a friend who was in the army at the

  5. Clueless Patients and The Problems They Cause

    PostOpPrincess replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's worth asking ourselves: are most patients stupid? If so, nursing--or at least some particular area of nursing--may not be the best career choice. Is it only a few? What, if anything, do they...

  6. Clueless Patients and The Problems They Cause

    PostOpPrincess replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is the right thing to do so you don't get annoyed. But, let's face it, there are still stupid people out there. Some are nice stupid. Some are not nice stupid. Pardon me for my

  8. Nursing prerequisites vs. nursing school - degree of difficulty?

    PostOpPrincess replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

  11. OMG The Doctors at my facility are out of control.

    PostOpPrincess replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you for walking away. However, he had a point too. For the rapid response, you should notify the IM and let him defer to the closest IM resident. The surgeon does only surgical stuff and...

  12. Shady shift change

    PostOpPrincess replied to 86toronado's topic in General Nursing

    Patient Abandonment. Consequences: Loss of job Ultimate Consequence: Loss of license. You were put in a position that endangered patients. You do not have a choice; you must enlighten upper...

  13. Nursing=Abuse?

    PostOpPrincess replied to ajroth19's topic in General Nursing

    Less experience does not equate less respect. I am explaining MY situation and MY situation alone. In other words, WE don't put up with NADA and it is a RARE physician (SURGEON ESPECIALLY) who even...

  14. Any INFP nurses out there?

    PostOpPrincess replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have explained the personality of one of the nurses I work with. Interesting. She has a hard time working with me, unfortunately, because I am very succinct, and forthright. I see her as too...

  15. random post: comparing roles of nurses and doctors to stereotypical parenting....

    PostOpPrincess replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    That's an interesting perspective, but I don't see it that way. I see a nurse is the ultimate detective. He/She has to pick up on things that can be easily overlooked. Things that make some people...

  17. Best specialty to be in for job security?

    PostOpPrincess replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Nursing

    1-2 years experience and you can work for a doctor's office. Personally, I'd rather work with higher acuity, critical care patients. To be an NP for that area, you're going to need a lot more acute...

  18. Nursing=Abuse?

    PostOpPrincess replied to ajroth19's topic in General Nursing

    I don't tolerate disrespect, so it is a rare occasion that I see it directed at me. When it is, it is noted and the person/persons who do try get a quick education on proper manners (very...

  21. Where have all the jobs gone?

    PostOpPrincess replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

  24. The "bully" nurse

    PostOpPrincess replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was bullied tonight. Or maybe more like "drive by bullying" or "attempted bullying." A nurse who was trying to "help" me, and who had NO CLUE as to what was going on with a situation, took over my...
