  1. $$ for nursing students?

    exit96 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Has anyone heard of a so-called free money for nursing students that Obama is providing? I heard something to this affect but cannot find out any more

  2. Education options, and other choices

    exit96 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new RN. Hired in at hospital 2 blocks from my house. Small hospital, we have 1 inpatient floor with 22 beds, med/surg, this is where I work. I am glad to have landed this job right out of...

  3. Resources

    exit96 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Other than my Med Surg Nursing text, is there a concise focused assessment book available? I am new RN and would really use something like this. I do have Skyscape Nursing Constellation and there is...

  4. Is night shift intolerance worth the $$ and Bennies??

    exit96 replied to SqueakRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new RN after being an LPN for a year and CNA for 4 yrs prior to that. I have done night shift work for 16+ years, so I understand your dilemma well. I like the night shift and I hate it for how...

  5. Be careful out there today

    exit96 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I made a "boo-boo" the other day and am shaken to the core. No harm was done, but it opened up the flood gate for the (RN) parent to make all kinds of false accusations about me, and a few others. I...

  6. Be careful out there today

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the support. There was not a poor outcome because of this. I intend on talking to the surgeon and apologizing for this bad move, I haven't seen him since this

  7. Be careful out there today

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to divulge much, because another someone could be frequenting this site. But here are the basics: I clamped a chest tube, so the pt. could go get an XRAY. I feel like absolute crap!!...

  8. Wow They Are Really Serious - smokers not hired

    exit96 replied to LemonIndiscretion's topic in General Nursing

    Big hospital system in Lansing, tests for nicotine. No hiring if you test positive. It amazes me how many people are on the "crucify the smokers" bandwagon, not realizing the "can" that has been...

  9. ? Regarding Facility's Decision Not To Hire Male CNA/RNs

    exit96 replied to balatro's topic in Men in Nursing

    WOW! Disgusting...seems like they would want a male because we can

  10. really??? (sigh)

    exit96 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I found this post, not unique, many out there that say the same thing? Can't give credit to the poster because I can't locate it. Here is the post/statement: "Although this is not to a patient, I...

  11. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    exit96 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1-Did I say that your kids matter to me? 1a- Why don't you tell me about an elder in your family and what they have done...give them some honor and let your selfish child eat AFTER the adults. 2-So...

  12. Tired of hearing about the kids.

    exit96 replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for posting this!!! Sooooo tired of this

  13. weight and feelings

    exit96 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So many double standards...like smokers are taboo, whether it's an insurance liability or whether it's that "we don't want patients to smell it on clothing" but we can destroy our backs lifting obese...

  14. weight and feelings

    exit96 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's just people. I keep my hair butched and have people ask me if I have cancer. Who knows? some people just have a poor sense of humor...maybe they thought it was funny/ Maybe they are uneducated?...

  15. Transition to Nursing Home

    exit96 replied to Time4dilaudidyet's topic in General Nursing

    Well, do you work in LTC GrnTea? I guess perhaps you are right, in a sense but are missing the point in another. But maybe I could express it in this way: with the under-staffing and having way too...

  16. Transition to Nursing Home

    exit96 replied to Time4dilaudidyet's topic in General Nursing

    Been an LPN at a LTC facility for about 8 months. I am taking my RN-NCLEX in one week and can't wait to get into a hospital. I do like the nursing home, I do love the population of elderly folks. I...

  17. Do men really have a better shot at finding a job?

    exit96 replied to mcpheenom's topic in Men in Nursing

    I kinda hate this statement, and I just heard it the other day when I was explaining that I have 2 hospitals to choose from in the next couple weeks, and I am a new grad. It wasn't meant to be...

  18. Curious female here! :)

    exit96 replied to ltmja's topic in Men in Nursing

    Nursing is not my first profession, but it is my first choice. By this I mean that I was married at 19 and did whatever I had to do to put food on the table. I happened to enjoy carpenter work for 14...

  19. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    exit96 replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Just to touch on this view, I totally disagree. The Bible clearly states that people "do not believe." That is what separates anyone. Christians as well as other religions or non-religions basically...

  20. Stereotyped...and not sure what I should do

    exit96 replied to gorjos's topic in Men in Nursing

    Ya, people man. Every one of us is walking around with our biases, no matter how hard we try not to. We even do it when we know that we are completely wrong, crazy but we are only human. I know that...
