  1. MD likes to make you feel stupid

    JomoNurse replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Now I really mean this in the nicest way possible. Honestly, I do. So here it is: your post sounds whimpy, and if you're post is whimpy, then I can only imagine what it must be like face to face....

  2. For those of you "hot shots" who didn't think the nursing program was " that hard"...

    JomoNurse replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I laughed out loud when you said that Nursing Students are "gifted". There are some nurses that are gifted intellectually, but in all honesty, most are not. I know this is difficult to hear, but...

  3. How Do I Move On After Being Wrongfully Accused

    JomoNurse replied to rainbowdream's topic in General Nursing

    You should have resigned long before they fired you. Being fired from any position is not a resume builder. Why you would continue working there anyway, I have no clue. When a potential employer...

  4. Head just above the water

    JomoNurse replied to Mjawors1's topic in General Students

    It's not necessarily how much you study, it's what you study and how well you study it. Reevaluate your study habits, revamp them, and implement a strategy that best suits you. For me, reading the...

  5. How did you know?

    JomoNurse replied to Future-AZ-Nurse's topic in General Students

    It wasn't my calling. I didn't know that I would be an RN until about 6 months before I applied to the program. I naturally liked the sciences so I had taken all fo the required courses already. A...

  6. 6,200.00 Who are they kidding? For a CNA 5 month course..

    JomoNurse replied to lina.561's topic in General Nursing

    I think I paid around $2,500 total for my ADN (RN)

  7. Military Nursing

    JomoNurse replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    I would LOVE to be a nurse to all those gorgeous soldiers, just as long as I wouldn't be near any combat zones. Yummy, yummy,

  8. A Graduate Nurse with a failing kidney needs your opinion...

    JomoNurse replied to RN <><'s topic in General Nursing

    Your personal medical history is no one's business but your own and only those with whom you decide to share. Personally, I would *not* disclose that information. A hiring manager would never deny you...

  9. Need advise on how much to charge

    JomoNurse replied to NodaMegumi's topic in General Nursing

    The Phillipines is a very poor, third-world country. That's why all the nurses there want to get the hell out of there and come to the USA lol. The wages there, when compared to the USA, are...

  10. Flight Nursing

    JomoNurse replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Southern California. I always thought the guy sitting next to the pilot up front was a pilot, too. It doesn't make much sense to me of what value a caregiver sitting up front would be? The...

  11. Flight Nursing

    JomoNurse replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

    helicopters that land on our helipad have two pilots and an RN in the back doing patient care. God, I love the smell of jet fuel and the downward force of wind through my hair when they land! Very...

  12. Using Ampules w/o filter needles

    JomoNurse replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't seen a filter needle since using them in lab in Nursing School. I don't mean to sound like an butt here, but, do you guys really think a piece of glass that's actually small enough to be...

  13. Metabolic/ respiratory acidosis and alkalosis

    JomoNurse replied to jennielynn's topic in General Students

    I found a very simple way of figuring these types of questions out. 1. First, figure out if it's Acid or Alkalosis. Assign an arrow to it. (Acidosis is a BELOW average value, so the arrow would point...

  14. How many miles/minutes do you drive to work?

    JomoNurse replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    20 minutes. I travel in opposite directions of rush hour traffic; gotta love it. I get giddy knowing that I'm doing 75mph and the people on the other side are doing

  15. How come t here are no Males RNs on a peds floor?

    JomoNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Don't really know why I'm thinking about this, but how come I've never seen any male nurses on a Pediatrics floor? Is it liability issue? Because men don't generally like kids? Do you know of any? I...

  16. Question about ambulation orders

    JomoNurse replied to ChristyRN2009's topic in General Nursing

    I tell them that the MD wants them up and walking. If they say not now, I leave it alone. I come back in a few hours and they say not now again, I leave it alone and go about my business. I don't...

  17. Is it ok to call CNA's nurses?

    JomoNurse replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's OK to call CNAs nurses. Patients don't generally know the difference - it's much easier for the patients. No need to confuse them with all these different names. Some nurses think that...

  18. Enjoyable Depression

    JomoNurse replied to markuskristian's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed there seems to be a good chunk of bipolar nurses. I don't know why that is. What's a manic phase like? Do you really think you are fantastic? I usually have to go sit in a tanning...

  19. No Reference Letters for Interview

    JomoNurse replied to myrooskigurl's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't close with any of my instructors either. I shot a few of them e-mails and asked if I could use them as a positive reference, and they were more than happy to. Just ask... they're there to...

  20. At home, stressing my Critical Care take home test

    JomoNurse replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Usually when an instructor/professor/educator says "think through the problem" is because they don't know what they're talking about. It's much easier to say that when you have one-click access to...

  21. How come t here are no Males RNs on a peds floor?

    JomoNurse replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    thanks to everyone who has provided insightful and intelligent replies.... and to those who nit picked and called me a troll... you know what you can go do :) i mean REALLY, i've noticed this forum is...

  22. How much math is in nursing school??????

    JomoNurse replied to spacecitygroover's topic in General Students

    It's elementary school level math. Very, very, very

  23. I had my first clinical today & I cried in the pt room in front of everyone.

    JomoNurse replied to Angels_wearScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Someone already said it here... in time you'll learn how to cope with it. But I don't think anyone ever gets used to brain dead patients. It's a really sad state of affairs. What's even more sad is a...

  24. How come t here are no Males RNs on a peds floor?

    JomoNurse replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why people on here feel the need to repeat how offended they are, flabergasted they are, repulsed they are, etc. IT WASN'T EVEN MY QUESTION!!! I expressed my opinion - that's all :) I...

  25. Should I sign a contract with my hospital to pay for school?

    JomoNurse replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    Demends how much financial help you need. Usually if a hospital requires you to sign a contract, then it probably isn't an ideal place to
