    Is nursing hereditary?

    nyapa replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    While I have never met my father, I know he definitely wasn't a nurse, nor did he have anything to do with the health industry. My paternal grandmother and grandfather whom I have met, have no contact...

    A horrible Day

    nyapa replied to litbitblack's topic in General Nursing

    Is there anyway you can bring this up with your charge? Or does she feel the situation is hopeless as well? It sounds to me as if your charge should be advocating for the floor staff. I really can't...

    nyapa replied to phoebebrat's topic in General Nursing

    So this man did not just have red mans syndrome but also other symptoms. You did right. I hope you wrote everything down. Re: lawyers. I really don't know how things work in the US. But thankfully we...

    Nurses as SUPERHUMANS!!

    nyapa replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot see why someone who has to take medications cannot work as a nurse! There are many fields you can work in! In med/surg you can getoff the floor for one second to take your medications! Don't...

    Please help - should I just quit Nursing school?

    nyapa replied to mrs.captain.kangaroo's topic in General Students

    The NCLEX argument that student used is flawed. No school wants the reputation of turning out nurses with good grades who have poor clinical skills and can be downright dangerous! Its just jealousy....

    my nursing career is gone!

    nyapa replied to imanrsatht's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In Australia we would involve our union. You need to protect yourself. If there is no union, then call a lawyer if you are innocent. You need to protect your registration and your

    nyapa replied to bessiepig1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds to me that it is a lesson to be learned. It is sad to say it, but sometimes you can't trust your colleagues if they feel they are at risk of damaging their reputation. You are saying that...

    Help, our unit is falling apart!

    nyapa replied to nurseklw72's topic in General Nursing

    I think for morale to improve, it requires involvement from the whole staff, from the top down. If those at the top are not willing to see what is happening before their very eyes, then I really think...

    Is this true about most nurses..

    nyapa replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing educates you. You see things and deal with people in a personal way that you wouldn't in the community. I was like JessieRN...wouldn't say 'boo' to a goose. Nursing is, first and foremost,...

    nyapa replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    That is what I had to do when I felt 'defeated' as you call it. You have every reason to feel as you do. You need a lot of 'me' time, to build up your self confidence again. I can't give you any...

    My first clinical is soon, any advice?

    nyapa replied to meezer1234's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing. Don't listen to what everyone else says. Take your instructor as he or she comes. Do not create extra stress for yourself simply because of what someone has said this person is like....

    what am I missing here?

    nyapa replied to cafenurse1112's topic in General Nursing

    I was working on a ward recently where the staff used to openly embarrass me by talking about my personal details, amongst other things, across the front desk. I ended up going to the manager and...
