  1. *HELP NEEDED* Understaffed NICU Project

    Nurse Leigh replied to gcoffin92's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yeah, well I bet a lot of nurses here who are also educators hope you are never their student because *you* are so rude and seem to expect others to do your work. You didn't explain any work/research...

  2. Don't go to co-workers' parties where drinking is occurring

    Nurse Leigh replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Knowing how stubborn donkeys can be, I'd guess the next step would be to get the big cutie OUT of the car. And yeah, that would have been

  3. Work declining vacation request?

    Nurse Leigh replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

  4. Boldness to Speak

    Nurse Leigh replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    ****Parakeet: Like I said earlier, I am not spending all of my time proselytizing. However, if I see an opportunity to speak, I will do so. I had a pt. just this past week ask me how to pray, so in...

  6. Don't go to co-workers' parties where drinking is occurring

    Nurse Leigh replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Except that when you've been working all night, it ain't really your "breakfast" time. After working nights a few years, going out for a bit of fun after work seems fine to me, even if it is the a.m....

  7. Seems parents aren't parenting

    Nurse Leigh replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    Seriously? More evidence we as a society need to embrace the idea of increasing funding for both public school systems and community health organizations. Having a child diagnosed with an illness,...

  8. Work declining vacation request?

    Nurse Leigh replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yep,

  9. Work declining vacation request?

    Nurse Leigh replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    *raises arm* I would argue against that position, and if you are doubting my sanity, well I guess we could take a vote here. I think a lot of people work six months - and longer - without a...

  10. Work declining vacation request?

    Nurse Leigh replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Terrible advice, as usual. Thanks for being consistent, at

  11. Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    Nurse Leigh replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, *gag*. No one is born a nurse. Seriously. I am tired of nursing being portrayed as a calling and being expected to feel guilt if I want better working conditions and a reasonable wage. As a...

  12. C'Mon Now!

    Nurse Leigh replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Unless he's also an excellent hockey player, I don't think the toothless look is gonna bring the girls

  14. Showing our appreciation for Our school nurses

    Nurse Leigh replied to f1j1nurse's topic in School

    Not an SN (I should put this in my signature) but do any of you use that Poo-Pourri after something bad goes down in your bathroom? I've never tried it but heard some people say it

  15. Lied to in Interview

    Nurse Leigh replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    westieluv, you are an experienced nurse who has, let's face it, "paid your dues." Do right by you - go for the dialysis position. I totally get wanting to be professional as you exit the crappy place...

  16. Why can't we all just get along?

    Nurse Leigh replied to milesims's topic in General Students

  17. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    Nurse Leigh replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Umm, you said you were there (at the hospital) once a week til the end - that's hardly "working." And you keep mentioning your home care business but you don't even have employees or clients so I...

  18. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    Nurse Leigh replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    So because the school receives money from you, you are entitled to compliments when not truly deserved? And only passing meds a few times in a semester and doing a lot other types of patient care is...

  19. What offends you (nursing related)?

    Nurse Leigh replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    Playing Candy Crush.

  20. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    Nurse Leigh replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Could you please explain this part of your post further? Specifically the part about the students paying the school to work in a hospital for

  21. Has nursing made you negative?

    Nurse Leigh replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    Could you please clarify - are you talking about nursing school or actually working as a nurse? Because both are stressful but in *very* different ways. As a nurse, I became more cynical but also...

  22. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Nurse Leigh replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Pixie, thank you for your service, and for caring for other veterans in their very vulnerable times.

  23. The film: Vaxxed.

    Nurse Leigh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Why fight your instincts? To me, choosing to immunize (unless medically contraindicated)is common sense when weighing risks/benefits. We *know* what these terrible diseases can do to people - why...

  24. The film: Vaxxed.

    Nurse Leigh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, so many members here are articulate, concise, and able to back up their posts with appropriate studies. Me, I tend to go for sarcasm and comic relief, and cheering on all y'all smart

  25. The PVT is NOT reliable!!!

    Nurse Leigh replied to LaLaLaLaura's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Also, I think the $8 is related to the quick results available in many states, and has nothing to do with PVT, which is, of course, a TRICK - neither legitimate nor necessarily accurate. I would...
