  1. C'Mon Now!

    Nurse Leigh replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    This calls for not only a C'MON NOW, but a swift smack upside the teacher's head. Good

  2. C'Mon Now!

    Nurse Leigh replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Heck, if only common sense were

  3. Dispelling NCLEX myths

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

    SATA stands for Select All That Apply. These are multiple choice questions and more than one answer is (can be?) correct. All correct answers must be chosen to get credit. For some reason, many...

  4. Words You Hate

    Nurse Leigh replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! For some reason, this reminds me of when my badge clip had a retractable string, and I put a few too many keys, cards and the like on it. When I would lean over a patient to turn or clean, my...

  5. Words You Hate

    Nurse Leigh replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! This is so

  6. Words You Hate

    Nurse Leigh replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    I say I'm "snarkastic", a blend of what I believe are two of my best traits, snarky and sarcastic. Others may not agree those are my best qualities but I do enjoy them. Oh, and I am not crazy...

  7. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Nurse Leigh replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Except that the AN TOS one agrees to specifically prohibits using credentials not

  8. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Nurse Leigh replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I accept responsibility. I will leave and go hang out with some nursing friends in person. My snarkasm tank needs time to refill,

  9. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Nurse Leigh replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This just gets better and

  10. Planned Parenthood nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to annetlins's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing they feel the need to protect themselves and their image (and therefore their patients) by being careful and selective about any type of interviews or media exposure after what they were...

  11. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Nurse Leigh replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL @ "it's possible for anybody to become a nurse" Read a few threads and see that isn't exactly the case. How can someone think they know why a nurse chose her or his profession? If they provide...

  12. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Nurse Leigh replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JasmineZStrokes please tell me if you are using your real name, because I Googled it, and ummm. If it is the *real* you, your future employers and professors may have some "beliefs" about how you...

  13. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I could put on my resume that I can troubleshoot printers, copiers, and other office machines. We learned how to order certain supplies (though I'm sure day shift had way more of this to do.) Putting...

  14. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And now they, whatever the most recent term is, seem to have gone extinct in many places. Such a shame as they could really help the flow of things by dealing with a lot of stuff nurses and aides...

  16. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Nurse Leigh replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see you "changed" your name,

  17. Should I leave this racist town?

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

    This whole post makes me sad...and angry. Just because our current President is AA doesn't mean racism has disappeared. At all. So much more I want to say but I will *try* to practice

  18. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First, I took no such oath. Second, I am there to care for the patients.

  19. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get the feeling that if a consultant ever *did* recommend that the unit needed more staff (which we all know without a study) I imagine C-suite would manage to ignore it. I don't think most...

  20. Stop the insanity (AKA panic)

    Nurse Leigh replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    I promise you I think teachers have some difficult jobs, but these stories make me wonder how *some* of them are masters prepared educators. :what: We had a math teacher in high school who, upon...

  21. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why is it no one raises an eyebrow at the thought that a partner in a law firm might not be all fuzzy and warm to a new associate but nurses are expected to be

  22. Let me paint you a picture

    Nurse Leigh replied to infinite0meow's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ah yes. I was never a tech/aide but as a bedside nurse I surr dealt with patients battling C. diff or enduring a bowel prep or some other bowel infliction. It is the rare hospital or facility that...

  23. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Omigosh. The bathroom. You can't even take a potty break without looking up to see papers and charts grumbling about something over which you have no control. And your phone will ring almost without...

  24. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, I recall several of your previous threads and it seems as if you are incredibly ambivalent about nursing, asking what happens if you don't like it then wanting to know all about being an APN. We...

  25. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Nurse Leigh replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well as a "Doctor_Nurse" who isn't even in a nursing program yet, I guess you would know more than
