    Job interview.. do I really have to put up with this?

    Vespertinas replied to Been there,done that's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If she's the lead interviewer, what would be her position relative to you at the job? Department head? Think about how you'd like to tolerate that personality on a regular basis at your work! This is...

    Is this nitpicking or does the instructor dislike her?...

    Vespertinas replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    Even if she is legitimately getting picked on, she should remember...like getting picked on in grade school, that too shall pass. It seems like a big deal at the time but before she knows it, she'll...

    Is it possible to be too emotional for nursing?

    Vespertinas replied to emilyleigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm the biggest crier I know. I get red-eyed if I feel I've made a "connection" with a difficult patient. I can't stop it, it's the hormones!! (i.e.

    Sparrowhawk, by refraining from using the word queer as it was originally meant, I am only reinforcing its derogatory meaning. Thankfully dictionary.com hasn't changed its mind on the

    Overheard at the nurse's station

    Vespertinas replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I just re-read the "wrong job title" thread and the guy is queer. Either that or a troll. If you were combing for burrs, you'll start to notice them in every post at least on that thread. I...

    Dishonest Nurses

    Vespertinas replied to Pam I Am RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We are considered trustworthy because we try to protect, help, and do the least harm to our clients whereas other professions which are usually financially motivated may seek to deceive a client (to...

    I am shocked too. Some people have no tact. (granted, I don't always either. but

    Vespertinas replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    Since your partner sounds like she's doing so well elsewhere (passing 5 patients already), she may be stunned to receive negative reinforcement. It's healthy and probably no nursing student should go...

    I Love being a Christian Nurse

    Vespertinas replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Ruas61 and Nursel56, I believe when posters like Good Morning, Gil state that their Christianity enables them to provide compassionate care, it is not to say that others are unable (as they have...

    I Love being a Christian Nurse

    Vespertinas replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Then maybe we've found a hint of explanation to her problems with her co-workers. On the first page alone there were 4 posts against and 4 posts supporting the topic. That's pretty fair play for an...

    How detailed is your change of shift report?

    Vespertinas replied to rcon's topic in MICU, SICU

    That's my problem. I DO care that the oncoming and offgoing RN have and will take good care of the patient. Sometimes I work really hard to stabilize someone (or straighten out their little but many...

    Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

    Vespertinas replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    We're talking about making it okay to deny someone the right to earn a living for themselves and their family. While this debate is interesting in a vacuum, it shouldn't REALLY have room in...

    I love being a Satanist nurse.

    Vespertinas replied to canoehead's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think it's immature to mock nursing and spirituality in a "Nursing and Spirituality" section. Shame on

    How detailed is your change of shift report?

    Vespertinas replied to rcon's topic in MICU, SICU

    I am a chronically long-winded report-giver. I can't help it and I don't see where I can improve. I think EVERYTHING's important! Sure, you'll read the chart but maybe you WON'T notice that he didn't...

    What I've Taken from Good Preceptors

    Vespertinas posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've had good, I've had bad, I've had in between. I've probably started anew too many times for my short career. Looking back, these were the positive traits that my preceptors had that have helped me...

    I Love being a Christian Nurse

    Vespertinas replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    OP, maybe you can make your point clearer by describing what you love about being a Christian nurse. That's nice that you take care of all people equally, but that doesn't seem to have to do with...

    Yikes! In that case, the patients who are over 65 may also like that their caretakers be white but too bad we can't bend to their will due to that pesky Constitution and Civil Rights Act. I was REALLY...
