  3. Am I crazy because I love med surg???

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

    I mean I really love working med surg, but I hear so many people say they hate it. I can't understand why? Could someone tell me why they don't like it or why they do? I would love to hear both...

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

  5. Co-worker eats like a cave woman...

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

    What would you think if a professional RN with a bachelor's degree in nursing who is in an upper level position in the workplace and who is even going to graduate school would eat her lunch with her...

  6. Nurse with very strange behavior.

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

    We have an RN who is a pet of management because she is a good nurse who is good with the patients. On top of that, she is in graduate school to be a nurse practitioner so they really think she is...

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very closely related to this person I seem so obsessed with. I worry her strangeness may get to the point of something bad happening to her as far as her career. She quit and walked/ran out last...

  8. Belly Dancers: appropriate entertainment for LTC residents?

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. Hypothetical Question about Seeing Something at Work...

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it's safe to assume whenever you have men and women spending so much time together things are GOING to happen, especially if they have a "soul mate" type of connection with each

  12. Hypothetical Question about Seeing Something at Work...

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I mind my own business more than some others, for that matter, it's the topic of conversation all over the facility. Everytime one of them walks by, someone says something about how good she must be...

  14. Nurse with potty mouth.

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She does it when she gets stressed, it's kind of a tourrette's-like outburst. Her boss has a special affection for her and tells her to go in his office and calm down when she starts in. Then, he will...

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

  17. Nurse with very strange behavior.

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    Gee whiz. I don't want to see her destroyed. In some ways I'm envious of her, but I couldn't exactly call it jealous...especially when you consider doc marten lace up boots with a long, dressy...

  20. Pain Management-a vent

    Born2BWild replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry I can't give any insight. I just know I have a lot more empathy and respect for someone who admits they are addicted and will be honest about their situation than the manipulator who feels...

  21. New grad got fired, help

    Born2BWild replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    One of the worst things is to be absent. That will ruin your reputation more than just about anything else. My boss has a saying that if the facility has to wonder if a nurse will call in, they do not...

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I think you all are right. Believe it or not, I'm not the one with the reputation as one of the drama queens at work (and boy, do we have some). I have, however, been called "Eyore." I do accept...
