This is not worth arguing about. I may not have effectively communicated my point in my original post as you and the OP have taken a defensive approach. Now I'm on my heels as you have taken the "older sibling role". You and the OP should re read ...

Read what I wrote and what SangriaSteve wrote and the way it was written... In no way was I trying to kick her while she's down and I didn't get that from SS. I felt it necessary to let her know that people will judge you in more ways than you might ...

From a Mexican perspective... You can not change culture over night. It's inevitable, you will be judged by some Spanish speakers, they may assume you are a "POCHO" .Which is basically someone who refused to learn his cultural language. However, a br...

Lots of great advise here... You have better things to worry about than some offensive individual. You did the right thing by going to the DON. Just know that it may happen again and that you must be consistent. Remind her of your name and let her kn...

I am not an RN, I'm a pre nursing student... However I do work in hospitals. I agree with most of you here... However, either way a family member can get my attention is ok with me. I feel I'm there to be of service and will respond to finger gesture...

I'm a pre nursing student and not an RN. However I have been in the healthcare industry almost 20 years. I like the concept. The RCFEs I have visited strive to mimick a home like environment and some do better than onters. I think with any new model,...

I have several aquaitences in law enforcement. They tell me they ALWAYS let nurses off with a warning (for infractions of course). They say "you never know when you will need that nurse's help. What if they remember you were the one that gave them a ...

Although my initial comment was meant in humor. I was doing so out of ignorance... I took the time to Google Greenhouse Nursing and Wikipedia educated me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_House_(nursing_home) I don't think we have these in San Dieg...

30 years from now... Tribal tattoo guys will be in their sixties... And trampstampers should be ripe cougars. Shouldn't be too bad to look at. LOL. Now... 50 years from now they'll be in their 80s. Todays ink is much better than you see on your Kor...

Cat... I can tell you are a caring person and that's why you feel like you should be doing something about your patient's bleeding. However, you also have to remember that when a patient elects to receive Hospice services they are choosing to allow...

Were you looking for the Botany department? lol. p.

The way I see it... You have nothing to loose. It's like asking someone out on a date. She's either going to say no or yes. So why not just make the effort? Personally, I would gather all my paperwork and go visit her. I would tell her I had sent th...

I work in San Diego... In the heathcare industry... I'm not a nurse yet but I know plenty of them. The tides are changing when it comes to tattoos. I have tattoos and my tattooist tells me he has tattooed many nurses and in visible places. I have see...

For the last 5 years I worked in a hospital setting for a local Hospice provider. I have been to ALL the hospitals in San Diego County. And I've noticed that the tides are changing. There are some hospitals that are figuring out that the RN is MOST i...

I don't think it should matter... However we all know it does. If that is who you are and you are unwilling to change who you are... Then fight the fight. I wear earings and plan to keep wearing them once I'm an RN. p.

My two words are not permitted on this forum... So I will just say that the OP has probably recently "found himself" or has recently found himself alone. I say good for him. If this is what it took to bring you to self realization, you are ahead of m...

Shay, I know exactly how you feel. I have many stories like yours as I worked for San Diego Hospice for 5 years. The inpatient care center is the best place to be if you want to feel rewarded for you work as a patient advocate. I workied in the admi...

I think Spanish is a good language to brush up in. However, it totally depends on where you will be working. it might not come in that handy in Mississippi but you would be golden in San Diego. p.

I've heard of people who leave their employment and survive on grants and loans alone. I have a family and a full time jnob. It would be great to quit and focus on school. I'm gonna look further into this. p.
