  1. Brain surgery last week, then coming to ED for pain. Wait 4 hours to be seen.

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    This has nothing to do with my previous post. 2 different shifts. And no I don't "hate" nurses. Seriously. That's ridiculous. I want to be a nurse. Why would I want to be a nurse so I can work with...

  2. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't care if you disagree with my opinion, but you don't need to call me judgmental to make a point. I came on here asking for opinions on a situation, not for people to try and assess me through...

  3. Brain surgery last week, then coming to ED for pain. Wait 4 hours to be seen.

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    The MVA's were today. This guy came in last night. It's usually pretty busy at night. I just thought maybe it would be more of a priority but I see it's not. I was just

  4. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really don't understand why you feel the need to attack me. I never judged her. Where did you get that? You do not know how our hospital and triage are set up, so yes, I do know she was not helping...

  5. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would say she was on the line of abusive. Had we not walked away, it very likely would have turned into verbal abuse. There were 10 MVA's, all lucky to be alive. 2 were rollovers. But they never...

  6. Brain surgery last week, then coming to ED for pain. Wait 4 hours to be seen.

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    4 hours isn't bad when it's busy, some were waiting 6 today. Some will probably wait 8 tonight. Too many car accidents in one day. Good points made. Thank

  7. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's true. Then I definitely feel sorry for the nurses, doctors, and pca's that have to deal with her on a regular

  8. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you. I didn't know, since I was a volunteer, if I was overstepping a boundary by calling her out on

  9. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. From what I hear she is rude by nature, I've only had a few encounters. Most rude, but this is many steps above that. Which is why I wouldn't say anything to her until it happens again (on...

  10. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LMAO dthfytr You don't need to apologize. I just think some people misunderstood what I had said. I don't take offense to most of it, though some things are unnecessary and really serve no purpose to...

  11. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do understand how overwhelmed they are. Today was a very overwhelming day for everyone. It was a strangely busy day. For the most part, the system works out great. But we all have a job to do and I...

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really? How in the world could you possibly know something like that. Stop judging me and get on with your

  13. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I should've never started this thread because none of you will ever understand the level of rudeness. It just can't apply in text form. This wasn't an attitude. This wasn't snippy. This isn't rude....

  14. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't expect to get flamed, but okay. Every nurse is busy and so are the doctors. And the PCA's, and the cleaning people. We had 10 car accidents come in within 2 hours. I know busy. We are busy...

  15. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, we have a computer system that tells us where they are. But we have to call back (hospital policy) and ask the nurse if they are permitted visitors after they have been in there at least 20...

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    nope,

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure what you mean by what I want the other nurses to tell me. Thank you for your

  18. Brain surgery last week, then coming to ED for pain. Wait 4 hours to be seen.

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not looking to "get in the middle" of anything. I'm just curious. That's all. The waiting 4 hours isn't biased. I can look that

  19. States that offer free nursing education in exchange for working with them

    happy2learn replied to idlasjm's topic in General Students

    It's your life, not your parents life. Do what you want. Your parents need a reality check. Many places are not going to pay for your education to work for them because they have plenty of nurses to...

  20. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Since the other nurses were in patients room, at that time, no. At other times, maybe, but maybe not. I go find who isn't in a patients room, only as a last resort. I understand triage is stressful,...

  21. previous nursing student.... need some advice!!

    happy2learn replied to isabella200's topic in General Nursing

    You should probably ask your school about that. My school will let you on the waitlist with a 2.5. You need to keep a 2.5 to stay in the program. Your GPA does not determine your place on our...

  22. Anyone get away with a "questionable" hair shade?

    happy2learn replied to Little Miss Blue's topic in General Students

    Funky hair colors didn't fly in my nurse aide class clinical so I suspect it won't fly during nursing clinical. You need to check with your school, and probably wherever you will be having clinical....

  23. How does the dog handle your 12 hour shifts?

    happy2learn replied to SnowStar4's topic in General Nursing

    I've lived at a complex like that a few, actually. Most wouldn't know if I gave a key to ten different people, but one of the complexes had very nosy people. For goodness sake, I had my MIL's dog in...

  24. Ask for a grade increase in anatomy?

    happy2learn replied to albacl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of my teachers won't let us have our exams back. In fact, I've never seen any of my A&P exams. I just get my grade. But I know when I haven't done as well as I could have. They are too...

  25. having a terrible teacher

    happy2learn replied to lovesicles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's great. I wonder if he gets entertained by annoying students since he states he has no
