  1. Feeling hope/helpless

    TDCHIM replied to lo87's topic in General Nursing

    What about looking into a retroactive withdrawal? When my sister attended a state school in Ohio, she had a health issue that made her totally bomb during one semester. After providing documented...

  2. was i wrong?

    TDCHIM replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    @suanna: How on earth do you request someone's resignation "supportively?" It sounds as though you're being offered a free bra upon resignation....Sorry to hear that you're in that sort of situation....

  3. Not The Best Way To Improve Nursing's Rep!

    TDCHIM replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I can recall a story I read several years ago about eastern European adoptions, where the prospective adoptive parents had very limited time with the child they were adopting before...

  4. Gift Idea for Secretary day

    TDCHIM replied to suni's topic in General Nursing

    I have the world's greatest blueberry zucchini bread recipe if you'd like it - it works beautifully for muffins too! Super yummy. Baking is such an awesome stress therapy (as long as I give the...

  5. was i wrong?

    TDCHIM replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you were reported for being "mean" because you tried to clarify whether certain labs had been performed and reported? That's way over the top to me. It seems as though it's much better to verify...

  6. Gift Idea for Secretary day

    TDCHIM replied to suni's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on the secretary. Do you know much about them? I mean, if any one of them collects something inexpensive, or is a fan of a particular team, or likes a particular type of food -...

  7. Human Growth & Development class offered online during summer...

    TDCHIM replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Nursing

    When I went through my original (bachelor) degree program about 10 years ago, my classes were all classroom courses. My current (bachelor) program is almost entirely online. Therefore, I have a fairly...

  8. Starting a new job

    TDCHIM replied to Anya11's topic in General Nursing

    The toughest part for me was figuring out the real power structure and the behind-the-scenes politicking before I did something that accidentally got me stuck on an important person's bad side....

  9. Different, but similar (question)

    TDCHIM replied to HG06's topic in General Nursing

    Well, this is an option that might be a bit out there, but if you have an issue that would qualify as a disability (physical or mental/emotional: for instance, I know ADHD qualifies, at least in my...

  10. Not The Best Way To Improve Nursing's Rep!

    TDCHIM replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious on this point: would she have had to go through such classes and preparation if adopting from the Russians? Is it the same if you're adopting out of the U.S. as if you're adopting...

  11. Can't deal with it anymore

    TDCHIM replied to pink_monster's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm really sorry to hear about your stress level issues. Throwing new grads to the wolves without any sort of support seems really unfair and sounds like awful management. Do any of your facilities...

  12. Really need help with this issue, LONG

    TDCHIM replied to vintagechic13's topic in General Nursing

    I'd probably start with the state board of medicine and your local police or sheriff's office, but it's very possible lots of other agencies will play a role. You might also contact the DEA if she...

  13. Telling management about interview for new job...

    TDCHIM replied to PICU_RN_WannaB's topic in General Nursing

    You really need to use careful judgment on this sort of thing. I've worked in places where I would have felt terrible if I hadn't warned my boss at the serious interview point and I've worked in...

  14. being a medical assistant better than a cna

    TDCHIM replied to margueritef's topic in General Nursing

    I'd endorse the CNA instead of the MA for three reasons: 1. You said you really want to be a CNA, not an MA, and if you take a job because somebody talked you into it, you aren't all that likely to be...

  15. Scared Of Bullying

    TDCHIM replied to prospect's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, what you're asking about has some general overall themes that apply in a lot of settings. Anything that might mark you out as "different," may occasion a bit of comment initially. For instance,...

  16. student with fibro + bad shift hours = flare up

    TDCHIM replied to CeilingCat's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    CelingCat, I'm not in a nursing program, but I have a similar sort of physical disability. At my school, the Office of Accessibility has fairly strong say on helping ALL types of students (yes, med...
