  1. Airline Pilots and Nurses

    ShayRN replied to sparrow's topic in General Nursing

    No way could I personally work 12 hour shifts consistantly. I did it for about a year and felt like a zombie. Every now and then I will work a double, but then it takes a day or two to feel normal...

  6. Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    ShayRN replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno. I am a firm believer in intuition. She said she got red flags right away. I would tell him sorry, not interested. If he continues I would absolutely go up the chain of command. Here is...

  8. Nursing, parenting and guilt

    ShayRN replied to Jen2002's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to sound harsh, but maybe if they had been around a little, there would have been no food in the house, no electricty and maybe no house to sleep in. Surely you see that? I understand...

  9. Nursing, parenting and guilt

    ShayRN replied to Jen2002's topic in General Nursing

  14. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    ShayRN replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I was convinced it was a post from the med students to punk us. Now I am thinking it is 09S=BSN's post. He has given us so many laughes from this

  15. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    ShayRN replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    ShayRN replied to nursingsfun's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to me when I graduated in 1998. I passed my boards in Aug and still didn't have anything by November. (Luckily, I was working for a doctor so at least there was something.) So this is...

    ShayRN replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am so happy you went to HR before your blow up. Can you imagine the spin she may have put on it? I personally think she should have been fired on the spot, but that is just me. Good luck and...

    ShayRN replied to Flatbelly's topic in General Nursing

    ShayRN replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I enjoy working with men as well as women. It is fun to get another side/viewpoint. I will joke and "horse around" with them all the time. Thing is, I do that in front of my husband. I am a...
