  1. Trying to boost morale advice wanted!

    I had one job years ago where we all met one day for karoake night and that was great. I know it might be difficult to plan in your unit. It was good to see people having fun. Once there we did a bowling night. I miss that. Every so often where I am ...
  2. What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

    Yep I agree same for me yeast infection on skin folds, chunky plaque on teeth, and those big scabs hanging on strigs, just want to yank them off
  3. Dreaming about work

    Sounds like a movie I will pay money to see. It reminds me of the joker in that nurse uniform. Don't know maybe that dream is telling you that your job is a hell hole (kidding).
  4. Respected or Not ?

    Amazing, good for you. Most places don't have those dynamics-to radrnmsn
  5. Still Angry at MAs playing nurse or PA

    That once happen to me and the doctor and the MA got along pretty well, meaning I guess the MA either felt comfortable enough to make a decision since in some places believe it or not I guess still do that. However I didn't feel comfortable and once ...
  6. What is your splurge?

    I have more shoes than DSW and yet wear the same beat up shoes, also bags....I am controlling the urges though lol need to focus.
  7. How well do you get along with your coworkers?

    This might sound corny but I am going through the same. The way I deal with it is to fake it. I smile sometimes a little too much and I act so immune to the high school drama around me. I had vented so much with my friends and that helps to take a lo...
  8. What do you pack in your work bag?

    Excedrin, reusable water bottle, extra socks and scrubs, pens, loose "petty" money, a picture of my baby for comfort.
  9. Things you wish you knew when you were young?

    I wish I could of been a little harder with some people. I was a personal atm for many but never realized that until know.
  10. What advise would you give to your younger self?

    I will tell myself to remain strong and focused on my goals. To not fear the unknown......Ah if I could reverse time.
  11. Take some mock practice test online and see what you get. You might be surprised and that will be a wake up call. No one can push you but reality. So every so often check your progress online if you can and remind yourself not to procrastinate.
  12. Just wanted to give a little bit of hope...

    Thanks for this post it's refreshing it's good to follow your instincts. There are good jobs and people out there and despite the economy sometimes it's good to venture than to endure in a job that takes away from you emotionally. I've learned that t...
  13. humerous, yet a little scary story

    People ask questions to of course clarify doubts. I don't see the harm. The harsh judgement it's too much I am sure there are things that if he will ask a nurse he might think really she doesn't know. Code blue varies. For some hospitals it's a secur...
  14. Audio Recordings and Patient Abuse

    Find out through a delegate or the department of labor/human resources what can you do regarding this situation. The CNA had to do what she had to do and that was her choice. Recording of any kind is a no no but you are not an accomplice. It's best t...
  15. I will like to know if anyone knows of a school in the New York City that offers clinicals at night. I work full time and I know I can manage the load or will try to. I can't afford to quit my job at this moment and I hear that there are such schools...
