Surely you mean incompetent? Pretty funny! Next time, don't apologize for yourself when you've done nothing wrong. The dr was completely out of line and made himself look like a complete ass.

I live in western NY and it's $28-$29/hour for new grads where I work.

Wanna pick up tonight or tomorrow? No bonus though.

I love this!!

As long as she continued to be a asymptomatic she'd be welcome to come stay with me.

THIS!! Notice this is a nurse. Not a doctor (or man!). There is a dr in my area who made news because he's going right back to work after being in Sierra Leone. Why isn't the media following him around and demanding his quarantine? If I hear one...

IDK where you live but I live in NY and I assume weather conditions are similar in NJ. If you want to live outdoors in a tent without heat (when it's been in the 40s and 50s with rain) and no running water, be my guest. She could live with me as l...

My favorite so far on my new(isn) floor is when an intern came walking out of the physician's office (a little room behind the nurses' station) and wanted to know why the floor in there was so dirty. We were all giving report and just kinda looked u...

I've been to the ER twice. Once for stitches when I fell on my face ice skating and the second time when I had appendicitis. My brothers went a few times each but they played hockey and football. My dad was a fire fighter so I think he was good at...

Keep those grades up! UB is a good school and the nursing program is very competitive. Keep in mind, the economy hit nursing too and you might not get ICU or even a hospital job right away. I had to start in LTC. There's still a tough job market ...

I have been pulled over twice in scrubs (in 12 years…give me a break ) and both times I was allowed to go. I got a speeding ticket when I was 16….that's it. And I'm polite when they pull me over.

You can always ask who they are. If someone is rude, make a complaint along with their name and who they work for. In the hospital I work at, every new admission is given a small packet explaining what a head nurse is, RN, LPN, NA, intern, attendin...

Hello! Just a disclaimer, I am not looking to start a BSN vs ASN argument. Ok I have an ASN in nursing. I have been a practicing RN for 3 years and was an LPN for 6 years before that. I decided to go for my BSN due to having such a tough time find...

I have my job listing on my FB page as registered ninja.

I went to college straight out of high school to be an elementary school teacher. I was not mature enough for school and never went to class, so I dropped out with a D average. I went to work as a CNA because it paid well, especially with OT and I ...

I second the person who said try to work as a CNA first. I recommend that to everyone.

You rule!!!!! :)

I haven't seen this addressed anywhere and I'm curious. I started working in a Children's Hospital a few months ago. I knew before working there that a lot of the time people have benefits for long term medical bills, especially when it involves ki...

I'm laughing at this because ill be trying out for roller derby in a few months but I don't consider myself wild and crazy lol. But yes, all jewelry will be removed before playing roller derby lol.

In school I had to take all of my ear piercings out. At work I can wear whatever I want and the only thing anyone cares about is that I can do my job safely. Since I work with kids I wear minimal jewelry so nothing gets grabbed.

My profile doesn't even say I'm a nurse so I'm good in the department. Thanks.

Nothing signed. Just the mom mentioned having a Facebook page for the kid so I checked it out.

Hey! I am a female nurse but I just started peds nursing a few months ago and I LOVE it. I work at a Children's Hospital. There are tons of guys who work here. The job outlook is tough even for nurses right now. I assume that's what the poster ...

During LPN I only worked 2 days a week and went to school 40 hours a week. I didn't find it that bad. I was just broke all the time. RN school though.....I went to school full time and worked full time nights, 5 nights a week. I had some free tim...
