  1. Why Didn't You Go To Med School?

    I don't know why she thinks that I believe nursing school is for those that can't get into med school. I never said that, all I said and meant was that most likely they would not have gotten into...
  2. This can't be right...

    I could say the same thing for a few nurses I know. Every profession has some idiot that is flying by the seat of his pants. Generally speaking though, doctors know what they're
  3. Jean Watson Caring Science

    Honestly, I agree that you are blowing this way out of proportion. It's just one seminar. It looks like you're just trying to be difficult when there really isn't an issue. The fact that you...
  4. Leaving full time job to go to nursing school...

    I guess that logic wouldn't have occurred to me. I would have worked extra hard that year in order to save more to tide me over while I couldn't work because of my
  5. And if we catch you smoking you'll be charge $25

    A doctor may say you can have a burger and fries once in a while as long as it's not a habit, but they're not going to say you can smoke once in a while as long as it's not a habit. There's no level...
  6. That's what I was trying to say with my previous
  7. And if we catch you smoking you'll be charge $25

    I don't think fast food or food in general is comparable to smoking for this argument. You can have a burger and fries once in a while and it won't affect you. It's just not the same with smoking....
  8. And if we catch you smoking you'll be charge $25

    Because drinks at the nurses station don't raise insurance premiums for everyone and it doesn't raise costs for the hospital. I guess you could say you might spill the drink and someone might fall...
  9. Leaving full time job to go to nursing school...

    Is your current job related to health care? If not, will they even approve a leave of absence for nursing school since it's unrelated? Would they just require you to resign in that case because you...
  10. Pregnant, Nursing School, and Full time LPN

    I think you can do it, but it's quite possible you'll get burned out. The pregnancy alone will have a huge affect on how you feel, add to that a full time job in LTC no less, and full time school......
  11. LPN to RN... ask for a raise?

    You deserve a raise and you are entitled to it. Your employer however is smart. They hired you as an LPN at LPN pay, and now you have an RN. You will be held accountable as an RN but your employer...
  12. Why Didn't You Go To Med School?

    I'm shocked. Someone dare say this? Where is the usual "Oh, pshhh who wants to be a doctor?" or "I was smart and didn't want debt and wanted a life." or "I prefer the direct patient care I get from...
  13. I don't get why it's such a bad thing to take in sensory cues and make inferences based on them. How do you know the person you are talking to is a woman? Well, she has a raised "bump" in the upper...
  14. Jean Watson Caring Science

    I think the problem here is that people get used to doing something a certain way and god forbid something new gets presented to them. All hell breaks loose. You haven't even gone to the seminar...
  15. Why Didn't You Go To Med School?

    "Why didn't you go to medical school?" I love how nonchalant that is, as if it's just soooo easy to get in and yet the person made a flippant decision to just go to nursing school instead. Most...
  16. Jean Watson Caring Science

    What does your religion have anything to do with this? Unless your hospital is forcing religious acts upon you, go to the seminar and start incorporating what it taught you into your day at
  17. Did Nursing Supervisor do the right thing?

    You should do the assessment but 1. date it the day you do it 2. make a note on it that says that you were asked to do the assessment and that the supervisor who assigned this to you knows that the...
  18. Maybe I should start a separate thread because I can imagine the answers to my question would be varied and interesting, but how many of you guys actually reported a supervisor/doctor, and what...
  19. Falsifying degree at work....

    Wishful thinking? I have no other
  20. To All Female Nurses ????

    The other thing that irritates me is when people come and ask what so-and-so school requires for entrance. What the average starting pay would be for a specific job. Get on the phone and call the...
  21. To All Female Nurses ????

    I understand your point, but I think in this profession it is ok to ask and converse about a specific gender. Especially when it comes to men. I don't think there is any other field that is so...
  22. Summer Sizzling Heat

    Maybe they were waiting for the guy to flirt back with "I can help you warm up" hahahaha.
  23. Seriously? And you've never bought anti-aging creams? Because, you know, it would totally seem like you fell hook, line, and sinker into a massive marketing gimmick to "get rid of fine lines" while...
  24. Overtime?

    If you by any chance were referring to me, I'd just like to say I agree with you. My post was just to point out that there's a lot of work in actually becoming a CRNA because I think people just get...
  25. What profession are people trying to make you conform to? The only profession you need to represent is nursing...so who is implying you need to dress otherwise? And completely distorting the...
