    dansamy replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    dansamy replied to Rn4life27's topic in General Nursing

    dansamy replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    They'd have come home to their kids with dhr. I'm Jane's nurse, NOT John, Joe & Susie babysitter. Sent from my HTC One X using

  9. "If I could do nursing school over again" advice thread

    dansamy replied to ravenpuff's topic in General Students

    I would have cared more about my gpa. In the middle of nursing school, I had the mindset that a C got me through & I was fine with it. If I'd put forth even a little effort, I could have kept a...

  12. Terrible Transcript = Terrible Nurse?

    dansamy replied to RNStudentBoston's topic in General Students

    Well, 6 years ago, before the glut of new grads, my facility didn't even look at my transcript, ask about my gpa, etc. All they cared about was I graduated and I had a temporary license. The hiring of...

  13. Which state should I get my license in?

    dansamy replied to dancer90's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  14. Why are ICU nurses so rude?

    dansamy replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    True. But that's why nurses are paid for their critical thinking skills. Prioritization. If I have 6-8 patients, 3 or 4 might be going home tomorrow, 2 might be mostly stable and 1 or 2 might be...

  15. Why are ICU nurses so rude?

    dansamy replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This. I've had ONE patient code on me in 6 and a half years. One. That was dumped on me by day shift with a report of "Her BP and sats have been down all day every time she gets out of bed. We put her...

  18. Magnet curse!

    dansamy replied to ICUNurseG's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That's such a load of crap. I'm not opposed to obtaining my bsn. I'm opposed to spending $20-24k to do it. I'm opposed to being forced to do it. I'm VERY opposed to being bullied and threatened in...

  19. Newsflash: Med/Surg RN's have the toughest job

    dansamy replied to Guttercat's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Type A is NOT a must. I'm about as laid back and far from type A as you can get. I've been a peds med/surg nurse for over 6 years. I am ADD though. Sent from my HTC One X using

  20. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

    dansamy replied to coco42rn's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'd stab somebody with a spoon to get $30/hr. (Well, not really, but here in the Deep South, $30 would be major improvement.) Sent from my HTC One X using

  21. Friend tells me she is diverting

    dansamy replied to Flennigan's topic in General Nursing

    No prob! I have NO respect or sympathy for this nurse. She's stealing from her patients & leaving them in pain to support her husband's drug habit. He can hit the street corner & buy them...
