    Apple Watch - Why I Love It!

    I love mine, but I would never wear mine to work if I were still working. Putting on chemo garb then taking it off, plus being a natural born klutz, nuh uh. I would be horrified if I wrecked it,...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    I've started denying students because I have so many doctors' appointments that it just gets tiresome to go through my entire medical history with a new PA student every time I go to my family doctor,...

    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    No one is shooting you down. I think the message is one type of nurse is no better or worse than the other. No one is
  6. I think it's laziness. Laziness if they want to be nurses but don't put the effort into going to school; laziness if they don't take the time to correct doctors/patients who call them

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Now, now, Ruby...you must rise above! You must put aside your trivial personal needs, especially when you have a student. After all, the ANA says

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Yes, I was a student once. The difference was that when I was a student, we weren't foisted on overburdened staff nurses. We had clinical instructors who were there to guide us. Since you aren't a...

    No Longer a Fan

    Not everyone lives and dies by what goes on in social media. I knew who they both were: Katie from the TV show, and the "nurse eyeroll" chick from seeing her site once. But I agree that if you're...

    An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    I watched the clip. She looked like she was trying so hard not to roll her eyes. When they handed out the stethoscope, she didn't even want to take the one handed to her. Maybe some think this...

  17. Congratulations on being NED for 12 years. I went 3 1/2 years after first being dx., then recurred the beginning of this year. I wasn't able to complete my chemo because of my bone marrow, so we'll...

    Tired of the Stethoscope, Now more!

    I'll have to try and see it. In general, apologies that are made because of bad press don't ring true to me. Would they have had nurses on their show had Michelle and Joy not run their mouths off...

    How to support a friend with cancer?

    Follow her lead. I can't begin to describe how painful it is when someone says something like, "Yay! You're in remission!" and then acts like life is back to normal. Meanwhile, the person with CA...
