  1. As if nursing isn't hard enough, this comment appeared in a local newpaper by "none"

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    You should look into a different job, then. This one doesn't seem to agree with

  2. As if nursing isn't hard enough, this comment appeared in a local newpaper by "none"

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    A teacher's year is still twelve months long. The receive paychecks for nine of those months. For three months they don't get anything. How does that the equivalent of "really making out very well"?...

  3. Can they fire you for not picking up overtime?

    TakeOne replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean you work in an "at will"

  4. Can they fire you for not picking up overtime?

    TakeOne replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that gave the OP any peace of mind at

  5. Forced to come into work on day off

    TakeOne replied to deletethisaccount's topic in General Nursing

    They may be doing exactly what administration is telling them to do: fill empty shifts without hiring new people. Honestly, working an extra shift every two months is no big deal. But this is where...

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that your family is filled with bad teachers and that you obviously had many bad teachers in your lifetime. Personally, I had great teachers whom I admired tremendously. Also, you callin' my...

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Stop that! It's not for nine months. It's for twelve months. A year for teachers is that same as a year for the rest of us. And are you sure your district's health insurance is "free"? All...

    You mean she was teaching for thirty years. She started working decades later than my mother did, in an entirely different era economically. Her starting wage would have been higher to begin with. If...

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    She had union protection and a pension plan which, at the time she signed up for it, guaranteed what was then a damned good income. She started teaching in the late '40s and retired in 1982. When did...

  10. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    TakeOne replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

    No. I have no problem at all with reading comprehension and your statement that "the majority" understood the post is presumptive and unfounded. The most pleasant emoticon doesn't disguise the snark....

  11. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    TakeOne replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. That's different. Now that I know the event happened at work, I will concur that I would not have given an unordered OTC to anyone on facility property, whether I was on or off the clock. Sorry...

  12. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    TakeOne replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't come after me about it. Assist the OP with sentence structure, not with my interpretation of a badly written

  13. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    TakeOne replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

    The OP has only one option then: learn to write a clear sentence. Don't worry about correcting my mistakes while leaving the OP's laying there

  14. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    TakeOne replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

    The original post was easy to misread because it is so badly written (another problem that permeates the nursing profession). I maintain my response in the spirit of the original post: she had just...

  15. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    TakeOne replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

    I read it very carefully, especially the very first sentence were it says the OP had just gotten home from work and a family member asked her if she had some Tylenol. Please read the opening post more...

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    So either go be a teacher or quit complaining about teachers having summers off, spring break off, weekends off, holidays off, pensions, etc. And as I mentioned earlier, my mother only had medical...

  17. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    TakeOne replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

    All of you who are telling the OP that she was outside her scope of practice need to get a grip. This happened outside of the workplace, at home. She was approached by a family member who asked her...

  18. Why just part time?

    TakeOne replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to sound harsh, but you seem to think you're entitled to something because you are a new grad. You are not. There are only the jobs there are. Part time jobs are being created because...

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    "Retired teachers today have much more generous benefits." Okay. I'll check out those articles (it's probably the same article run in each paper), but that doesn't say that teachers working today...

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Who is it that considers a nursing degree harder to achieve than a degree in education? What are the other factors? For whom are you

  21. As if nursing isn't hard enough, this comment appeared in a local newpaper by "none"

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Nonsense. Health insurance alone cannot be managed on that scale. My mother was a unionized public school teacher for her entire working life. At the time of her retirement in 1982, she made $18,000...

  22. Did you ever see a patient taking two laxative at the same time

    TakeOne replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I don't know about that. I tried a brown cow once, and it didn't really taste

  23. Isn't our workload enough!

    TakeOne replied to San2003's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sorry, but a pet peeve of mine: The expression is "set foot," not "step foot." Those are famous last words, anyway. The way health care is going and with the changes we undergo ourselves over time,...

  24. Did you ever see a patient taking two laxative at the same time

    TakeOne replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm judging by this and other posts about medications that you don't have a lot of experience in

  25. I am victim of speaking for myself

    TakeOne replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    Oh please. Don't start that virtue script crud and whining about how the less than angelic and "compassionate" behavior of other nurses must surely fly in the face of Nightengalian ideals. Flossie was...
