  1. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    Jo Dirt replied to mdhammons's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't feel like you should have to defend yourself for the school path you choose, what you wanted to do is perfectly understandable. I would very much like to know what these lawyers say. I did not...

  2. Nursing, parenting and guilt

    Jo Dirt replied to Jen2002's topic in General Nursing

    This is the guilt trip my kids put on me. We've never had the electric turned off, but if I stopped working it wouldn't take long. Your parents were doing the best the knew how to do. It may not have...

  3. Can you quit during orientation and still be on good terms?

    Jo Dirt replied to DaisyChains's topic in General Nursing

    I got a job at Saint Thomas Hospital and had to quit on the third day of orientation because my baby wasn't taking to the bottle and he was having a hard time being away from me. My husband actually...

  4. RN's/CNA's...what's with this attitude?

    Jo Dirt replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    All it takes is one bad one to make the work place miserable. There was one aide who was such a pain it was making me physically ill when I had to work with her. Luckily, she quit on her own after she...

  5. RN's/CNA's...what's with this attitude?

    Jo Dirt replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You don't like taking direction, find another job and quit whining. End of

  6. Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    Jo Dirt replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    There is a doctor where I work who comes to make rounds at very odd hours, and he gives you this "look." He's very strange and makes a lot of the nurses uneasy. We swear there was one nurse he was...

  7. What is Nursing Informatics?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have to take an elective next semester and I am interested in taking death and dying. Trouble is, it is only offered on campus. One of the only electives I can take online is nursing informatics. I...

  8. Nursing, parenting and guilt

    Jo Dirt replied to Jen2002's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a choice as to whether or not I work, unless we want to live in a van. But I'm trying to get off the 3-11 shift where I work, even if it means finding another job. I hardly ever see my...

  9. RN's/CNA's...what's with this attitude?

    Jo Dirt replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm seeing some very naieve, idealistic, defiant, hostile and arrogant remarks from non-nurses and those who's experience with nursing consists of watching soap operas. If YOU are not there to assist...

  10. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    Jo Dirt replied to mdhammons's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The only way a contract will not be binding is if there is something in it that is illegal. I'm sure these scum burger bottom dwellers insert the information that they are not affiliated with nor...

  11. RN's/CNA's...what's with this attitude?

    Jo Dirt replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm noticing a lot of CNAs lately (the younger ones, mostly) who have lousy attitudes when it comes to taking direction. They give you lip or this stupid look of defiance when they are ASKED to do...

  12. What is Nursing Informatics?

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I went to the wiki article, but it isn't really saying anything useful. Is it so contrived it's indescribable? I need the nuts and bolts version. What exactly do they do and what is the rationale...

  13. Familynurse Practioner Or Nursing Informatics

    Jo Dirt replied to fnmike7's topic in General Nursing

    This is so conflicting with what I see and hear. I hear NPs themselves say their salary is not much better than an RN's, and they work harder for less pay. Then I hear (and know of) NPs working...

  14. Salary info?

    Jo Dirt replied to jeepgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good for you. I hope to be where you are in fall

  16. Should I report doctor who yelled at me?

    Jo Dirt replied to ANPFNPGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sometimes, you have to get down on their level. I'd growl at him to knock it the h** off!!!! Get as rabid as he does, even moreso. A lot of times, they will be shocked to get a dose of their own...

  17. Salary info?

    Jo Dirt replied to jeepgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They are paying 100k a year in Cookeville, TN. Down the road in Nashville it is half that. I didn't believe it when I first heard it but I later found out it is the

  18. Nursing is a terrible job!

    Jo Dirt replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    I worked 8 months in home health and saw firsthand what you are talking about. If I was like some of the scum I had to work around, I would be afraid to walk out to my car at night. I'm at a place now...

  19. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Jo Dirt replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I was reprimanded in nursing school because my bra was not effective enough (I have very large bosoms...no, I'm not proud of them. I just learned the neighborhood kids-especially the boys-know me as...

  20. I flunked out in my last semester by a tenth of a point!! Please help me..

    Jo Dirt replied to nautica843's topic in General Nursing

    It probably wasn't the tenth of a point that did it. There were probably other factors that made them determine you aren't quite ready for nursing school. Do you think successful people are...

  21. Are you treated with more dignity now?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know the hospitals and nursing homes act like doctors are gods :bowingpur , but I wonder if they treat NPs any better than they treat regular old nurses? I know they don't pay them much better. Who...

  22. Nursing and Astrological Sign

    Jo Dirt replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Scorpio here, born in the year of the tiger on the Chinese Zodiac. I think there are actually some basic truths in these beliefs, but some people carry it to the point of superstition. And I think...

  23. Are you treated with more dignity now?

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've spent so much time with nursing I'm not quitting now. I'm chugging right along until I am a psychiatric NP. I hope I can make a positive impact on people suffering with mental illness. I'm...

  24. Day in the life of psych NP/CNS

    Jo Dirt replied to HealthyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Laurie, this is so exciting to hear about. I want to become a psychNP as soon as I get finished with this BSN I'm working on (I hope this

  25. Are you treated with more dignity now?

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You want to know what I mean about no respect for nurses you need to come to where I work for a shift or two. The DON berates the nurses and threatens to fire them in front of whomever happens to be...
