  1. Have you done RN to BSN onine?

    Jo Dirt replied to robinrenee59's topic in General Nursing

    I'm enrolled at Middle Tennessee State University in their online RN to BSN program. They don't have a pay after you go option, but I'm getting pell grants (which I won't have to pay back) to pay for...

  2. Did I do the right thing?

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

    Thank you for the thoughtful replies. It actually took awhile to get up the nerve to do this. I don't think I would have written her up on this act alone, but it was kind of like the straw that broke...

  3. Pharmacy school?

    Jo Dirt replied to Sg0223RN's topic in General Nursing

    A pharmacist's job may not seem that technical or hard but they only want the brightest ones for pharmacy school. Lots of science and

  4. Surprise!! Suprise!!- Yet Again another reason I'm hightailing it outta there!!

    Jo Dirt replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    On the reverse, the way call-ins usually go in the facility where I work is we get a call and a big sob sister story about Uncle Joe being in the ICU three states away or someone threw a brick through...

  5. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    Jo Dirt replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't like it when I'm talked to like an idiot. If you have a patient with orders to call you if their blood sugar runs over 400 but it is common for it to do so and you know it, don't get mad...

  6. Anyone pay cash for NP school?

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

    I won't do a commitment loan and sure won't owe my soul to VISA or Matercard and their God awful interest rates, either. Some debt will probably be unavoidable. All I can do is try to keep it in...

  7. inappropriate comment made by RN in front of patient

    Jo Dirt replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I can and have overlooked A LOT of things, and I believe most of the nurses I've worked with would do the same for me. I gently reminded a nurse she was giving more than twice the insulin orders...

  8. inappropriate comment made by RN in front of patient

    Jo Dirt replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse wasn't so gentle with her crass remark. I think she needs to really face serious repercussions for the totally disgusting behavior. Thinking about this makes me sick, makes me want to cry....

  9. Hospital bullies affect patient safety

    Jo Dirt replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can only go by my few experiences as a patient. Most of the nurses were great, but it was the two who weren't that stick in my mind. One roughly jerked me around and talked to me like I was a...

  10. Good Looking Enough to be a Nurse?

    Jo Dirt replied to casey1988's topic in General Nursing

    I think maybe the OP is a victim of believing life is really like "Grey's Anatomy" or "General Hospital." I will just say that someone who thinks the doctors actually have enough time to care what...

  11. Good Looking Enough to be a Nurse?

    Jo Dirt replied to casey1988's topic in General Nursing

    It's a sad fact but a lot of people really are superficial and can't see past a cute figure or a pretty face. These people are goobers and easily had. I am glad I'm not one of those people. In the...

  12. Interruptions During Med Pass

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is nothing worse than being interrupted all through your med pass. Do any facilities out there enforce any rules to keep the nurses from being interrupted? We are repeatedly taken away from our...

  13. First death situation

    Jo Dirt replied to goodgalpal's topic in General Nursing

    I have a crippling phobia of corpses, so I just try to deal with them as little as possible. I'll have the aide come in and look at them. There is a certain look/aura or whatever that comes from a...

  14. Paranormal phenomena?

    Jo Dirt replied to colzanurse's topic in General Nursing

    The explanation is more than likely a mundane one, like shorting going on in the wiring

  15. What do young single nurses do on their days off?

    Jo Dirt replied to chichimitchi's topic in General Nursing

    When I was 23 I had one child and was pregnant with another, so don't be doing what I was apparently

  16. OH MY GOD I gave the wrong pill!!

    Jo Dirt replied to nursing_student84's topic in General Nursing

    There are more important things to worry about now. Don't let it cause you anymore

    Jo Dirt replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    His actions and ability to hide them for that long are not your

  18. Violent patient outburst

    Jo Dirt replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    i don't know, because i would have decked this creep. the only thing i can't tolerate is mean-spirited, evil

  19. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    Jo Dirt replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    Mon dieu. Mein gott... This is so disturbing. I will say I believe a lot of nursing schools have greatly lowered their standards. Passing the NCLEX means NOTHING, BTW. I see some nurses who may as...

  20. from RN to Pharmacy tech

    Jo Dirt replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    What the &^%*&^is everybody complaining about in the nursing world then??? Sign me up! I'm slaving away 4-5 days a week at a nursing home and don't make that

  21. Hate floor nursing but reasonable to get DNP?

    Jo Dirt replied to inthesky's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Inthesky, I am in a similar dilemma. I'm very restless and dissatisfied in my nursing position (LTC med nurse, which is basically in a geriatric/psych dumping ground) and have found my fuse getting...

    Jo Dirt replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

  23. Preachy Coworker

    Jo Dirt replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    Tell him you belong to the Church of Satan and find his preaching terribly offensive.

  25. Wife getting ready to Graduate. Worried about her pay!!! CALIF.

    Jo Dirt replied to Only1Balto's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm a southerner, too. If I was young and unendumbered and had a future, I'd probably start out in Texas or Tennessee. Georgia. I'll just say half the state must be in law enforcement. Driving...
