  1. Why do some nurse's act like they have just ate some sour grapes?

    Jo Dirt replied to 2benurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    It is funny how people who are not in the medical field can watch "One Flew Over the Cu-Cu's Nest" (not sure I spelled that right) and think Nurse Rachaud is evil, but seasoned nurses watch and they...

  2. Unrealisitic expectations...

    Jo Dirt replied to scattycarrot's topic in General Nursing

    I also wish people would realize there is NO CURE for OLD AGE. Mainly, my father-in-law and mother-in-law. He is 82 and she is 80, she says "I never thought I would get old.", he says, "if I could...

  4. This makes me SOOOOOOO mad!!!!!!!!

    Jo Dirt replied to cajjj's topic in General Nursing

    The government and its prostitutes could care less about the lower class of working people--we are uneccesary eaters and breeders and there are plenty of us for them to use as they wish and discard...

  5. What's wrong with being a nurse?

    Jo Dirt replied to Orenda's topic in General Nursing

    I just can't stand people who are never wrong, but it's like the prisons-they are loaded and full of innocent people. And it's so obvious when the finger pointing and backtracking starts that people...

    Jo Dirt replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a thrasher nor do I move around in my sleep. With my last child she slept in the same bed as me from the time she was born until she was almost 6 and she slept the best out of my children. My...

  7. What's wrong with being a nurse?

    Jo Dirt replied to Orenda's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of nurses belong on the Jerry Springer

  8. Open letter for those with family in care....

    Jo Dirt replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    10. And don't be shocked to get a phone call that your 80+ y/o relative died peacefully in his/her sleep. I actually had a woman who couldn't believe her 90 y/o mother died. She wanted an autopsy, she...

  9. Loans, Debt, Contracts & all that bad stuff...

    Jo Dirt replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    I went to LPN school through a state program that paid my tuition (though the cost of the whole program was less than $3000). Then, I worked private duty nursing jobs at night and used that time to...

  11. Do moms ever get upset when they have to leave baby to be monitored in the nursery?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just wondering, I had my daughter in 2001 and when I asked if she could stay with me they said it was policy to monitor her in the nursery at least 5 hours. Then they told me there was another...

    Jo Dirt replied to tvccrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know, but I'm supposed to be induced next week (39 wks) and I sure hope it doesn't take that

  13. Misleading information

    Jo Dirt replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I got out of LPN school in 2000 my pay at the nursing home was $12/hr, and that was competitive here. I'd like to know where LPNs make $24/hr and I'll go have my LPN license

  14. Highest paid nursing field?

    Jo Dirt replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: don't let anyone make you feel ashamed or like you are doing something wrong for wanting to know about salaries. I'd be willing to bet these people aren't working for free, I'd also be...

  15. The Circumcision Discussion

    Jo Dirt replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I was in nursing school when I did my OB rotation I remember them doing a circumcision. They brought the poor little baby in the nursery and I remember them taking out this board and strapping...

  16. Do moms ever get upset when they have to leave baby to be monitored in the nursery?

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I believe I am a very reasonable person and if there was a reason they felt baby should have a bottle I would not have objected. I didn't even get upset when the nurse told me after the fact baby had...

  17. Open letter for those with family in care....

    Jo Dirt replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    There is this poem I would see above the beds of some patients, it said something about open your eyes nurse, and look at me! Well, that works both ways. I'd like to print out this letter (add a few...

  18. The Waiting Game

    Jo Dirt replied to nursesaideBen's topic in General Nursing

    Would you give me $500 if I could guarantee you passed? You are worrying for nothing. You

  19. Difference between CNA and Nurse tech?

    Jo Dirt replied to Flaird's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds as though nurse tech's can do whatever a nurse can do...what's the need to even finish nursing school? Who needs nurses anymore? Or is it wishful thinking that a person can get around...

  20. Nursing, not as rewarding as I thought...

    Jo Dirt replied to Wen83's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't go into nursing because I thought I would "save humanity" or "make that special difference in someone's life." I went into nursing because I wanted a job that would pay better than cleaning...

  21. How do you feel about taking pictures with your patients?

    Jo Dirt replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's fine and dandy, they need to just make sure they are capturing it without me in the

  22. Difference between CNA and Nurse tech?

    Jo Dirt replied to Flaird's topic in General Nursing

    But you're talking about some very high cost of living areas, too. $16 there won't take you any further than $9 here

  23. Nursing, not as rewarding as I thought...

    Jo Dirt replied to Wen83's topic in General Nursing

    My job stressed me out so bad that when I got out of it after 8 months I vowed to get out of nursing altogether. I became so cynical and hateful and resentful. No matter how you may think you hate...

  24. Difference between CNA and Nurse tech?
