  1. What does your username mean?

    SweetPEI replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    Mine represents my nickname "sweetpea." However it was taken so I changed the a to an

  2. A nurse called me a "little pretend nurse!"

    SweetPEI replied to Amber628's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is sad to know that I am to enter a culture that includes such negativity. RN's don't like it when people ask "why didn't you become a doctor?" We are all supposed to work together for the good of...

  3. A nurse called me a "little pretend nurse!"

    SweetPEI replied to Amber628's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I really really like this! Its short and to the point and it really makes a person think! Consider it stolen!

  4. Quitting 74K RN job for a 30K vet tech job? Advice please!

    SweetPEI replied to RNCDN's topic in Nursing Career

    I Didn't have a chance to read through all posts because I'm about to go to class, but my opinion is that you need to take care of yourself first. Anxiety can become debilitating as I have seen in the...

  5. Are there really enough jobs???

    SweetPEI replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Although I am just as well a sarcastic person, I leave sarcasm at the door when speaking about God. Furthermore, I will not begin to debate with you, I don't see the point. Have a wonderful

  6. CNA getting negativity from other CNAS because of acceptance in nursing school!!

    SweetPEI replied to pumpkinfuturelpn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's a nice sentiment, unfortunately some people's circumstances may never change. Could be because that's what they choose or what they have to struggle with. Reminding them of their circumstances...

    Thank you for eliminating the part where I said I want to help others

  8. Can lpns become addictions nurses?

    SweetPEI replied to geekchic's topic in Addictions

    Exactly, I wasn't sure if you meant patient history or criminal history which is why I said patient history is necessary for a treatment plan to be developed. Clarity is nice.

  9. Can lpns become addictions nurses?

    SweetPEI replied to geekchic's topic in Addictions

    I disagree royhanosn. Many people start using for various reasons. Criminal history may not be a part of it. Some people start using simply because of severe depression, developing an addiction to...

  10. CNA getting negativity from other CNAS because of acceptance in nursing school!!

    SweetPEI replied to pumpkinfuturelpn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Like my mother always told me... Sometimes you have to keep your mouth shut when good things happen to you. So that's my advice. You have already told them about your acceptance, now try to refrain...

  11. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    SweetPEI replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I sure did miss the obese statement. It was specific too... What I got from it is that only the obese people had"HUGE" sprayed hairdos, long claw-like nails while yelling on their phones. Perhaps they...

  12. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    SweetPEI replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That is sad. I view dress codes, for any occasion, as a way to respect and look included in a specific group. When you go to a five star restaurant, you dress the part, when you go the opera, you...

  13. Are there really enough jobs???

    SweetPEI replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well seeing that read only material can be taken the wrong way, I will let you know that I didn't think you called me naive. I was simply stating that I was not just taking my employers word alone,...

  14. Are there really enough jobs???

    SweetPEI replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nursel56 this post is not about me. But since you are making it so, I guess I must elaborate. My DON approached me...blah blah blah increase in pay if choose to work there upon acquiring my license.....

  15. Are there really enough jobs???

    SweetPEI replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh no I'm not the naive type of person. Furthermore, it is a contract. I didn't go into detail, since it was unnecessary when giving the OP advice. It was an example of selling ones self. The bottom...

  16. Are there really enough jobs???

    SweetPEI replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    While I agree the nursing shortage that was and in some places still being preached, I believe nursing like many other jobs is competitive and all about selling yourself. If there were unlimited...

  17. Motivating the Nurse in All of Us

    SweetPEI replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    No man is an island, no man stands alone Each man's joy is joy to me Each man's grief is my own We need one another, so I will defend Each man as my brother Each man as my friend We are all part of...

  18. Nurses and other healthcare staff smoking alongside patients!?!

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    At the end of the day I have gained a lot of insight concerning how differently nurses view acceptable and unacceptable practices when taking care of patients - specifically related to the subject....

  19. Nurses and other healthcare staff smoking alongside patients!?!

    SweetPEI posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I Just have a rant... I am sick and tired of having to be bombarded with the scent of smoke in the psychiatric facility I currently work at. Where used to work, granted it was a med-psych unit and not...

  20. Nurses and other healthcare staff smoking alongside patients!?!

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, I am young and the future of nursing. Please have an excellent day ma'am. This is not instant message. I'm not about to go back and forth with

  21. Nurses and other healthcare staff smoking alongside patients!?!

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually I don't feel personally attacked. I agree it is perspective, that is why it is extremely important to read before replying. Clearly you haven't read the whole post or your perspective would...

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Attention: you are not the only person who has replied to my thread. If you didn't advise me to do that, then why

  24. Nurses and other healthcare staff smoking alongside patients!?!

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well by my rant aren't we thereby debating? Yes, I was thrown in the trenches. Actually being told to sit outside and assist and/or smoke with patients to be understanding is detrimental to my...

  25. Nurses and other healthcare staff smoking alongside patients!?!

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanx for the replies. To address some, no patient can go out and smoke on their own. So that cancels a patient going it to smoke and burn themselves hence the reason it was requested that someone...
