  7. What would you say to this shocking patient statement?

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

    Indeed, it is pure oppression to let those kind of things control how we act. And please don't even get me started on that... Customer service fast food restaurant mentality... The customer is always...

  8. What would you say to this shocking patient statement?

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

    No one said she is worse than any other nurse that vents. The point is that when we try to call people out on something they have done we, at times, do the very thing we call then out on. So I think...

  9. Nursing School admit policies.

    SweetPEI replied to PennyWise's topic in General Nursing

    According to what I've learned (Georgia), the BON's are a lot stricter on students than already licensed nurses. They can easily reject you. For example, in Georgia, licensed nurses can seek help for...

  10. What would you say to this shocking patient statement?

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

    All of what you are saying is understood. However, allow us to open your eyes to our rationale. If a patient said an inappropriate prejudiced comment and I'm seeking advice on how I should have...

  11. What would you say to this shocking patient statement?

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

    Usually with AMA, you pay out of pocket. Insurance doesn't have to cover your stay if you leave against doctor's advice. In my facility, we have tons of people who end up with huge bills because of...

  12. What would you say to this shocking patient statement?

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

    I can see you're point OP in regard to this patient's comment. However like mentioned before, you are much like this patient in terms of how you described her. What in the world does her weight, need...

  13. This is a beautiful story....true or not

    SweetPEI replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    True or not, this story embodies the meaning of selflessness. Can you imagine how easy it is to positively impact people's lives? This story is a wonderful example of this. I will be

  15. Stupid q's: Has smoking cigarettes kept you from getting a job?

    SweetPEI replied to mls4455's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I actually do, if the client orders that service. Hopefully healthcare facilities routinely have employees drug tested, but that is sick. I hope she is in jail and unable to hold a license

  16. I'm stuck with two sets of brand new uniforms

    SweetPEI posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So, excited as was, I purchased my uniforms according to what we were told, in writing, when we got our official acceptance letter in January. White and navy blue. Well this Tuesday, 7 months later,...

  17. I'm stuck with two sets of brand new uniforms

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd be kind of weary about doing that myself. I can see the mess now lol. Do you know a business that can do that? I might look into that. From there I know how to keep dye from bleeding (good 'ol...

  18. Stupid q's: Has smoking cigarettes kept you from getting a job?

    SweetPEI replied to mls4455's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your point is valid, however, studies have showed (be honest, we didn't need the studies to tell us) smoking causes many of the most preventable diseases. Furthermore, there is second hand and third...

  19. Stupid q's: Has smoking cigarettes kept you from getting a job?

    SweetPEI replied to mls4455's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I currently administer nicotine testing. Besides working at a psych hospital, I also do health assessments/screenings for corporations. Depending on if upgraded services are ordered, I have to test...

  20. I'm stuck with two sets of brand new uniforms

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The update is that I spoke to the instructor that said it is ok and she said... it is ok. One of the directors happened to be there as well, and she also said yes because it is in the handbook. So as...

  21. I'm stuck with two sets of brand new uniforms

    SweetPEI replied to SweetPEI's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for all the input. I'm guessing I will hold on to them for now, but I will look into ebay and craig's

  22. Student Clickers?

    SweetPEI replied to arbor-vitae's topic in General Students

    They should also have the option available for renting. However, I don't recommend that unless you are sure you won't have to use it again, otherwise... Bite the bullet and purchase it. Its usage is...

  23. Textbooks cheaper.

    SweetPEI replied to jrinoldi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I beg to differ. When I buy my texts, I compare prices with amazon barnes and noble, ebay, etc. This time, for me, barnes and noble was the cheapest... I am a member, and I got a huge discount and...

  24. Need advice on my uniform fit

    SweetPEI replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    As far as cherokee pant scrubs, there are the one's with the elastic in the back, flat front, flare leg and regular. They all have a different fit. I agree with the previous posters, however, for me...

  25. Wet Hair Don't Care?

    SweetPEI replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    Curly hair will always be "in" for me. Its what my hair is naturally and I love it. The longer, the more work, but I wouldn't have it any other way. OP, just be prepared to budget your time as you...
