  2. Bear Wanders Through Hospital in Virginia

    TexasPoodleMix replied to BRANDY LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I understand both sides, believe me , I do. However, I know around here too often "cops" or authorities shoot first and ask questions later when it comes to animals. Perfect example the "patton...

    TexasPoodleMix replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

  9. Worried about co-worker

    TexasPoodleMix replied to pgrsctrn2be's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm not a nurse, but if it were me right now I would just ignore it. Sounds like she is begging for attention. She probably won't last long. Plz. don't slam me! :uhoh21: just my opinion

  10. Is becoming a Nurse hard?

    TexasPoodleMix replied to NA NA's topic in General Nursing

    I am NOT nurse so I can't speak 100% but I think there are aspects to every career/ job that suck. There are ALWAYS a**holes in every field just lurking and planning schemes. Every job and field I...

  15. Your priorities

    TexasPoodleMix replied to Sahn's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious about something, does the admin. "look down" on nurses when they don't constantly work their days off, etc. ?? I am in a totally unrelated situation right now (a volunteer situation)...

  16. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    TexasPoodleMix replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    so say i graduate in 2007ish with an ADN (already have a BS in another field, not feasible to go back right now) do you think it is possible for me to get a job as a floor nurse ? (with an

  17. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    TexasPoodleMix replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    Hyp, that's like me. Maybe after I "become" a nurse I will be more interested in getting a BSN but right now I am just not interested. My MIL has an ADN with no bachelors and is a great nurse, loves...

  22. Your thoughts on elder abuse

    TexasPoodleMix replied to military girl's topic in General Nursing

    she is OK, I guess. These incidents took place in her home (house) and shortly after she had to go into a nursing home. She couldn't afford a "real" nurse so basically just got someone who was looking...

  23. Your thoughts on elder abuse

    TexasPoodleMix replied to military girl's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's horrible and chicken sh*t to put it bluntly. My gma. was a victim of this by a "caretaker". She stole from her, slapped her, put a pillow over her head, depleted what little $$ she had,...
