  1. JCCC Part 2

    hypnotic_nurse replied to usmc94201's topic in General Nursing

    One of my friends did this throughout our time at JCCC (I also worked full time but it was days, weekends, and staggered hours). He fell asleep a few times in class (we occasionally had to...

  2. Do 'goodlooking' nurses earn better salaries?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    I'm older, plain and "fluffy" yet at my last job I made at least 10K more than the two pretty, thin young women who worked with me. I may not look like much but I can sure negotiate my

  3. Moving to OKC area

    hypnotic_nurse replied to USA987's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I've heard a lot of complaints about Midwest City Hospital. I've never worked there though, nor have I worked L&D. :) Hope you like it here!

  4. Michigan Preparing To Let Doctors Refuse To Treat Gays

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Roy Fokker's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Because everyone should have the right to access health care. You don't have to go to their church, hang out in their neighborhood, be friends with them, or whatever. But I think it's a total ethical...

  5. LPN Physical: How honest re antidepressants

    hypnotic_nurse replied to luckey47's topic in General Nursing

    Zoloft is not considered a drug of abuse, so you don't have to worry about drug screens. The only way they know is if you tell them. I wouldn't -- because it won't affect your ability to perform. And...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Dispensing medication

    hypnotic_nurse replied to HOOPS's topic in School

  8. How can you say you're not paid well?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    For what we have to know, the responsibility we have to carry, what we have to do and the hours we must work...we are VASTLY underpaid,

  9. Why "male nurses" instead of "men in nursing"?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to JDCPhD's topic in Men in Nursing

    From your other posts I am willing to bet you have few to no problems with your coworkers. Attitude is everything. I have worked with men whose use of "girls" was friendly (and thus OK)...and I have...

  10. Why "male nurses" instead of "men in nursing"?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to JDCPhD's topic in Men in Nursing

    Oh please. You are working with independent, strong women. NOT girls. Most men don't care to be called "boy"...it's dismissive and belittling. Sounds like you'd LIKE to think women are threatened by...

  11. Presenting Depression to Kids

    hypnotic_nurse replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in General Nursing

    I sometimes speak at the high school on psych disorders. I always start off with the percentages...and that if statistics are correct, X number of people right here will have it sometime in their...

  12. Is there REALLY such a thing as overachieving?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to CRNAinTHEfuture's topic in Nursing Career

    There is nothing wrong with striving to be the best. And you shouldn't have to defend yourself. I've never understood why people don't accept the "win" for academics when the same people will be...

  16. Physican restraints still being used???

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Lawnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    The title of this thread makes it look like you are restraining

  17. Are Dr.'s really this way?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to ebrooks's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes the physicians I work with are abrupt when they are busy or stressed. I've never worked with one who was deliberately

  18. Why "male nurses" instead of "men in nursing"?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to JDCPhD's topic in Men in Nursing

    Personally, in written works I prefer "s/he" which is easier than the cumbersome "he or she" or "she or he". There's also another way of doing it, which is alternating paragraphs, one using female...

  19. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

    hypnotic_nurse replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not in Oklahoma; unfortunately the one time my dad needed help, they all declined, even though a simple phone call was all that was needed. And a special "boo" to Nickles, who (at least at that time)...

  23. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in Men in Nursing

    If "all" the women you are working with hate you, then you may want to look at your own work habits or behavior, unless it's a very small, insular workplace (in which case, the best thing to do is...

  24. I love nursing but I'm too busy to:

    hypnotic_nurse replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I love being a research nurse but I don't have time to be pulled away from my work to fill in in the clinic when the high maintenance MD has pissed off yet another nurse so badly that she

  25. People Are Big Babies Anymore

    hypnotic_nurse replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

    People are less trusting and feel more powerless...this seems to have started in the 60s, with "don't trust anyone over 30" and Nixon and the Vietnam war...and it's only getting worse. Our society...
