    Help, am I overreacting or is this normal???

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to spicy1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I haven't heard of that. We do occasionally have "Help-All" nurses that are basically there to fill in the gaps, but they are not forbidden from doing RN

    How hard are these pre-licensure courses?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Weber's topic in General Nursing

    I took a year and got everything done (english, math, psychology, etc) then went to the nursing program with only nursing courses to do for the other two years. Best thing I ever did. I can't...

    When did you decide nursing was for you?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to pishoncna's topic in General Nursing

    When my preschooler broke her leg while playing at our friend's house. I calmly assessed the situation and splinted her leg while giving orders to my (freaking out) husband and asking my friends to...

    white underwear under white scrub bottoms?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to ashleymarie23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    White leggings under the white pants. Then you can wear ALMOST any underwear you want. They're no fun in the summer

    mistake on heparin??

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to marriednextmonth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree wholeheartedly. It wasn't the OP who is at fault here. It's the oncoming nurse. OP should have had them in the computer, but that's minor compared to the next nurse needing to make sure it...

    First med error

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to LPN9816aj's topic in General Nursing

    My first med error had me so scared for my patient and myself that I kept waking up all night feeling squirmy that I might do it again, hurt someone by it, proved to the other nurses that I suck as a...

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to RN1555's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on the hours, you can do morning baby care and he can do evenings I work 2nd shift and it works well for the kids since they have both parents. They do have a 2 hour "lay over" at a...

    Please help! Scared to start working as a nurse

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to patricia_price's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell you the same thing a great friend told me... "Do you think that, in all the years they've been working there, they've never seen a graduate nurse before?!" Just don't be that grad nurse who...

    Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Two entirely different health care models. They don't compare that easily. Had an MD from another country try to get an RN degree to carry him financially while he looked for residency locally....

    "Stupid" questions and working as new RN

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to lillystarrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the right thing. Especially as you are establishing yourself as a team member. You don't want them questioning your every action because you were caught lying once AND I'm sure that...

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to RI Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your answer is : I like the community here and would like to learn more about this hospital. I am not looking at long term care because I would like to get more med-surg experience. I'm pretty sure...

    Anyone else a Biker Nurse? ;)

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    A moto guzzi? I wouldn't even have a place nearby that could fix those. I agree with FF-PHRN. Good taste. I like to commute on my m/c too with gas prices being so high. Besides that, it melts...

    Why do so many nurses from the Philippines come to Canada/USA?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to lilaclover's topic in Philippines

    So tired of hearing "mexicans are stealing our jobs", "chinese are stealing our jobs", "(insert race/religion/nationality here) are stealing our jobs." The honest truth is that providing a visa for a...

    Why are patients...?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    Why are breast augmentation patients always so darn surprised that it hurts? Why does Dr. Diety always think his patients are going to go home from surgery the same day when they always end up as...

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to jdsp87's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I only wash separately if I've been peed/pooped/puked on or in a c. diff room most of the day. 90% of the time it's all in with regular
