  1. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Are you being deliberately obtuse? I tell my D all the things which have been mentioned: Don't drink to excess, don't set a drink down and walk off, when you go out with your girlfriends, watch each...

  2. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I would come up with many things which have NOTHING to do with whether or not a woman has sex before

  3. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    "Seriously old-fashioned' is not the word I would use to describe your point of

    He will not be in the state penitentiary, but the county jail, where this will be far less likely to

  5. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Horseshoe replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, come ON. You are a nurse in the midst of educating a patient. As you walk off, you see a family member of another patient in the hallway and hear her say to your patient, "Hey, what she said...

  6. Use of cellphones while at work

    Horseshoe replied to givxnchy's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak for that poster, but at my endo facility, absolutely I do. I cannot IMAGINE having time to"send flirty texts" or check facebook. Those patients are coming out like they are the...

  7. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Horseshoe replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Of course it doesn't...that's not even remotely the

  8. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    Horseshoe replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    Don't hit me...but I've been a nurse for 20 years, worked ICU, Post cath lab unit, stepdown, endo, and OR, and I've never had to change a colostomy bag. (Ducks and runs off with hands covering...

  9. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I always, ALWAYS discount whatever parents have to say in these situations. Murderers who have killed people in front of multiple witnesses have family members who continue to deny their guilt or try...

  10. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Horseshoe replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    OP, with all due respect, I find your going to report him for "rudeness" to be every bit as ego driven and inappropriate as you butting in on something that was none of your business. I'm willing to...

  11. RNs treat me like I'm not a nurse

    Horseshoe replied to happyspn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I also have no idea whether the nurses at my facility are ASN or BSN. Our badges simply say

  12. RNs treat me like I'm not a nurse

    Horseshoe replied to happyspn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, that's a pretty broad brush you are painting with. "RNs" are so insecure? All RNs? Most RNs? Some RNs? Or along the same percentage as the general population? ETA: I now see that the...

  13. ICU nightmares

    Horseshoe replied to CardiacDork's topic in Critical Care

    I have similar dreams. In the dream, I wonder why I'm stressing so much about my grades when I already have a college degree. But I can't help myself. Often I can't find my classroom, or I realize...

  14. Transgender Patients

    Horseshoe replied to sherri64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We had a transgender female patient recently. Her legal name was John Doe, but she made it clear she wanted to be referred to as Jane. The intake nurse noted this with a post it note on her chart. I...

  15. Use of cellphones while at work

    Horseshoe replied to givxnchy's topic in General Nursing

    You will have to get over that if you want this job and the future good references it will provide. How you feel about it is essentially irrelevant since you don't make the rules there. I think...

    Horseshoe replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    Where in my post did I say there was anything wrong with

  17. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    Horseshoe replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    I saw this license plate once: GR8

  18. Is 90k in loans worth my BSN?

    Horseshoe replied to raeelynn's topic in General Students

    Well, when you phrase it like

  19. Will I become a bad nurse? How should I change?

    Horseshoe replied to blueus's topic in General Nursing

    That's a nice start. But you cannot cure yourself overnight. You really need professional help. Please get

  20. Lapsed license - advice?

    Horseshoe replied to Jeanne Ramick's topic in General Nursing

    It's nice to get renewal notices, but as we are grownups, it's my belief that we are ultimately responsible for renewing our licenses. I can hardly believe there is a state that makes it legal to...

  21. Will you tell me about your first year as a nurse?

    Horseshoe replied to hnnrgh's topic in First Year After Licensure

    After a year, I quit feeling sick to my stomach on the way in to work. By year two, I felt "comfortable," more days than not, but still had days where I wondered why I'd ever felt I was competent....

  22. Becoming a Nurse after cancer history

    Horseshoe replied to Pursenurse77's topic in General Nursing

    I've never had a life threatening disease, though my DH has beaten cancer and gone on to achieve great things in his career. But I just wanted to congratulate you on achieving a meaningful remission....

  23. anyone know of any other jobs

    Horseshoe replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Have a paralegal friend (2 year degree) who makes tons more than I do. She also gets big bonuses when her boss wins a case she worked on, nice benefits, and other

  24. Best quality care cannot be provided

    Horseshoe replied to uniqueguy34's topic in General Nursing

    As I suspected. School nurses aren't always given proper credit for what they do. From what I understand, they are seeing more and more complicated cases as children are mainstreamed.

  25. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Horseshoe replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    No she didn't do the "morally correct thing." She butted in a professional interaction that was none of her business. The pharmacist wasn't giving harmful advice to the client. And I bet if an off...
