  1. Awkward!!

    Horseshoe replied to mommywifern's topic in General Nursing

    What is "intermittent charge"? I know what "intermittent" means, but I've never seen it used in this

  2. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Horseshoe replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your teachers must be wusses. How does one "refuse" to take a scheduled test and not fail the class? Sure wouldn't have cut it at my program, which is considered to be one of the top programs in my...

  3. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Horseshoe replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As every experienced, knowledgeable, and "passionate" nurse knows, even young people get sick and die. You may not make it 40 years yourself. You might not make it 5 more years. None of us are...

  4. Worried about my google search

    Horseshoe replied to RNHS's topic in General Nursing

    Being licensed and getting hired are two different things. I disagree with those who feel confident this won't hurt your chances for employment. Employees are hired by people. Someone who has a...

  5. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    Horseshoe replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

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

    Have any of you seen the celebrities read mean tweets on Jimmy Kimmel? Some of these stories remind me of those, which are funny in that they make the tweeter look so much worse than the celebrity....

  9. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    Horseshoe replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't have to go "anywhere." I can say whatever I dang well please here as long as it's not against TOS. I don't have to be "supportive" about actions with which I disagree. And "subjective" is...

  10. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    Horseshoe replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please show where the OP said anything about being "threatened." She thought the nurse was not nice. That's completely subjective. She needs objective data about unit violations. Saying a nurse...

  11. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    Horseshoe replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You complained to your boss and your boss' supervisor about another nurse because she rolled her eyes and made you "feel" like she didn't want you working with her? Wow. I think that was a cowardly...

  14. What do you do when a pt goes into anaphylactic shock?

    Horseshoe replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    You will NEVER have to handle a code as a nursing student. If it ever happens, get in the corner and watch everyone like a

  15. never seem to be getting the hard patients

    Horseshoe replied to GE90's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like your coworkers can't win...first they give you the "hard" patients, but come to your aid when you have trouble keeping up . Then, they try to cut you some slack and let you get your sea...

  16. Student nurses with disabilities

    Horseshoe replied to sara2013's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It completely depends on what "cognitive deficits" the nurse in question has. It's impossible to say it's a moot point without having that pretty important

  20. Student nurses with disabilities

    Horseshoe replied to sara2013's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  21. Student nurses with disabilities

    Horseshoe replied to sara2013's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    There is a big misconception about accommodations. Just because you have asked for accommodations does not mean you are entitled to anything and everything which you have asked for. The...
