  1. I Cheated?

    Horseshoe replied to tylay's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, I'm not either, but I play one on

  2. Your worst nightmare

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Every time I had a patient who needed an EKG, I noted the time it was done in my nurse's notes. That would be another step of protection. We had EKG techs who did the EKGs, so they would also...

    Confession. Then

  4. I Cheated?

    Good luck in nursing school. You're going to need

  5. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    Why would you enjoy helping people you hate? You're actually a better person than I. I once had to care for a man who murdered a toddler. I did not enjoy one minute of

  6. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    No, the classy cat would be sipping on a hearty cabernet. Or if white, it should be Dom Perignon or Cristal. That looks like your garden variety table wine

  7. You should know better

    Horseshoe replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I ate half a bag of Bugles last

  8. I Cheated?

    Horseshoe replied to tylay's topic in General Nursing

    I find it a concern that you could cheat your way through the test and score no better than

  9. What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

    Horseshoe replied to Kimynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pre-4.0 Graduation: 4.0 I wouldn't recommend going for a 4.0. Unless you don't mind stressing your marriage, your spirit, and your body. Yeah, life long thick maned head of hair falling out by...

  10. clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Yes, I did. I was certain from your post that you were young- and immature for your age at that. Young people don't have the life experience that usually gives one better perspective. I have two...

  11. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    Wasn't the real Florence Nightingale a REALLY crusty old bat? I think I read that history has not portrayed her

  12. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    Some people really want to insist that the OP didn't mean what she said. There actually ARE people who hate people! That's how the word "misanthrope" came to be. This guy really means

  13. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    I personally love teenagers. That was the thing I most enjoyed about being a school teacher. It was the parents who were the most difficult aspect of teaching that age

  14. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    No, she actually said she "dislikes" kids and doesn't like interacting with them. But yes, puzzling why she'd say she might want to work with them. And if she doesn't like people, working with...

  15. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    I didn't say she shouldn't have kids because of a personality difference! I said it because she said she doesn't like children, only babies! I would never have addressed the issue if she didn't bring...

  16. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    Lots of us are introverts. That's totally different than how the OP is describing herself. I forget who already called it, but misanthrope is the proper

  17. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    Not trying to be rude. But I find her post to be incredibly narcissistic and arrogant. She seems to think large numbers of people are consumed with her. Not so. And she SAYS she "hates people." I...

  18. clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I was about to respond that the OP sounds really immature. By her posts, I thought for sure she was 20 years old but immature even for that age. She is in her 50s? Wow, just...wow. OP has complained...

  19. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    You hate people and are really critical of them. Got it. But what is it about YOU that is so superior? What exactly to YOU bring to the table of life which makes you different from these annoying...

  20. Your worst nightmare

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Another worst nightmare: I realize I've been working in the ICU for the past (insert time frame) with an expired

  21. Your worst nightmare

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Me too, although in mine I'm giving report on my other patients, finish, gather my things to go and the receiving nurse asks about Joe Blow in room 109, I say he wasn't my patient, and she points at...

  22. Your worst nightmare

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    What is there to get? Patients go home AMA. Sometimes it's a mistake. Sometimes doctors misdiagnose. It happens. How are we as nurses supposed to change our practice based on your story?...

  23. Your worst nightmare

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Given your inability to remember relevant details, your story doesn't really present any significant lessons. There are too many missing pieces to be able to make a determination that this would be...

  24. You should know better

    Horseshoe replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Triplets.

  25. How do you handle narcissist patients?

    Horseshoe replied to mikala3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe, but we are professionals, not laypeople, and we should try to keep our terminology correct, especially as it relates to categorizing or labeling
