    Horseshoe replied to Steph82997's topic in General Students

  3. Getting pregnant during last semester or during new job?

    Horseshoe replied to Steph82997's topic in General Students

    After having given birth during nursing school, my advice is to wait until you have a year under your belt as a nurse, unless you are older and your fertility is at risk. You'll have the rest of your...

  4. Dr Death

    Horseshoe replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    He ruined many lives...I don't consider that "meh." It's just despicable how he was allowed to continue to practice...even after numerous doctors complained about his horrible surgical techniques when...

  5. Old nurse won't retire

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    - Sounds like there are also some management issues here as well. The unit manager should be on that-OT was always looked at very carefully in my experience. Of course it sometimes proved necessary,...

  6. New nurse getting dumped on. Ready to switch.

    Horseshoe replied to NewNurse1997's topic in General Nursing

    The charge nurse SHOULDN'T be taking the worst patients. In some places, the charge nurse doesn't even take patients at all, or has a reduced

  10. Old nurse won't retire

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What people often mean when they say that is that they want to work in order to be out in the world, interacting with others, and in the case of nursing, helping others-both patients and families....

  11. Old nurse won't retire

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how anyone here could actually know what's happening in the "vast majority" of cases. We can really only speak to our own small samples of self/friends/relatives, and even then, we may not...

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, the irony. Good frickin'

  13. Old nurse won't retire

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    To be fair, we really only have two posters making crude and/or mean and judgmental posts. One female (no sympathy for people who weren't able to marry or have children) and one male (the young nurses...

  14. How do you deal with dizziness and syncope?

    Horseshoe replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, so glad I didn't have a big spoonful of beef bouillon in my mouth when I read that, or it would be all over my computer

  15. First job after LPN licensing & Being treated with disrespect!

    Horseshoe replied to Mary0000's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. I knew it...I absolutely knew that you would say people are jealous of you because you are pretty and smarter. Carry

    Horseshoe replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in General Nursing

    If you would please follow up on the outcome of your appeal, that would be appreciated. Obviously a request and not a command, as you have no obligation to do

  18. First job after LPN licensing & Being treated with disrespect!

    Horseshoe replied to Mary0000's topic in General Nursing

    Why would an experienced nurse who has a good rapport with the rest of the staff be jealous of a nurse fresh out of

  19. First job after LPN licensing & Being treated with disrespect!

    Horseshoe replied to Mary0000's topic in General Nursing

    You should have had a number 5, and that is: 5) Do some honest soul searching to see if you are in any way contributing to the problems at

  21. Anyone know any non-traditional RN jobs in Las Vegas?

    Horseshoe replied to SoCal student's topic in General Nursing

    I was just going to say the same thing! I watched the latest Jersey Shore the other night after my daughter begged me to. The only positive thing to come of that was witnessing a mobile IV infusion...

  22. First job after LPN licensing & Being treated with disrespect!

    Horseshoe replied to Mary0000's topic in General Nursing

  24. Very concerned

    Horseshoe replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in General Nursing

    I think firing you was overly punitive. Nowadays, it seems as if it's either "X happened, so quit!" or "X happened, so fire him!" No willingness to work towards solutions. I find that very...
