    nightengalegoddess replied to LifesAJourney's topic in General Nursing

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

    nightengalegoddess replied to spicy1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Yes, this has happened at two different hospitals I've worked quite frequently. I never enjoyed having to do that but again, getting paid a lot more than the real PCT's and CNA's (we realize they...

    nightengalegoddess replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I passed the NCLEX with the 75 questions. Of course, I thought I had failed terribly. I still have a hard time with the psycho-social aspects of nursing. I may be very intelligent and able to...

  8. Is this normal?

    nightengalegoddess replied to gorjos's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, all too normal. It is no wonder RNs are not always "normal" people. When these types of nights happen; I have a hard time controlling my facial expressions! They can get me into...

  9. MAs call themselves Nurses at my office..opinions please?

    nightengalegoddess replied to lisaannjamRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    PS why in the world does everyone have to watch their back when the law is apparent. But maybe in PA as previous poster stated it is not quite apparent. Geez. I hate the world we live in sometimes....

  10. MAs call themselves Nurses at my office..opinions please?

    nightengalegoddess replied to lisaannjamRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Didn't even read the comments....(will later...uhh).....it is a felony I think to represent oneself as a nurse without the LPN or RN (some other states have LPN as LVN I think). It seems the...

  12. Another Rant About Rudeness/Bullying/Eating

    nightengalegoddess replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Net Glow, I do hear what you are saying. And I like it. But what is normal anyway? I think most nurses either start with some psych trouble or after some years end up developing some. But I DO see...

    nightengalegoddess posted a topic in General Nursing

    How many of you have felt discriminated against at work or harrassed because you are a certain ethnicity, gender, body shape, anything? I would like to know because it seems that everywhere I have...

  14. have you been discriminated against or harrassed by other nurses

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just going to stop here because it will only bring more negativity if I continue. I can tell you I am Black in a Hispanic and White populace. I've described my body shape already. I work in a...

  15. Another Rant About Rudeness/Bullying/Eating

    nightengalegoddess replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why don't nurses even take this important topic seriously. A nurse who feels she is working in a hositle work environment ought to have some kind of support. It IS NOT always the person crying...

  16. have you been discriminated against or harrassed by other nurses

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    Hello again. Yes, to you all...I have done nothing ever to bring on discrimination except be a certain color with a certain body shape that some women seem to envy and hate. Despite baggy clothing,...

  17. Why RNs cannot say 'That's not my job'

    nightengalegoddess replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in General Nursing

    I would have just said "maybe you don't really know what kind of money RNs make". Or, "gee, why don't you just go and become an RN then?". Gosh, that RT has no respect for herself or anything she...

  18. Is it ok to say . . .

    nightengalegoddess replied to ArtsyCraftsy's topic in General Nursing

    I usually say something like, "It has been my privlidge to care for you. I hope to see you again....IN THE GROCERY STORE". I think it is nice to leave people with a smiling, caring memory of their...

  19. I feel so embarrased and feel like harrased...

    nightengalegoddess replied to neeke816's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He was not harrassing you. He probably had no control and was actually quite modest and polite about the whole thing. Unless he said something like "I have something FOR YOU"....now THAT would be out...

  20. How old is too old?

    nightengalegoddess replied to Maryea's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I can't even wait long enough to read others' responses. GO FOR IT. Life is short. When you are dead (if we get this crazy chance)....will you be thinking "gee, I'm glad I didn't try that...I was too...

  22. Better pay if Bilingual?

    nightengalegoddess replied to Little Doe's topic in General Nursing

    When you become bilingual you will be valued when you do land your job. You will be respected and called upon for translation aplenty. You may not get more money, but you may land a job over an only...

  23. Willing to move ANYWHERE - best place (site or other) to job search?

    nightengalegoddess replied to WorldTravelingYogi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are free. What weather do you like? What kind of people do you like? What are your hobbies. I would start equating those things with locales. Do you want a place to foster your inner...

  24. What do you think? (warning: vent ahead)

    nightengalegoddess replied to Nursey103's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We will not change the drug seekers. They have crazy high tolerances and usually they can handle it. It is about them, not us. New nurses often have trouble giving this kind of cocktail because it is...

  25. #!@$ I hate cancer

    nightengalegoddess replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Nursing

    Life is not fair in the least. This is why some people become athiests. I can understand that completely. And I understand you completely. We see it all. And it is often ugly. Praises for those of us,...
