  1. my problem with allnurses...why so pessimistic?

    MyGranniePanties replied to pymschrs's topic in General Nursing

    I also get discouraged. I just told my husband a few days ago that I was to the point of giving up on nursing altogether. The stories about people not finding jobs for 2 years.... Depressing! But not...

  2. Patients should ALL be swabbed tested for HIV

    MyGranniePanties replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not forget the tricks your mind plays on you. If you are afraid of HIV pts and all you can think is "this person has HIV, this person has HIV" you are more likely to make a mistake than if you...

  3. what percentage of your job involves poop?

    MyGranniePanties replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Nursing

  4. Noncompliant parents. Do I have any rights to protect my license?

    MyGranniePanties replied to RNC-NIC's topic in General Nursing

    Ic, thanks for clearing that up for me

  5. Noncompliant parents. Do I have any rights to protect my license?

    MyGranniePanties replied to RNC-NIC's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it is just me but this seems like a super easy fix. Anyone can call CPS at any time without giving their name or information. No matter the outcome of their investigation at least you can have...

  6. what percentage of your job involves poop?

    MyGranniePanties replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's just me, but I am way more worried about the thought that some nurse might have to clean my poop someday than I am about me cleaning someone elses. I have poop issues

  7. NS with Union Questions

    MyGranniePanties replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    I am in Louisiana and have a few questions... When you say "unionized hospital" does that mean there is a specific union for that hospital if you choose to join? Or can you "shop around" for different...

  8. Religion in the Room

    MyGranniePanties replied to SeeTheMoon's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    All the replies are from those that are comfortable, even if you are not religious, but what if you are not comfortable? A little background... I am not comfortable myself with what I do or do not...

  9. At what point are employers asking TMI?

    MyGranniePanties replied to KayRN910's topic in General Nursing

    LOL it must be a NP thing... Mine said... So the question is not are you sexually active, it's just how sexually active are you?

  10. At what point are employers asking TMI?

    MyGranniePanties replied to KayRN910's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mean that you meant "me" in particular. However, by saying "you" generic or not you (as in yes, YOU) are implying that you are assuming that anyone that has a problem with it doesn't vote,...

  11. At what point are employers asking TMI?

    MyGranniePanties replied to KayRN910's topic in General Nursing

    Since when did it mean that because the majority votes for someone that meant "everyone" voted for them? Dudette said it correctly. The insurance company has the right to know my medical business,...

  12. At what point are employers asking TMI?

    MyGranniePanties replied to KayRN910's topic in General Nursing

    This is outrageous! And I'm sorry to say, but I think that anyone who consents to this is just feeding the fire. I understand people need jobs, but honestly if people don't stand up for what is right...

  13. types of co-workers/patients to be aware of. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE?

    MyGranniePanties replied to tater.jake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know this is off topic, but this story touches my heart so I'll share. When I was 18 I worked overnight cashiering at a truck stop (scary, I know!!) anyway, as you can imagine we saw everything!!...

    MyGranniePanties posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am trying to finish up my prereqs as quickly as I can so I can apply to my CCs nursing program next fall. I have already taken two semesters of prereqs and still feel a little behind. I have...

    I'm not even a nurse yet, and I know something is not right

  18. Worried about fall schedule....

    MyGranniePanties replied to MyGranniePanties's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school offers summer courses. I was planning on taking either a&p1 by itself, or 2 "just because I want to take it" classes. But I had some financial difficulties when the time to pay up or get...

    MyGranniePanties replied to macgirl's topic in General Nursing

    MyGranniePanties replied to tater.jake's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is me!! :) This will probably be me.... sorry in advance!!! "The intimidated by the nurses" patient: Too scared to say anything or ask questions because the nurse is inching her way out the...

  24. Nurses targeted for real estate agents?

    MyGranniePanties replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    This makes me giggle because of all the real estate agents that are going to school with me to get nursing degrees right
