  2. That Johnson & Johnson commercial!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. should i give up my nursing career?

    Whenever I was orientating I felt like a burden too. I would come up to the nurse I was assigned to work with and I would see the look of "$#%^ I have to deal with you today???" on her face. She would...
  4. "undercover" patients in New Mexico

    I agree with you all the way. What are these JERKS trying to prove by having this "secret shopper" garbage? If anything, maybe it will proved how short staffed nursing homes are and how a few...
  5. Capping Ceremony

    When I was doing clinicals in the ER (it is a really small town, not much goes on) we were passing time by and the ER doctor started talking about how he wished the nurses still dressed appropriately...

    God help
  7. Professionalism and Nurses

    Unless I am familiar with a resident at the LTC facility where I work I usually don't feel comfortable calling a person by his or her first name. But I wouldn't jump down this girl's throat for her...

    You think that's bad, try a relationship that makes you feel that way. I speak from experience. It's real
  12. What does your screenname mean?

    Anyone who likes the Beatles will know where mine came from.
  13. Nurses caps!

    Well, I have to plead guilty to sloppy shoes:imbar It was never my intention to try to be like Michael Moore, but one day the nursing home called my cell phone while I was working on my farm and they...
  14. Is that cheap for a house out there? That is incredible. What do you call a good salary out there? You must make $50 or $60/hr...$330,000 would buy a 3,000 Sq foot mansion in most parts of the...
  15. Nurse Abandonment - What does it constitute?

    Wow, I did not realize that. There is almost nothing that makes me more angry than to work a hard 3-11 shift and the night nurse does not show up...to me a no-call-no-show should not be given a second...
  16. Nurses caps!

    At the LTC facility where I work the DON is a lady who won't give her age (but we estimate late 60's or early 70's) and we wore nursing caps until last year, when the nurses revolted (all they did was...
  17. tension between EMT and LTC nurses?

    I was at one of my night classes at the college tonight. Down the hall they are having an EMT course and one of the instructors (I have to admit) is a pretty good-looking, well-built guy. As I was...
  18. Are you talking LPN or RN? As an LPN in Tennessee, my salary after 4 yrs. in a LTC facility is $14.50/hr. An RN I know from there is making $21.50/hr. (but she said she really had to wheel and deal...
  19. Ok...This is getting old

    I know a woman who passed it on her third try, of course, you know you are not alone. I wish I was in your shoes. I'm sweating through nursing prereq. classes right now I don't even know if I will...
  20. Did anyone else (besides BSN students) have to take chemistry for nursing school? I am having a terrible time. I'm not a math person anyway, and this information is just overwhelming me. I study for...
  21. This is a hospital diploma program. They would not accept Intro. to Chemistry as acceptable (I checked that out already), it has to be General Chemistry I. I wish I had taken Intro. to Chemistry first...
  22. Help! How do I survive this!!!

    Even as an LPN student I found that attitudes were plenty (especially the OR at this particular hospital). One of my school peers made the comment one time, "they must think we should have been born...
  23. I don't like people knowing my business either but I figure there are more things worth getting upset over. It's amazing how things travel through the grapevine. At the nursing home where I work you...
  24. Precepting new nurses

    I have always been a slow getting started. As a new nurse, I felt overwhelmed when I was getting orientated. It was all new to me, and some of us just have brains that are easier to overload (like my...
  25. med aide

    I realize there are med aides who are 110% dedicated to their job and who do their job to the best of their abilities. Unfortunately, that is not good enough, and if I knew my incapacitated family...
