    Thanks for ruining my holiday ....

    RosesrReder replied to Peeker19's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am so sorry to hear. Don't let it ruin your day. At the end of the day, you will not be able to get the holiday back and all the good things you could have done. Dust yourself off, forget about...

    RosesrReder replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    i politely disagree. not cute when you are hopping on the old man's chest performing compressions or coming in with the md to tell the pt and the family of their grim prognosis. how about the dying pt...

    Patient made me feel like low life

    RosesrReder replied to FiduciaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, in nursing you are expected to be a mother Teresa unless the pt is atheist of course. Otherwise, expect to be criticized about your weight, hair color (or lack of), perfume/cologne, the load of...

    Associates in RN w/ Husband, 2 kids and working....is it possible?

    RosesrReder replied to Mommy2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very possible. If a single, working mom can do it you can too; especially having a husband. He will need to pick up extra chores so prepare him. Good

    Texas: Methodist Hospital Moves To Hire Only RNS' with BS degree

    RosesrReder replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree, but they don't really have to or will be inclined to anytime soon. There are way too many new grads out there (large amount of the relocating to TX to find a job), and many possess a BSN....

    Nurse Vs Daughter! Help Me!!!

    RosesrReder replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree. Everyone deserves a second chance in life when it comes to situations like these. If anything, the OP deserves closure and move on in life. Some people (especially men)...

    signing bonus

    RosesrReder replied to Lola77's topic in General Nursing

    Very hard to determine if it's a 'crappy' place to work for or not with only 6 months under your belt. After taxes, you will realize it's not that huge of a sum and to be quite honest, I'd rather...

    Nudity?

    RosesrReder replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    Glad I didn't go to some of these schools. At my school, we didn't do any exposing. We did practice bed baths and assessments on each other but fully clothed. I did get to shave my partner (a male)...

    pregnant and unregular shifts - Mgr won't listen to Dr. recommendations

    RosesrReder replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think they have to accommodate you, but it sure would be mindful of your manager. Just know they are not concerned about you being pregnant and they are probably just looking at the holes...

    Just wondering -- what is the "cost" of hiring new grads?

    The face of nursing is changing.

    RosesrReder replied to dthomasa's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital before the one I currently work for, was very annoying with their titles. HUC's or unit secretaries were to be called (and had on their badge) BA=Business Associate, Charge Nurse= RC or...

    Re-read what the 'point' of the OP and other supporters is. It is NOT about writing in absolute perfection (we already agreed that NO ONE is perfect). When you come across a post/thread that looks...
