  1. Nursing makes me nuts!!!!

    xtxrn replied to ksc0723's topic in General Students

    That follows the line of thinking that we need to dumb down schools for kids, so all pass. Turn out a bunch of subpar kids, just to keep everybody "the same". Should the College of Yahoos have the...

    xtxrn replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, about that not having the time to use the equipment...how long does it take to recover from a back injury? What if you have a patient grab you around the neck and pop a disc? (and I know how...

  3. Why does this stigma exist in relation to new nurses?

    xtxrn replied to VeraciousRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nursing instructors get paid- but from what I hear, it's less than those who are working clinically (vs academic) . Nurses who are working and get someone to precept or orient get a couple of...

    Pop back in here in 10 years and revisit this :) You need to know what you don't know ...and right now, you don't know how you'll feel in 10 years.

  5. Why does this stigma exist in relation to new nurses?

    xtxrn replied to VeraciousRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A high acuity unit with high ratios is not automatically toxic. A LOT of places run their buts off with crazy sick patients, and because they know and do their jobs and don't drag in personal drama,...

  6. Why does this stigma exist in relation to new nurses?

    xtxrn replied to VeraciousRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i'll take a traditionally plain looking nurse with good skills over a traditionally pretty one (whatever that is) who has average w/skills; it comes down to who is better at their job, not in the...

  10. Why does this stigma exist in relation to new nurses?

    xtxrn replied to VeraciousRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OK... You're right- it's not all nurses. And yes, we've all been new. Some nurses like teaching students better than others- like with anybody and anything- for some, it's just not something they...

  14. What have you found in your pockets at the end of your shift?

    xtxrn replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    I had a maintenance guy come to my office when I was teaching CNA classes, and ask me if I needed any dentures to teach the classes how to take care of them.... OK, sure- I'm game :) I asked where...

    xtxrn replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

  19. Job posting- "Must not be overweight"

    xtxrn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    No fire :) But, it's not always as easy as just losing it ASAP. Yes, diet and activity changes are needed- but there are situations where just losing it is incredibly difficult if not downright...

  21. Job posting- "Must not be overweight"

    xtxrn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a kid, I babysat for a flight attendant (back when they were "stewardesses") and she'd tell me about that. It's not about aesthetics if the plane can't get off the runway

    xtxrn replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked ICU, but have floated to Neuro ICU, Pedi ICU, Cardiac ICU, and NICU over the years. The nurses I worked with when I floated were cordial- but not overly friendly- but boy did they...
