  1. Being an ugly nurse

    mofomeat posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi folks. My questions in this thread are actually more serious than they'll seem... We've discussed at length here how awesome it is to be a young, hot nurse. Well, how about if you're old and...

  2. Coworker having access to my password and charting

    mofomeat replied to CorinneRN's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who has worked in IT for some time, this seems a bit fishy to me as well. I'm not a nurse yet, so I don't know what sort of system you are using. In general practice a charting system...

  3. How to deal with the old/experienced nurses?!

    mofomeat replied to Anna-s's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You could just become an old/experienced nurse like they are. Then you'd have the same perspective and you'd see it from their

  4. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    mofomeat replied to joselyne's topic in General Students

    Hard work and sacrifice. Heavy emphasis on the

  5. People say the funniest things in school...

    mofomeat replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    (Interrupting the teacher during a discussion about parasites in Microbiology class) "You don't have to worry about triganosis [sic] anymore. It has been completely bred out of modern

  6. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    mofomeat replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Just curious, and I know this has no bearing on anything here... Are the men explicitly forbidden from wearing them? Because I would probably wear one just to be funny and cute. But that's the kind...

  7. Discrimination of Men as nurses?

    mofomeat replied to bonestAx's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is either: 1) a funny coincidence because I too have a hot 22-year old girlfriend, or 2) proof that the ignoramus is actually right, because my girlfriend is 22 and I am shall we say some...

  8. Discrimination of Men as nurses?

    mofomeat replied to bonestAx's topic in Men in Nursing

    The school recruiter seemed as if he (yes, he) was trying to talk me out of going into Nursing when I went in for some advice. He kept saying "I don't know that you'd enjoy it" or "Are you sure...

  9. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    mofomeat replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I hope that this is a myth, because aside from being incredibly painful, I suspect there is a potential for some real soft-tissue injury. Anything from a nasty purple-black bruise to a damaged blood...

  10. The 'what ifs'

    mofomeat posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know this is a pre-nursing rant, but I'm posting it here as I was hoping to get more experienced replies. If this is wrong, I won't be upset if it gets moved. I apologize that it is a bit long....

  11. The 'what ifs'

    mofomeat replied to mofomeat's topic in General Nursing

    After next semester, I can test for a CNA license. I was planning on working or volunteering as a CNA (as a second job) during the time I'm on the waitlist (it averages 2 years at my

  12. New Grad Leaving Hospital for Office Job

    mofomeat replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I was going to ask, "with all the booksmarts and amazing intelligence, why did you choose Nursing and not something like Neuroscience?" If you really want to do health-care related things but not so...

  13. The 'what ifs'

    mofomeat replied to mofomeat's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Susie2310. Your response makes me feel a bit better. Ever other occupation I've ever worked has been something where I'm basically thrown into the fire and it's up to me to figure out how to...

  14. Who do nurses make more than?

    mofomeat replied to Amber215's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to see someone get rude and judgmental, I could give it a whirl. Consider me being 'polite' by stopping

  15. People say the funniest things in school...

    mofomeat replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Ok, three things that I have to share for now. Two are school related, one is not. 1) There is a girl in my Micro class right now. From context clues I gather that she spent one or more summers in...

  16. People say the funniest things in school...

    mofomeat replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Well, there's always the flavored yogurts too. I hear strawberry and chocolate are popular. Maybe tzatziki sauce would work in a

  17. People say the funniest things in school...

    mofomeat replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Ugh... Maybe I'm just a crotchety old man, but if I had any authority over that class I would have ejected her from the program. It's one thing to get that far and be so misinformed, but it's...

  18. What is the one thing that turns your stomach?

    mofomeat replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    I've discussed before that seeing someone vomit, viewing a vomit lake or otherwise knowing of a vomit event illicits entirely the wrong reaction from me- it gives me the giggles. This is much worse...

  19. What is the one thing that turns your stomach?

    mofomeat replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    The difference is that "female circumcision" as it is called is complete removal of the privy parts, with the goal of greatly reducing or eliminating any ability of the woman to obtain sexual...

  20. Squeamish Students?

    mofomeat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a pre-nursing student, currently in a Microbiology class. I like it, and it's great! In one of the labs, we were doing tests on vials of urine to determine if they have or don't have a possible...

  21. If you weren't a nurse, what would you have become?

    mofomeat replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    Whimsically: If I were financially independent, I would become a career student. Realistically: Electrical Engineer, programmer, mechanical engineer. Or put it all together and call it robotics....

  22. Squeamish Students?

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

    Oh another rant! I hear so often the "OH EM GEE, WE GONNA MAKE SO MUCH MUNNYYYYY!!!!!!!111oneoneoneoen. MY SISTER SAYS THAT IN MINNEAPOLIS NEW GRADS ARE GETTING HIRED FOR $75,000 + SIGN ON BONUS AND...

  23. Squeamish Students?

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

    This is actually a weird class, regarding classmates. Not in this lab, but in Lecture there are 4 girls at one table that often admit that they're becoming a nurse so they can find a doctor to marry....

  24. Squeamish Students?

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

    I wouldn't go that far. But I agree with the rest of your comment- The actual program might shake these folks

  25. Being an ugly nurse

    mofomeat replied to mofomeat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow you guys. Thanks for the tsunami of replies. I didn't expect this. I should enunciate that I wasn't feeling depressed nor trying to do a 'woe is me' type post (at least not this time ) I see...
