  1. Student Clickers?

    mofomeat replied to arbor-vitae's topic in General Students

    I first thought this was about using dog training tools on

  2. Things you wish you knew as a new RN

    mofomeat posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi folks... For both new grads and seasoned nurses, what are some things about the day-to-day job you wish you knew when you first started? How about things that you wish you knew better? And for...

  3. Things you wish you knew as a new RN

    mofomeat replied to mofomeat's topic in General Nursing

    I thought so! There are some great comments here, but I hoped it would be more popular. Folks must be

  4. Things you wish you knew as a new RN

    mofomeat replied to mofomeat's topic in General Nursing

    Great comments everyone. I ask these questions because I hope to be a better new grad

  5. Nobody told me that after graduation...

    mofomeat replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same way. It was certainly deflating to come across this site and discover the 'truth'. However, it is best to know. I know this is the Internet and one should take it with a kilobyte of...

  6. How do ya'll wear your hair? can you have bangs?

    mofomeat replied to Reckless96's topic in General Nursing

    Interjections about visiting a local barber and acquiring suitable employment in

    mofomeat replied to Reckless96's topic in General Nursing

    Cheeky!

  8. Do You judge and treat patients differently depending on who they are ?

    mofomeat replied to star.crush's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I like this statement as well. I feel that you can feel what you want to feel, but don't let it show and don't let it affect the level of care you give. If you can't do that (within reason) you...

  9. Do You judge and treat patients differently depending on who they are ?

    mofomeat replied to star.crush's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In that case you also get a free pair of

  10. Do You judge and treat patients differently depending on who they are ?

    mofomeat replied to star.crush's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I certainly agree with you about gloves, however... The nurse there had gloves on, and she was still very visibly grossed out. She made faces, made noises kind of like a guttural "ewww" and whatnot....

  11. How do nursing schools react to alternative faiths?

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

    My take on this: 1) Have all the religious or socioeconomic or political beliefs you want. 2) Understand that other people are different and may have a different view 3) Don't rub your beliefs in...

  12. Do You judge and treat patients differently depending on who they are ?

    mofomeat replied to star.crush's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I really hope I don't. When I was a teenager I accompanied my father to his VA Hospital. There were lots of ex-soldiers there, all of them in different states of both...

  13. Nobody told me that after graduation...

    mofomeat replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    In the OP's defense, the whole "shortage! shortage!" thing is still being trumpeted everywhere you look. Schools, the media, Dept. of Labor, etc. You really have to dig hard and/or go to a hospital...

  14. Nobody told me that after graduation...

    mofomeat replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the clarification. In retrospect, I was a bit out of line to make that assumption. I'm occasionally told I don't 'belong' in Nursing because of my gender, so perhaps I let some of my...

  15. Here's why you don't want this job.

    mofomeat replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. My first guess is that they are required to post an opening publicly, but they already have someone internally that they will hire for the position. Therefore, any interviews they have with...

  16. Who loves their job?

    mofomeat replied to solneeshka's topic in General Nursing

    I totes love my job! Except, I'm not a nurse

  17. Nobody told me that after graduation...

    mofomeat replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear this, but yes this is the reality. I sense a tad of prejudice

  18. Nurses: Have you ever had to show compassion to someone who didn't want it?

    mofomeat replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess something else to be said about the 'delivery' of compassion... Sometimes if you seem like you are trying 'too hard' to help someone who doesn't want it, it can make them very uncomfortable....

  19. Mental Health Nursing Myth?

    mofomeat replied to cha0tic's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard a bunch of times that once you work in mental health you go a little 'off' yourself. So who knows? BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITA

  20. How do ya'll wear your hair? can you have bangs?

    mofomeat replied to Reckless96's topic in General Nursing

    If you go long enough and attach lead fishing weights to the ends of it, you won't even have to wear scrubs or clothing of any

  21. Efficiency of the VA system

    mofomeat replied to Asystole RN's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, of all the probable venues in Nursing, I feel most drawn to a VA Hospital. Surely I'm a glutton for punishment. Nothing like taking all the bureaucracy of a hospital and entertangling it with...

  22. Things you wish you knew as a new RN

    mofomeat replied to mofomeat's topic in General Nursing

    I just learned this lesson recently. I'm on my feet all day in my current job for 10 hours, and it started getting where 10 was tough without a rest. Then 8, then 6. Losing weight didn't help as...

  23. 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

    As many have said, it is the comfort of the patient that matters most. I can see how someone being uncomfortable might make them withhold symptoms or not mention a specific problem in a specific...

  24. "No nurses of color....."

    mofomeat replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread, unsettling as it may be, reminds me of another thread some months ago: "we don't hire male nurses in this

  25. The Mockery of Nursing

    mofomeat replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    FarmTown? Like FarmVille, but on paper? Kinda like how we played World of Warcraft when I was a kid, except it was on paper and using dice, and we called it Dungeons and Dragons?
