  1. Needle stick while 31 weeks pregnant. Pt is intermediate + hep C

    mofomeat replied to BEBE1MEE's topic in General Nursing

    No experience, myself. But I hope for all the best for you. Try not to stress out too much until that second round in 6 weeks. You have a 97% chance of being completely fine. That's significant....

  2. Flying juices

    mofomeat replied to mpink74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sucks. I wouldn't have hesitated to help. That's how I am, and as far as I can see we're all on the same ship. Or I'd like to think

  3. So we want to be respected as educated professionals?

    mofomeat replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    The assignment was for each of us to write a short (1-2 page paper) on a "social event" that we attended or participated in. The previously mentioned student wrote about a local football game she...

  4. So we want to be respected as educated professionals?

    mofomeat replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Allow me to share a tidbit of a fellow student's contributions to a group project we were doing in Sociology last year: "We might of maid it if we could of drove to the stadiem right away but the...

  5. Flying juices

    mofomeat replied to mpink74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Obviously the issue is to NOT make the patient feel any worse than they already do. Just today, a co-worker was telling me about his ER experience after an automobile accident. He barfed on the nurse...

  6. So we want to be respected as educated professionals?

    mofomeat replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    I presume you dislike my usage of "The R-Word"? Maybe I shouldn't have used it, as I know it is central to various debates. My apologies if it bothers you. At the same time, my feelings don't

  7. This transporter looks as if he wants to punch me everytime I see him and Im scared

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

    How about asking him nicely, "Is something bothering you? Maybe I can help." Some people just look pissed off all the time even if they're not (I'm one of them). Or he may be genuinely pissed off...

  8. So we want to be respected as educated professionals?

    mofomeat replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to dredge this thread, but it is a subject that I hold quite dearly. My spelling and grammar isn't perfect either, and I don't expect everyone else to be perfect. I am annoyed by "textspeak"...

  9. Flying juices

    mofomeat replied to mpink74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does this actually happen? Is it brash of me to say that they don't belong in Nursing if they are grossed out by bodily fluids? Are they really grossed out, or are they just dumping the '**** work'...

  10. Do you ever have doubts?

    mofomeat replied to Jack245's topic in General Students

    I haven't gotten as far as you yet, I'm still in the prereqs at the moment. But I grapple with this feeling probably at least once per semester. It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I'm not...

  11. Flying juices

    mofomeat replied to mpink74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see you've never had dogs before, either. My biggest fear of being vomited on or seeing someone's vomit is that for some odd reason, I find barfing to be hilarious. If someone gakks up on me I...

  12. Prerequs for the prerequs :-(

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

    My story is similar. I'm an old fogey (37) returning to school for this. I knew I didn't have the math skills so I made no attempt to test out of algebra. I knew I really needed to take the class....

  13. The failed doctor stereotype

    mofomeat posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm sure we've all heard the negative stereotype of "male nurses are just failed doctors", or something similar. It's pretty inaccurate as a blanket statement, of course - most male nurses I've ever...

  14. Doc Wannabe?

    mofomeat replied to nursemike's topic in Men in Nursing

    Ah, I see. p.s., we are mostly the same age. It is an interesting experience in school when you could technically have children the age of most of your classmates,

  15. Older and inexperienced

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

    How old is

  16. Learning and Retention

    mofomeat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in A&P right now. I love the class, it is very fascinating :) I'm doing pretty well and keeping up, but there is something that's kinda bugging me. As you all know, A&P (and I'll bet...

  17. Inspired

    mofomeat replied to nowayis's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm still a student and I have yet to cut my teeth on anything practical. However, throughout this entire journey I see myself ending up in a psych ward or a VA Hospital. I'm drawn to help those that...

  18. How long did it take you to complete your prerequisites?

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

    I'm also a mid-adult (37) going back to school. I'm actually on my 3rd year of prereqs. I flunked the math portion of the COMPASS so I had to take some bonehead algebra classes. So I'm starting at...

  19. Absolutely incompetent...not so sure "it gets better".

    mofomeat replied to opossum's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I could offer some experiences and observations in my management experience outside of nursing, in regards to this question. However, whenever I bring this up it immediately strikes many

  20. Is there a nursing shortage?

    mofomeat replied to JosefVernon Hodgkins's topic in Men in Nursing

    Have you considered relocation? I'm not a nurse yet, but I left Oregon because of its rampant unemployment about a decade ago. Oregon is beautiful, my family is there, I grew up there and it's...

  21. Learning and Retention

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

    I've actually got 3 teachers for A&P They each trade off lecture, and rotate labs. Two of them are great, one is so-so. (one of them is pretty and wicked smart, so I have a minor crush on her,...

  22. "Fired for NO Reason"

    mofomeat replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Golly gosh I hope not. I don't know if you've noticed, but I've seen a LOT of threads here where very well meaning new nurses that are trying really hard to be good and successful still make a...

  23. "Fired for NO Reason"

    mofomeat replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I only read the first page of this thread, sorry. I'm in school right now, and fwiw, there are SO MANY students there that I believe will turn out just like the NG the OP talked about. I see a lot of...

  24. nurse burnout

    mofomeat replied to mntcra's topic in General Nursing

    Is it the actual practice of nursing you don't like, or is it the employer you don't

  25. Doc Wannabe?

    mofomeat replied to nursemike's topic in Men in Nursing

    I missed that one.
