    flying_ace2 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

  5. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    flying_ace2 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. 0200 BP's - Dealing with Tired Rude Doctors

    flying_ace2 replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nail, meet head. I'm only 32 years old, but I see that coddled, "special snowflake" attitude in SO many people just a few years younger than me (and in some older people too!). How in God's name...

  7. When should nursing homes be allowed to evict residents?

    flying_ace2 replied to Emergent's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  8. Obesity; The "Second Hand Smoke" of Modern American Society

    flying_ace2 replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Off topic, but all the advertising, and the sensationalism, and the constant, unwavering national paranoia and negativity were the main reasons we ditched our cable, got a Roku, and stopped watching...

  9. When a pt "gets" to you

    flying_ace2 replied to mmc51264's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Never had that happen with a patient, but sometimes something will make me think of my dad, or remind me of him, and it catches me completely off guard. I'm so sorry this happened to

    flying_ace2 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Ixchel I hope you are in the clear!!! Keeping my fingers crossed..... This week I learned: 1. My company apparently has enough confidence in my abilities that they've requested I be on a special...

  11. Is LinkedIn Necessary?

    flying_ace2 replied to bete-noire's topic in General Nursing

    I started my LinkedIn account after I'd already left the hospital, and I've received several messages from headhunters in the pharmaceutical industry. I'm happy where I am now and don't plan to move...

    flying_ace2 replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing this - your life is my goal. My husband and I are currently following Dave Ramsey's total money makeover, will have ALL our debt paid off within the next 1.5 years, and then...

  13. Cutting

    flying_ace2 replied to ruralSchoolRN's topic in School

    I absolutely agree, my comments were only drawn from my personal experience. I absolutely think that anyone who self-injures needs to be screen for suicidal ideation, and appropriate steps 100% need...

  14. Cutting

    flying_ace2 replied to ruralSchoolRN's topic in School

    I wrote a response to this thread, but then I realized that I have written the equivalent of an article. Maybe I'll just submit it as such, with it's 1370 words telling my story. This really hit a...

  15. Self defense and protection in a hospital.

    flying_ace2 replied to Ruger8mm's topic in General Nursing

    Coming into this late, but I absolutely agree with

  16. "I would never want you as my nurse!"

    flying_ace2 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well you know, one's not a true, competent, or caring nurse unless one is willing to sacrifice themselves upon the altar of Florence

  19. Do I have to be an RN to be a Medical Writer?

    flying_ace2 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in General Nursing

    This is the career path I'm pursuing as well. I already work in the pharmaceutical industry and I'd like to stay in it, so, for me, medical writing can mean research grant proposals/requests,...

  20. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    flying_ace2 replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Uh, that would be the hospital I used to work for, which was part of a hospital system in the southeast that was internationally recognized and praised for how "amazing" they were (worst place I've...

  21. Social issues regarding RN to BSN?

    flying_ace2 replied to Linzie0406's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The only "social issue" I had while pursuing my BSN was........that I had no social life during the program. I have no idea what other kinds of social issues you might be referring

  22. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    flying_ace2 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think working nights is an absolute, 100%-it'll-happen thing that all new grad nurses should expect. HOWEVER, as a new grad nurse, applying to jobs in a hospital where the work is 24/7, 365...

  23. Nurses: How far is your commute?

    flying_ace2 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    About 4 miles, 10-15 minutes depending on whether I catch the traffic lights. Mon-Fri 10a-6p. I can understand why some people commute, sometimes an hour or more each way, but that's not something...

  24. Nursing is a passion?

    flying_ace2 replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Gonna echo what so many others have said - nursing is not a passion for me, and it is not a calling for me either. It is simply a well paying job that allows me the flexibility and financial means to...

  25. I want to quit nursing.

    flying_ace2 replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    HA meeeee too, or maybe tasting beer for a living!! Seriously though, I don't think you're too sensitive or that you can't do it. I think you need to see if you can stick it out for a year in...
