  2. Nurses with self harm scars

    flying_ace2 replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    The first part is absolutely true. The second part literally made me snort hot coffee outta my nose and onto my keyboard. Thanks a

  3. The effects of not reporting harassment

    flying_ace2 replied to Funkymiss187's topic in General Nursing

    This, absolutely this!!!! I would absolutely report that jerk for treating the PATIENT in such a manner, and then I'd follow up with his clear abuse of the nursing staff. Hostile work environment...

  4. Nurses with self harm scars

    flying_ace2 replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    It is absolutely, 100% not as easy as just stopping. I am speaking from experience as a person who has struggled with this issue in the past. The only - only - thing that has helped, for me, was to...

  5. Why Nursing Sucks...

    flying_ace2 replied to pixiern15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    " Roscoe noted, though, that even high-quality facilities with impeccable clinical care often generate "negative brand loyalty" by failing to communicate effectively and empathetically with patients...

  6. Why Nursing Sucks...

    flying_ace2 replied to pixiern15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This sounds like the IDEAL situation!!! I can't wait to get a year in with my current company, then I'll have that work from home option. I fully intend to embrace my inner hermit and never, ever...

  7. Why Nursing Sucks...

    flying_ace2 replied to pixiern15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I completely agree with those that have said it's not nursing that sucks, it's the working conditions. I am a "second career" nurse and left the bedside after a year and three months - there is no...

  8. Has anybody here worked with Dr. Carson?

    flying_ace2 replied to Lauren_beta's topic in General Nursing

    Never worked with him - personally I get the feeling like he'd be a psychopath in the OR. I agree with the gut feeling

  9. The sloppy image of nurses today

    flying_ace2 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    LOL I know what you mean!!! I used to roll into work in my sweatpants, hoodie, no makeup on and hair already under my scrub cap. The worst was getting scrubs from the hospital laundry with all the...

  10. The sloppy image of nurses today

    flying_ace2 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That episode FREAKED me out!!!!! Oh, and by the way, I don't know if it's possible for me to care less about the fact that I didn't wear makeup in the

  11. Stuck between two job offers

    flying_ace2 replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    If it was me, I'd go straight into the ICU. That's the specialty you want in a hospital you're already familiar with. Yes the orientation is shorter, but if you are already acclimated to the...

  12. Questions and feelings on nursing

    flying_ace2 replied to jenna1394's topic in General Nursing

    1. I took an accelerated second degree program at 29 years old. It was full time for 2 years, including summers, and it was the hardest thing I have EVER done in my life. It was certainly doable,...

  13. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

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

    You can always do what I did, so as not to get pi$$ed off every time some idiot puts something on Facebook - defriend EVERYBODY except for your family and the closest actual friends you have. By...

  14. Who worked New Years? How was your shift?

    flying_ace2 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    I'm working today, but the day's half over already and I didn't have to come in until 10 this morning. So still got to enjoy New Year's Eve a little bit and come to work today to get my double time...

  15. have any of you left nursing

    flying_ace2 replied to StillRN's topic in General Nursing

    I left the OR in September for a job in the pharmaceutical industry. Much less stress, much more money, much better schedule, much better quality of

  16. Personal Guidance

    flying_ace2 replied to anonymous2626's topic in General Nursing

    Please do!!! I've never seen that line

  17. Would you hire an MUSC grad over anyone else?

    flying_ace2 replied to lowkey_44's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of this school before. It's been my experience in life that nobody, NOBODY, cares where you went to school. Only if you're qualified and can do the job competently (this applies to...

  19. Home care RN looking for new job options that aren't bedside

    flying_ace2 replied to NetaSo's topic in General Nursing

    I only had a year and four months of acute care experience before moving into pharmaceutical research. I work in an office, 8 hours a day, and never take work home with me. After a year of service,...

  20. Someone stole my shoes (somewhat of a rant)

    flying_ace2 replied to ducky2000's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, if they're a jerk enough to steal your shoes, they deserve what's coming to

  21. How was your first code blue? What role did you have?

    flying_ace2 replied to journey2success's topic in General Nursing

    The first one I had was also in nursing school during my preceptorship on a hospital rehab unit. It was a young 40-something mother who was there recovering from an ischemic stroke. She vagaled down...

  22. I think I've had enough

    flying_ace2 replied to LightMyFire's topic in General Nursing

    I did, and life has been so much better since leaving and starting in my new job. I hope that you have the same experience, because you're absolutely right - life is too short to be

  23. I don't like pediatric patients, am I normal?

    flying_ace2 replied to Wonder RN's topic in General Nursing

    ..........I literally just LOL'ed at this at work and now my coworkers think I'm nuts. This is hilarious - I sure as hell didn't cry when I witnessed my first birth in nursing school. It was a...

  24. I don't like pediatric patients, am I normal?

    flying_ace2 replied to Wonder RN's topic in General Nursing

    I want NOTHING to do with any of these three areas of nursing - God bless those of you that deal with it! It's not for me at

  25. Plantar fasciitis, just curious have you had it?

    flying_ace2 replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    I experienced it for the first time when I was working 12 hour shifts in the OR and running on my days off. I got custom inserts made and switched shoes. I also left my job for a desk job (not for...
