sha boing BOING!

What?! You said you wanted something to knock you out.

20-22/hour at Providence for a new grad.

this is absolutely horrible advice. i have worked in a number of technical arenas from information technology to nursing to engineering etc. it is never okay to write in 1st person! not only does it make the writer sound like an idiot, but it exposes the author to legal issues. i have never ever seen a chart written in 1st person, and the fact that you called me out on my comment really gets under my skin because it's obvious that you don't have the slightest clue of what you are talking about. "i think it's because nurses were nuns" what a load of crap.

more smarter?

Mainly because we observe the patient from a third person perspective. Luckily for you, I minored in english so I will give some insight. First person is generally reserved for informal writing. When writing in a professional context, third person is preferred because it removes (you) from the picture and places emphasis on the subject. The sentence is written better when emphasis is placed on the subject, rather than shared between the subject and the pronoun.

No need for all those tears. I guarantee it is going to happen again. Just calm down.

Everybody walks on egg shells. Even the patients tremble when they reach for the call light. It's great. Of course I'm just kidding, but for some reason I'm in a great mood tonight. It must be the mountain dew.

I think the biggest problem facing nursing as a profession is a lack of empathy by many. I see some nurses who are like robots with patient care, and simply want a paycheck. They got into the field for the wrong reason. It would be absurd for somebody to suggest this isn't for you. You do have to maintain your professionalism, but I guarantee your experiences will make you a stronger nurse. Good Luck

Why wouldn't they have done an lp in this scenario? Makes absolutely no sense to me. I'm gonna agree with the others on herniation.

Even though I probably would have flipped my lid over this childish kindergarten BS, children, or those who act like children do this to get a rise out of people. The best thing you could do is pretend like it didn't bother you. If that doesn't work, plant some drugs on them and tell their supervisor they stole from the med cart. They will be out of your hair. :rotfl:

Yeah, but she is a nurse, and she did it anyway. If I understood the original posting correctly she did it with a prescription for percocet (A better, more effective drug) in her hand. I mean she could have avoided all of this at the drive up Walgreens. I don't care what anybody says about no insurance or single mother or whatever. She has a responsibility to act morally in a health care setting and with health care products. She dug herself into this mess and doesn't need anybody to hold her hand because what she did was wrong.

Don't think I can give you any sympathy here. This was a stupid mistake, and the object is to learn from it. The lesson here is NEVER!! take prescription meds that are for someone else. I would honestly be shocked if the hospital hired you.

God this made my blood pressure go up. Stupid, arrogant, &*$&%($(**&Y$&&*%*(&$&$#^(^&^(@%&^# residents that think they know EVERY &^*&Y*^&%% thing. UGH You did an awesome job. Way to go to bat.

This a probably a bad attempt at some humor.
