  1. social media problem

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you're probably right. I suspect I just had a reaction and there's not much to worry

  2. social media problem

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ahh. That's

  3. social media problem

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For the record, I would never post anything about my job on social

  4. social media problem

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly! It's gotten to the point where everyone wants to throw a tantrum over something, and you know if it were a real life conversation they'd be embarrassed of themselves. I'm down to just family...

  5. social media problem

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks guys. I was really taken aback at this person's response too. Scary to think how a person you consider an acquaintance would lash out at you like that. I really doubt the person will follow...

  6. What make-or-break things get you hired

    Fruit Sucker replied to Miewn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe worry about getting better grades instead of being in such a hurry to finish. BSN programs in NYC will not take that GPA. I'm not even sure that the CCs like BMCC will take it. You've got your...

  7. Even In Nursing, Men Earn More Than Women

    Fruit Sucker replied to Not Your Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I find this interesting based on the number of men who cry discrimination/sexism in nursing. There was a thread on here not too long ago about how "unfair" it is that there are fewer men in

  8. Dreadlocks

    Fruit Sucker replied to PauperRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    White people don't have dreads. They have dirty rats' nests. If you have to go without washing and put a ton of wax in your hair, that's not a hygienic hairstyle. I've seen plenty of people of color...

  9. accessing portacaths

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can someone recommend a video tutorial? One that gets all the steps

  10. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    Fruit Sucker replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Do you want him to pass the program? Maybe you could think about the fact that he's doing this to make more money for the family instead of acting like it's something special he's doing for himself....

  11. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    Fruit Sucker replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I read a study recently that suggested we have a finite amount of willpower, and that when one area of our lives demands a lot of willpower, we tend not to exercise it in a different area. It sounds...

  12. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    Fruit Sucker replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Well, I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's a combination. As far as personal experience, I have four siblings who range from overweight to morbidly obese. The most I've ever weighed in my life is...

  15. doctor's office gripe

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Indeed. I'm kind of partial to NPs. I used to see a really good one and he moved to greener

  16. Are you encouraging other XYs to pursue nursing?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Zyrv's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You raise some very good points about stereotyping...this is along the same lines of the stereotype that men aren't supposed to be emotional or cry or be sensitive, which in my opinion is very...

  17. if you graduated in the last 5 years

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you graduated in the last 5 years, how long did it take you to find a

  18. do you wash your hair every day?

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    So this is a bit personal, but do you wash your hair every day after work? I can't help feeling like I have bacteria in my hair when I've been at the hospital, even though I avoid touching it. My hair...

  19. Are you encouraging other XYs to pursue nursing?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Zyrv's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes, that is the difference- nobody is hindering men from entering the field of nursing. In large part, the reason more men aren't interested is because it's seen as "women's work" and is therefore...

  20. Most annoying reason for admission?

    Fruit Sucker replied to HakunaMatata<3's topic in General Nursing

  21. Statistics and Microbiology

    Fruit Sucker replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me, micro was easier than A&P, but more boring. Stats is not hard either, just time consuming. You should be fine taking both if you put in the study

  22. if you graduated in the last 5 years

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    Great responses

  23. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    Fruit Sucker replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone likes to laugh at my saying "chewing gum" (I'm a southerner living in New York City) instead of just "gum". My explanation is that there's chewing gum and bubble gum, and they're not the same...

  24. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    Fruit Sucker replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    "Furnigan" instead of Phenergan. "MeTROPolol" instead of metoprolol. "Goblin" instead of globulin. Not so much a mispronunciation, but I hate it when people say lady parts when they mean vulva. In...

  25. Chest hair

    Fruit Sucker replied to Ninjateagan's topic in Men in Nursing

    Chest pubes=:nojustnoface: If you want to be that guy with a bunch of overgrown body hair, don't make everyone else look at
