  1. How to resolve a conflict?

    PetsToPeople replied to kameera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with the other two posters and never just answer an interview question with one sentence! Tell them you would first speak with the person involved in the confrontation, how you would speak to...

    PetsToPeople replied to hella_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    (I understand this is a little off the original topic, but everytime I see a post about bullying I wonder about this) I'm curious and I am wondering if their are any NP's on here who could answer this...

  3. Tons of student loans, pursue DNP still?

    PetsToPeople replied to MystyqueOne's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are tuition reimbursement options for NP's working in areas that have need! So you could have your cake and eat it too! When you have kids their is never a "best" time to persue an education,...

  4. Do new graduates really get a job that easily in nursing?

    PetsToPeople replied to Bchung5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just about all of our sophmore class had job offers before they even took the nclex, and we are an ADN program. We are a small town and have several nursing programs in our area so this is good news,...

  5. Things I noticed as a patient...

    PetsToPeople replied to theantichick's topic in General Nursing

    And a doctor (or atleast most) wouldn't take heed of your opinion not because it was invalid, but because they have superiority

  6. Things I noticed as a patient...

    PetsToPeople replied to theantichick's topic in General Nursing

  7. Things I noticed as a patient...

    PetsToPeople replied to theantichick's topic in General Nursing

    And my next favorite pet peeve...when someone can't adequately dispute my reasoning (or that of any other student) then they pull the "your not a real nurse yet card, so you can't possibly have an...

  8. Things I noticed as a patient...

    PetsToPeople replied to theantichick's topic in General Nursing

  9. RN Who Wants To Become A Paramedic???

  11. Honesty

    PetsToPeople replied to BrandybunsRN's topic in General Nursing

    The pt should have taken the responsibility to ask what the appt was for, if it was going to be such an issue. If someone calls me up and says when need to set you up for an appt, I don't care if I...

  12. I am interestered in hearing stories of nurses who assisted in disaster relief

    PetsToPeople replied to SN15671's topic in General Nursing

  13. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    PetsToPeople replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    All hospitals should have this policy. I have seen most doctors not even introduce themselves at all, and it is a simple line. It will clear up a lot of confusion on the part of the pt's, who may...

  14. I wont let you get to me!

    PetsToPeople replied to bbgirlmil's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow, some of the things I read on here...I just don't know how I am going to handle these situations if they happen to me. I have gotten old and cranky and I just will not...cannot for very long even...

    PetsToPeople replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Home Health

    It could be a souce of infection and will cause the hole to remain partially open. The top may scab over but the hole itself will not heal until the remaining suture is removed. Are they dissolvable...

  16. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    PetsToPeople replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  17. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    PetsToPeople replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That's why I wrote "dr/practitioner", and an ANP does treat a pt just as a dr/physician would. And, come on, best you could come up with was "douchy"? And why would the title be a liablity?...

  18. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    PetsToPeople replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    But redhead you will not be treating the pt's condition as a dr/practitioner so what does your doctorate matter in this

  20. Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...

    PetsToPeople replied to HM7380's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  21. Canceled contract

    PetsToPeople replied to dorie43rn's topic in Travel

    What do you mean by who pays you? Are they refusing to pay you for the day you worked? And you said that you did not forget the vitals yet you did not record them? Still, it is crazy that you would...

  22. New Grad with recent DUI; denied licensure

    PetsToPeople replied to nursingnerd25's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    So many people plead guilty because they think it will make things easier, but it doesn't. If what you said was true, that you were on the side of the road, you should have fought it. They may have...
