  1. How to resolve a conflict?

    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 that person, what you would say and your next ste...
  2. New grads who are being bullied by experienced nurses

    (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 question...do NP's have issues with bullies as we...
  3. Tons of student loans, pursue DNP still?

    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, but it is definately something that is worth sacri...
  4. Do new graduates really get a job that easily in nursing?

    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, and contradictory to what I have been hearing so ...
  5. Things I noticed as a patient...

    And a doctor (or atleast most) wouldn't take heed of your opinion not because it was invalid, but because they have superiority issues.
  6. Things I noticed as a patient...

    I was referring mainly to the issue of washing hands....I didn't realize I had to be a graduated RN with five years of experience to understand basic hygiene issues and how they relate to transfer of microorganisms! My bad, I must have lost my mind ...
  7. Things I noticed as a patient...

    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 opinion". I have seen and heard the use of the "real...
  8. Things I noticed as a patient...

    There is so much wrong with this I couldn't pass on it...!
  9. RN Who Wants To Become A Paramedic???

    You will love it, there is so much more autonomy than with floor nursing. It's more exciting than the ER and the comradery is way better among your co-workers.
  10. Are nurses blue or white collar workers?

    Grey-collar refers to the balance of employed people not classified as white- or blue collar. Although grey-collar is sometimes used to describe those who work beyond the age of retirement, it is also used to refer to occupations that incorporate som...
  11. Honesty

    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 live a mile down the road, I want to know what it's...
  12. Hero's, the lot of ya, I tip my hat :bowingpur
  13. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    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 see multiple doctors in a day and have no clue who t...
  14. I wont let you get to me!

    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 when I try....put up with anyones attitude. I wo...
  15. suture left in?

    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 sutures do you know?
  16. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

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

    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? Defined as "the state of being responsible for somethin...
  18. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    But redhead you will not be treating the pt's condition as a dr/practitioner so what does your doctorate matter in this case?
  19. Getting a C in Nursing

    My GPA has fallen from a 4.0 to a 3.58, and I have been getting B's in my nursing courses and A's in my one extra class I take each semester (2 semesters). I am hoping it doesn't fall much more lol because I am hoping to go on to a graduate program ...
  20. Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...

    That would probably be something like where a person posts thing on Facebook or otherwise puts info out there against you that you can show the judge in court. You can't just say, "Hey, so and so said she was saying bad things about me at work." It...
  21. Canceled contract

    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 be fired for such a small thing after having what...
  22. New Grad with recent DUI; denied licensure

    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 been able to get you with public intox but you als...
  23. 3 Months until NS starts.. What should i be doing!

    Do nothing! Relax and enjoy your summer because when school starts you will be studying like you never have before, so enjoy your quite time while you can. Congrats!
  24. Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

    "5. never get your honey, where you get your money" i looooove this, hilarious! :bowingpur
  25. Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

    I live in the bible belt and everyone of my male classmates have been kicked out of a male pt's room atleast once because the pt doesn't want a "insert derogatory slur here" to do their care, because to them, a male would only become a nurse if he we...
