  1. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    Raviepoo replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I learned that you can't help someone who insists on being a

  2. Hospice bootcamp - Is there such a thing?

    Raviepoo posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm fairly new as a hospice case manager and I keep finding myself in situations where I have to rely on the more experienced case managers for help. I know that it will take some time for me to...

  3. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    Raviepoo replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Welcome to the real world, where what you believe doesn't matter one bit. Your instructors are not your peers. They are real, human, fallible people with enormous power over the course of your life....

  4. Calling yourself an RN

    Raviepoo replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They are harming the entire profession by making that false

  5. Calling yourself an RN

    Raviepoo replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That offends me. I worked VERY hard to be able to call myself an RN. Ours is the most trusted profession in the United States and she is undermining it by

  6. Esme Needs Your Prayers

    Raviepoo replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you a complete recovery

  7. Remaining professional with rude, disrespectful family members

    Raviepoo replied to litbitblack's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm pretty sure I would not have treated her as well as you did. If anyone ever talked to me that way i would probably just say, "No Ma'am. I don't understand. Perhaps you can explain why you think...

  8. Former vet tech thinking about becoming an RN

    Raviepoo replied to RVTtoRNmaybe's topic in General Nursing

    There are more rural areas in the United States then cities, although the cities are more populous. I don't regret becoming a nurse. Definitely stay at that hospital as a CNA. You will have an...

  9. Unfrickenbelievable!

    Raviepoo replied to pedinurse003's topic in Private Duty

    This makes me really sad. That nurse seems to have benefited from her dishonesty. The penalty was a slap on the wrist compared to her theft. She got away with it. I'm less interested in "Can you do...

  10. Unfrickenbelievable!

    Raviepoo replied to pedinurse003's topic in Private Duty

    Isn't that medicaid fraud? Can't it get a nurse banned from ever working for an organization that takes government

  11. To tell or not to tell!

    Raviepoo replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Leave. It sounds like it's not a good environment for you to be in. It's doubtful that one person can change the existing culture. Leave and find a place with a culture that doesn't give you the...

  12. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    Raviepoo replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    That generalization is a fantasy that C students use to help themselves feel better about their grades. Students who have no compassion don't make good nurses. Students who like to avoid work don't...

  13. Is anyone else starting NURS 4510 March 23?

    Raviepoo posted a topic in Ohio University

    I'm starting tomorrow and I'm nervous as all get-out. Is anyone else in my

  14. Help me with compassion fatigue

    Raviepoo replied to Raviepoo's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wrote my original post after a pretty bad shift. The next day I made a point of planning those requests for prns into my shift. It went much better. I think I will survive. Thanks to everyone who...

  15. Help me with compassion fatigue

    Raviepoo replied to Raviepoo's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Um, actually, that happened to me a few years ago. I still have pain, but I have a high tolerance and take nothing for it. I'm not talking about those

  16. When should I start a family?

    Raviepoo replied to nyc2011's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    After your mid 20s your fertility drops precipitously. My gynecologist recommended that I get pregnant by the age of 30 at the very latest. I didn't and I went through menopause before I hit 40....

  17. I want to be an RN, but I am getting divorced, single mom and need to work right away.HELP

    Raviepoo replied to annaliz04's topic in General Nursing

    There was a single mother of 5 in my LPN program. It took her years to get through, but she stuck with it and succeeded. I became an LPN before RN school because I needed an income. I learned a ton...

  18. I think I failed Nclex in 75 questions

    Raviepoo replied to RN_Dreams's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was 100% certain that I failed with 75 questions. I felt like I knew nothing during the test. I passed. Stay calm. From the results of your PVT I think you probably

  19. Code Lavender?!

    Raviepoo replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    If they had that at the place where I work, the code lavender team would have to call code lavenders on THEMSELVES. They would be completely stressed-out from responding to so many

  20. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    Raviepoo replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. That is exactly what I want. It's a little thing called

  21. Should I quit nursing school?

    Raviepoo replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    That about sums it

  22. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    Raviepoo replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    She showed you a great deal of disrespect. You don't have to return it. You also don't have to listen to her. If she broaches the subject again tell her you don't want to talk about religion with...

  23. why do nurses need to be licensed?

    Raviepoo replied to Infofreak411's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nurses have to be licensed because their mistakes can kill people. The licensing boards protect the public from nurses who are not

  24. Should I quit nursing school?

    Raviepoo replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    Mara.bug: Based on your description I strongly suspect you are attending the same school I attended. (Not that it matters one bit.) You are young. You have only started to explore your identity....

  25. Huge over supply of nurses

    Raviepoo replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from the same school and my first job paid me 26$/hour (with differential.) I suspect you were just looking on the wrong side of the river. There are plenty of LPN jobs just a few miles...
