    Nursing students on medication

    uRNmyway replied to kjnsweets's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Bravo countrymomma! Hope your son is doing well! Now I'm off to sit in fear that some self-righteous nursing student is going to report me to my BON because I can't function on my shift without a cup...

    Does Preferring to Work Night Shift mean you're lazy?

    uRNmyway replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How often does management allow day shift to work without ancillary staff? Working full patient load, no help, admissions and all...I don't call that lazy. And seriously, to anyone who says night...

    Nursing students on medication

    uRNmyway replied to kjnsweets's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    No, we are 'beating you up' for making possibly unfair assumptions about another student. First off, you should maybe review some pharmacology. What exactly does Adderal do? Does it alter your...

    how to work in montreal as an PAB/nurse aid

    uRNmyway replied to crazedemz's topic in Canada

    Fiona, as much as the rest of Canada resents the use of Quebec as a back door to PR status, believe me, as a French Canadian born and raised in Quebec, it drives me pretty crazy too. I don't think...

    Help! Cgfns ces documents still waiting to be recieved :(

    uRNmyway replied to GodmademeRN's topic in Nurse Registration

    Yes, my first application expired due to them taking too long verifying my documents. I had to pay to get my application re-opened. That's why you have to call them, not email. And take down names...

    Nursing Interventions for drug seekers in the ED

    uRNmyway replied to LiamBear's topic in Emergency

    I'll agree to a certain extent. Not my place to judge, but if you claim to have 20/10 pain, your BP is tanking, or sats, or you are trying to grab those non-existent bugs in front of your face, I'm...

    Canadian Nurses Traveling in U.S.

    uRNmyway replied to jenn8500's topic in International Nursing

    I noticed you tried to PM me, I cleared up a spot in my inbox. I'm afraid I don't really have much to offer in this situation though. I have been stationary in one state since I came to the USA. I...

    Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    uRNmyway replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    Nobody said it wasn't a problem. We just agreed that it happens and your situation was not isolated. The best way to fight it is one case at a time. If you feel targeted, start documenting from the...

    Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    uRNmyway replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    It is ridiculous because it is obvious. If someone actually is kicked out of a program due to their gender, it is not right. It didn't warrant being addressed because it was, to me at least, sort of...

    Stop it!

    uRNmyway replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Stop walking all over me. Yes, I'm a team player. But that doesn't mean I'm a push-over. Push a little too far, and one of these days, you'll also find out I have a pretty nasty temper, and I don't...

    Atheism in nursing

    uRNmyway replied to pugmom79's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I kind of go between believer and agnostic, probably dozens of times per day, some days. However, working in the bible belt, I can't really talk about it with colleagues. So on the few times where...

    Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    uRNmyway replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    The fact that no one argued the statement about a female being kicked out of med school for being female didn't imply we thought it was ok, it implied the statement was too ridiculous and irrelevant...

    uRNmyway replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    Holy good God. A part of me was really identifying with you OP from having issues with unfair instructors myself. To answer your original question, yes, some instructors are unfair and arbitrarily...

    Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    uRNmyway replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    Eh, I wouldn't go so far as to say it can't be arbitrary. Without going into details, I had a clinical instructor in nursing school who just picked one student every rotation that she was going to...

    Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    uRNmyway replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    See, I absolutely believe in rooming in, but I'd be the first to go get a crying baby if mom was alone, exhausted, with no support. Get this. The nurse where I delivered barely came to my room at...

    Yep, totally agree. I think we should hold an AN Olympic event somewhere. Would LOVE to meet you guys. Might cause some box-wine shortage (or maybe those diabetic-coma-in-a-glass things, those sounded...
