    Wow. I hope the best for

  2. Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    TheMediaLies replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I made some here and there. And yeah, you feel like a complete moron afterwards , but you suck it up (learn from it) and keep on working. Slowing your row down

  4. Does nursing change you into an angry person?

    TheMediaLies replied to DesireeBeyerGreen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The first 1-5 years after graduating? No. Afterwards you get tired of the bs and go back to school to be an RN where you encounter more

  5. Losing respect for nursing students

    TheMediaLies replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    Ha. Try going to school in the army as a medic or as an LPN. Wait, these students wouldn't even make it past boot camp (8 weeks) let alone enter AIT (Advance Individual Training) to be a medic or an...

  6. How stressful is nursing?

    TheMediaLies replied to AlexisNicole's topic in Nursing Career

    It could be worse. Back then(the 1990s in my experience), the nurse to patient ratio was ludicrous. It wasn't uncommon to have 1 RN take care of 8 patients. Well, in some cases(seldom), that lone RN...

  7. Why so many tattletale nurses?

    TheMediaLies replied to Butterflybee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Definitely. I work with "men" like that. Whatever. 10 more years and as you get older, time flies. I won't miss these clowns when I retire my

  8. Why so many tattletale nurses?

    TheMediaLies replied to Butterflybee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hmmmm....Because hospitals are full of women? Ahh...oh...Now I've done it (lol here comes the Nazi PC police). I'm a dude. It's not in our nature to be gossipy. I'm also a city boy. We have a saying:...

  9. Moving On

    TheMediaLies replied to RN-767's topic in General Nursing

    You won't be the last to quit nursing just right after graduating. I see it all the time @ my hospital. I've worked with bright and young nurses straight from that university or a state college. Once...

  10. Did you keep your nursing books?

    TheMediaLies replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I kept my books(sentimental and nostalgic reasons). I gave them away back in the 1990s

  11. How are you spending your retirement?

    TheMediaLies replied to Grace Oz's topic in Retired Nurses

    10 more years and then I'm moving on to something else . I'll still be too young to retire completely 10 years from now, but I don't plan on being a nurse anymore. I've been taking care of people...

  12. LAZY CNA's!!

    TheMediaLies replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel ya. When I was a CNA back in the 1990s, I did (95% of the times anyway) what I was told by the RNs , managers, MDs, and when I was in the military, by anyone out ranking me. You don't come to...

  13. LAZY CNA's!!

    TheMediaLies replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL. Lazy people are everywhere @ the workplace. From the HBS all the way down through the nurses aides. ROFLMAO. Lazy people, greed, office politics, and so on.

  14. depressed about new ltc job

    TheMediaLies replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You said it caliotter3. I worked LTC along time as a CNA and as an LVN and if you can't hack it in a SNF passing out meds and doing treatments , what makes you think you can get hired by the big bad...

  15. I love my days off

    TheMediaLies replied to beast master RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm off tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday!!!! Best of all, my day went well today prior to clocking off. I'm just going to clean my place, exercise @ the beach (hopefully see some sexy bikini clad...

  16. This transporter looks as if he wants to punch me everytime I see him and Im scared

    TheMediaLies replied to willowRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a stoic and serious look all the time. I'm just a hardened nurse with compassion running on

  17. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    TheMediaLies replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a Ronin healthcare worker for over 20 years in the military, med surg, telemetry, long term, registry, and behind a chair. Never had the urge to take drugs to do my job no matter how...

  18. If you hate being a CNA will you hate being an RN too?

    TheMediaLies replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Too be honest, I liked being a CNA compared to being licensed when I was in my 20s. Yeah, you work hard answering call lights, cleaning up pts, bed baths, emptying foleys/urinals, stocking up, vitals,...

  19. What you love/hate about your assistants

    TheMediaLies replied to jwkwildland's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in nursing too long to even

  20. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    TheMediaLies replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    Back in the 1990s I'd say because we were caring and crazy at the same time for getting into nursing. We didn't have the nursing/patient ratios back then and WE WENT ON STRIKE ALL THE TIME TRYING TO...

  21. My take on how the nursing profession is going...

    TheMediaLies replied to I Am ReadyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a bubble waiting to happen. Just like the Dot Com days and housing. I remember back in the 1990s, NOBODY WANTED TO BE A NURSE. In fact, I used to get insulted (I didn't get spit on or...

  22. Why I LOVE night shift

    TheMediaLies replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    When I was younger, I worked night shift @ a major hospital here in California. Man, those were good times. What I remember the most about the nigh shift were all the women....Never

  23. Problems with the aging nurses

    TheMediaLies replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    What major hospital doesn't offer a pension after you've vested? If you work in a SNF or a convalescent hospital, you should have been looking to transfer to a hospital while you were young enough to...

  24. Problems with the aging nurses

    TheMediaLies replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. I'm in my late 30s and I used to work with a nurse who was in her 70s and she was
