  1. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To clarify the quote, another way I have seen it said is "snitches get stitches". In other words, if you are a "snitch" then you're going to end up getting your ass beat (i.e. getting stitches). The...

  2. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It was an intentionally juvenile word to represent juvenile behavior. Sorry that choice of words has so many people hung up that they're missing the

  3. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You do know what that quote means, right? and why canigraduate perceived it as a

  4. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Telling on someone, or snitching (I'm not sure why some of you are so caught up on that word), would be to call someone out by name behind their back, not make a generalized and public suggestion to a...

  5. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't suggest you try to teach them to be a professional, I suggested you BE the professional and take it to them personally before escalating it unnecessarily (assuming this isn't one of the...

  6. Workplace Cowardice

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I assume this was in response to my original post. I'm quite certain I'm not the kind of person you've described here. In fact I know I'm not, but that's beside the point really because I was...

  7. if you graduated in the last 5 years

    Mr. Murse replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed that depending on where you're from, people use different words for nurse's aids/techs/PCT/etc. I don't know if you could specifically get a position as a surgical tech. I worked on a GI...

  8. if you graduated in the last 5 years

    Mr. Murse replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as a tech for my last semester of school, got some good experience, and had two job offers before I even graduated. I almost feel like teching should be a requirement for nursing students....

  9. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    Mr. Murse replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree this is not appropriate for work, or anywhere really if the person doesn't want to have the conversation, I'm surprised at how offended some of you get over this. I'm not religious, but...

  10. Back pain RN

    Mr. Murse replied to nursefortheLord's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've worked on a busy surgical floor for 3 years handling 5-7 patients a shift, and now have been in the ICU for a few months handling 2-3 patients and in my experience so far the ICU is less...

  11. ICU pay differential?

    Mr. Murse replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    I felt like digging this thread up now that I'm a few months into critical care. After working 3 years on a GI surgical floor (which was a borderline step down unit most of the time) and now a few...

  12. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    Mr. Murse replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you're pronouncing letters that are actually IN the word, I don't think there's a "right" way to say some of these terms, just a more common way of saying it. Now, what really bugs me is...

  13. (IN)Appropriate Dress

    Mr. Murse replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering why you picked out NPs in particular? I've seen more doctors dressed questionably than NPs, but even so nothing really out of line. One of our surgeons used to come in often in his...

  14. A VERY frustrated nurse

    Mr. Murse replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't like beating around the bush, so I have to say........4 hours late would be considered excessive no matter where you work. Surely you can understand why, and if you can't understand why then...

  15. What Topics Would You Like to Know More About???

    Mr. Murse replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Before I get jumped on, let me preface what I'm about to say by clarifying that I am NOT anti-vaccine. I do, however, take some issue with being forced to have the flu vaccine at my hospital, or to...

  16. Please help me with my homework

    Mr. Murse replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    uuuuuummmmm.......if you've renewed so many times, how do you not know it

  17. At a loss...

    Mr. Murse replied to KJoRN81's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm a little bothered by the fact that you are looking for validation for reporting someone based on speculation and not satisfied with their "punishment" after at least SOME investigation had...

  18. What does your Head to Toe really consist of?

    Mr. Murse replied to mykg's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, the new nurse discovering all the corners and loopholes of the real nursing world. First off, learn to do your assessment thoroughly and correctly while you have the time and opportunity to do...

  19. Night shift and exercise

    Mr. Murse replied to jar312's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Unlike previous posters, I don't like being active after work. I work 3 or 4 days a week (12 hour shifts of course), and I treat work days differently than free days. On work days I'll usually get up...

  20. What kind of personal medical equipment are nurses allowed to use at the hospitals?

    Mr. Murse replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just pretty much repeating what a few others have said, but unless you're working home health or somewhere way out in the boonies, chances are the only thing you'll really need to bring is a...

  21. Possibly Odd Question

    Mr. Murse replied to want2b3's topic in General Students

    This is kind of a funny question, and I'm really curious as to where the OP is coming from with it and what he means exactly..... Trying to answer the question as best as possible though...

  22. Help? I regret this career choice?

    Mr. Murse replied to katie6126's topic in General Students

    I quite reading the responses on the second page because everyone seemed to be validating your absolutely crappy perceptions of nursing which is BS. I work 3 days a week, unless I want overtime (which...

  23. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

    Mr. Murse replied to Godsfavorforeve's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I hear people encouraging the OP to just keep trying and trying if she wants it bad enough, the old saying that comes to mind is "even a stopped clock is on time twice a day". There's the problem...

  24. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

    Mr. Murse replied to Godsfavorforeve's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but I could care less about magnet hospitals and I know I'm not the only one. And saying most of us just don't care enough for people is just.......well......plain...

  25. Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

    Mr. Murse replied to Godsfavorforeve's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    3 times seems reasonable, only because the NCLEX is drawing from a massive number of questions and the fact is that you just simply can't study it all so it seems fair to give people 2 or 3 chances....
