  1. Husband wants to try nursing at 44

    Diahni replied to mstigerlily's topic in Men in Nursing

    Ha! This reminds me of what people were always saying when I was an older student.... and how old will you be if you don't do this? I found in nursing school, the older students had much to bring to...

  2. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    Diahni replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Brighteyes, I am glad to hear this! Those specifics you mention, decision making, etc. are skills that not all doctors have, nor are they encouraged to by their training. I am, in fact, one of those...

  3. How do you build up stamina for 12 hr shifts?

    Diahni replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Five day weekends! I just don't know how you do it.

  4. Husband wants to try nursing at 44

    Diahni replied to mstigerlily's topic in Men in Nursing

    Experimenter, 43??? Hey you're just a young whippersnapper! Besides the edge you get from age, you also have experience with a particular population that probably doesn't get good care in general....

  5. EC CPNE workshop

    Diahni replied to tgb3rn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh, dear! Why did you have to travel so far? I would think the travel alone would be rough on your nerves. Congratulations!

  6. what is the RN age limit to becoming a flight nurse

    Diahni replied to angelique777's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    GeorgiaBoy, Yes, age discrimination is everywhere. You'd think it would change with all the aging Boomers, myself included, but I think it hasn't changed one bit. There are many Olympic athletes...

  7. Good Bye to Nursing for me...

    Diahni replied to healer27's topic in General Nursing

    fmwf: I like your theory. Yes, it's true. Your preceptor sounds like a real sweetheart. I find it amazing that a nurse would have such a negative view of her own profession. Wow, you are tough to put...

  8. Good Bye to Nursing for me...

    Diahni replied to healer27's topic in General Nursing

    No fun? If it were fun, you wouldn't get paid for it! But I'm with you, I took a liking to psych, as well.

  9. Nurse tracking devices

    Diahni replied to PattonD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The way I see it is you can have all the power in the world. Yes, hospitals would be in big trouble without nurses, eh? But if people don't get together and wield this power, what good is it? Looks...

  10. Nurse tracking devices

    Diahni replied to PattonD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pam I Am: Wow. Ever wonder why nurses continue to put up with this crap? How many professional people would put up with regularly not getting a lunch break? I find the "trackers" downright offensive,...

    Diahni replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks,

  12. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    Diahni replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    RE: Info about nurse practitioners: There is a journal with a web site: http://www.tnpj.com/pt/re/nursepract On amazon, it looks like books are either reviews for certification exams, or specifics...

  13. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    Diahni replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Everybody, Would be nice to have a resource with side-by-side comparisons of states. If anybody knows of such a thing, do tell. Matter of fact, I'm going to check my library now. The data probably...

  14. What is the biggest frustration for nursing students?

    Diahni replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Oh, to be sure. My particular teachers, I am sure, were having bad lives. People are mean when they're unhappy. Grouchy patients I can stand as I appreciate how uncomfortable they are. But the...

  15. Borderlines.......

    Diahni replied to PsychRN-Kris's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi Soxfan, Clarification please: do you think DBT training is also good for people working with borderline people (not just the patients?) I understand it's one of the most effective therapies for a...

  16. Good Bye to Nursing for me...

    Diahni replied to healer27's topic in General Nursing

    Healer27, You're pregnant and don't need the money? This is a no-brainer! Unlike every single one of my friends, I quit my job when I got pregnant and never looked back. Take a break enjoy your...

  17. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    LilD Kessler: I thinking I should start an Excelsior info web page - I know so much of the process is complicated, but why reinvent the wheel when others have been through it? For the meantime, let me...

  18. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    Diahni replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    SS: Don't forget you can also be a very sweet tough cookie! While I feel sorry for people who treat others badly, it sure doesn't make it any more pleasant to be around them. I don't think that any...

  19. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    Diahni replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Karen, You ought to check out my former school - lots of pickles, but no honey! If you check out legal web sites, to be sure, students rarely win. When they do, it boggles my mind, such as the white...

  20. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    Diahni replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! How funny! A fellow nursing student was asked to go on a date with a doctor during our clinicals, and the clinical instructor caught wind of it and had a fit! It probably depends on the hospital...

  21. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    Diahni replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses pursuing a "MRS" have gone the way of the dinosaur. These days, doctors more often than not, marry other doctors. That said, who wants to marry a

  22. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    Diahni replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    StevieLynn, Oh, to be sure, there are lots of jerks out there. But this is what really gets my goose about nursing: Somehow turning the other cheek is apparently part of the job description. It makes...

  23. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    Diahni replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hmmm, I'm wondering about my state, The People's Republic of Massachusetts. It's pretty progressive about most things, but I don't know about NP status. I once saw a book in the library that listed...

  24. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    Diahni replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    This is definitely true! How you come off to people will affect how they treat you. Problem is that its the people who are most vulnerable that get the most cr*p. There's a class issue here, too. I'm...

  25. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    Diahni replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Sandlewood: This is my take, as well. It truly is part of the nursing environment and I would suspect, very hard to change it. (Could you change all the swearing that goes on with auto mechanics?) I...
