    Diahni replied to chuckc's topic in General Nursing

    Lucky you! I don't think you have to be chronologically young for this to be true, and it usually isn't true, thank God!

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

  5. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    HI Theofficegirl: Yes, it is minutia. That said, after a pow-wow with the dean, she said I was supposed to strengthen my med-surg skills throughout February in order to remain in the program. I might...

  6. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Jules, yes, I know what you mean. It was nuts, but I beat them to the punch. Many students flunk out in the last semester, it must be so frustrating. Thing is, I'm not really in a hurry to finish, as...

  7. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Hi TeleRNer: Not sure I made it clear, I'm speaking of an ADN program. I'm not sure if individual experiences depend on which kind of program one is in. This is funny: I told my tale of woe to two...

  8. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks TazziRN, yes, that's what I'm going to do. I wouldn't really want to continue there, it's just so toxic. Nurses tell me it's pretty much like this everywhere, though. There's quite a few...

  9. "You're gonna need to learn Spanish...."

    Diahni replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    Smkiya, Go for it! Spanish is probably the easiest language to learn and it will be a great asset in your job. I used to go to music festivals, where I was the only person who spoke one language -...

  10. Whats to Enjoy about Nursing?

    Diahni replied to sissyboo's topic in General Nursing

    Jmeador, Please don't berate anybody for all the complaining that goes on at allnurses.com. It could be the only place where somebody is able to complain! After all, God bless anybody who has taken on...

  11. Nurse tracking devices

    Diahni replied to PattonD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good point! But could you imagine a doctor agreeing to a tracking device? I doubt it. I have another idea - why not put tracking devices on charts? My experience has been that this is what people...

  12. Nurse tracking devices

    Diahni replied to PattonD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Everyone, I have read these posts with great interest. Wearing a tracking device is an indignity that should be reserved for prisoners who are under house arrest. The larger question is: How can...

  14. Any new grad ever been let go after 6 month trial period?

    Diahni replied to cjj0603's topic in General Nursing

    My sympathies - Anybody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think sometimes a worker can rub a person in charge the wrong way. No matter what the details, would you really want to work there anyway? I...

  15. Nurse tracking devices

    Diahni replied to PattonD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Mary Austin, Wow, you are a demon typist, as I just posted! First, dogs get microchips, and then it'll be nurses. Every step of the way, the problem is nurses seem to be attached to the per diem cost...

  16. Whats to Enjoy about Nursing?

    Diahni replied to sissyboo's topic in General Nursing

    Afloyd, Sounds like an enjoyable commute to me! I am about to graduate (God willing,) and of all the things, good and bad there may be, the thing that mystifies me is why there seem to be so many...

  17. Nurse tracking devices

    Diahni replied to PattonD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Patton D: I'm still in nursing school, and I find them totally creepy. Sure, the explanation makes sense - so people can find you. Then why don't the docs wear them too. Very very 1984, wouldn't you...

  18. House - Is this what nurses do?

    Diahni replied to MT RN's topic in General Nursing

    Everybody, I find the provocative way Cuddy dresses to defy reality. Has anybody ever seen an MD administrator dress in high heels and low-cut blouses? It would be nice to have some positive images of...

  19. What I love about nursing

    Diahni replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    I love nursing for these reasons. I love showing people that I care and that I understand. It's not all about the paperwork and the tasks. The element of human comfort goes such a long way in...

  20. Trouble Makers

    Diahni replied to NurseyPoo's topic in General Nursing

    Kinda scary to think this person is a nurse! Maybe your marriage is a source of envy for this person. And to think he "lets" you travel by yourself! I say she's seething with envy, and who knows,...

  21. Need upfront Input/Advice

    Diahni replied to BobRoberts's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi Bob, I'm 53 will get my ADN and hopefully pass the NCLEX this year. My experience is that the more you can clear off the table to do your work, the better off you are. Ask around and make sure you...

  22. Trouble Makers

    Diahni replied to NurseyPoo's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry, my dear. Yes, they're out there. What are some people like this? Are they unhappy, or just plain mean? Maybe both. In any case, "stuck people stick people." I am still in nursing school and...

  23. does anyone really like nursing?

    Diahni replied to karenne40's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    gonzo1, where do you work? can I work there, too?

  24. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    Diahni replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes, highschool mentality, maybe even middle school. Where does this meanness come from, and why are these people becoming nurses? I've heard more than my share of nasty remarks from other students....

  25. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    Diahni replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    May I add to this? Nursing school sucks ROYALLY. As for venting once you become a nurse, there are dangers to venting at work. I had a friend who did this - the person who was getting her goat was the...
