    lub dub replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    Now it all makes sense to me. You're a paramedic, so you're used to doing "doctor's work", & not "nurse's work", which you believe is "babying the patient". Good luck with

  2. Fired for med error

    lub dub replied to KJAKE's topic in Patient Medications

    Nurses are expected to self-report. That's the honest & professional thing to

  3. i'll probably get flamed to the moon and back for this but..

    lub dub replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    If I am ever a patient in the hospital, I would rather not have a nurse caring for me who is in the profession as a "fallback option". Because if that is the case, it will show in how you do your job....

    lub dub replied to hopefulRN23's topic in General Students

    One person's pessimist is another person's optimist. GrnTea is just telling it like it

  6. Is this a legal part of the job?

    lub dub replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This sounds like a joke. However, most nurses job descriptions have language like "...and other duties as assigned", which could theoretically cover the snow removal thing, if it were not, in fact, a...

    Organic chemistry and a cooking class??? Something about this whole story doesn't sound

  9. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    lub dub replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    OK, here's a suggestion, EmilyEmily: 1. Do all of your required reading before class. 2. After you have read each chapter, write out an outline of the material. 3. In class, take notes and record the...

  11. Favoritism with working(or not working) holidays

    lub dub replied to sistrmoon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This kind of thing does not happen in union

  12. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    lub dub replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    This was one 30 minute lecture in a semester full of PowerPoints! And what do I say to a student who comes up to me after class & says, "I'm not a visual learner. Please don't use PowerPoints."?...

  13. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    lub dub replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    I couldn't agree more. As a current nursing instructor, I feel the over-reliance on PowerPoints is unfortunate. I once did a brief (30 minutes or so) lecture on a med/surg topic with no PowerPoints,...

    lub dub replied to OC_An Khe's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The website for the Hartford Courant has been doing an excellent job of updating the ongoing situation. Here is a link to their latest article: Topic Galleries - Courant.com The mayor of New London,...

  15. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    lub dub replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    Believe it or not, I went to nursing school before PowerPoint was invented. And I still managed to learn. Too many students are addicted to

  16. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    lub dub replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    If you are looking at your time in clinicals as just an interruption of your studying time, no wonder you aren't doing well. A good student LEARNS when he or she is in clinicals. That is when what you...

  17. 5th time nclex taker

    lub dub replied to mnelmac's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Something is wrong with their curriculum?! If there were dozens of graduates who failed NCLEX-RN four times, then I would say that. But if one person fails NCLEX-RN four times, it is not the...

  18. Leadership

    Wow. Just...wow. "A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim is fulfilled. The people will say, we did it ourselves." -Lao

  19. Oh NO! Just got the SCOOP on my Chemistry Professor!

    lub dub replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^This!!! These are the realities of the ratemyprofessor website: -ANYONE can log on & bash a professor. You do not have to prove that you have ever taken a class taught by that professor, or that...

  21. Nursing Student needing to perfrom an interview on a nurse educator

    lub dub replied to cscarlett83's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    How do you know that the people who are answering these questions are nurse educators? They could be nursing students on this

  22. Doctors not talking to nurses

    lub dub replied to AlphaPig's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sounds like something that should be brought up with the head of Medical Affairs. Maybe the nurse manager could have a word with that

  23. I can't believe the MD did that

    lub dub replied to cardiacfreak's topic in General Nursing

    Why didn't the nurse caring for the patient speak up? Nurses are first & foremost patient advocates. Cardiacfreak, I love your shoe

  24. Dismissed from nursing school? Don't give up!

    lub dub replied to endji's topic in General Students

    So not liking your instructor's teaching style is an acceptable

  25. Are we tyrants?

    lub dub replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hmmm. There must be a middle ground for advocacy between "sunshine & rainbows" and being a "tyrant". A true professional will find a way to do
