  1. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    HM-8404 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you think a union contract takes the stress out of a job then I say you have never worked a union

  2. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    HM-8404 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can be the most sarcastic, in your face person you will run across when it is warranted. On the other hand, I am rarely cruel or unkind. I am a realist and try to give realistic advice. If someone...

  3. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    HM-8404 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First of all I didn't say the military is slavery, I said it is the closest you can get in the US. Not so much in how you get there but what happens after you have raised your right hand. As a member...

    HM-8404 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    By all means PM me with any of my posts that you consider

  5. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    HM-8404 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you. I know I am old and Alzheimer's is probably right around the corner, but I didn't think I had posted anything that could realistically be considered "mean." I guess some people make...

  6. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    HM-8404 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've posted mean posts? I've often replied in kind, but don't think I have posted anything mean out of the blue. Could you give an example or

  7. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    HM-8404 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If someone is that stressed out by their job then they need to rethink their career choice. If no other reason than for their own health and well being. Not everyone can handle stress. Why do you...

  8. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    HM-8404 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How about because some people are just miserable mean people that have no control over their life, and some of them become nurses? Why would you say only nurses HAVE to put up with frustration and...

  9. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    HM-8404 replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It reminds me of something that happens on Facebook quite often. I will paraphrase what some people often will post... "Hi, I'm a drama queen and I need your prayers and support just so I can feel...

  10. How do you do a study group?

    HM-8404 replied to KLBatchelor's topic in General Students

    I discovered in my Physics class and some of my science classes a study group cannot be formed right away. You need to be in class long enough to see who is as serious as you are. One thing you DO NOT...

  11. Slapped across the face by male patient

    HM-8404 replied to noyesno's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You were more upset about being slapped by a man than the fact you were slapped in the first

  12. Slapped across the face by male patient

    HM-8404 replied to noyesno's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was wondering if the replies would have been the same if it had been a female patient, or just male specific. Also, what would the advice had been if it had been a male nurse that was slapped by a...

  13. Slapped across the face by male patient

    HM-8404 replied to noyesno's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My state made assault on a nurse, doctor, tech, etc a Class C felony quite a while ago. It covers any employee of a hospital, County or district health dept., a long-term care facility, or a...

  14. Drug Shortages

    HM-8404 replied to CrufflerJJ's topic in Patient Medications

    What is sad is that so many people, and their lawyers, see the right lawsuit, against the right company, as a retirement

  15. Drug Shortages

    HM-8404 replied to CrufflerJJ's topic in Patient Medications

    Part of the reason for the high cost of drugs in the US could be on tv several times a night. I bet I see 3-5 commercials wanting people to join in class action lawsuits because a life saving drug...

  16. Am I being offered a fair pay?

    HM-8404 replied to AussiRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If the pay is fair or not can only be determined by you. If you are satisfied and willing to work for the pay then it is

  17. Am I being offered a fair pay?

    HM-8404 replied to AussiRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Be careful with the agencies. A friend of mine got her agency pay direct deposit and only got 2 check stubs. After a year, and making almost $75K she got a 1099 from the agency. This is because they...

  18. Scrubs, Anyone?

    HM-8404 replied to Clodhopper's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The fanny pack could work. Just think of all the stuff I could keep in it, tape, alcohol swabs, saline flushes, keys, wallet, and if I get the big one a pack of cheese crackers and a Mt. Dew....

  19. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    HM-8404 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yep, little kids don't know what the date is and older kids are only interested in the toys. They don't give a flip if mom or dad is there. When they get old enough to care if mom or dad is there they...

  20. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    HM-8404 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The OP lives in a hurricane area. Many forget that hurricanes do not hit in a matter of a few hours or minutes. You are given days notice, sometimes 3+. If someone can foresee it being a problem and...

  21. Scrubs, Anyone?

    HM-8404 replied to Clodhopper's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Is that anything like a fanny pack? I could totally pull that

  22. Scrubs, Anyone?

    HM-8404 replied to Clodhopper's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I prefer cargo pants. I need the pockets for my wallet, change, keys, phone, etc. I am male so I don't carry a purse to stash all of my stuff

  23. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    HM-8404 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I suppose you think it is acceptable to accept employment with the knowledge you are not going to fulfill your responsibilities? Would that not be the same as a parent in the military refusing to be...

  24. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    HM-8404 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What I find annoying is when I hire someone I have certain expectations and they start making excuses why they can't meet the agreed upon terms of their

  25. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    HM-8404 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Often in life we hear what we want to hear and ignore what we don't like. Those thinking about nursing school hear, There is a shortage and you will get to coo and play with babies all day in the...
