  1. Compassion, easily lost?

    veggie530 replied to xoxJanexoxDoexox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have control over yourself. 10% of your life will be the things that happen to you, 90% of them will be the way in which you react to them (who said that?!). Some compassion loss will be replaced...

  4. Compassion, easily lost?

    veggie530 replied to xoxJanexoxDoexox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    veggie530 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. New male nurse student and assessment skills

    veggie530 replied to bdedwards's topic in Male Nursing Students

    1.) I'd stare at a body part of a patient and ask "Did I do everything I could go with this body part?" before moving on. Don't take that with any sexual connotations, lol. 2.) No, except for 1...

  8. Background Check Discrepancy (problem?)

    veggie530 replied to veggie530's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to hearing from HR, but the first line supervisor told me not to worry about it. Type A personalities can't handle the big red letters on the background check,...

    veggie530 replied to Zgb9793's topic in Men in Nursing

    veggie530 replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    As a type 1 diabetic... I don't need any nurse to give me my medication. I know a hell of a lot more about insulin and my disease than any RN (or school official) I've met, diabetic educators...

  15. How Not to Get Taken Advantage Of

    veggie530 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I don't really get it. I let people have any of my work they wanted so long as it didn't inconvenience me. The work I put in forged my character and work ethic. If they want to forego that and have...

    veggie530 replied to durantetodalanoche's topic in General Nursing

    Well, jeez, leaving a patient to be sitting in their own filth for any amount of time that isn't absolutely necessary is not very good patient care. I'm glad there's a topic about it, though --...

  21. Rotating Day/Night shifts

    veggie530 replied to MSNrunner's topic in General Nursing

    The position I'm starting is 12 hour nights during the week and whenever I work a weekend 8 hour day shifts. I find that to be easier, to be honest, so long as the space in between the variation is a...
