  1. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    veggie530 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I suppose in every industry in America (or Canada or anywhere else in the free world) instead of insist on proper treatment of ALL workers, everyone should just decide to accept the status quo or...

  2. When do you find time to work out?

    veggie530 replied to emcadams's topic in General Students

    It's accoding to what sort of workouts you want. I'm a weight lifter but to be honest I have to sacrifice T.V. and anything else non-productive ENTIRELY in order to be able to fit the gym

  3. I hate my job and I can't get out.

    veggie530 replied to ewrn's topic in General Nursing

    1:8? Holy

  4. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    veggie530 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    "You know what they want? Obedient workers * people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork but just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly ******** jobs...

  5. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    veggie530 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My comment has little to do with whether or not someone wanted to leave the shift so much as the conditions. Time and a half for disaster pay? No foreseeable relief? Leave at any time and expect to be...

  6. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    veggie530 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It has nothing to do with being coddled or being diplomatic. To be quite honest, I find your answer to be very intellectually lazy and dripping with condescension, no offense intended. Quite the...

  7. Alteration of Scrub Uniform?

    veggie530 replied to EP10's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    this is a secret brag topic "I'm too small for a medium, but my breasts are so large they can't fit in a small. Woe is

  11. Feeling Uncertain

    veggie530 replied to chillax63's topic in Male Nursing Students

    CNA's change bed linens and diapers. Nurses do MUCH more than that on the floor, obviously. But nursing is a highly diverse field -- you can work bedside, you can work in a suit and tie... you can...

  12. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    veggie530 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Oh my. That explains a lot. There's no chance (at least, I don't THINK) that a hospital here in California could anticipate holding you hostage for normal OT pay and not allowing you to leave for an...

  13. Changing Careers to Nursing as 35 year old man

    veggie530 replied to DB7721's topic in Men in Nursing

    This makes more sense. I ask you though, Chuckster... BSN is the new holy grail, but would it be better for someone to bridge to a MSN with their already finished B.S. in ___ology, or to actually get...

  14. Changing Careers to Nursing as 35 year old man

    veggie530 replied to DB7721's topic in Men in Nursing

    Why do that when you can do an ADN program (cheap, cheap, cheap) and subsequently bridge to a MSN with his already finished

  15. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    veggie530 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    She doesn't sound entitled at all. She's asking legitimate questions -- albeit they should be asked of her union reps and she should know what is in her contract. From what she describes, she could be...

    veggie530 replied to bertha1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry for not contributing much to this topic, but I literally LOL'd @ I just imagined the situation of a wide eyed MA running out of the room as if a bomb was about to go

    Nah, not really. lol I just deal with it and use it as

  18. Need to work to afford RN program, advice appreciated

    veggie530 replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    This is a terrible thing to do, but this is what I did... I signed up at Grand Canyon University (online school) to finish my B.S. concurrently with the RN program. My B.S. will be in Business/Applied...

  19. Should I switch Nursing Schools after finishing my 1st semester?

    veggie530 replied to JCast87's topic in General Students

    Thank God you're switching. Even though you learn a lot on the floor after getting hired you still want a good foundational knowledge going in and you have to pass the NCLEX. If the school only has a...

  20. Nursing school + working - WWYD?

    veggie530 replied to WorkingTowardsBSN's topic in General Students

    Accept the position. The RN program is not nearly as hard as some people make it out to be *in my opinion* and you can always quit the job if it is too much and explain to your employer that you took...

  21. Grateful for male nurses!!

    veggie530 replied to studentnurse96's topic in Male Nursing Students

  22. Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?

    veggie530 replied to Bortaz's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Although facebook can be made private, I have been (at times) what information was shared through friends of mine on facebook that were friends with people that I was

  23. Do you have a lot of Debt to pay off

    veggie530 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Notice most of the people without debt are people who are married (someone else is bringing in an income). If you do a BSN program without doing ADN first, you'll likely get some hefty debt. If your...

  25. What is Chemistry Like?

    veggie530 replied to Jonahyona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Nursing" chemistry will be much more focused on tangible concepts and actually easier than general chemistry if you're not a chem-type. General chemistry involves some algebra, a lot of conceptual...
