  1. The real reason your failing in school

    enuf_already replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Students

    OP I agree with tsm007. Not sure where you are getting your "facts." In my area of the country, nurses do not start at 65k plus per year. It takes many years of experience or a lot of overtime to...

  2. Obnoxious Doctors

    enuf_already replied to SU2013's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't know. Are you said doctor? By your responses to previous posters, maybe consider that the tone in which one is addressed can affect the response you get from

  3. Giving med with known adverse effects

    enuf_already replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    Exactly, but not everyone will experience adverse effects. As Esme pointed out, in many cases, the benefits truly outweigh the risks. I would much rather treat my strep throat with amoxicillin that...

  4. The IDEAL Cover Letter and Resume

    enuf_already replied to Nurse J1112's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was concerned that your computer skills were a little shaky until I saw you are proficient in spades. That should seal the deal for any

  5. Need help with this medical abbreviation.

    enuf_already replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Esme, that's because when you and I were in school, they were just inventing Latin ;-). Just kidding. When I couldn't remember the real Latin term, I would make up my own. HS= Hour of Sleep. For ac...

  6. Lie on notes? Don't follow care plan.

    enuf_already replied to anangelsmommy's topic in Private Duty

    In other words, nurses are not expected to provide "nursing" care, they are expected to babysit the client and a sibling? Sounds like insurance fraud to me. You are correct to question this. Run,...

  7. Anyone have an MSN with no BSN? Problems with this?

    enuf_already replied to kerussll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not in the same boat but a similar unanswered question came up in our Magnet institution recently. Several associate degree nurses were considering a program which would allow them to start and...

  8. What is your opinion of nursing and positive illusions?

    enuf_already replied to jwalker03's topic in General Students

    Hmmm. Experienced nurses are very good at cutting through a lot of extraneous material and getting down to the facts. "Unrealistic positive views," "narcissists" are not phrases used to win friends or...

  9. Nurses and/os retired, or former Teachers!!!!! Help PLEASE!!!!!

    enuf_already replied to RN2bBevy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Teachers do at least get the summer off to be with their kids (provided they are not in year long school programs). Most hospital based nurses are only allowed to take a maximum of 2 weeks off...

  10. Harsh nurses

    enuf_already replied to binzy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks for clearing that up. I was trying to figure out why someone going to FNP school who already obtained their LPN would be back posting on an LPN board but stranger things have happened. My...

  11. Harsh nurses

    enuf_already replied to binzy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm seeing the same thing when I click on her profile. Three different user names and accounts all linked to the same person's profile. Current post is under LPN forum but posts report variances of...

  12. Harsh nurses

    enuf_already replied to binzy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have a big bag of Twizzlers I can share ;-). What's with the disgruntled failed student posts lately? It's always the instructor's

  13. Harsh nurses

    enuf_already replied to binzy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Just a wild guess here, but I think maybe your failure had to do with more than the "power of a big shot clinical instructor." I understand you may not be happy but flinging general insults at all...

  14. oh, you were just laying down?

    enuf_already replied to KATRN78's topic in Private Duty

    Eww. Now I have to go wash out my brain. I'm still trying to figure out how it would have been less work to retrieve the pacifier laying down instead of sitting. Why some people just won't fess up...

  15. Hyperventilating

    enuf_already replied to rozzylisa's topic in Emergency

    Yes, absence seizures. We have kids hyperventilate (little ones are asked to blow on a pinwheel) while having an EEG and this will trigger some kids to have documented EEG changes with a sudden...

  16. oh, you were just laying down?

    enuf_already replied to KATRN78's topic in Private Duty

    Besides that, duct tape works much better ;-). I'm joking. Really.

  17. Not a Nurse???

    enuf_already replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I think this is a continuation of the thread "A Word to the Wise" by the OP. I gather from the other thread, OP is a dialysis patient who is a former police officer. In the other thread, he/she...

  18. Handicapped Access Ramps

    enuf_already replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, we forgot. When no one else wants to do it, it becomes nursing's responsibility. The nurse can take care of that while he/she is making sandwiches for guests, swapping out magazines in the...

  19. Handicapped Access Ramps

    enuf_already replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    Dear driver, Your car is parked violating handicapped ramp accessibility. Further violations will result in fines, towing, or both. Move your car, moron! ;-). (Okay I would leave that part out)...

  20. Unsure of wanting kids

    enuf_already replied to j0yegan's topic in Health, Stress Management

    OP, first let me say I commend you for even taking the time to think about such a huge life altering decision. You are not being selfish if you decide not to have children! You should not have...

  21. did i fluid overload her to death??

    enuf_already replied to heshamhesham's topic in Cardiac

    This is an old thread from February. Your profile states you are a pre nursing student who registered today with a total of 3 posts. You have 3 posts that are very accusing of the original posters....

  22. Mom jailed for refusing to feed her infant proper formula

    enuf_already replied to RNIBCLC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Klone, you are correct that if the baby was taking soy formula freely, dehydration or starvation should not be a problem. I was under the impression the child was already on soy formula and the MD...

  23. Mom jailed for refusing to feed her infant proper formula

    enuf_already replied to RNIBCLC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Better in jail temporarily where she could bond out and the baby got treatment vs the other potential outcome. Ill vegan baby dies from starvation and dehydration would have been a tragic headline...

  24. Parents going out of town

    enuf_already replied to lpn_mom's topic in Private Duty

    If the agency is aware and has agreed to this situation, they are on the hook to provide care--one way or another--for this child. That could mean the nurse working a shift gets stuck at the home...

  25. How did you feel when you got your first nursing paycheck?

    enuf_already replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I felt rich! That $7.07 an hour I was making took the load off of my husband as being primary breadwinner. When I completed orientation and worked evenings, I got $.10 an hour shift differential. I...
