  1. Goodwin College???

    RNdynamic replied to miss_xtine's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Is it for profit or

  2. New nurse in the CVICU at a level 1 trauma center

    RNdynamic replied to smithRN16's topic in Critical Care

    Why have we resigned ourselves to expecting hazing as some kind of professional norm? It isn't, and it shouldn't be. I've experienced a sort of light hazing myself in a couple units -- why do we sit...

  3. My first fall

    RNdynamic replied to Alimamethaa's topic in General Nursing

    Freaking out? Crying day and night? Fired or lose your license..? And you are basing these emotions on what..? Falls happen; life goes on. It isn't a big

  4. Goodwin College???

    RNdynamic replied to miss_xtine's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    All I know is that they are CONSTANTLY advertising. Their marketing budget must be huge. Constantly hearing ads on TV and radio and seeing billboards everywhere, and they always say they NEVER STOP...

  5. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    I am forced to agree with the above. Respect everyone... not just those who you agree with. Everyone deserves compassion. It took until I was in recovery that I really tried to practice compassion...

  6. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    No, it was the word stitched on the underwear I picked this morning. Want to

  7. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, SBE has done what sirl mentioned. She's made personal attacks in the thread instead of tackling the substance of it. Making it personal instead of debating the topic. "Not surprised, this...

  8. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that you use such language as "the depression card" and previously, "the mood disorder card" just shows how mentalist/ableist you are, regardless of whether or not you are affected by these...

  9. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your kind words. I basically have teflon skin when it comes to these websites, but it's always nice to hear words of support. We have a lot of "cobs" or whatever running around on the...

  10. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    You're living in an imaginary fairy tale land. With very few exceptions, employers cannot discriminate against you based on medical conditions. They have to show that your medical condition will...

  11. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    What are you basing this perception on? Why doesn't it seem true to you? Accusing the OP of attention seeking is extraordinarily

  12. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    No way would you be fired for that. You aren't required to disclose all health conditions to an employer anyway -- pre-employment physicals only ask about health conditions that affect your ability...

  13. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    That isn't correct. People in my monitoring program most certainly can and do work nights. I don't know where you heard that from. There are no specialties or shifts that nurses in my program...

  14. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Even people with their own disorders can be prejudicial against others with them. Having such a condition does not make you immune to prejudice. You may have handled your disorder in a way that you...

  15. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    No offense but you're exhibiting textbook ableism/mentalism. What you are using is ableist language. Reread the sentence I bolded in your quotation. Mood disorders are illnesses too. It sounds like...

  16. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    No one should have to work a shift they don't want to work. People who want to work days shouldn't have to work nights. If there aren't enough people wanting to work nights, then you blame the...

  17. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    You dont tell them off the bat that you cant do nights. Thats silly. The strategy is to get hired, finish orientation, then provide the medical paperwork saying you can't do

  18. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    I worked straight days in the CTICU. I am certainly not a senior nurse but all or my treaters for my depression and substance abuse strongly advised me not to work nights as evidence has shown that...

  19. Do you see ethnic tensions at work?

    RNdynamic replied to princessgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, nice doctor. What part of the country is

  20. Report etiquette

    RNdynamic replied to nursecatRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't take care of patients until I get report, so I don't mind if the offgoing nurse wants to goof around with her charting for 45 minutes before giving me report. I'm still getting paid, so I...

  21. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNdynamic replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Advice: A lot of the information people gave in this thread is very bad. Instead,get paperwork from a psychiatrist stating that he will not support you working nights. If you have a mood disorder...

  22. Feeling guilty about calling in sick.

    RNdynamic replied to Becca, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't apologize for calling in sick. Your employer will just think that you're a spineless, pathetic wimp and loser. Have some respect for

  23. Med Surg or Tele? How is it decided

    RNdynamic replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    ACLS and PALS to be allowed to read tele? Lol,

  24. Med Surg or Tele? How is it decided

    RNdynamic replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    3 days of orientation is terrible. I would not want to be taken care in a hospital by a nurse who was oriented only 3 days of acute

  25. Nurses with Mental Illness

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    This thread is designed to talk about whether or not you have been stigmatized at work due to any mental illnesses you may have. They may relate to anything ranging from mild illness to severe and...
