    What Else Can I Do For A Living?

    Orion81RN replied to RNCM123's topic in Nursing Career

    Hmm as an avid Grey's watcher, I need to go back and find where they said he was Chief of Staff like Cuddy in House. Not doubting you, just surprised I missed that after my millionth binge. Oh, and...

    Unit Closed, feeling lost.

    Orion81RN replied to Strawberrysmoothie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. I don't recall where I read it, I believe some self help depression book, but a change in job was on a list of things that are rated most stressful in life...

    This person outranks me?!

    Orion81RN replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    Very well put. I certainly recognize my own response for what it was. Immediate, and a bit unnecessary, retaliation coming from personal defensiveness. Because if it weren't for haughtiness in later...

    Did I did not do enough?

    Orion81RN replied to Depressnewgrad's topic in General Nursing

    I am SO using this next time I deal with a grumpy doc.

    What HARD truth have you learned once you became a nurse and/or CNA?

    Orion81RN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    HARD truth....took me a while to get to this one as I've been pondering my answer. I guess it would have to be how incredibly self centered and uncompassionate people can be. I recall a hospice...

    New nurse, proud of myself!

    Orion81RN replied to Dd04321's topic in General Nursing

    That is awesome! Doesn't it feel great when all the bookwork just clicks in a real life situation....AND you know how to handle it? My very first night ever working as a nurse, I walked into my...

    This person outranks me?!

    Orion81RN replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    For TB? What critical thinking should we know if we are NOT in this area of expertise? I like to think my critical thinking skills are pretty good, with some duh moments like everyone. But I have zero...

    What Else Can I Do For A Living?

    Orion81RN replied to RNCM123's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm seeing less shocking of asystole, at least. And it seems somebody got the memo that you don't do like 10 soft compressions a minute ROTFL. What I do find hilarious is that Grey's Anatomy makes...

    What I've Decided About my Education

    Orion81RN replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    OP has a history of simply stirring the pot for the sake of it. OP you already posted a thread regarding this issue not too long ago. We know your thoughts. We've shared ours. ADN vs BSN has been...

    Double diapering alert patients who ask? I think it's neglectful. However...

    Ha! I didn't realize I used the same wording. Wasn't intentional

    Orion81RN replied to Surfin USA's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, how ridiculous. I'm not seeing one single comment in favor of neglect. As an aside, if you do not wish to take the advice of not using your picture, you do you. You'll see on your own how far...

    Fall with injury in ltc

    Orion81RN replied to Nrsvn11's topic in General Nursing

    I second this. Plus, its exactly what CNAs complain about with nurses. This doesn't help our case as nurses that we really are too busy much of the time to toilet patients. Anyway, your nursing...

    Nervous about surgery

    Orion81RN replied to TNnurse01's topic in General Nursing

    That is medical advice, something your nurses and surgeon should be able to answer. I can offer up my experience, but everyone is different. Plus my surgery was about 10 years ago. I let them know...

    What floor did you like best as a CNA/PCT?

    Orion81RN replied to Randrews8902's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was about to reply with Post Partum, then thought I should actually read your post first. Lol. Then of course I saw you want to be a Midwife. I enjoyed PP very much as a patient care tech. Real...

    I don't know how I could've handed this differently

    Orion81RN replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I completely lost my cool once when a family member who called multiple times a shift called one night to "ask" me to go in his wife's room and help her. (Her call light was on and she had called...

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Orion81RN replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    "Feminist" screams war between the sexes. How did you not expect critics? Have you not realized that the very word has become quite triggering in the past few years? I repeat my earlier post. Go back...

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Orion81RN replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    If you have to repeatedly reply to "every critique," perhaps you should consider that you did not prove your thesis. You can either accept that others do not hold your beliefs and that that is ok, or...

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Orion81RN replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    So you assume you speak for all males on the topic? Another male cannot counter with his contrasting opinion? Interesting. It does go along with your 'all males lack empathy' and 'all females approach...

    It's Does No Good To Gripe About Nursing

    Orion81RN replied to EGspirit's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll tell you exactly what I did. I did NOT shut my mouth when work kept piling more and more on to the point where it was downright dangerous. I spoke up, and so did my fellow coworkers. I finally...

    It's Does No Good To Gripe About Nursing

    Orion81RN replied to EGspirit's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So just be ok with status quo? No. I will continue to advocate for myself, my peers and most importantly, my patients. As human beings, we all, nurses and patients, deserve safer environments. I do...

    How do you respond to competitive peers?

    Orion81RN replied to conjer's topic in General Students

    I ignored it and was pretty non-sociable. I went to class and lived my life OUTSIDE of school. All around I would see groups of "friends" talking and laughing, but when separated, hear them talk ABOUT...

    New to Nursing, and transferring schools

    Orion81RN replied to liljodeye's topic in General Students

    Speak with your school's guidance counselor. They can best answer your questions. But, no, you would not have to continue taking classes if all your pre-reqs are

    I think I might've messed up my transcript entry
