  4. Is it me, or...?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to herewegoagain7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Racism knows no boundaries. Any one race can form an alliance and decide to 'payback' any or all others. I believe African-Americans are more verbal about racism because we've endured it for so long....

  5. Did you initially think you weren't going to like nursing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a little girl, about 5 or 6, my parents told me to "get up, it's time to go to school". I wasn't given a choice in the matter. So I did that for the next 12 years. When I turned 18, my dad...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Peteypab's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, you'll probably catch things from persons before they become patients (if you haven't already done so), and won't realize it until your next thorough physical...depending on what testing you...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to guest723's topic in General Nursing

    If the sciences do not come easy for him, then it's in his best interests to not take two together. It's not a "new thing"; more like a common sense thing....to put it bluntly with no intent...

  13. I think I don't want to be a Nurse anymore.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to guest723's topic in General Nursing

    You should have listened when you heard that it was not recommended to take two sciences together. I received my ASN 6 years ago. During that pursuit, I always took a class that I viewed as a...

  21. I lost my first patient... how do you cope?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Kharma711's topic in General Nursing

    Had you not gone to work for that shift, it would have been another nurse standing in your shoes. Giving pain meds (in itself) does not save anyone. It simply makes the condition a little more...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Kharma711's topic in General Nursing
