Sadly this is true- someone has to pay for healthcare 'reform' and that will be in the form of taxes, and higher private insurance paid for by working people- which technically isn't raising taxes!! :angryfire

You know everyone has "attractions" but you are treading on dangerous territory. I suggest you find a therapist & get some help before you do something really stupid that you will regret!

Ha, yes, we just had this discussion! I mean you have to be pretty blitzed to not notice your dog's chewing your face off!! Add that to the fact that she smokes like a fiend, and prior to the attack she was depressed & suicidal, & she doesn't sound like a good candidate-- never mind motivated to help herself in any way!! The only reason she noticed her face being chewed was she didn't have LIPS to put her cigarette between when she woke up from her stupor & tried to light one up!! I am hearing that the french just wanted to be first to try this procedure. Too bad she doesn't seem too appreciative of her 2nd chance! It's very sad that she may hinder her own healing & chance of a better life b/c of her own poor choices.

Also, what kind of unit do you work on?? Are these critical care patients?

I would mind my business & not be the "reporter of dishonesty" in this instance. Surely there's enough to keep you busy to let this one go & frankly it's none of your business. Ultimately he hurts no one but himself; & don't be so sure the instructor is oblivious to this-- he may be more on top of things than you're giving him credit for.

Where I went to college, we learned to start IV's in the classroom on each other! We also practiced many other things on dummies & then in the hospital setting. I realize most (if any) of that is not taught in school anymore, and the focus is on passing a test that is maybe 1/2 as intense as yrs ago-- ALL THE MORE REASON to come out of school w/an open mind & a license to "learn" as one poster put it. A new grad will learn alot more if she is willing to learn from others' experience, and ask plenty of questions-- rather than 'pretend' to know it all-- exposure to many ideas & situations will help the new grad. gradually gain confidence-- it takes years though, and the attitude displayed by the OP is only a block to true learning. I've only seen a handful of new grads who weren't grateful for the experience & input of us experienced nurses. I have to hope this is the exception rather than the rule & that it isn't the trend of the future.

you.....just.........don't...........GET IT!!!!:stone

You know, you have to do what feels right for YOU. If it were me, I'd go to school part-time- you're already working & w/2 children. Your little ones need you & you can never get that time back-- it is too precious to miss!
