  1. Whatdaya think this is?

    SeattleJess replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yes, it is. This one gets my vote, too. Also, "No skull fracture!" Shucks, they are all pretty great and I blame this thread for keeping my butt in a chair on a beautiful summer day. Heading out...

  4. Disgusting Icky Stickies: Nurse Protect Yourself

    SeattleJess replied to Jacqueline.Damm's topic in General Nursing

    AWESOME article! This is going to be one of my selections for the AN article award for summer 2015. As for the caps, heck, if you wrote the entire article in caps I would understand. How can nurses...

  5. A less stressfull career choice

    SeattleJess replied to jherd's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is ROUGH to change to a new culture and to entry level at that after a successful career! I wonder, also, whether your needs for respect and autonomy are getting tweaked by not being met in the...

  6. Accused of narcotic/ alcohol abuse... No clue what this is about!

    SeattleJess replied to Purplegiraffe's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful about recording conversations without disclosure to all parties that you are recording and permission to do so. In some states, including Washington, stealth recording w/o permission will...

  7. Stethoscope/clinical supplies

    SeattleJess replied to msbossb's topic in General Students

    Yes, but it looks so cool, just like on TV! Several of my classmates bought "holsters" for their stethoscopes. Amazon.com: Prestige Medical Stethoscope Holder, Black: Health & Personal Care I...

  8. Help!

    SeattleJess replied to adsanders1963's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My knee-jerk reaction to your question was "What is he trying to avoid?" Those maxed out student loans would be occupying my attention. Also, by the time you knock off your prerequisites (if not...

  11. Cried at work today.

    SeattleJess replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Absolutely. I want the same outcome, but for me, it's just not realistic with chronic sleep-deprivation (and the poor nutrition and stress hormones that seem to come with that.) Be gentle with...

  12. Why is it inappropriate to stand up for yourself?

    SeattleJess replied to remotefuse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly this. OP asked for feedback about her behavior. Comments on the physician's behavior are not relevant. Believe me, I understand how difficult it is to hear feedback about where one's own...

  13. Curious-why do people put ADN, RN? It's ASN...

    SeattleJess replied to RN_SummerSeas's topic in General Nursing

    Lowly student here but hopefully with relevant content. My school offers the "nursing associate in applied arts and sciences" degree or "AASN" designation. It's the basic two-year...

  15. Noncompliant diabetic patients

    SeattleJess replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    What llg said. Food is much more than nutrition. It is culture, nurture, anger management and much more. Not saying it should be, just that it is. Learning to change eating patterns is not an easy...

  16. Should I purposely fail my class?

    SeattleJess replied to Rilesss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And EXCELLENT advice it is! Test-taking has a huge mental component and your tips are great for that

  18. I Want To Support My Pre-Nursing Student Girlfriend. Please Help!

    SeattleJess replied to Fredled's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This quotation from noelly10 hits the nail on the head, in my opinion. The important takeaway for you from this discussion is, I believe, is "Ask her what she needs. Listen deeply. Do the best you can...

    SeattleJess replied to dcwang's topic in General Students

  22. Anyone hate nursing school then love being a nurse?

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I have one day to study for the final tomorrow and then the day after that is the final and then I have 100 days away from nursing school to work with patients...

  23. Anyone hate nursing school then love being a nurse?

    SeattleJess posted a topic in General Nursing

    I need to know because after one year I am hating nursing school. I won't bore anyone with listing the reasons why. (Or maybe I should?) For example, I love the patient contact part of clinical but I...
