We use TB needle

Funny. Sounds good

Clearly you haven't read any of my responses. I asked no questions in my original post. I did not post this for kuddos. In fact, the opposite. I shared this so I could get feedback and confirm how I already felt after this happened. Where did I say anything to " bring down othere"? There is no reason to be rude. You have no idea how thick my skin is because you don't know me or what I've been through. I'll AGAIN thank all of those who have offered sound constructive feedback in a non-demeaning manner.

She did look like a cancer patient. I think I wanted to save her money the most out of anything and I didn't think before I spoke (currently trying to install my filter☺) Very good point you make!

Really, I am posting anonymously about a mistake I made and learned from, hoping others will too. A lot of these posts are not nice and don't offer any constructive feed back, like this one.

No, he was white male with a "quirk" about him😉

She bought the saline. ...#facepalm #footinmouth. Lol. I'm going to say this again. IN RETROSPECT, PRETTY MUCH IMMEDIATELY AFTER I COOLED OFF, I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID ANYTHING. I MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT HIS BEHAVIOR TO ME AS A CUSTOMER NOT A NURSE AND HOW RUDE HE ACTED TO ME. MY EGO MAY HAVE BEEN HURT A LITTLE BIT I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO BE HUMBLED SOMETIMES, THAT WAS ONE OF TIME. AGAIN, I LEARNED MAY A LESSONS THAT DAY THAT WILL MAKE ME A BETTER LEADER AND PROFESSIONAL IN THE FUTURE! I APPRECIATE THOSE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY GAVE ME RESPECTFUL FEEDBACK

For the record, I have the utmost respect for those who have worked hard and earned advanced degrees. My problem was the manner in which he approached me and what I felt as disrespect in a consumer and professional transaction

Thanks for all the feed back, also the grammar corrections. I pretty much knew in retrospect that I should have kept my mouth shut, my intentions were not to make the pharmacist look bad. I'm developing in many aspects of my professional demeanor. I make mistakes to learn from them and better my next decision. With that in mind and coming from a customer service career history, I would have never spoke or treated a customer that way. I learned from the Doctor as well.

I was at a Walgreens pharmacy waiting with my mom for her scripts to be filled. An elderly woman, wearing a pink ball cap and sparce, thinned gray hair approached the counter. I could hear her conversation without even trying to listen. She asked the pharmacist what she should cleanse a small cut with. The pharmacist told her to use saline and pointed to were it was so she could buy some. As she passed me, I did not know the pharmacist was making his way behind her, I politely said, "ma'am, I wasn't trying to ease drop, but you can just use soap and water and save some money, I'm a Nurse." The pharmacist came right up behind me, moved in front of my face and said, "I don't think she asked you, she asked me" as he swayed that neck left to right. Well, I was pissed at how rude he was, I went and talked to the manager, then went back to the counter to pick up scripts. He came to the register and stood behind the cashier and said, "Just so you know, I have a PhD, and I know more you do" My jaw dropped and told him his PhD sure didn't teach him how to treat others. He kept arguing with me and mom. Finally, I had to walk away after he told me, "My name is Dr. Peebles " after telling him I was going to contact coporate and file a complaint. Uggg, I know I was sticking my nose out but he didn't have to act so hateful Rant over, TY

I'm on a Intermediate care post cardiac surgery. 1:4 on days, 1:4-5 on nights

3x in a rolling calender. On the 4th we get a warning, 5th is a write up

Start your prerequisites as soon as you can. There are really a lot that have to be done prior to RN-BSN programs. It's taking forever to get them done ugg

They are the same thing, just different credentialing bodies. The Med Surg RN -BC through ANCC is more credible to me, they do Magnet.

I didnt, but I'm a freak of nature lol. I also graduated nursing school on may 7, got authorization from BON to test on May 8 and took my NCLEX on may 10 Waketech has free only math tutorials, but I can't remember how to find them on the website, you could call the advisor, they should know
