    Why Do Nurses Quit?

    While I wouldn't call that nurses experience "bullying", it was not appropriate for the oncoming nurse to question her care so loudly that everyone fell quiet and it was heard by family and/or...

    Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    People get marketing degrees with many different career goals. Not everyone majoring in chemistry has the same career goal. Not everybody getting a nursing degree needs to have the same career goal....

    ADHD Student on Rampage

    OP, I looked at your profile, and if I am understanding correctly, you are not a licensed nurse, but are a CMA (which is fine). Is that correct? Is there an RN or an NP that covers several schools...

    Is the Grass Really Greener on the CNP side?

    It's not the right move for everyone - there are a lot of paths to success (however you as an individual define it). Personally, I chose to go back to school because as an ICU RN I sometimes felt like...

    Disclosure and mental illness

    I would say no, that still doesn't count as having your illness interfere with your job. In my book, anyway. Whether it is a day, a week, or a month - when you are on medical leave, you are not at...

    Disclosure and mental illness

    Well, I mean, my diabetes doesn't prevent me from doing my job effectively. Unless I have a serious episode of hypoglycemia or go into DKA, at which time I can't work because of the flare-up from my...

    Less support from friends

    By the end of college, I was in touch with exactly zero friends from high school. People grow up, change, life moves on. Friendships come and go in life. You will get out into the "real world" and...

    RACISM IN NURSING

    I cannot believe someone would do such a thing! Was she trying to kill you?? What is wrong with that woman?? I am so glad you realized before you drank that. She is lucky if being fired was the only...
  11. You know, they would never make the question, "what would a doctor love to do to an attractive patient?" I think that not many people would think that question was okay, because that would be assault...
  12. I've never had a problem with a nurse being the parent of one of my patients (I work in pediatrics). I DID have a difficult time once when the parent of my patient was an adult surgeon at the...

    Motorcyclist nurses out there?

    I am tempted now to post this in the Hobbies off duty as a nurse thread just so you know that I have jokes too....but I used to work with a nurse who rode her motorcycle too and from work almost every...

    Nursing student getting abuse from instructor

    I wonder (and this may or may not be the case in this instance)....but I wonder if the instructor expected more from OP because they knew OP was talented and capable of meeting those expectations....
  15. Out of those 4 answers that were on the show (sponge bath, rectal temp, BP, needle stick), only one even makes sense in the twisted world where nurses are trying to sleep with their patients anyway. I...

    Why do parents think schools are daycares?

    The two viewpoints (guy in article, and nurses here) are coming from such different starting logic, no wonder there is a disagreement. I think both would agree that a primary function of the school...

    Nursing student getting abuse from instructor

    And if they DO care about you one way or the other, I would guess that they actually do want you do succeed. Nurses don't tend to become educators for the fantastic salary involved. They do it...

    HELP

    My advice would be to try not to freak out. Lots of people take these types of medications, and the drug tests might take a little longer because they have to do extra testing to make sure that its...
  21. What would I want to do to a hot male patient? Hmmm....I guess I would want to provide interventions and monitor his condition in order to help him returned to his optimal level of wellness. Is...

    Signing off on another nurses paperwork

    Here is a possible suggestion if the other nurse only got half of the sheet of paper filled out and it is now being passed on to you: have them sign that form, and either "X" out the blank sections...
  24. Every year the nurses do something cute and crafty for our patients families - footprints of the babies turned into reindeer, ornaments with each kids name on them, etc. The nurses station also was...

    Pregnancies on Campus

    We recently had a lecture in school about how to get through to the adolescent brain. Basically, they said that teens have less dopamine overall than adults, but novel/pleasurable experiences lead to...
