    jb2u replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    didn't bother me as 6-6-06 is actually 6-6-2006 and that is well....far away from 666! i didn't get the big hype with it

    jb2u replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    jb2u replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    jb2u replied to jls485's topic in Male Nursing Students

    jb2u replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    again, you may be one of the great nurses...you seem to be by your post, BUT...come on...change starts with a complaint. a complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction. i love nursing and as a...

  11. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    jb2u replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    i agree that sometimes it appears that the nurse is doing nothing, BUT first of all this nurse is an LPN that has worked at this hospital for 20+ years and is known to be VERY LAZY. the pt's daughter...

    jb2u replied to Annie2005's topic in General Nursing

    if you are talking about excelsior college to get a nursing degree then you have to be an lpn or paramedic or something like that. i looked into it and they use to allow certified medical assistants...

  15. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    jb2u replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    i agree 100%. i actually feel bad if a nurse ends up doing what i consider "my job", but we can not be everywhere at once and we have to remember we are there to HELP them not to do everything that...

  16. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    jb2u replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    as a cna/student nurse, i often find myself "sticking up" for nurses to my fellow cna's because i agree that they do not really know what all nurses do. that being said, it is hard to defend some...

  17. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    jb2u replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

  18. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    jb2u replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    i have to say, i hope i never, never, NEVER become a nurse that does not do total pt. care! i see how it can happen. no one really likes it, then you graduate and actually have the "option" to tell a...

    jb2u replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    i can understand that. at my school we do not do an er rotation though. my main thing is a lot of people forget about when they were students and how they were treated. we know we can get in the way...

    jb2u replied to ChadleyNC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    although my ob rotation was not as bad as i thought that it would be, i am glad it is over. the nurses on the floor, for the most part, were very accepting and stated that they would "love to have...

    jb2u replied to jb2u's topic in First Year After Licensure

    thanks for all the replys!! here you have to wait to pass your NCLEX before you even orientate (no patients involved). i could understand them not letting you lose on your own before you pass NCLEX,...

    jb2u replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    i say NAY! yes they have a right to the info in the chart, but the chart belongs to the hospital or office not the patient. if they want this info there is a reason that they must go through the...
