  1. 3 on and 6 off schedule

    brido posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, Have any of you ever worked a schedule of 3 12 hour shifts and off 6 in a row? I've never heard of that specific on/off rotation and I'm curious if this is common? Thank

  2. 3 on and 6 off schedule

    brido replied to brido's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. it is night shift and I think I am going to grab it. Yes, it's not technically full time, but luckily I don't need full-time right now. My only concern is the 3 in a row. Right now it's not...

  3. What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    brido replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I was brought up in a home where sex was taboo, no medical/biological terms were used and I didn't know what my period was when I first got it. I panicked when I saw blood and my mother just told me...

  4. Least stressful nursing specialty

    brido replied to Svkd's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on how one handles stress. For example, some people find the ER extremely stressful because of the unknown. Others thrive on the unknown. To me, if it's nursing, then it's

  6. Anyone have nightmares?

    brido replied to dec2007's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have that nightmare about once a week. Another common theme is totally forgetting about a patient or 2, or giving the wrong medications. Or that I cannot work the machines

  9. I feel nursing is more of a calling than anything else

    brido replied to Tarrus Eliuds's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Nursing is not my calling. I do not believe in God. Nursing appealed to me because of the flexibility, hours, science, the ability to help others, etc. However, just because it wasn't a calling for...

  10. I saw another nurse assault a patient

    brido replied to morman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm an atheist and I think your post is out of line. Why can't someone discuss their faith on a non-religious forum? Why is that so offensive? Did toomuchbaloney try to force it on anyone else? No, so...

  12. Advice on creepy doctors?

    brido replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, when you call a victim of sexual assault/harassment a "pansy", be prepared to get a reaction. What does "I don't apologize for expecting women who claim that they can do and have it all, and are...

  14. Advice on creepy doctors?

    brido replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I respect this. I just think that people need to realize that not everyone is able to fight someone off right away. Too many people say "well I would have done xyz...why didn't YOU do that? That is so...

  15. Advice on creepy doctors?

    brido replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Who are you to "question her response?" And what is wrong with her response? Just because she didn't kick him where it hurts does not mean that she is responsible for what happened. Again, people...

  16. Advice on creepy doctors?

    brido replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have no right to say she allowed this to continue for so long. She told him that his advances were unwelcome and told him to stop. She is not to blame. He is. End of story. Most men have no idea...

  17. Advice on creepy doctors?

    brido replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, not everyone is like you. People have many reasons for their reactions. How are you helping the OP in any way? Making her feel even worse because she is a "pansy?" Way to pile on someone when...

  19. Advice on creepy doctors?

    brido replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I disagree. Predators don't "get the message." This can totally backfire or he will just continue to harass/assault the OP when her husband isn't

  20. Advice on creepy doctors?

    brido replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He is a predator, sexual offender, whatever you want to call it. He is entitled, therefore, he thinks he has the right to put his hands on her and assault her. I hope you're not implying that somehow...

  21. Travel nursing

    brido replied to Bleumorgan's topic in Travel

    First of all, you hijacked a thread which is rude. Second, nobody can answer that question for you. It depends entirely on the individual. How would anyone else know what is best for

  22. "Wait for the nurse"

    brido posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hello, I am not a nurse nor a nursing student. However, I brought this up with a few nurse friends and just want some more feedback. I've been dealing with my doctor's office quite a bit with visits...

  23. "Wait for the nurse"

    brido replied to brido's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not positive. I never even thought of it until she mentioned they are Medical Assistants and RNs and LPNs generally don't perform those duties in an office

  24. "Wait for the nurse"

    brido replied to brido's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We do live in the same area. She said nurses (RNs and LPNs) are rare in doctors offices. But maybe this particular office does hire

  25. "Wait for the nurse"

    brido replied to brido's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you so much for your replies! It doesn't sit well with me that they're doing this. I can definately see why she is upset. And I know she probably didn't want to explain too much to me, since I'm...
