    Professionalism....name your irritation here!

    OrganizedChaos replied to LobotRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Omg I hate that! When they look all around for me to tell me they want water or something simple. They wasted all that time when they could've just done it themselves.

    Shift Work vs Monday to Friday - Which would you prefer?

    OrganizedChaos replied to MaleNurseYH's topic in General Nursing

    I think each shift has pros & cons. 12 hour shifts: you never get off after 12 hours so it's more like 14/15. I usually worked 3 on 2 off, 2 on 3 off. The first day off I spent decompressing, the...

    Is the student pregnant?

    OrganizedChaos replied to RNqueens's topic in School

    I feel bad for the student & the nurse. The staff put the nurse in such an awkward position just because they were gossiping & wanted to know if the student was pregnant or not. Then the poor...

    Oh trust me, she loves him! She even taught him in school. I think that just proves how well kids can hide things when they don't want their parents to

    Is the student pregnant?

    OrganizedChaos replied to RNqueens's topic in School

    This is what scares me about being a parent. Yikes! I know kids can hide things well. My husband did all sorts of drugs & his mother -who is a teacher- still doesn't know.

    Yes. But you just won't be able to access your phone or study guides. You could cancel your test for that. Good luck on your

    OrganizedChaos replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He can question the nurse without ruining his reputation on the floor. A simple question like, "Shouldn't we be wearing PPE now?" Going to the NM with all his concerns while on orientation would burn...

    I hate night shift

    OrganizedChaos replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

    No matter what shift you work you won't be around your husband 100% of the time. It's called working. Even if you're a SAHM he'd work & you'd be at home. If I were you I'd stay at your current...

    I hate night shift

    OrganizedChaos replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

    We are supportive. We have told her many ways she could help herself. Heck, I was even in her shoes before. Crying uncontrollably because I missed my husband. It's not healthy. I miss my husband every...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

    Just because we don't all share the same view points doesn't mean the comments are negative. Why doesn't everyone say that just because they don't hear what they want? That's not healthy either....

    What would you do?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Christinajoannne's topic in General Students

    I would've spoke up. Being a doctor isn't as glamorous as they think. Plus they have to work their butts off to make that much money. They aren't gonna walk out of med school & residencies making...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is gone for two weeks but the moment he comes home is willing to help me with anything. There should be no reason your husband doesn't help. My husband is even willing to quit his job &...

    OrganizedChaos replied to charky93's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'd look at jobs in your area, look at what they want & how competitive the job market is. I know here I could get a job with an ADN. But if I were to move 2 hours north to a bigger city I would...

    Crazy clinicals instructor doesn't like us using the restroom?

    OrganizedChaos replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    That's not right, you can't be expected to not eat, drink or use the bathroom for 12 hours! Why would the nurses even go along with her shenanigans??? I would bring this up the chain of command. The...

    No, it's normal to miss someone, it's not normal to miss someone the amount you are & to cry that much over it. It's great that he is your best friend & "the love of your life". But it sounds...

    If you're thinking of advanced practice I would skip getting your ADN & go directly to getting your BSN. Especially since a lot of hospitals prefer BSN prepared nurses too. But if for certain...
