    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    She said she joined AN WAAAY back when she was in nursing school because she wasn't sure that she wanted to be a nurse. ? But I don't think she logs on often. Since I had my son I feel like there has...

    She always has an excuse for something. Together her & her boyfriend have 5 cats & she refuses to lie about the number they have. I've done it before & never had a problem. She just acts...

    My friend is still looking for work

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Her mom apparently has oil money because they're drilling on her land. Her mom even offered to help her & get boyfriend buy a house. I think she won't ever get a job as nurse. She doesn't have...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    She doesn't have any loans, her mom paid for school. She turned down the job because of the two year agreement. When she did that she essentially blacklisted herself from that hospital. I thinks...

    My friend is still looking for work

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I do need a break from her. All she does is drain me. She will send me multiple, long texts about how bad things are going. I've ran out of sympathy. I don't know why she even applied for that job...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Update: She was offered a position in the town I live in, but she turned it down. The job had a 2 year commitment/$2500 sign on bonus. We even offered her lodging so she could stay & work there....

    Inducing vs. Waiting

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    What would you suggest? I know inducing can cause a long a painful labor & could possibly lead to a c section. So would you suggest to a patient to wait until it happens

    Inducing vs. Waiting

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I ended up being induced at 37x4 weeks. But I had severe n/v, couldn't keep anything down then I had a seizure & they admitted me. So my OB thought it was best to induce me. I honestly wish I...

    OrganizedChaos replied to j0yegan's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I just had my first, he was a surprise baby. I thought much like you. I want to focus on me, have me time & not be responsible for anyone. I liked spending time with other people's kids because I...

    OrganizedChaos replied to belsi73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know a former coworker who is going through them. I didn't want to say anything negative but once she started talking about how they provide study materials I just shook my head. Hopefully she does...

    Are your choice of scrubs childish?

    OrganizedChaos replied to rose89's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Pretty much what the PP said. I haven't worked anywhere that had a mandated uniform so since I usual work peds I wear what is acceptable for the job. I think regardless of what nursing I do I couldn't...

    OrganizedChaos replied to 2bNurseHammonds's topic in General Students

    I'll update my situation. I went to the ER last Friday for n/v, I ended up having a seizure & they admitted me. I was induced today at 37.4, my baby had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck...

    The Worst Hospital Visitor I've Ever Seen

    OrganizedChaos replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would've kicked that man out after he made that comment about killing the dogs. Not only do I feel horrible for the dogs but the woman as well. She's trying to recover & the expletive of a...

    I have officially stopped caring. I gave her every suggestion I could & she doesn't do anything. Hospitals have their pick of nurses, why should they choose her over a new grad? I would feel bad...
