  1. Nursing and waitressing/food service industry

    ArtClassRN replied to nursefrances's topic in General Nursing

    ArtClassRN replied to starnurse2b16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. SOB interventions on dialysis patients in ED

    ArtClassRN replied to 1fastRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hate to say this out loud, but many caregivers feel a little SOB is what they get for skipping dialysis and/or not being compliant with their lifestyle and med regimens. Not saying it's right but MS...

  6. Show Me the Money

    ArtClassRN replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Nursing

    You're taking it out of context. If it really is "all about the money" go play poker for a living, or drive a tow truck, or work in the financial

  7. Raises after annual review where you work

    ArtClassRN replied to 1fastRN's topic in General Nursing

    Union here. Pay raises based on step increases for hours worked and across the board raises negotiated in contracts. The more you work, the more you earn. I work hard and do the best I can because...

  8. Males asking for female patients?

    ArtClassRN replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    Meh. People can want whatever they want. I've had male patients tell me outright they want a female nurse because they think male nurses are gay. I remember one case in particular. I'm straight, but...

  11. Do you like your job?

    ArtClassRN replied to Toomanyhatsforme's topic in General Nursing

    I love my job. It's the most difficult job I have ever had, but it is what I want to do and I like doing it. You want an easy job? A glamorous job? A stress free job? Look somewhere

  12. Why are nurses not paid more?

    ArtClassRN replied to XcrMat's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This comparison doesn't work. I know nurses who buy NFL jerseys, tailgate, buy season tickets, or glue themselves to a TV to watch their favorite NFL team every chance they get. I don't know a...

  13. Would you apologize, if you'd done nothing wrong

    ArtClassRN replied to imintrouble's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just give the old "non apology" apology. "I'm sorry you feel that . We will try to meet your needs better in the

  14. Desperate for a day time job

    ArtClassRN replied to Enowagi's topic in Texas Nursing

    For you to get a day job, an additional one has to be created or someone has to quit or retire from a day job. Neither of those things are happening very often in this

  15. this is why people still think there's a nursing shortage!

    ArtClassRN replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    They weren't teaching anyone that when I was in school, no matter what the textbooks said. As an aside, when nursing textbooks talk about anything other than direct patient care, they are quite...

    ArtClassRN replied to Philly17's topic in Male Nursing Students

    So, I am looking to attend a CNA program with the Red Cross in the next couple of months, just to get my foot in the healthcare door, see if it definitely is the field I'd like to get into. I did my...

    ArtClassRN replied to Hotnurse06's topic in General Nursing

  18. Do grades really matter to future employers?

    ArtClassRN replied to sharapatan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My high grades were vital in getting a Summer Internship that led to a job offer. Average grades are not a death sentence, but doing extremely well in school comes with many

  22. Nursing tougher for guys than girls

    ArtClassRN replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think your entire line of thinking is absolute hogwash. Your post infers that you feel bad that girls are outperforming you; if guys performed better than you, you would not feel so bad....

    ArtClassRN replied to Trolloc63's topic in General Nursing

    "Tell me your greatest weakness" "I overprepare for standard interview

  24. Honest Question

    ArtClassRN replied to RNikkiF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because that is what these individuals do. I don't know why, but they probably freak out over everything in their lives. I have one coworker who always rushes in a few minutes late, then spends the...

  25. Dependent edema: scrotal swelling

    ArtClassRN replied to redbird1019's topic in General Nursing
