  1. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Eternally unsatisfied patients, families...don't get me started ha ha. I have sympathy for patients to a greater or lesser degree, but families who threaten, abuse and attempt to bully staff, possibly...

  3. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I certainly wouldn't last in this job if I hated any group of patients, for a start. As with a lot of threads on the site, this one (although it could have been worded better), represents a genuine,...

    I didn't start the post, just commenting on it, like you

  5. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For the last time; I'm referring exclusively to people who are morbidly obese and not simply 'overweight' people. You've labelled me as some sort of shallow,biased ,hating, judgemental, fat-hater and...

  6. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    All I see in your response is 150lbs, but that's ok. Obviously you've had more experience on the matter. The fact that I'm working with is that most patients that I've had experience in (mostly...

  7. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I said over 150kg, not 150lbs (I'm 240!), bit of a difference, but you are right, certainly more to it then people think

  8. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have made many good points and I agree with most of what you've said. AS IVE POSTED EARLIER-there is a big difference between overweight, as a lot of people are, particularly what you have pointed...

  9. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So you're comparing for example cancer or elderly patients, situations that are out of the patients control, with obesity, a situation where the patient can, or at least could have, done something?...

  10. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Something else to complain about: every BP cuff being too small! The fact is most obese people are so because they eat too much. We can argue about medical conditions, slow metabolisms and whatever...

    Dragan replied to abiggie's topic in General Nursing

    Do it. The way I thought of it is 'if there is absolutely nothing else I achieve in life, at least I'm helping people'. If you're the main breadwinner then the money isn't ideal until you become a bit...

  14. NMC delay and put on queue this 2013. waiting for decision letter

    Dragan replied to furble's topic in Nurse Registration

    If only the NMC kept people updated, there would be much less stress and confusion. Its the poor communication which is more frustrating then the delays; if they could say 'you'll get such and such...

  15. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    Dragan replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Pass the buck to the duty nurse manager/after hours manager, this is the best option. I've seen good staff ask too many questions then the conflict continues when they see each other on the ward....

  16. Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Dragan replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As uncomforting as it is, I'm agreeing with the 'get used to it/it's here to stay' comments, which make it no easier. I'm also a male RN, I'm 240 pounds and 6'4 tall and -you know it-any manual...

  17. things said wrong that drive you crazy

    Dragan replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    On admission: Asking patients repeatedly if they have any medical history. They say no, they are healthy, you go through their 100 medications and notice Ramipril, Metoprolol etc. and ask 'so you've...

  18. suddenly its hard to land a job in Perth hospitals?

    Dragan replied to happytots's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I've just moved from Perth to London and I certainly sensed jobs weren't easy to come by anymore. I reckon find a community job and do that until you find a hospital job you like ? Good luck hunting....

  19. Delays on NMC Pin

    Dragan replied to Elovecklein07's topic in International Nursing

    I've been on the queue since for only two weeks now, I got the impression that it wouldn't take more then a month for the final letter to arrive, but am gearing up for a longer wait after reading some...

  21. NMC delay and put on queue this 2013. waiting for decision letter

    Dragan replied to furble's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hey guys, any updates? I'm confused a bit, is the decision letter you are referring to the one you receive telling you whether you need the ONP or a 3 month training period, or the one after the ONP?...
