  1. Sabotaging in nursing

    that's not irony. it's unfortunate for her, maybe for the hospital too cause they need someone. but it's not ironic. Irony is an outcome that is contrary to what was expected. she was not expected...
  2. Sabotaging in nursing

    I'm having trouble following, too. partly due to the lack of paragraphs. also, I don't think you know what irony means...that situation you described isn't ironic. You not getting a position that...
  3. Why???? Are?? They?? Failing???

    That's a very broad generalization. I always say to others on this board, just because you studied doesn't guarantee you will pass. In our school, second semester was the weed out class. the exams...
  4. How do people feel about male nurses?

    I'm not sure that's a bad thing? Heaven forbid someone wants to move up the food chain. Who's to say that they only became nurses to become administrators? If I'm offered a promotion, I'm taking...
  5. How do people feel about male nurses?

    Rape? that's a very serious accusation. Thankfully I've never had that happen - specially since the charge wouldn't stand since I'm gay - but that is terrible to do to
  6. The effects of not reporting harassment

    A bit of a difference between a drug addict and a fresh post op, though, right? I think a doctor yelling at a drug addict might actually be beneficial in his case, vs a vulnerable fresh post op....
  7. The effects of not reporting harassment

    Doctors are people too. You have your good, and you have your bad. I'm just not believing doctors treat patients the way some of the events are being described here. And also, we live in a...
  8. Abuse/ negligent med error?

    if it's facility protocol to do it that way, then she was in line with her scope of practice. it is up to the nurse to accommodate the patient's
  9. The effects of not reporting harassment

    Maybe it's just me but I am reading a lot of sassiness in OP's opening post in the way words were exchanged - the way you say something matters, regardless of how neutral the content of that message...
  10. boundaries

    ^ I kinda agree. why is this being brought up now? what lingering feelings do you the OP still have? It doesn't seem like it's about that nurse
  11. Fragrance Sacrifice

    I do ONE spritz and that's it. Arm's length, and walk into it. cause I have a sensitive nose too, so even on myself I don't want it too overpowering. another thing people don't realize is that the...
  12. Fragrance Sacrifice

    It's a fine line to walk. I don't mind a faint smell, but some people lay it on thick. and I think those are the people who are offending olfactory
  13. File this one under "things I think but won't say"...

    This is not a
  14. Travel time

    I'm about 10 miles away. My requirement is under 45 mins travel time for any job, because I add on an extra 15 mins for any unforeseen delays and I am willing to only sacrifice 1 hour traffic time...
  15. Why???? Are?? They?? Failing???

    There are many individual factors. A lot of students are older and juggle family and a job while doing the rigors of nursing school. I worked full time nights when I was in nursing school. There...
  16. Do you see ethnic tensions at work?

    A perfect example I can think of is the doctors. Here a lot of our doctors come from India, and I know of the caste system over there, and there are some who bring that over here. You hear it in the...
  17. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    I agree that this thread should be hidden from the public view due to the content and nature of the topic. putting it on fb probably isn't the best idea, as you can see it attracted
  18. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    that is interesting. but as I guy, I can also share this with you ladies - we're a lot smaller than the Media stars. there's a reason why they're in Media - they were gifted from birth. Most guys...
  19. oh, now I see what RNdynamic meant. Sorry RNdynamic, I totally misread your

    PS, people from the Philippines are Filipino, not
  21. I think you are presumptuous in your assessment of what "many people" consider to be part of their family... You are correct an in-law isn't a biological part of a family. But it seems like you are...
  22. What to do

    seems like you and all the others accusing members of armchair quarterbacking are taking this too personal. No one has expressed any negative thoughts about LTC nursing per se. At least not in this...
  23. 16 Ice creams

    I really thought this was about ice cream... OP I got a headache reading your post. why I continued to do so? cause I'm bored. Anyway, we have a few patients like yours and we ended up just...
  24. Nursing license

    THIS. Just...how does that even
  25. What to do

    I'm sorry, I had to like the above post. As harsh as it came off as, OP, you sound negligent. I mean you and your whole facility withheld a medication because of your ineptitude; nothing to do with...
