  1. Why is there so much drama in a field where we help people?

    liketheairport replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's really the same in ANY occupation. I'm not a nurse, I hope to be someday (maybe!), but it's like this anywhere you will work, no matter where. It's, you know,

  2. Please allow one quick interview?

    liketheairport replied to mtnWoman's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you'll find that learning how to face-to-face interview will give you much more insight and openness than an e-mail, phone call, or message board. I'm not a nurse, but I do have a degree in...

  3. No opinions please just facts

    liketheairport replied to wheresmyrights's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    While I take no issue with marijuana, and I am absolutely not saying you just have to "grow up and quit", even if you aren't randomly tested...if there is suspicion, and you live in an at-will...

  4. nurses and spelling

    liketheairport replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    In many languages across the world, the past tense doesn't exist. I believe Japanese is one. Most of the time, I believe I am grammatically correct and spelling properly. I feel that these things...

  5. What constitutes good communication skills?

    liketheairport replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Concise and to the point. Also, having open ears and a closed mouth can be very helpful to developing good communication skills. Ask questions to clarify information. All of those certainly helped...

  6. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I will still say your defintion of sociopath is really odd. The

  7. tatoos & piercings, part 2

    liketheairport replied to amoLucia's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Why are you assuming someone's political party just from one post? I wouldn't assume that unless someone said it. As far as the topic, I have a cartilage piercing that no one pays attention to and a...

  8. As a Nurse and a Patient

    liketheairport replied to KenH's topic in General Nursing

    I'd want my stern, but kind, mother. Or me (even though I'm not a nurse yet). I'll tell you what's what, but it won't be in a mean

  9. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    THIS. This

  10. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Still not sociopathy. Jerky, still not sociopathy. Foolhardy, still not

  11. The Commuter(s), Any and All RN's What's the real deal?

    liketheairport replied to cee cee g's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not a nursing student even, but I got an NCLEX book...and strangely, I get most of the questions correct. I think maybe it's one of those things where you psych yourself up so much, because this...

  12. Just need to put this out there. (venting)

    liketheairport replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And that is an example of more like sociopathic behavior more so than other posts on AN. I kid, of course, but that's what I thought when I read

  13. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Would it be horrible? Absolutely! But, sometimes things just HAPPEN. The employer is not out to get you. They're out to hopefully treat patients. It's your job. It's YOUR CHOICE to go in or not go...

  14. Didn't get into the CNA training I applied for

    liketheairport posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So, I applied to a local hospital's CNA training class. I didn't get in. That part didn't bother me so much as the "You have impressive qualifications, but we are pursuing other candidates" one line...

  15. Unrealistic nursing students

    liketheairport replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    As to the first point, just because someone's been there and done that, doesn't mean your experience will be the same as theirs. These are their journeys, no one else's. As to the second point, I'd...

  16. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I know that psychology isn't a mathematical science. But, there is a distinct correlation between sociopathy and being a criminal. And drawing attention to yourself. I know that not everyone fits...

  17. Nurses with Mental Illness: Share Your Self-Care Strategies

    liketheairport replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm dysthymic. I constantly have to remind myself that sometimes stuff just happens, that as long as I'm doing my very best it's OK if it doesn't turn out exactly how I wanted, and I am a capable,...

  18. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    ...They're supposed to thank you for coming in and doing your job? They are NOT LEGALLY REQUIRED to give you a shower and a place to sleep. You're not being abused, you're playing a martyr here. I...

  19. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    You chose to come in. You also chose to take that job 50 miles from where you live. Accept the consequences of that CHOICE and move

  20. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    And that was her CHOICE. That's the point people have been trying to make. No one's holding you hostage at work. No one's MAKING YOU come to work. Don't choose to stay and don't get P.O.d because...

  21. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    No one has threatened your life or safety, OP. It's doubtful they've insulted you or made any significant change to your emotional well-being. You are contracted to show up, most likely. Not...

  22. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    It's called work for a reason. Also, yes. It is their problem. Do you think I liked taking buses and having delays of an hour or more because of snow? No, of course not. It was still my problem,...

  23. Didn't get into the CNA training I applied for

    liketheairport replied to liketheairport's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Milwaukee Area Technical College does have a CNA program. That's the one with the hoops. I'm probably going with a different

  24. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    liketheairport replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Let's see, antisocial personality disorder, commonly referred to as sociopathy from DSM-IV-TR (which is slightly different in the DSM-V, but mostly similar): There is a pervasive pattern of disregard...

  25. How do you take NOTES in class during Nursing Scool?

    liketheairport replied to NursingStoodent's topic in General Students

    Also, if you can, use Google Drive. I love that I can really have all my documents on all devices, so long as I have a web browser pretty much. This means that if I need to go to the library or over...
