    General Nursing Melting Pot

    Emergent replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I hate the pile on threads. Some hapless soul says something awkward, or their comments are misinterpreted. Then, someone starts picking them apart, and everyone else follows suit. It goes on for...

    How do you deal with workplace discrimination?

    Emergent replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    America has a brash culture. It is often over the top. I think this might be a culture-clash. In this part of the world extraversion is overvalued. If someone is more reticent and introverted,...

    General Nursing Melting Pot

    Emergent replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    The general nursing forum is probably the only one allnurses actually needs. Otherwise, I've always felt it is too cluttered with sub forums. For example, I tried being active on the ER section,...

    Emergent replied to guest1076655's topic in General Nursing

    The diploma programs of yesteryear were excellent apprenticeship type systems that truly did utilize the hard work of nursing students. They built character in the young women, and took no-nonsense...

    Should I quit my program?

    Emergent replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    I'm fairly old school, and in my day if you were not physically able to do a job you were not given special treatment. Maybe the instructors that you feel have prejudged you are in that school of...

    Should I quit my program?

    Emergent replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you're getting my point, it doesn't matter what your intent was, what matters is the perception of the instructor. I'll bet anything you are coming across the wrong way. I speak from...

    Should I quit my program?

    Emergent replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    It's very difficult to judge all this from an internet post. I will say, many others have had experiences like this in nursing school. I had an instructor question whether I could ever be a nurse...

    How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    Emergent replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I suspect that you just wanted to bring up the issue of the existence of God, and so framed it as patient-related in your opening comments. I think it would be better if you were more...

    Emergent replied to RNthereyet?'s topic in General Nursing

    If you are happy where you are working, don't do it. If you want to see something else after the traveling is done, go ahead. They won't take kindly to the fact that you might create a staffing...
