  1. Nurse Imposters

    Doumbia replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is legal to call oneself a "nurse" unless they are actually a licensed nurse, RN or LPN. Calling Yourself a Nurse Is a Crime, No Less In WA state it's pretty common unfortunately for...

  2. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    Doumbia replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, while the letter writer's language might be a little frustrated and harsh, I largely agree with him. I'm a female nurse. I'm more on the side he describes. I see, often, management applying the...

  3. Emotionally unbalanced supervisor?? Please help!

    Doumbia replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "It was a terrible review, out of nowhere, with no suggestions for improvement. Stuff like 'you administer medications safely, but you struggle with iv starts sometimes, so you are not progressing as...

  4. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    Doumbia replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    SaggieRN87..... excellent, articulate response. Wow!!

  5. Do you ever want to escape nursing profession?

    Doumbia replied to thida's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting how the term "essential employees" seems to be a mandate to treat employees badly and with absolute disrespect... such as sending a person home after they have made the effort to be there,...

  6. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    Doumbia replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Wuzzie, agree with much of what you say, but disagree in that I find it appropriate that the oncoming nurse publicly humiliated the new nurse. What age are we, are we in grade school? I have worked...

  7. I hate nursing

    Doumbia replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps part of her dislike for the job is working with nurses with your attitude,

  8. Why I'm leaving nursing

    Doumbia replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would have been out after the HIV stick. Hope you are ok health-wise. In my opinion, most of the problems in healthcare are caused by bare-bones staffing as a way of doing business, by...

  9. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    Doumbia replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    Your cooking sounds fantastic, actually!

  10. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    Doumbia replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree, the stereotypes just need to die. Am a nurse and massage therapist, have been asked occasionally by morons if my massages have "happy endings" or similar type questions about nursing. But not...

  11. Seeking advice from all you Introverted nurses out there...

    Doumbia replied to jk2185's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love this... this is how I feel :-) Very well

  12. How old is too old to become a new RN?

    Doumbia replied to CathyH's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about dental hygiene? Or would you be able to work as an RN in oral surgery, is that what you meant? I have a friend who obtained ADN at age 60. She had a previous degree in an...

  13. To The Girl Thinking of Becoming a Nurse (a note to myself at 17)

    Doumbia replied to BobiJo's topic in General Nursing

    This really is lovely and poignant, and for me, wistful, I guess. "That the days of not knowing your purpose are over." That, for me personally, is the part that made me feel wistful, sad. After 14...

  14. Amber Does the Unthinkable

    Doumbia replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    IMO she did the right thing, as the one responder mentioned, the hospital is quick to throw the individual nurses under the bus, often after staffing is inadequate and workflow too overwhelming for...

  15. Should I leave this racist town?

    Doumbia replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh god.... I will be a different voice here, but I say LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE, get the hell out of dodge. It sounds absolutely awful. I would say it sounds like the Southeast, but I live actually in the...

  16. Weed and work.

    Doumbia replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Pre-employment testing seems common (hospitals) but not necessarily otherwise. It's interesting that the overwhelming tone is that folks think a person who uses mmj is a crazed impaired drug addict....
