  1. First week of nursing school and I just received a court summons.

    Truthfully... I wouldn't miss court, even if it is "just family court." Im dealing with family court for everything under the sun and they're all super important for myself and my children. I would talk to your profession and see if you can attend an...
  2. I didn't realize there was one in Michigan?
  3. LPN/LVN CEU

    In michigan ours is a lot more then 5. I don't know your states BON policy on CEU's but 5 probably isn't right. You could check with the website. It's probably 24 or 30 or something.
  4. Jane Doe, RN, AAS, BSN, MSN, CCRN BFD

    I totally agree with it is annoying and most people don't understand half of those anyway, but I'm trying to figure out why you think it's creepy?
  5. Strange CoWorker Stories

    This actually happened in April. She apparently was talking to minors (12 year olds) on xbox live. She's been doing it for years. Told people at work, our DON knew. Tried to get her mental help. Well, a few years back apparently one of the moms found...
  6. Strange CoWorker Stories

    When they're under the age of 16.... And you're talking to them in an adult manner and you visit them and buy them what their mom said they couldn't have. Ya know../
  7. accused of falsifying documentation

    I done this and when I ask what I do to fix it. My manager was trying to see if I could just delete it. (Couldn't) I just wrote a nurses note and went on my way. I don't think it's falsifying documention when you did it by accident and fixed it. Some...
  8. Quit during orientation

    True true. But... There is always someone.
  9. Quit during orientation

    Am I the only non-believer here? I feel like the story was true now OP is trying to save face.
  10. Strange CoWorker Stories

    I can't think of anything strange but I know a nurse (I'm assuming any day now she won't have a license) who got arrested in the middle of her shift. She was talking to people she shouldn't have been. It was a huge converstation piece at our facility...
  11. Quit during orientation

    That is why I became a nurse. To control my aides. I run after them and put them in timeout like bad CNA when they disobey. Now that you mention it, they did have a whole course in how to do mind control on aides. It's very helpful. You should see if...
  12. NCLEX shut off at 75,

    You actually have a lot of things on your side here, PVT pass result and minimum question cut off (I heard you have to be failing really really bad to be cut off that early if you failed). I just would breath and wait until your quick results come th...
  13. Apologies

    Cool story bro.
  14. Quit during orientation

    Where are these 60k-80k a year nursing jobs? I'd love one of those. I also do not get paid enough for what I do. Dealing with combative old people, or mentally unstable people. Dealing with death, unsupportive families... But it isn't about the money...
  15. Apologies

    Yeah okay nope.
  16. Head to Toe Red Scrubs

    It made sense after we were told this (the facility I worked at did some crazy training on it) and I noticed a short time later a dementia patient needing to urinate, so we walked him into his room and he decided open his walker basket up and urinate...
  17. Head to Toe Red Scrubs

    I never heard about the red causing elevated heart rates. I have heard dementia patients can't see white or black and you look like a floating head lol. We were told to wear brighter colors with dementia patients. I got more compliments from my patie...
  18. I'm a sexless nurse

    I'm sorry but this made me laugh-- your poor wife. I would be very angry if a nurse of 30+ years continued to ask me to cath their female patients and it has 0 to do with the patient themselves. I would eventually tell you to do it yourself. Can you ...
  19. I'm a sexless nurse

    What? No. I'm saying that if you feel like you cannot (due to your own personal feelings not anyone else's) do very important precedures on half, if not more of our patients why are you in this profession?
  20. I'm a sexless nurse

    And that's your choice and usually that's known about a particle patient before they're assigned nurses. However it sounds like OP is stating he just will not go near ANY female patients because he is a proud owner of a penis and that disqualifies hi...
  21. Pregnant student

    I'm not kidding either, I gave birth on a Tuesday and sat in class on Thursday..... The dummy in our lab saw a lot of breast pumping lol.
  22. Pregnant student

    I have birth my third level of nursing school. I had her May 20th and graduated Aug 20th. You can do it. You just gotta stay focused on yor health and studies. Don't stress out. Plan ahead like child care when baby is born and see if your school allo...
  23. I'm a sexless nurse

    I have 3 daughters ranging from 8-13 months and I am absolutely okay with a male professional nurse or doctor doing anything medically related to my child. Maybe it's time to hang the ol' scrubs up and call your career a day if this is truly how you ...
  24. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    Dang those fat old people who cannot drive and all have dementia.
  25. Desperately need advice please help!!!

    You know nurses work in other places besides hospitals and you can probably easily find an every other weekend job or per Diem.
