   Your posts precisely reflect my mindset pretty much all shift. I couldn't have said it any better. And I feel like I too am getting a bad attitude about my profession... but you're 100% right - it's ridiculous!

2. what's your pet peeve?

   Toastedpeanut replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

   THIS is why I've moved to night shift, and will never do days ever again! The family members and their demands and complaints. It made my shifts so grueling, I even thought of leaving nursing! Not so anymore, thanks to the nights. I hate when the doc...

5. Initial Drug Test

   Toastedpeanut replied to Damiapa's topic in General Nursing

   I'm surprised they considered 30 ng/dl to be positive (unless this was your confirmation test results). In my opinion, I don't think your career is ruined & I'm glad your school won't report you to the board. I hope they'll allow you to graduate....

   Toastedpeanut replied to paidmydues's topic in Recovery

   Have y'all seen this class action lawsuit: Class Action against HPRP Filed by Michigan Health Professionals I saw this from another AN member and wanted to share it here. I think more nurses in more states need to come together on this issue.

12. What offends you (nursing related)?

    Toastedpeanut replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    1- When the waitress comes to get my plate and says, "Dang, you ate that whole thing?" 2- When people drive way too close to my rear bumper. 3- While a patient is coding and the person in the next bed asks for their food to be heated up. But I think ...

13. What offends you (nursing related)?

    Toastedpeanut replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    To a lot of people, complaining like this makes them feel better, even if temporarily. It's exactly like passing gas if you think about it. I agree though, this becomes tiring!

    Toastedpeanut replied to Alanna_Kayy's topic in Career Support

    I went through the same anxieties & fears when I graduated in December 2012. I passed the NCLEX in March, and had been to 3 interviews. I must have submitted over 60 applications (in a medium-sized city)... the second interviewer hired me. I star...
