    Would this shirt get me into trouble in class?

    nursel56 replied to FloridaLPN19's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think in general when you're not completely familiar with the personalities in any group, including when you start a job, to avoid things containing a strong opinion or position on anything you even...

    One Thread Wonders

    nursel56 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    "Help, my preceptor keeps saying I have poor communication skills, and also I have issues with taking direction! To top it off today one of my coworkers actually said I'm inconsiderate of others!" So,...

    Home health RN vs Case Manager RN??

    nursel56 replied to aprilj90's topic in Home Health

    I can't say for all agencies but the difference is that the Case Manager is not usually doing the direct care at the bedside but responsible for start of service assessments, the OASIS form,...

    Did this patient overreact?!

    My coworkers dont like me because I bragged

    nursel56 replied to esrun13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Pretend it never happened. I can, however, relate to being stressed out and going into verbal overdrive. I learned in time that pretty much nobody remembers that stuff I was going on and on about,...

    Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

    nursel56 replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

    We're in no way saying you aren't welcome here. I think perhaps the disconnect happened as a result of different interpretations of mariawong's post. Here's what I noticed. She then proceeded to...

    Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

    nursel56 replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm sorry you didn't report it, and if your fear of not being believed simply because you're male was a major factor in that decision I'm just generally sorry that...

    Safe Nursing a thing of the past?

    nursel56 replied to butterball1980's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Butterball. I'm sorry you and your mother had such a difficult time on your visit to the ER and glad that it didn't turn out to be anything serious. Based on a number of anecdotal experiences...

    Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

    nursel56 replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry this happened to you, mariawong86. You did the right thing to report it, and to come here and vent. I don't understand why your fellow students needed to be informed about your...

    nurse for 15 years and I feel like a fraud

    nursel56 replied to bananabutter's topic in General Nursing

    This may be a personal bias, but I think someone who has worked in oncology for 15 years and evaluates themselves as a good nurse (because other people say so) and "I guess I know enough to play the...

    Woman dies from tap water netipot use

    nursel56 replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    "When I operated on this lady, a section of her brain about the size of a golf ball was bloody mush." That quote wasn't in the story I read, gah! But it did provide a counterpoint to the other weird...

    The Nurse Empath

    nursel56 replied to Kelsea1214's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's courageous of you to recognize this truth about yourself after relatively little time being bombarded by thoughts of "shoulds" and many years in futility trying to make that expectation...

    without a job until after new years

    nursel56 replied to RN252's topic in Nursing Career

    I guess if you were really mad while studying and getting mentally scarred while your friends are partying and doing very bad things and making tons of money you could hit them up to tide you over for...

    Weed

    I am new to nursing but I don't want to do this anymore

    nursel56 replied to newgradkat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi katr27! I don't think 4 weeks on your own is long enough to know if things will start to fall into place, but I'd suggest you try for 6 months or so before you decide. You're starting in a...

    New Grad changes Preceptor. Help!

    nursel56 replied to MOmama's topic in First Year After Licensure

    HiFLmama. I agree with people who advised you to hang tight and let this blow over. I've had my share of dysfunctional people to deal with as well. Maybe two of them resulted in drastic action, and...

    Snowflakes

    nursel56 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Originally, the term was not meant to describe mean old nurses. The very first COB thread was more along the lines of nurses who didn't freak out over dark humor or accused of lacking in compassion...

    nursel56 replied to mathisp1's topic in Home Health

    Time to call the Racket Squad, also known as the bunco unit and other names police departments dedicated to these situations are called. But let us know if the California state board says it's OK for...

    Old nurse in pediatrics

    nursel56 replied to PPediRN's topic in Pediatric

    Well, I'm not presently a younger nurse, but I really don't think the dots line up quite as you have them, although separately they contain truth. I don't think younger nurses in pediatrics have an...

    Healthcare Enviroment; IRL or no?

    nursel56 replied to doods425's topic in General Students

    Hi doods425! Even though you will probably hear otherwise from some people, I don't think nurses as a whole are any meaner, more gossipy, sneaky, or would find joy in watching you fail for no reason...

    nursel56 replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    Someone who believes nurses were trained that way or saw themselves like that waaayyyy back in the '60s and '70s. Neither I or anybody I knew back then had that attitude. Kind of a flashing neon sign...
