    I'm a sexless nurse

    nursel56 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone is this the thread where everybody is posting funny lines from Airplane? "Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish Prison?" Haahahaha I love that---- oops, it isn't? Oh I am so. Sorry. Bye...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    nursel56 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I've never been asked to recite anything myself, and I believe most people are aware that even within a religion the prayers and prayer styles are different. The vast majority of my experiences are...

    RN being bullied by LVN

    nursel56 replied to BDBSNRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Everything is magnified in PDN. The same person in a hospital/floor environment is annoying, move them to PDN and they're really, really annoying. The nurse in question may not realize the...

    The Wisdom of Lurking

    nursel56 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I got that notice when I clicked on a recent "can I still be a nurse if I don't like poop?" article. Due to the subject matter I assumed it had gone horribly wrong much faster than usual -- I...

    Take this job and shove it!

    nursel56 replied to TTK RN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a face to face exit interview with the DON of the one job I left due to toxic workplace issues, and she asked me what I thought she should do about the manager who was the toxic epicenter...

    The Wisdom of Lurking

    nursel56 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I see your point, but I would also say it's more complicated than that. Saying it's just the internet to me is like saying it's just a telephone line or it's just writing on a piece of paper. This...

    Do We Need More Nurses?

    nursel56 replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true! Wanna_be-- the market overall for nurses has changed-- but the way I have always viewed it is that the number of new grads hired will never be 0-- so the trick is to do those things...

    Finally going for my RN

    nursel56 replied to anime5an4lyfe's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats and all the best to you as you start your journey. The fact you can seamlessly move into a BSN program is great,

    So Embarrassing

    nursel56 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I'll only answer that question if prnqday says it's OK for you to (hi)jack her

    So Embarrassing

    nursel56 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Pic or it didn't happen! OK now you all know my inner brat.... I think we all go on auto-pilot sometimes... like the time I said "wheeeeee" when pushing a middle-aged proper lady down a longer than...

    Sex, Porn & Roto-Prone Beds.....

    nursel56 replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    It has become worse. It used to be we would see obvious "bait" threads for a couple of weeks per year, but this year it went on for several months. Those would be written by people with a passing...

    Esme welcome back!!!!

    Just got fired from my first real job as an lpn and need some advice

    nursel56 replied to Crystal-Wings's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have to agree this type of job would be difficult for any new grad to take on. There is no safety net, and the family dynamics from one case to another are so vastly different most of the time it's...

    Just got fired from my first real job as an lpn and need some advice

    nursel56 replied to Crystal-Wings's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Crystal-Wings I applaud your decision to take the steps you need to get a handle on your anxiety and depression, and even though you feel you've blown your only chance to work in peds, I wouldn't shut...

    Nude nurse goes nutty

    nursel56 replied to chopwood carrywater's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started working in private duty (which I suspect this is) I was amazed that the company that hired me never had me meet with the DON (or anyone other than sales staff), there was no drug...

    You will all probably hate me for this

    Walking into a mess

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    Most of the maintenance can affect the kid's health if not done. My personal observation is that parents who spend genuine quality time with their child also understand the rationale behind keeping...

    Does this make me really horrible?

    nursel56 replied to vandiola's topic in General Nursing

    No you're not horrible for feeling that way. Now we have nurses and students in at least two countries who find it objectionable, at least I'm assuming you are in the UK due to the term "adverts". I...

    I don't know why I'm even surprised by this...

    nursel56 replied to thesegotoeleven's topic in General Nursing

    No way I would brush this one off. I'd report it too. In addition, I would find a way to publicize it. It doesn't have to be a job-risking whistleblower thing, but the backlash will get the kind of...

    You will all probably hate me for this

    nursel56 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Without Grn Tea and Ruby Vee this place would be a ghost town. I'm only kind of kidding. I'm personally all over the NETO* and being put on the defensive day in and day out on this forum. *twist on...

    Esme Needs Your Prayers

    nursel56 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Esme, just want to let you know I think of you often, sending prayers, good vibes and cute puppy pictures! Actually, I picked this one because I thought maybe at this point you're feeling sort of like...

    IS THIS TRUE???

    nursel56 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    In the other thread about this, many people stated "if you are not willing to experience what it feels like to be a patient, you have no business being a nurse". Some of them said the bed bath...

    IS THIS TRUE???

    nursel56 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I know I differ with many of my fellow nurses who went to school around when I did. I'm totally against this practice for many reasons, the ribald jokes about anatomy, the possibility of triggering...

    Is the RN--->BSN push a clever way to get older nurses out of the way

    nursel56 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If they really cared for the nursing profession as a whole, they would be lobbying hard to transition current ADN programs to BSN. We've had extensive discussion on this board about the actual...
