    Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

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

    No, the concept of doing a compassion assessment or something like that to give spots in nursing programs would not result in better nurses or less nurses burning out. Both nursing and people have too...

    Nauseous vs Nauseated (another grammar lesson)

    ummmm.......dilation......dilatation!

    question about personal boundaries

    nursel56 replied to sghanem1's topic in Home Health

    So now you know you work with a vicious backstabber who is willing to at the very least shade the truth and at the most tell an untruth to your employer. In this case I would definately write up a...

    Welp... failed THAT test....

    nursel56 replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    Just want to throw in real quick.... I can also remember the shock of my first low test grade. It can knock our worldview out of whack for a little and maybe in my case a jolt of humility could be...

    Nauseous vs Nauseated (another grammar lesson)

    nursel56 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Haha I love this! One of my most vivid memories from decades ago was when an instructor "Miss R------", made a special point of telling us that "nauseous" pronounced "noshus" was how her New Jersey...

    The culture of AN

    nursel56 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    I am biased, I admit. I love this place and wish something like this had been around in my first years as a nurse. I spent a lot of time brooding over things and thinking I was the only one who felt...

    Home Health...good option for RN with bad back

    nursel56 replied to MommaRN86's topic in Home Health

    I agree with Patchouli. Case Management is a good option. If you work the Private Duty side of home health, meaning providing care for an entire shift I personally have found it pretty risky due to...

    I just lost my mom...now what? Seeking program advice.

    nursel56 replied to BruiserQueen's topic in General Students

    So very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom to breast cancer in 2010. You are so right in saying that we don't know enough about you or emotional make-up to say for sure. I do feel comfortable in...

    How do I report fraud and neglect?

    nursel56 replied to AshleyPCA's topic in Private Duty

    That was really fair of you, Cloudy Sue. I will just say that Ashley seems to be a person of above-average intelligence and already has a bachelor's degree according to her posts, but you're right....

    While You are In Here..I May As Well Try To Go To The Bathroom....

    Gah. Can't add much to what has been said already but ((hugs))

    How do I report fraud and neglect?

    nursel56 replied to AshleyPCA's topic in Private Duty

    The issues with her nonprofit and grants are really none of your business. You are not an expert on that and I wonder why you even have knowledge of it. If you let someone else fill out your time...

    Am I Being Too Sensitive

    nursel56 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Most people love it when co-workers do things like that. My favorite supervisors/managers were always those who were willing to do what needed to be done without getting all territorial about it....

    Mourning

    nursel56 replied to Nightowl_lpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You've been out of nursing school for a year. People always say that the learning starts after graduation, which has some truth. The "emotional" learning takes place after graduation, too. There...

    MEN, dont come into nursing

    nursel56 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

    I love it that more men are choosing nursing as a career. Diversity makes for a healthier "whole", and that's a fact, not a Paxil-Ativan fueled

    fairly new grad in private-duty nursing, question about orientation

    nursel56 replied to elizabethgrad09's topic in Private Duty

    Hi Flatlander - my experience was that I took a two-hour vent class and supposedly a 2 hour orientation but the agency didn't seem to have a different orientation option depending on the nurse's...

    nursel56 replied to trancefamily's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you're off to a great start! Your attitude of doing what you need to do to succeed even if your teachers aren't the best will serve you well throughout nursing school! Best wishes for...

    Purposeless Ranting just to make myself feel better for a second.

    nursel56 replied to CourtneyRN2014's topic in General Nursing

    First off, I totally hear the rant and understand. Second.. Wow, you have so much to be proud of!!! Forget about the comparison game. I know it sounds old-fashioned but it is pointless and...

    nursing shortage

    nursel56 replied to raceteam91's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I hope a nursing shortage does recur if only because it will mean so much new talent (and yeah even rainbows and unicorns idealism) won't be wasted as it is now and we won't have to read any more...

    nursing shortage

    nursel56 replied to raceteam91's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'll preface by saying I think anyone and everyone who can earn their BSN no matter what stage their career is in should do it. Simple self-preservation is the reasoning there. I think the "outcomes"...

    Oh you're a Nursing student?

    nursel56 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    The IOM report is a biased report whose conclusions were made before they started. There are some good points in it, but the point of it is basically to promote BSN entry-to-practice and...

    Nurses being forced to go back to school

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

    No, you shouldn't be forced to go back to school when retirement is right around the corner and be expected to foot the bill yourself. Nobody has the right to tell you that some dollar number of...

    Oh you're a Nursing student?

    nursel56 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    I think it's a good idea to explain briefly. There's a pretty good chance they won't believe you anyway. There's a really funny Youtube video about that. We're not supposed to link to outside sites...
