    Males asking for female patients?

    HermioneG replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    Different people, different preferences. I've never requested a specific gender, but I've always felt more comfortable with male nurses and male OBGYNs taking care of me when I'm the patient....

    I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    HermioneG replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    I ran into one of my old gross anatomy students at the grocery store several months ago. Medical school didn't initially pan out for him so he's working on a PhD in biology, and then will apply to...

    HermioneG replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    In response to the OP, AspiringNurse talked about their prestigious school and how they believe it will be an asset in their nursing career because of the many opportunities presented there. Mi Vida...

    HermioneG replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    OP, Before deciding on nursing, I wanted to go to grad school and eventually be an A&P college professor. I had taken numerous upper division biology classes and was a TA for gross anatomy,...

    How to do amazing in nursing school?

    HermioneG replied to AspiringNurse0223's topic in General Students

    Don't pre-study nursing. Whatever you need to know, you will be taught in your classes. Brush up on some A&P and micro, but that should take you a week or two max. If I was you I would take that...

    "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    HermioneG replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    You're definitely allowed to have an opinion, and I can see where you're coming from, but when I read your comment I must say you really did give off the impression that you go to one of the...

    Bullying at Work - What is your experience?

    HermioneG replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

    I've been bullied twice, and treated badly once, and they were all by young(er) male nurses. The first guy was my nurse for the day. He was trying to force me to give a very powerful and dangerous...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    HermioneG replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the "she is not a cop nor is she a manager, administrator... etc" part so much. Where I currently work, if someone did something like that they could get in trouble for workplace...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    HermioneG replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't misunderstand me, I agree with you and the person I was replying to completely! I was just more like "heyyyyyy I'm not a nurse yet either!" I was making it about me, when it's not about...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    HermioneG replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if it's a "not a nurse" thing as much as a misunderstanding of the proper way to handle these things in any job setting! I'm not a nurse yet (studying for my NCLEX) but other life...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    HermioneG replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    1. Patient care and patient safety is the number one priority, and part of being able to do that is having a working environment where the nursing staff communicates properly and can work as a team....

    Sick of the BS

    HermioneG replied to Helluvanurse33's topic in General Students

    If I was you, I would stop interacting with the professors during lecture if you're doing that right now. Sometimes it can be hard to realize how distracting constant questions/comments can be for our...

    Death and the Soul

    HermioneG replied to dream'n's topic in General Nursing

    I think that we tend to view death in a similar lens through which we view life. If the author of the book tends to look at things through a spiritual lens where things such as the soul are believed...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    HermioneG replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that partying doesn't mean that someone is incapable of providing care. I also agree that people tend to joke about still being drunk or high the next morning. I just wanted to add to what you...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    HermioneG replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    I had to report someone to a charge nurse one time, and it was something that I thought long and hard about before doing. I even sought advice from a trusted mentor (who didn't know anyone involved)...

    How would you react? Body odor discussion.

    HermioneG replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Nurse-rachet1 I'm sorry that you were suspended, but I personally would never discuss something like body odor with a person unless they were my very very close friend or family member. Even if you...

    Not All Nurses Eat Their Young...

    HermioneG replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow, I didn't know that there were a lot of students who acted like that! I've heard students say things like that sometimes, but always very infrequently. I guess I was wrong! I would think that...

    Instructor giving away test questions!

    HermioneG replied to nursingforme2's topic in General Students

    As someone previously said, I think that by saying something you might be putting a giant target on your back. If the teacher was only giving the questions to certain students, or to her "favorite"...

    HermioneG replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    Hey! Yeah, I completely agree that this isn't the norm, but I think that because they had a few extra minutes they wanted me to do it.. and the fact that they used their time to help me like that was...

    Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    HermioneG replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This makes me so sad... My grandma is going to have to go into LTC soon. My grandpa died last year and she's suffering severe memory loss and since she lives on the other side of the country we can't...
