    Do hospital patients get better care if they're nice

    Flare replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Politeness gets you very far in my book. Sure, the rude and nasty ones will still get good care, but i'm not going to jump up to get an extra blanket the second it's asked for if you've been abusing...

    Student with Lice - what to do?

    Flare replied to tictac's topic in School

    Right - Lice are considered a nuisance, not a communicable disease. Depending on school policy she could stay in class, but be sure she is not doing any type of activity that would promote spreading...

    Is this the wrong field for me?

    Flare replied to CW1978's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you've put some unrealistic expectation on both yourself and your patient load. Demenita, psych and the like are difficult because of the nuances that really can get under one's skin. I...

    Terrible sack lunch advise

    Flare replied to kidsnurse1969's topic in School

    i agree - the kid is probably packing his own or making swaps to a pre packed lunch. Either way, i'll bet mom and dad don't know the lunches are turning into a junk

    "I didn't want to go into nursing because I didn't want to be labled gay"

    Flare replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Men in Nursing

    I can't say that sexuality is even part of the equation when I meet a nurse for the first time. No more than I think about sexuality when meeting a doctor, respiratory tech, phlebotomist, sous chef,...

    new at school nursing. please help

    Flare replied to june2009's topic in School

    I agree with the idea of sending out a form - the parents that tend to be compliant will have it filled out right away, the lollygaggers will wait until you call them you request it. You can then...

    Dad just doesn't understand...

    Flare replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry your dad isn't more supportive of you. Please don't let that dissuade you from such a rewarding career. I originally went to school on a pre-med track, but quickly found out how...

    Backup Plan?

    Flare replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    I started working as a per diem ADN in a local hospital last august. I suppose i'd do that for a while - while trying to get a position in an OR - the idea of being an RN first assistant is really...

    party like a nurse?!?!

    Flare replied to gummibear's topic in Nursing Humor

    perhaps it means to party for 12 and a half hours straight without eating or visiting the

    offended co worker

    Flare replied to frost99's topic in General Nursing

    i agree - just let it go. It seems you struck a nerve with him. I don't think you did anything worth beating yourself up

    Do I ask people to be references for me?

    Flare replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    a quick phone call or email asking if you can use them as a reference is always the right thing to do. Some prospective employers do not want you to use supervisors as references, so it's good to...

    Flea Market Contact Lenses

    Flare replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I am guessing they were the costume type of lenses worn for a novelty - though if they were RX, perhaps you could refer them to some low cost programs that could get her legitimate lenses at a price...

    I was a volunteer when i was in high school. Still see a few when I work my prn job at the same hospital - though i don't see them doing things i remember doing like transporting

    dui: diversion program or take chance with nursing board

    Flare replied to Othelady's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    We really can't give legal advice on here - a good lawyer is certainly advisable. I am not sure what a DUI and a diversion program have to do with one another, unless you were under the influence of...

    Would you desire to have a roommate or live by yourself during Nursing school?

    Flare replied to TJ_vladin's topic in General Nursing

    If your roommate is also a nursing major and has similar goals as you it will probably work out better. As far as mixed gender rooms - I can see where it could get very awkward very quickly. And...

    blood exposure question

    Flare replied to yeoman's topic in General Nursing

    Well, per the terms of service we can't dish out any medical or legal advice. I will say that you probably should fill out the incident report and follow their procedures - and I will also say that a...
