    If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    Nonyvole replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I'm always asking myself why I didn't go this route sooner, instead of futzing around with other

    Plan B!

    Nonyvole replied to Determined2017's topic in General Nursing

    Art therapy. Or stripping. So many strip clubs near where I went to

    Benefits of Sigma Theta Tau International

    Nonyvole replied to Bluebell.'s topic in General Students

    My chapter is pretty active. Grants for students to do things like travel to learn about nursing internationally, activities for nursing students, and I'll at the very least glance at research...

    Rant - How should *I* know?

    Nonyvole replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    Those PVT threads simply afford me a way to use my creative writing skills. Sometimes it's "yes, the same way that X works." Other times it's "only if you also Y." Ah, sarcasm. Where would we be...

    Whistle Blowing: Just or Worthy of Mistrust?

    Nonyvole replied to Squidelle's topic in General Students

    It's also cheating and I have yet to hear of a school that doesn't have explicit language about how taking pictures etc of exams is

    How to handle a know-it-all, loud, humiliating coworker

    Nonyvole replied to NursePelican's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And sometimes there is no civility to be had. Just passive aggressiveness, one-upmanship, and a clear disrespect. Especially towards the idea of having a hierarchy and those who are senior. Why no, I...

    An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    Nonyvole replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    Only reason I'm going to grad school is so that I have options before my body gives out completely. But I'll be quite happily doing my bedside nursing thing until I can't

    ED Preceptorship Tips?

    Nonyvole replied to davethemurse's topic in General Students

    If you need to contact your preceptor, or set up meetings, or anything that requires scheduling...don't leave them hanging until the last minute. I've changed my mind about students because of that -...

    Frustrated beyond words

    Nonyvole replied to grneyes908's topic in General Students

    Have run into a few nursing students from private, for - profit schools with the same complaints, OP. The ones that ultimately did the best were the ones that took matters into their own hands, tried...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Nonyvole replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    You can always come to my hospital,
  12. Nonyvole

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Nonyvole replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Had one who went even beyond what I've seen and heard about. They looked at and (wrongly) interpreted my lab results. And then told me. In a public area. I'm certainly holding a few different people...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Nonyvole replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    Also, your school isn't the only school that has clinicals in that hospital. We can see a lot of students in a

    Employee vs Patient: Do you receive care where you work?

    Nonyvole replied to ladedah1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OB/GYN, no. Everything else,

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Nonyvole replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    I will roll my eyes and huff at students when they: ignore all learning opportunities offered. Act like I should bow down at their feet. Publicly argue with me. Argue with a patient. Take a...

    I am a real nurse

    Nonyvole replied to annienurse86's topic in Psychiatric

    The only people who aren't "real nurses" are those who don't have the

    Disability: genuinely curious

    Nonyvole replied to anh06005's topic in General Nursing

    Anxiety, speaking as somebody with it, doesn't always mean that we can't go out. And yes, it's easy to look at somebody who is on disability and wonder what doctor they had to bribe, but remember....

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Nonyvole replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    All the facilities that I did my clinical rotations in, and all the facilities that I have worked, there was no asking about taking a student for less than a day. Just telling. And in theory it's...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Nonyvole replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    Oh gosh. So feel you on one level. Chronic pain means that there are some shifts that I can barely smile at my patients, let alone be sweetness and welcoming to students. (Doesn't matter what type;...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Nonyvole replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    OP, there have been quite a few debates about nursing students, pay, etc. I'd suspect that people being paid to take a nursing student is very, very rare. My facility doesn't. Most of the time, we're...

    Firearms

    Nonyvole replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Have my concealed carry permit. Don't carry. I got it because my husband does carry, and sometimes I end up wearing his jacket. With a firearm tucked away in it. If I need to defend myself at work,...

    An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    Nonyvole replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    Playing with the other side of the fence, here. There are those of us who don't have any recourse but to simply "suck it up." We don't like it, the door is there, but good luck finding someplace that...

    Preceptorship articles...know of any?

    Nonyvole replied to seks's topic in General Nursing

    Sweet, thanks. (I use my phone 99% of the time here, so it wasn't laziness in asking.
