1. Examples of times you have been bullied in nursing profession

   Parakeet replied to luvmyyorkie24's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Why is it always "older" nurses who are considered bullies? I'm starting to think that the question should be asked, "why do younger nurses eat the older, more experienced nurses?" When you think of...

2. Boldness to Speak

   Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

   'twas a pt. who has asked me in the past - she deals with anxiety issues all the time - this day she asked me about it after I gave her meds and got her ready for a

3. Boldness to Speak

   Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

   Just a clarification to my OP. I want to let you know that just because I am a Christian, does not mean that I think my classmates or any other nurse I work with are beneath me. I have met many...

4. Boldness to Speak

   Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

   Good food for thought; I'll chew on it. Actually, since you brought it up, I do wear skirts all the time, wear headcoverings, don't wear make up, would love a husband and family if my LORD sees fit!...

5. Boldness to Speak

   Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

   Like I said earlier, I am not spending all of my time proselytizing. However, if I see an opportunity to speak, I will do so. I had a pt. just this past week ask me how to pray, so in answer to her...

6. Life, death, and dying.

   Parakeet replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

   Though this will be controversial, I have to say it; it is merely answering the end of the OP's post. According to the Bible, every man has a soul. Also there is an afterlife - either heaven or hell....

7. What class in nursing school do they teach you surgical procedures?

   Parakeet replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Students

   I guess that I somewhat echo the OP's question; I thought in RN programs they still had a surgical rotation. What I mean is that nurses used to assist in the OR with cleaning, handing tools and such....

8. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

   Parakeet replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly, in my experience, it may be more of a learning style than anything else. I used to be an A student, since I've been in nursing, I have been a B/C student. On the other hand, my clinical...

9. Differences in US nursing vs the rest of the world

   Parakeet replied to irishicugal's topic in General Nursing

   Well! I wish I could have done nursing in a program like you describe! For me, it is so hard to comprehend the theory side, which seems to be the emphasis in the US. I learn best by hands on during...

10. Boldness to Speak

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Frankly, none of these responses offend me! You can choose to be offended; I am not judging anyone on this forum, I am just putting out an encouragement for other Christians to be bold about their...

11. Boldness to Speak

    Parakeet posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I wanted to write this as an encouragement to other believers in the LORD Jesus Christ, that there are opportunities to give the Gospel in nursing. I am in my last semester of a nursing program. It is...

12. The film: Vaxxed.

    Parakeet replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    If vaccines are not 100% effective, what is the use of getting them? 'Cause then you have to get a booster, then another booster when they run out. I just don't get the logic: You shouldn't not...

13. The film: Vaxxed.

    Parakeet replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    BTW, I have not actually seen this film, I am just posting about vaccines in general. Don't you think that someone who actually dares to question the status quo and do "unpopular" research might...

14. The film: Vaxxed.

    Parakeet replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with Rocknurse about freedom of choice related to vaccines. I don't understand why pro-vaccers are so militant - I have heard people say that anti vaccers should be sterilised, their...

15. Nurse Bullying

    Parakeet replied to Slhengy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    believeallispossible, I don't think the examples you brought up from nursing school are valid examples of bullying. Guess what, I think it is called life. Anyone who has gone through nursing school...
