  1. You will all probably hate me for this

    brandiep1982 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why but I love the word "behooves". It sounds like such a goofy word to

  2. You will all probably hate me for this

    brandiep1982 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    :) Very well said! Is there a way to tag posts so you can revisit them in the future?? I wish I could double like this. I guess since I liked it I can just visit my liked list.

  3. You will all probably hate me for this

    brandiep1982 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    The analogy was not to say that kid and adults are the same. It was to show that arguing that things are how they are and so they shouldn't change for that reason alone is ridiculous. That entire...

  5. You will all probably hate me for this

    brandiep1982 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    I'm too lazy to crop. :) Ok, yes, I agree with most of what you say here. However, the use of the word "control" I don't agree with. The OP wasn't attempting to control anyone. She was trying to...

  6. You will all probably hate me for this

    brandiep1982 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    It is interesting the comments I see on here. Generally, we have the comments that are pro-kindness and those that are anti-kindness. There are a few that are somewhere in between. However, some of...

  7. You will all probably hate me for this

    brandiep1982 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I would just like to say: You are wonderful. Thank you for this post. Thank you for standing up, even when you knew others would probably attack you for it (I have not read any other comments). I...

  8. Threatened by patient

    brandiep1982 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really just don't understand some people... I was at the park with my toddler and 13 year old. There was a group of teenagers wandering around the park cursing loudly. I asked them to stop cursing...

  9. Finally Done With Pre-Reqs!

    brandiep1982 replied to SunkissedRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations Kryptonite! I am taking my last prereq this summer (micro) and start my BSN this fall (as long as I pass this summer lol). I took stats last semester. Ugh. No fun for me. Some people...

  10. Perpetuating the Stigma of LTC

    brandiep1982 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    THIS! I feel for you OP. I know there are some wonderful LTC facilities out there. I have seen them and was fortunate enough to work at a couple of them. However, when I relocated and left my first...

  11. Threatened by patient

    brandiep1982 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with you to an extent. I mentioned that threatening someone is never ok. I do not know what happened. I would like to assume the best of this nurse. But I also cannot condemn a patient...

  12. Threatened by patient

    brandiep1982 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I will probably get some flack for this, but I can't just jump on the bandwagon here and support OP without a little more info. I am curious as to why no one has thought to ask what happened that led...

  13. Scientific or paranormal explanation?

    brandiep1982 replied to Mavrick's topic in General Nursing

    This is the first post that actually made me laugh out loud. This is

  14. hiding piercing holes?

    brandiep1982 replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Well

  15. Vent: Why so many local threads started in General Nursing

    brandiep1982 replied to dream'n's topic in General Nursing

    I totally understand it being frustrating when posts crowd up a board that should be somewhere else. Being somewhat new, I will say that the local boards are not easy to find. Even with all the...

  16. Engagement Ring help!

    brandiep1982 replied to a_nurses_bf's topic in General Nursing

    That is pretty cool, the ring you wear at

  17. Engagement Ring help!

    brandiep1982 replied to a_nurses_bf's topic in General Nursing

    I have a necklace that I never take off. It has my cross on it. When I worked (before I went back to school) and in the future, I have and will put my ring on my necklace when I have to work or tend...

  18. New Grad - Ain't he special!

    brandiep1982 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I all of you have just about covered this topic lol I agree with most of the posts. I have a question, though. Is anyone else concerned that the CNA did not get assistance before trying to clean up a...

  19. Valedictorian caught cheating

    brandiep1982 replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Very good point. Except, employers may look upon someone who respectfully stood up fr ethics and what is "right", and ignited positive change. I try to do what I feel is right no matter what others...

  20. Would you rather... ?

    brandiep1982 replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Students

    ditto

  21. Valedictorian caught cheating

    brandiep1982 replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's why I think having their own ceremony would be great. They would still get their special day, and they won't be acting maliciously. They would be acting out of respect for themselves and their...

  22. Liking members at AN

    brandiep1982 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Yep... that's the one

  23. Valedictorian caught cheating

    brandiep1982 replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Interesting... as I understand your comment... just because she made such good grades, then it is impossible that she was cheating regularly? That isn't a logical argument. You claim that it is...

  24. Not Cut Out to Be a Nurse?

    brandiep1982 replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I am not a nurse. I haven't even started the nursing portion of my schooling yet. Yet, this seems familiar... it almost seems like you are so scared to make the wrong decision... that you make...

  25. Valedictorian caught cheating

    brandiep1982 replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Red, we don't usually agree lol but I think this is an EXCELLENT idea! Heck, why not arrange your OWN ceremony somewhere else? Your own class celebration with your own chosen
