  2. Mandatory flu vaccines

    RobotNurse replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

  4. Mandatory flu vaccines

    RobotNurse replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    what about substantiated long-term research disproving the possible link between 5+ years of consecutive flu shots and increased risk of Alzheimer's later in life? (hint: such research doesn't exist...

  5. Mandatory flu vaccines

    RobotNurse replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I CAN NOT ******* WAIT to wear a mask at work! not even being sarcastic. I wish I could wear one every shift year-round! Patients coughing and hacking and spraying God-only-knows-what in...

  6. mandatory flu shot

    RobotNurse replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You don't have to get the flu shot if you don't want it. Just claim religious exemption - 48 states allow it (you're only SOL in West Virginia and/or Mississippi). You don't have to be a member of an...

    RobotNurse posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    my housemate is also a nurse and we both have noticed we have started looking prematurely aged since we started working in healthcare. i'm only 25 and have always been guessed to be younger, carded...

  8. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RobotNurse replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    you wouldn't know his attitude toward patient care, not if he's even a halfway decent actor in job interviews. i've gotten a job offer from every place I've interviewed thus far - i know what they...

  11. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    RobotNurse replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    well, we are on a forum where you can get a TOS violation for hurting someone's feefees by telling them you don't care about their opinions of you. if someone considers this a legit offense, what are...

  12. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    RobotNurse replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    yes. it's also a way to drag you down and make you feel insecure. it sounds like you are both patient-smart AND book-smart; if other people feel threatened or jealous because you work hard and have...

  13. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RobotNurse replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    i'm a fool? coming from someone who claims to be utterly bewildered as to why someone would not quit their job on the spot if they didn't like it? it's not like people require money to live, right? I...

  15. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RobotNurse replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  16. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RobotNurse replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    idk about anyone else, but direct statements from professors at my nursing school program: "you're a highly educated professional; as a RN you are above doing CNA tasks." "You didn't get a master's...

  17. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RobotNurse replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    i do understand why some people are reacting as they did. and you're exactly right about the reasons why. A lot of people feel their job is more than a job, and even more than a profession - it's part...

  18. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RobotNurse replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    a) keep your "sympathy", AND your judgment of others who you know very little if anything about. you have no idea what the OP did or did not do that led him/her to make a good faith decision to go to...

  19. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    RobotNurse replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    you can research what a job/profession entails, and genuinely think (and/or convince yourself) you can handle it, and it's only after you actually start working for real and have a breakdown when you...

  20. I feel uncomfortable doing this

    RobotNurse replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would write a letter. Life is hard enough even with supportive people helping you; no need to make it harder on your family member by refusing his/her request. Just do it. If you really feel that...

  21. do you think a degree/ education is ever a waste?

    RobotNurse replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

  22. what should you insist on in a contract?

    RobotNurse posted a topic in Travel

    I realize that the contract I signed for my current assignment is very vague and has terms in it that I should not have agreed to. I might decide to take another contract in the future, but I don't...

  23. what should you insist on in a contract?

    RobotNurse replied to RobotNurse's topic in Travel

    he's being even more sketchy now. I said I would prefer to wait until this assignment is completed before agreeing to another. He then called me and left a voicemail saying "got your email, let's...

  24. Has anyone ever escaped?

    RobotNurse replied to ellieheart's topic in General Nursing

  25. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RobotNurse replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I did one of my main clinicals in a hospital in a wealthy area, with plenty of prestigious doctors and catering to rich people. This hospital was well staffed, and patient asignments were reasonable....
