  1. Psst....Let's Talk About Gossip in the Nurses' Station

    mimibrown replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like gossip. I think there is a difference between sharing and saying something negative about someone behind their back. To me that's what makes gossip destructive. If you need to address an...

  2. Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    mimibrown replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I only think you should make major life decisions with a spouse or committed partner. You have not indicated that is the kind of relationship you have with your boyfriend. You are pretty much saying...

  3. NTI: What's a Scromper, Nurse Blake?

    mimibrown replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Literally my favorite word!! Can I covfefe in my romper. They look

  4. What Can I Do With A BSN? (Without a license).

    mimibrown replied to Chloe Price's topic in General Nursing

    It's not over!! You can take the next 2-3 months and really devote your time to studying. You are so close. I agree about using Kaplan. I would even ask a few classmates what they used. You have...

  5. I am not proud of my track record.

    mimibrown replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    It's ok to not be a nurse. You are making pretty big mistakes. Your next one can really harm a patient. I think you should think long and hard about your abilities to do this

  6. nursing career over 50 in Raleigh

    mimibrown replied to Bsimeon's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you want to be a nurse? This is a very hard profession and probably vastly different from your corporate role. As an LPN you will likely find most jobs in a nursing home. There are a lot more...

  7. I am a new nurse trying to figure out how to get a doctor to stop bullying me at work.

    mimibrown replied to Mississippideer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have never dealt with this specifically, but is there any way you can pull him to the side and ask him what's up with his behavior? Obviously, in a professional way. I would try to see if...

  8. First week of nursing school... is it for me?

    mimibrown replied to knursing's topic in General Students

    If you are feeling suicidal, you really need to get help. You can't be an advocate for patients unless you can advocate for yourself. You don't have to have everything in life figured out right now....

  9. I used to not like nurses but I am so grateful for all of you

    mimibrown replied to menot's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, what exactly did you come here

  10. Is this harassment by a family member?

    mimibrown replied to Sea_shell's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I would consider this threatening behavior and would have reported it to the charge nurse or supervisor. The roommates in this patients room deserve privacy. I think you did the right thing and...

  11. CML Patient interested in becoming a nurse

    mimibrown replied to Djakujudobre's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a very stressful job. It is physically and mentally draining. Add in a lack of jobs for new grads, and a difficult job market. What do you plan to do if you graduate and can't find a job...

  12. The Wisdom of Lurking

    mimibrown replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I kinda disagree that it's just an anonymous blog. It's a place full of professionals with a variety of experience, who give pretty spot on advice. I have found this site very helpful during my...

  13. Noc nurses, how do you organize your life?

    mimibrown replied to noelly10's topic in General Nursing

    I work full time nights. On my days off, I usually stay up until 3am and I get up in the afternoon. I have time to run errands during the evening and I do whatever I want with the rest of the day. I...

  14. This week, I learned..... (6/6/15)

    mimibrown replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that taking four days off in a row is awesome, and it's okay to not answer the phone when your job calls asking you to work extra for the twelmillioneth time. I learned that I started to...

  15. Family issue..Thoughts?

    mimibrown replied to jrabbit619's topic in General Students

    I didn't read all of the responses, but I wanted to throw this out there. Your mom sounds similar to my mother, the controlling behaviour, the manipulation, making your life choices about her, and the...

  16. Physical exam on women

    mimibrown replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other posters. Unless assessing those areas are relevant for their current issues, it is not necessary to check them. It is overkill and not a good use of time in that setting. Are...

  17. A Response from the OP on the issue (poor choice of words) on the concept of a ADN Vs. BSN

    mimibrown replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    I'm the type of person who thinks, I've you have failed you need to face the music. Depending on your program, that may mean re-applying, or taking the class over. Convincing someone that you need...

  18. Odd situation

    mimibrown replied to anonymous88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that this needs to be reported to someone, social worker, CPS. I would like to believe that this person has good intentions, but honestly this makes me uneasy. Who gives up a 10 year old for...

  19. What's the best way to pay your bills and go to school full time???

    mimibrown replied to jlamar11's topic in General Students

    Is there a way you could decrease your expenses greatly, or even move back home? With 35000 in loans on top of any loans you may currently have, how much would your repayments be? Could you afford to...

  20. Since I can't see myself as how others see me...

    mimibrown replied to MPKH's topic in General Nursing

    A few thoughts. Are you quick to talk and offer explanations for why you did something a certain way, or do you listen and really understand what someone is saying. Do you acknowledge mistakes when...

  21. Workplace Cowardice

    mimibrown replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Real talk- maybe they didn't take it to you because your track record does not say, "I'm open to constructive criticism, or feedback." Your attitude might be saying that you think you are better than...
