  1. How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    Wake88 replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, but it's crucial. It is all about calories in and calories out. The hard part is having the mental toughness to stick to it. Also 2,000 calories comes in vastly different forms. And if you're...

  3. How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    Wake88 replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I've lost well over 40 lbs, but not in 90 days. I know what I can do better to lose that weight and more faster, though. You know those hundreds of different diet books that...

  5. Am I a bully?

    Wake88 replied to haron54's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agreed. I get sick of this condescending attitude which typically comes from a superiority complex. I'm not lying when I say I've seen this again and again on this site from certain people. This is a...

  6. Am I a bully?

    Wake88 replied to haron54's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Feeling like we need a hell of a lot more information. Charge nurses don't just get fired for 'that's too

  7. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    Wake88 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So, for the future, if you get stopped for random drug-screening you go and get hair-follicle testing at an independent lab ASAP. I don't want to deal with any crap like this in the

  8. Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    Wake88 replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but having worked with them over the years I know how hard they work and the kind of ungrateful s*** they go through. Shame on anyone who actually thought this was a good idea,...

  9. Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    Wake88 replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I've been reading comments on that article from non-healthcare workers, and I'm feeling a bit sickened by how they think of nurses and nurse aides. If increasingly people think it's OK to treat nurses...

  10. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    Wake88 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Personally I'd like to hear more and be updated on this situation at the OP's discretion. Going into nursing school full-time this Fall, I know it takes immense effort to succeed. I've heard many...

  11. Annoying Classmate Wants To Be Coworker

    Wake88 replied to Laughing_Gas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Out of curiosity is the OP also a man? If so then it sounds like one imperfect guy being annoyed by a possible socially-awkward

  12. Facebook and employers/school

    Wake88 replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    There is a good topic everyone. Keep it up. I'm looking at deleting and re-creating my FB account, and using it as a social tool to gather information, spread influence, and become even more...

  13. In the Hospital: Rumors & Gossip

    Wake88 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in a sub-acute hospital that specializes in traumatic brain injuries. One of the major problems with this facility is the persistent spreading of rumors and gossip and drama among co-workers,...

  14. Registered Nurse Registry?

    Wake88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    There's an online registry for nursing assistants where you can put in their names and see if they are in good standing. Is there something like this for nurses? At least one of the nurses I work with...

  15. Registered Nurse Registry?

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. Tell the public WI Board of Nursing that. I mean, what are you even doing man? You're saying the public doesn't have the right to view public information when it comes to nursing licenses. If...

  16. Registered Nurse Registry?

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    I have a right to know if they've done something serious. Since I can't search for smaller things then yeah I can report suspicious behavior like I usually do. Thanks you and Pangea about the BON...

  17. Registered Nurse Registry?

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I found the exact registry and license numbers, but the results given are fairly basic. I wonder if there are any better ways to search their licenses to know if they've broken any rules...

  18. Registered Nurse Registry?

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    Unsure why it's made so difficult to try to look up a nurse's license online. WI is asking for license numbers but I don't know where to find those. Wisconsin DRL - Credential Lookup - Multiple...

    Wake88 replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    If you watermark a photo (obvious or not), and they share that photo against your will, can you do anything about

  20. Stanford Rape

    Wake88 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Does this mean they'll try to give this rapist a harsher punishment? If so, that's good

  21. Facebook and employers/school

    Wake88 replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm considering starting over with a new FB account, while subtly incorporating the 48 Laws of Power. If ever there were a platform that these Laws should directly apply to, it'd be FaceBook. You can...

  22. Stanford Rape

    Wake88 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. I'll follow up with my friend to find out exactly where she heard

  23. Stanford Rape

    Wake88 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    A friend told me that they're going to re-try Brock in court, according to the news today. HOWEVER, I'm not seeing anything about this online. Could anyone verify this for

  24. Facebook and employers/school

    Wake88 replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    You can do anything so long as you're smart and decide who gets to see your information. After seeing coworkers get embarrassed by posting stupid crap on FB for all to see, I learn from hearing their...

  25. In the Hospital: Rumors & Gossip

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    At the moment things have calmed down. Nothing has happened regarding the coworker who accused me, but still keeping a finger on that pulse. Before this incident that same CNA dragged me into drama...
