1. Terminated For Trying To Date A Patient

   Riawahine replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   This could have ended tragically. I worked with a female psychiatrist who lost her license to practice medicine when she got involved with one of her patients. He committed suicide and his parents found evidence of their affair and moved forward with...

2. Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

   Riawahine replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

   I was wondering if you brought this concern up to your leadership? It’s really easy to place blame rather than accept responsibility. If you are BLS certified you should know how to use an EpiPen. BLS = BASIC LIFE SUPPORT. Emphasis on BASIC.

3. Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

   Riawahine replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

   You should not be administering vaccines if you do not know how to safely use an EpiPen. Being a nurse is more than just passively waiting to be trained. You have to make sure you practice nursing safely. Your bio says you have been practicing nursin...

4. fired for cancelling shifts d/t health issues?

   Riawahine replied to pookashellz's topic in General Nursing

   Hi my dear. When I read your post I instantly became worried? Do you live alone? Should you be driving? Passing out unexpectedly is frightening. Please stay on your doctor to help with a diagnosis. Best of luck to you!

5. Are we better than the hosts of The View?

   Riawahine replied to Julius Seizure's topic in General Nursing

   Johnson & Johnson has "paused" their advertising on The View and Eggland's Best states they "will no longer be advertising on the show in question". Well done, Joy Behar

6. Brian Short News

   Riawahine replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   Wow! Shocked, saddened, and puzzled. May they all RIP.

7. Nurses don't know the lab

   Riawahine replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

   Looks like OP just joined AN just to rant. Now he/she is gone. I say good riddance.

8. Med Surg Expierence vs ADON Oppourtunity

   Riawahine replied to RNGARCIA's topic in Med-Surg

   Just because they offer you the lower rate doesn't mean you have to accept it. Try to negotiate for a higher rate. At least $30/hr. I say go for the M/S position. Good luck:sarcastic:

9. help please

   Riawahine replied to psamolmos's topic in General Students

   Hi OP! Being nervous is ok-just don't let it paralyze you. The beauty of nursing is that it is so much more than being "book smart". In nursing school you will get to practice the theories and concepts taught in the classroom. Study groups helped me...

10. Cannot stand director

    Riawahine replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    Wait! You've only been a nursing student for one(1) month? You make some major assumptions and mean statements in your posts. You might want to do some self reflection. But, you haven't even given the director a chance. Why not see how things play ou...

11. Screwed Over by My School

    Riawahine replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Hi OP. in all honesty, sometimes there is no remedy for mistakes made by others. For example, I got a state tax lien placed against me in error. You think your situation is a big deal?? Try to get ANY type of credit if buy a home with this albatross ...

12. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    Riawahine replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    OP, can you provide some examples that help us understand your complaint?

13. Anyone See Blosson Brown on the I am Cait show?

    Riawahine replied to Riawahine's topic in General Nursing

    Here's the thing: if Blossom really was denied admission on the basis of being a transgender woman, the Caitlyn's and Ellens in her life would have already paid for her to fight the legal battles. Like someone said earlier it's probably just a PR stu...

14. Nurse to Nurse Bullying

    Riawahine replied to NewScaredRN's topic in General Nursing

    WOW!! So sorry to hear about your nightmare. When I was in nursing school, I had an OR rotation (like most) and the hospital's assigned preceptor for this rotation was a true condescending, mean spirited, jerk. It was his job to show the nursing stud...

15. Should i apply for RN II jobs even as a new grad?

    Riawahine replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    I guess my question is this: do you meet the qualifications for the RN II position? You may be able to call their HR department and gather more information. Much luck!!
