  1. Terminated For Trying To Date A Patient

    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

    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

    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?

    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?

    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

    Wow! Shocked, saddened, and puzzled. May they all RIP.
  7. Nurses don't know the lab

    Looks like OP just joined AN just to rant. Now he/she is gone. I say good riddance.
  8. I was watching I Am Cait and a trans woman named Blossom Brown said she was denied entrance into nursing schoolbecause she is trans. She ended up getting a check presented to her on the Ellen show for $20,000 to help her get into nursing school. Has ...
  9. Med Surg Expierence vs ADON Oppourtunity

    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:
  10. help please

    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...
  11. Cannot stand director

    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...
  12. Screwed Over by My School

    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 ...
  13. OP, can you provide some examples that help us understand your complaint?
  14. Anyone See Blosson Brown on the I am Cait show?

    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...
  15. Nurse to Nurse Bullying

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

    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!!
  17. Did I do the right thing?

    I totally agree. You did the right thing.
  18. Relieved my daughter decided against nursing

    If that is truly what your daughter wants to pursue, more power to her. My husband and I taught our kids to go after their dreams, not money. I have a son that is a teacher and the other on the way to become a vet. It's their life and they need to fi...
  19. Anyone See Blosson Brown on the I am Cait show?

    This crossed my mind, too!!
  20. Nurse Slang Yo!

    Swellbow--usually from a mechanical fall Escape Artists--able to get OOB despite all side rails being up and/or get out of restaints/posy vest Lola-all lil ole ladie May other I know have already been posted (FOS, milk of amnesia, GOMER)
  21. Anyone See Blosson Brown on the I am Cait show?

    I agree. Not enough details to be believable.
  22. Anyone See Blosson Brown on the I am Cait show?

    I read inconsistencies in her version of the story Caitlyn Jenner Blogs for WhoSay: Meet Blossom Brown : People.com she calls her course work at the Community College level "undergraduate", does not mention completing prerequisites, and states sh up...
  23. This is how it's post to be!
  24. Anyone See Blosson Brown on the I am Cait show?

    I have a difficult time believing that any school would deny admission based on gender identity. I think there is more to the story than meets the eye.
  25. Chemistry

    I took Inorganic and Organic Chemistry as pre-requisites for nursing school. High school Chemistry was different. The college I took the 2 classes had free tutoring. Hang in they and much luck!
