  1. What's to complain about?

    I wanted to reply about getting older and nursing. I am "older" but I can still do all I did before. The only thing I can't do now is kneel on the floor to look under a bed for something. That is not...
  2. How can I improve my reputation?

    Gummibear_stare, I think you are reading into this way too much. As someone else said, if time passes, the talk will stop. It probably already has. It might have been mentioned and unjustly, but I am...

    Thank you for your service! Nurse
  5. Going back to work!!!

    Sorry, don't know about the job board yet...but wanted to say that maybe you will like home health. It does have some advantages. You can sort of make your own schedule in many cases. For me, it was...
  6. Got written up AGAIN

    Well, I, for one, am impressed with you! 60 patients IS a lot...and I know how that "pass it on" mentality goes. Hate that! Hope you enjoy
  7. Funny times

    Tell me/us about a funny moment in nursing...or one you think was funny since we have different kinds of senses of humor and don't all think the same things are funny. One I just thought of....I was...
  8. What is your nursing "joy?"

    I seriously miss bed baths...giving them, not receiving them. LOL In primary nursing, I use to give bedbaths and massages and that was my favorite
  9. As far as I know, it is still very common for hospitals to allow patients to go out and smoke in a lot of circumstances, although not
  10. Advice on creepy doctors?

    Not going alone to mgmt is good
  11. Advice on creepy doctors?

    I think your "higher ups" should have done something about it. Sheesh! I am thinking you might have to go over their heads on this. Maybe try HR. I once had a situation of sexual harassment and I...
  12. "Bless Your Heart"

    I feel you! haha I have heard it (Bless your heart) just a couple times in the work place, but I *chose* to hear it as a pleasant response. I do believe it can be condescending or sarcastic...
  13. Troll co-worker

    Exactly, I guess by ignore, I actually meant "move on"....not let it effect me as much. She is insecure. You nailed that. She wants to put me down to make herself feel better is my
  14. Troll co-worker

    I am sorry I did not mention that I did not ignore her statements regarding the procedure. I answered them briefly. She didn't respond. She seemed like she wanted to...but she did not. I guess, in...
  15. Troll co-worker

    I didn't mean to literally ignore. I meant to ignore the attempts at an argument. When someone believes that what you said is wrong, it could take a lengthy conversation to correct them or come to an...
  16. Who teaches essential nursing skills?

    I had the exact same clinical experience in my RN Assoc. Degree program in the early 2000's. However, I had done most of the procedures as a
  17. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

    I can think of a couple things. Overstating the amt of work a person has and not doing the work they are supposed to do and taking credit for
  18. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

    I'm not sure how you have been managing so far, but, as someone else said...you seem to be doing fine. I just started a new job and can't seem to escape talking to people. I'd love to just give yes...
  19. Professionalism....name your irritation here!

    The knowing someone thing can allow some people to get away with much more than I ever dreamed...but I have witnessed it as
  20. question about age

    Can't disagree with you, except I would hire a nurse who seemed very well seasoned over the extra young one every time, if I were doing the interviewing. Most of us have also been patients, and, as a...
  21. Me too. I loved it...like the old military saying, "The hardest job I ever loved" or something like that. It can be very rewarding if you feel you did a good job at the end of the day. I still think...
  22. question about age

    That is an interesting question. I feel like I have aged some since menopause, a MVA last year, and a couple other issues. I often wonder if that plays a role in the jobs I don't get although the...
  23. Asking for prayers: multiple nursing students died in car accident

    Sorry to hear this. Hope the two critically injured pull through. Prayers for
  24. Nurses forced to work as aides

    Interesting topic. I guess it has a lot to do with what you are use to. In the hospital where I spent my first very nearly 10 years, we had no Nurse's Aides or Nurses Assts to speak of. There was...
