CBlover BSN, RN

Carson Newman DOES NOT provide preceptors. I have a friend at Carson Newman. She has had to search for her own.

I'm currently enrolled at Walden in the FNP program. Anyone has questions about what is new or anything I can try to answer. I start clinical in March.

I haven't read a single comment, but I get asked all the time, even today (am working) was asked if I am from "around here." And I'm white as white gets and in the South. Pts just like to start conversation.

I've been on AN since 2015. Was pregnant and sitting in a recliner with my feet up and bored. Had been a stalker for years, but joining has made it much more fun and engaging. My biggest accomplishment. Hmm. I would say being a mom of an all-boy 3 ye...

Ok yall so I need some insight. I've been working at my current job for almost 2 years. There is an older guy that works here, a pharmacist, in his 60s that has often chatted with me and I literally never thought anything of it. He's a very interesti...

I guess I am confused on how it's illegal. Because, for example, I have a friend who is not an RN or LPN but she's worked for a gastroenterologist for years, and she calls herself "Dr. Reed's nurse." And he refers to her as his "nurse." She has a deg...

I GET SO TIRED OF THIS TOO!!!!! Whenever I call the peds office for my 3 y.o. with an illness and don't necessarily need a visit and I ask to speak to the nurse, I swear it's this young 18, 19 y.o. dude that doesn't even wear a badge that calls himse...

Well the fact I am 30 and he's in his 60s characterizes him as too old a date lol. Doesn't mean 60s is "old."

Exactly. I do not agree that in any fashion is it "a term of endearment" as some have suggested when a male calls a female coworker "beautiful." To follow up, word must have gotten to him. I have not seen him but maybe twice since I posted originall...

I haven't read but a few comments. Simply, I would have snapped on time 1 if someone called me anything negative in front or not in front of a pt. They'd gotten their head bit OFF. That's bullying and absolutely unacceptable. Nuff said.

I can't understand why your boss would comment that if you got more tats you wouldn't be able to go far in nursing basically. That's bs. I know male nurses with their whole chest and arms tattooed. They just wear long sleeves under their scrubs. Cult...

First of all, its HIPAA, not HIPPA. Second, sounds like a homework question. And no your aunt didn't violate HIPAA but you can by posting stuff like this. Leave work completely out of social media. Period.

Ok so I just have a blunt question to ask, is it "racist" to note peculiarities around different cultures? Does everyone need to be expected to just ignore that some ethnicities do have possibly different values and norms??? I mean, anymore it's like...

If I refused to care for a white supremacists, as much as that disgusts me, I'd be as guilty of partiality and prejudice as him. That's the way I see it.

Great story!! thanks for sharing!

Believe it or not mine means Cracker Barrel lover I kid you not LOLOLOL It was off the cuff and nobody had it and so CBlover it is!!

I'm an ER nurse and I want basically the chief complaint, tests run, and maybe age. That's it. We'll get all the info ourselves anyway so why waste their time and ours.

Must have been Gordon Ramsay in one of those disguises lol. I love watching his show and he loses it when his newbies don't taste the food they make.

In training or not, you should have known not to leave 30 Norco's out on a counter for anyone to grab. I'd a fired your butt. No reason to make it sweet.

I hate that we even have such fools in this country to demand what freaking color skin takes care of them. Shameful.

Congratulations!!

I couldn't agree more. I feel like we MAJORLY over-treat and people know it and they just keep coming back like the neighborhood cats. I feel like if there were more "treat & street" Docs the waiting room wouldn't back up with 20 people simply be...

Just read this after I posted. Exactly.

Quite frankly I don't know if I believe half that crap. She told MORE THAN ONE PERSON including a LAWYER she was killing people and everybody basically went "meh"?!?! I can't. She is a serial killer. Her brainwaves are screwed. As far as I'm concerne...

I can totally relate and as a matter of fact, I also wear HOKA, and they seem to work ok for me. However, yesterday was an odd exception. I was in terrible pain in my feet and lower legs as well. One thing I have found, and it may seem crazy to some,...
