    Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    AutumnApple replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    You should show your drawings here somehow. I want to see them. I have about as much talent for art as a water buffalo, but I admire it. I love pencil

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    AutumnApple replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    Just want to add to my point that most of us are not talking about the same thing when we debate "respect". The word "respect" is much like the word "love". I love my mother and father. I love my...

    Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    AutumnApple replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Something I want to throw out there, and I'm pleased to see this has not come up yet: If your desire is to say "no" to the flu shot and you find yourself with some tough choices to make, remain clam,...

    Making Nursing Education More Universal

    AutumnApple replied to AutumnApple's topic in General Nursing

    Hmph, I think I'm half way between where we are now and llg. There should be flexibility, yes, in the form of electives. But you used the term "generous number of electives" and that'd be where we...

    First job offer has bad Google reviews.

    AutumnApple replied to Bratt88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My opinion of Google reviews is that it's just another source of information. No more or less reliable than any of the other sources you could be going to. There are many ways to get information on...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    AutumnApple replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    For me, the debate about whether respect is a given (a human right) or earned is a fruitless following. Semantics make constructive discussion on the topic almost impossible. What I mean by respect is...

    What Kind of Threads Do You ENJOY Reading?

    AutumnApple replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I like Game of Thrones related threads. Haven't figured out how to relate it to nursing yet, so can't make a topic for it I'm gonna figure it out one day

    ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    AutumnApple replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    Well, I'm not a fan of pretending to be "in the know" when you are not. So can anyone fill me in? Why was ITT so bad? I know nothing about them to be honest. Seems everyone here is in agreement...

    Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    Oh my, men just don't get it. And then they wonder why we watch the ones who do it on TV and

    Social Media and Emotional IQ

    AutumnApple replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    "In social media, it's tempting to shoot from the hip, especially when writing behind an anonymous handle." Which is why I have a personal rule of not sitting at the computer and logging into...

    Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    AutumnApple replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Really? As a hobby? You still get paid I hope. Kudos to you, I couldn't do it. Me, I like to read, I'm completing the Game of Thrones series right now. Bike riding too (pedal bikes that is)....

    My two cents.

    AutumnApple replied to Nursey Me's topic in General Nursing

    That sums it up for me. There is a big difference between looking for advice and looking for someone to co-sign your..........(thinks of a word that works for TOS)..........shortcomings. Too many are...

    Recycled topics (vent)

    AutumnApple replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    OMG. IDK why people do that. New laws against text speak FTW B/C it's just so stupid anyway. BTW, isn't too much text speak against TOS? SMH, people have no respect anymore. My parents would take...

    AutumnApple replied to Kharma711's topic in General Nursing

    NicuGal has the right of it. The parts I highlighted above are where I believe you made a mistake. Your mistake was that you validated him. You validated his assuming authority over you that he does...

    Need opinions please

    AutumnApple replied to Caroline123's topic in General Nursing

    It's important to look at this as a learning experience. You're not fired, and if you avoid having a track record or repeated episodes of the same behavior, you should be fine. Not being fired means...

    Recycled topics (vent)

    AutumnApple replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed the repetitive topic threads. To be honest, I didn't take it as the TC should have searched older threads. Lets face it, we're all chronically unique. We think our experiences with...

    A Labor Day Poll - Your Preferred Model Of Care

    AutumnApple replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    *For Me* Patient Focused Care is what a lot of LTC facilities go with. On paper, it looks wonderful and efficient. RNs do the things no one else can from a "care manager" (as you put it) role. Too...

    Does this feeling ever go away?

    AutumnApple replied to ps3114's topic in General Nursing

    I can only share my experience. I used to have that feeling. I do not anymore. The path that took me from the nurse who felt that way to not is complicated and already been written about. I'll just...

    With a criminal record should I even try to get into nursing school?

    AutumnApple replied to missjackiep3's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Just something I want to throw out there too: Just because a school lets you take their program does not be default mean you're free and clear to sit for boards or be licensed. The schools only job...

    Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    AutumnApple replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    I'll support the theory that nurses must exude good health when: Accountants accept being fired if they bounce a personal check.............. Home improvement contractors can't accept work unless...

    False reporting to BON

    AutumnApple replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in General Nursing

    Much ado about nothing. Some things that crossed my mind while reading the OP: 1. I lost track of how many times you referred to her as "mentally unstable". Are you sure you were the "friend" to her...

    Is adequate rest the most important factor in enjoying night shift?

    AutumnApple replied to Hmfog's topic in General Nursing

    I did nights for some time, so despite my problems with it and my hating it, it was either adjust or find a new job. I went through a period where I was functioning, but not ideally. During that time...

    CNA scope of practice issue on my unit

    "Certified" Nursing Assistant. Yes, CNAs most definitely have a scope of practice. Education on what is in their scope of practice is one of the biggest differences between CNAs and nursing...
