  1. Do other RN's imply you give "too much" nursing care??? (long vent)

    Mirai Kangofu replied to ICURN_NC's topic in General Nursing

    I see nothing wrong with it and encourage such treatment as long as 1) it's not interfering with being able to finish your portion of the workload 2) the patient isn't getting too spoiled by thinking...

  2. How useful would a Spanish major be?

    Mirai Kangofu replied to hap2828's topic in General Nursing

    Go for it!!! You'd be in great demand. I'm trying to improve my Spanish by having friends talk to me. I wonder if they sell bilingual dictionaries of medical

  3. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

    Mirai Kangofu replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    Man oh man, I was at a CPR course the other day, and the group of girls behind me (I think they were still in high school) would not shut up. They were giggling and yakking during the lecture and...

  4. Physically attacked on the job?

    Mirai Kangofu replied to KungFuFtr's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you on sharp toenails. We're supposed to get a podiatrist to cut thick elder nails, but it never happens. During CNA clinicals, one of the tasks was to file down someone's nails (no clippers...

  6. No Houston CNA jobs?

    Mirai Kangofu posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I got my CNA license back in September, but I haven't been able to find a job to save my life. During the fall semester, they didn't want me because I couldn't work full time. Now, I'm out of school...

  7. No Houston CNA jobs?

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, you're right. The influx of Katrina refugees has affected the job market. Also, the companies want to hire more nurses rather than aides or

  8. Houston schools: TWU or UT ?

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Alternator81's topic in Texas Nursing

    UT Houston has the most impossible phone navigation. All you can do is leave a message and hope that it'll get answered. I might not apply just because it's given me so much trouble, which I consider...

  9. Physically attacked on the job?

    Mirai Kangofu replied to KungFuFtr's topic in General Nursing

    I was taking care of an 82-year old women who was severely confused during CNA clinicals. She thought that she was being assulted whenever someone tried to care for her, and fought as hard as she...

  10. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

    Mirai Kangofu replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    I can't stand people who go on about how they could/would be a Physician's Assistant or a doctor, but for whatever reason (not enough money, can't juggle a job and school at the same, not enough time,...

  14. "Just" a nurse? You can do so much better!

    Mirai Kangofu posted a topic in General Nursing

    When I announce my choice of career, I often get looks of disappointment along with the, "But... you're too smart to be a nurse. You should be a doctor," line, or, "Oh, you couldn't get into med...

  15. Do you get crude jokes about your field?

    Mirai Kangofu posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do you people in the OB/GYN field have problems with people when you tell them about your job? The other day, I was talking to some people about nursing, and I mentioned that I was considering the...

  16. Do you get crude jokes about your field?

    Paging Dr. Nick (The quack doctor from the Simpsons). This thread is scaring me. I will definately question any seemingly unnecessary procedures in the

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks futureTMA, I was going to ask about the age thing but forgot. Thanks for the reassurance that people may mature. Does the "locker room talk" subside as males mature? I know that the chances of...

    Mirai Kangofu replied to LIZ_RN's topic in Pediatric

    Wow, are parents as bad as the horror stories I've heard? My friend told me about one kid who was going into surgery and had an NPO order, yet the mom was sneaking food in. She denied it, but then...

    Mirai Kangofu replied to NurseKitty NC's topic in General Nursing

    Midwife2be, Your story is very illustrative of how non-discrimination has gone way too far. Nursing cannot allow such a large probability of error. My dad's a high school teacher, he has seen similar...

  21. "Just" a nurse? You can do so much better!

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    Follow-up: I ended up not giving her the letter. Instead, I made it an Abraham Lincoln Letter. You know, when you write a letter, put it in an envelope, and put it in your desk drawer rather than send...

  22. "Just" a nurse? You can do so much better!

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you on that one. My Japanese side of the family sees nursing as "cute." In other words, it's noble, but still a pink-collar job in which you get to wear a pretty outfit and be a caring angel to...

    Mirai Kangofu replied to NurseKitty NC's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that homeschooling is intrinsically responsible for poor social skills, but the conditions surrounding it can be. For example, my friend Beth was homeschooled by her ex-vet mom who...

    I tried the patch. I put it on on a Sunday night, and by Monday morning, i was vomiting, dizzy, emotional, and had to crawl across campus to turn in a paper while vomiting the entire time. It was...
