  2. "He wants his Ativan? Well I'm not giving it to him"

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to learnfromthis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The nurse herself should have gone to the patient to state why she wasn't giving it. You should not have to be the one to tell the patient anything about the nurses response I work in psych so I...

  3. Would you have called out?

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    If there is something rare that comes up that you feel you have to attend on your chosen weekend, I would not ask for it off in advance since they can keep records of what dates you request. And...

  4. one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    This OP has to be a joke. I just can't believe any normal person would post something like this on a professional nursing website. Seriously....if she is for real, I hope her 'beloved' reports her...

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm watching all the seasons of ER now because I never watched it when it was on TV LOL. Also like Night Shift and am looking forward to the upcoming Chicago Med, a spinoff of the Chicago Fire and PD...

  6. Nurses can eat properly if they manage their time

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I would never choose to work in an environment where I was not allowed a 30 min lunch break. I find it ridiculous that this is even tolerated. We are mandated to take 30 and each nurse goes 1 or 2...

  7. Being an individual

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to Circulate's topic in Men in Nursing

    After spending 25 years in the 9 to 5 office environment, I love not having to look fashionable and buy clothes. I love wearing the same color scrubs everyday. No more laundry and clothing choices....

  8. Another topic about all 3 shifts. Not just Day vs. Night

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to Starletta's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I like sleeping in and being able to sleep during the night, but I don't like 3-11 shift because you can't do anything socially if most of your friends are only available between 5 and 9 pm. Can't...

  9. Reconsidering Nursing

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to mestiza98's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP...this sounds like something I would write. At almost a year as a nurse myself, there are many days I feel inadequate and wish I stayed in my previous 9-5 cubicle world. Fortunately, I work in...

  10. Am I going to a bad school or is it like this for everyone?!

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to DoulaJessie's topic in General Students

    If I had a "bad" teacher in class or didn't understand a topic, I looked elsewhere for better explanation, such as You Tube. I'm a visual/hands on learner so I supplemented a lot of textbook...

  12. Passed with 122 questions on second try!! Read me!

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to GinabinaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OP... This forum is often a toxic cesspool of snark and eye rolling unless your topic is of interest to 'seasoned' nurses. See the thread titled FLAME ON for examples of 'forbidden' topics. NCLEX...

  13. Squeamish future nursing student

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to mecapon91's topic in General Students

    If you can make it through nursing school and still can't get past the stench, you can always go into psych nursing. Unless it is a med/psych unit there is virtually no 'gross' ... unless we have a...

  14. Forced to resign, new grad with only 1 year of experinece.

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    Ruby --- proud member of the Crusty Old Bat Society. Nothing but snark and nastiness with no concept of therapeutic communication towards those around her--unless they too are members of the COBS. I...

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to jensjo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. The FIT Nurse

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well OP, hopefully you have not just p@ssed off your future overweight hiring manager or preceptor. New nurse jobs are hard to come by. I would change your name here. Nothing worse than a...

  20. Newly hired nurse

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to Walkingbad's topic in General Nursing

    Last year I booked and paid for a trip that ended up being in the middle of my orientation long before I got interviewed and hired for the job. In this scenario my new employer was okay with it since...

  21. Regarding chronic tardiness

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Just like a blind person cannot be an airline pilot, a person with no sense of time, whose prompt presence is required as to not affect someone else's time or money, should not be a floor nurse. No...

  25. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    MidLifeRN2012 replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    It is sad Brandon, however, not MY choice....but the one who rejected Christ and those who tried to share Him. I mean..since we can't bring it up in 'polite society', what can we Christians do but to...
