    Tattoos?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    People who think that ink under the skin says anything about your education or character are so small-minded. Sorry, I don't think suburban white middle-class 1960's is the only acceptable look. I...

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    "lmao" I did not intend to imply that you did. I was referring to the way the manager treated her. It sounded like you thought the manager must have behaved reasonably in firing her (that there must...

    Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    It's not an excuse to ask other people to carry them, but people don't get to choose what symptoms their mental illness creates. It's like saying your car works just fine so you don't understand why...

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    BT2012 said there had been two perfectly explainable discrepancies and that she was dismissed without a sufficient investigation to obtain the facts. My experiences in life and nursing have destroyed...

    Seriously?? Small rant.

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    I did not find most classes incredibly challenging, but that doesn't change the fact that being a nurse means you possess specialized knowledge that took years to acquire, took a licensure exam to...

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    I think you said the manager dismissed your EXPLANATION of the first issue, and other people thought you said she dismissed the issue itself. I could be wrong but going back to previous pages is...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    Clara, I'm glad that you have friends who were able to help you academically and that you reciprocated by supporting them in other ways. That's not the situation OP is describing, though. Needing...

    Ice machine use in hospitals

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to olcroner's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the need to point out that "a nursing social media post resulted in many posts by users who agree with me" is NOT evidence or evidence-based practice. It is people using knowledge and reason to...

    What sort of physical labour do nurses do?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to kater_92's topic in General Nursing

    OP: I would first talk to you doctor about how to best manage your condition while going through the program. You made an excellent choice by choosing to build your strength before you even begin;...

    What sort of physical labour do nurses do?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to kater_92's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I never thought about how much of what we do involves leaning forward until I had an injury where leaning forward caused pain. I am short, so regardless of he height of the bed, there is no way...

    Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    That behavior is an attempt to manipulate you. She's cut off communication to punish you for not helping her. You don't need to feed her pettiness by continuing to try to contact her when she's...

    Question about fent OD?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to benmca13's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Lots of good things have been said, but I'm also going to zero in on this timeline. They left her unresponsive an entire shift before they tried to do something about it? Something is rotten in...

    "I will not set fire to myself to keep you warm." This is July, so probably a summer class? SHE spent 4 weeks or 6 weeks - or 8 or 10 - digging her own hole, not you. If her problem is ADHD, you...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    My girl blew one knee and (as they are wont to do when the first has gone) a few months later the other. Didn't think twice about repair; I've spent far more on my dogs than my cars (priorities ) On a...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Poor baby! A vet gave me IV fluids to squeeze subq by hand once, but it was subq, I worked for the vet at the time, and had an unbelievably placid cat. Getting an IV on a dog itself is a two person...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to chaseloveRN's topic in General Nursing

    It may honestly be about the lifting restriction. I had restrictions after an injury at work and they would not let me return; if you cannot do all the work, you don't get to do any work. It may also...

    95 Theses of Healthcare Injustice

    Anna, I respect where you're coming from, but I can't look past OP's specific words. And regarding someone coming to them in pain, "Pain is now 6th vital sign because no one values overcoming pain or...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    All this I was also bothered by the patient-blaming. Sure, there are noncompliant patients with chronic illnesses. But there are also patients who developed chronic illnesses as a result of a lifetime...
