  1. Husband became a RN

    cherryelle07 replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    Based on her second response, I don't think that's the case. I think he resentment from that time BEFORE he went to nursing school is souring the situation further, but I do think she's happy for him....

  2. Husband became a RN

    cherryelle07 replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    Now that the OP has clarified and filled in some holes... I now believe it's not so much of a competition, but more of a bit of jealousy. I'm sure she's happy for her husband, but I think she wishes...

  3. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    cherryelle07 replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    I walk through the door at 8:30PM, so if they relied on me to cook, we wouldn't be eating until 9:30pm. So my boyfriend just cooks on the days I work. I cook on my days off. It's an even trade. We...

  4. Husband became a RN

    cherryelle07 replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it's a loss of identity issue as well. Not only were promises were made and failed to fulfill, but being a nurse was HER identity. An identity she herself worked very hard for. According...

  5. Frustrated

    cherryelle07 replied to NurseMom2014's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get discouraged and more importantly don't job hop or leave if you truly do like what you are currently doing. Maybe you just need some extra training. Talk to your superiors and let them know...

  6. How Can I Have The "College Experience" While Attending Nursing School?

    cherryelle07 replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in General Students

    But you will make friends once you start doing different activities. It's important that you create supportive and understanding relationships. Last thing you need is friends who don't quite...

  7. Husband became a RN

    cherryelle07 replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. However, it can be pretty demoralizing for someone to dream of becoming something all of their life. Work hard to achieve that dream and then backed into a job they don't enjoy by a...

  8. How Can I Have The "College Experience" While Attending Nursing School?

    cherryelle07 replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in General Students

    Also talk to your friends and explain to them that sometimes you'll have to say no or cancel. Nursing school is a busy time and while it can be done to experience the college experience it's nice to...

  9. Husband became a RN

    cherryelle07 replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    Oh sweetheart... I get the feeling that you're the "suffer in silence" type. You probably bend over backwards for the people you love and your feelings and desires probably take a backseat. Which...

  10. showering: before or after work

    cherryelle07 replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    After. I work 12 hour shifts and we only have one bathroom at our house... Kids are usually in bed or on their way to bed by the time I get home, so I can shower in peace without someone knocking on...

  11. "I work in the medical field"

    cherryelle07 replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    My boyfriend says this when he tells people what I do for a living. Personally I just say I'm a patient care technician and explain what it is if people ask. I think it's easier for him to say "She...

  12. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    cherryelle07 replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Haha this thread reminded me to get my flu shot. Asked my NP to administer it about an hour ago.

  13. One thing i dont understand(at the nurses' station)

    cherryelle07 replied to BellaCat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't care if someone speaks another language in a professional setting. I do care about your volume. Private conversations are fine as long as they do not disturb or effect another coworker's...

  14. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    cherryelle07 replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Oh she's aware. But she's convinced that there's a huge conspiracy to discredit him and swears up and down that he's right. She won't listen to reason. She's one of those crunchy moms who believe in a...

  15. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    cherryelle07 replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Our clinic is donating a meal to Feeding America for every flu shot we give. I know someone who believes vaccine caused her son to develop autism. Never mind the emerging research that suggests that...

  16. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    cherryelle07 replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't either. I work in a walk in clinic, so its recommended and free, but not required. We are only required to get an annual

  17. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    cherryelle07 replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my goodness the melodrama in this thread both entertains and induces an eye roll so severe, they might just get stuck. Yes.... Those Cooperate Overlords TOTALLY want ALL of their employees laid up...

  18. "I do the same thing as an RN"

    cherryelle07 replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard a lot of talk about LPNs being phased out. The FNP I work with even advised me to go straight for my ADN for this reason. I wouldn't be surprised if ADNs are phased out and BSNs are the...

  19. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    cherryelle07 replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    We just found out that CAPNI is lobbying to get the IHSAA to change its outdated bylaws regarding preparticipation sports physicals. And just about every parent I've talked to is annoyed beyond belief...

  20. Initial Drug Test

    cherryelle07 replied to Damiapa's topic in General Nursing

    No judgement here. More confusion. There chances of you testing positive after that long is extremely minimal. You're more likely to have a false positive due to a medication you used. That or it was...

  21. I don't have time to pee!

    cherryelle07 replied to bossman's topic in General Nursing

    I've forgotten to pee a few times. It's completely possible when you have 5 patients walk in at the same time and you spend an hour and a half registering and rooming all of them. But I definitely...

  22. Bring Your own TP

    cherryelle07 replied to Catcar1963's topic in Private Duty

    I remember when I did reshab care a few years ago and we had similar issues. Thankfully I had wonderful managers who reminded the guardians and family frequently that the staff didn't work for them,...

  23. Are you jealous of other nurses jobs/abilities?

    cherryelle07 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't worry about that sort of thing. Success and passion can be found in the most unlikely places. I never even considered nursing until I worked as a DSP for a residential rehabilitation...

  24. The film: Vaxxed.

    cherryelle07 replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Amen! However... I didn't have sex until I was 21. I was afraid it was gonna hurt. LOL That's what I'm telling my 13 year old. That it hurts and that she should wait until she's fully grown. Meaning...

  25. The film: Vaxxed.

    cherryelle07 replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    It's not the fear of unvaccinated children infecting vaccinated children. It's the fear of unvaccinated children getting infected PERIOD when it can be prevented and spreading it to OTHER unvaccinated...
