  1. I didn't become a nurse to feed people's addictions. Do *nurses* have the right to refuse

    run.for.the.roses replied to Thankgodforativan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is this not a reasonable discussion because some answers were not supportive of your concerns? Are you thanking God for ativan for yourself or your patients? Do you have a right to refuse meds...

  3. What would you do if you knew someone was actively using

    run.for.the.roses posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hypothetically speaking of course...I have two friends who are also RNs and work together. One friend is using, we both know this, and are at a loss as to what to do about it. I brought her a coffee...

  5. Will I become a bad nurse? How should I change?

    run.for.the.roses replied to blueus's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I was trying to be funny, and really hope you do not take offense! I really was a jerk, a jerk with a big heart, haha. Putting myself in other's shoes, as cliché as it sounds, has helped me...

  6. What would you do if you knew someone was actively using

    run.for.the.roses replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you... This is one of my oldest and dearest friends. I am not drawing any conclusions about any other nurses with abuse issues, let's just say I know, we are very close and have been for a very...

  7. Will I become a bad nurse? How should I change?

    run.for.the.roses replied to blueus's topic in General Nursing

    I would start with please don't take offense to this, but I'll save it because what I am about to say is offensive...You are not a "type A personality", what you may possibly be is an a**hole. The...

  8. Can I only ever work with children?

    run.for.the.roses replied to mapajasa's topic in General Nursing

    I considered nursing for labor and delivery, fell in love with the idea of peds heme/oncology, graduated thinking wow, the possibilities are endless! And I love so many specialties, I can't wait to...

  9. Fired from first job..."not eligible for re-hire"

    run.for.the.roses posted a topic in General Nursing

    I still hate to utter the words, even five months later...I was fired from my first job after only eight weeks. I just applied to a different department, and somehow my application snuck by HR. I...

  10. Fired from first job..."not eligible for re-hire"

    run.for.the.roses replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing

    In reality I am, on here I turned into a defensive little brat for a minute, but that's not me, really. Guess I had a "poor me" moment or two, but while I am still annoyed with the preceptor's...

  12. Fired from first job..."not eligible for re-hire"

    run.for.the.roses replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks :) It became bad timing between accepting the position, and starting. I think there was a five week window. Things happen, you think you've got it, it will work itself out, I mean it always...

  13. Fired from first job..."not eligible for re-hire"

    run.for.the.roses replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing

    The sick kiddo part is only about location. Would have been nice to be here just in case, instead of over an hour away, but that's more a luxury "just in case there ever is a real emergency". I...

  14. Mr. Harry the Excessive Hair Patient

    run.for.the.roses replied to Barbie8808's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I had a confused elderly woman, incontinent, no family, we were ruling out cdiff, and she's losing loose stool at the rate of approx. 10gal/min, give or take. Now she wasn't so hairy that at...

    run.for.the.roses replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I would probably throw a similar response out there. Yes, I got defensive, while trying to argue every rebuttal, apparently I came off as "spoiled and entitled", and certainly didn't mean...

    run.for.the.roses replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing

    I was only 17 minutes late when the axle broke in my car landing me in a ditch. I called and let them know. Things do happen that are out of our control

    run.for.the.roses replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks again for the feedback, and I understand that life doesn't happen to some people, you will always have excellent attendance, never be late, and never let anything interfere with your job. I...

  18. Nursing school help

    run.for.the.roses replied to Kaut9200's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe rethink your path, there are severalv programs that accept a "C" average, even if it's an ADN program. A friend of mine struggled to get the C+ her program needed, and ultimately applied to a...

    run.for.the.roses replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing

    Hahah absolutely I can tell you why I was "really fired"...But why is everyone here a "liar"??? I was joking about the pity party part, really, just wondering who has authority here... I was late...

    run.for.the.roses replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing
