    Are We Too PC?

    pixierose replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to disagree; this song isn't appropriate at all, even in 2018. You can squint and look at it the way you're looking at it ... A few other lines ... "Do they know it's Christmas?" Er, probably...

    Are We Too PC?

    pixierose replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes, "tonight, thank God it's them instead of you." Band Aid made a song chock full of horribly inaccurate and condescending lyrics with, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" that smacks of white...

    pixierose replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    Ohhhhh, I like this. It's better than taking Audrey's flu shots and stabbing him with one. You guys are great ❤️. After another evening of ghostly behavior, it's good to laugh

    pixierose replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    Aww, Davey ... you just made me bust out laughing for the first time in days ❤️! Yeah. I don't think that's it. His wife also works with him on the unit. I'll keep an eye out for dry...

    Profanity in the workplace

    pixierose replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I try not to use profanity while in the proximity of patients (the med room is a different story) but one did slip out the other night ... I was at my per diem psych job, and we were "asked" (read:...

    Life's little irritations...

    pixierose replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    Oh! Oh! I have one. It's actually really upsetting me, to be honest. There's a doc on my unit that completely ignores me. Acts like I am completely invisible. I am the only, and I mean ONLY, nurse he...

    Why are accelerated BSN programs closing?

    pixierose replied to lexladybug's topic in General Nursing

    Might be local ... I'm a grad of an ABSN, and that program has an enormous waiting list and was highly competitive (last time I saw it was 3 years). There are two other schools in the area that just...

    Did this patient overreact?!

    Why do you love being a nurse?

    pixierose replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    It's a job and pays the bills. I didn't get into nursing because "it's my calling" and because I love it; rather, I enjoy it most days but some days ... well, everyone has their bad days where you...

    Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

    pixierose replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Guns are here to stay. I'm not here to speak in place of every gun control advocate, but as much as I would love to abolish them, we'd never get rid of them all. There is simply too many. And there...

    Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

    pixierose replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I think there is a point being missed here. With Adam Lanza, there was an entire *dynamic* going on there. He didn't merely steal guns; his mother purchased these types of guns for him. So many, many...

    Whoever you asked for advice, it certainly wasn't under this screen name. And the people on here give fantastic advice ... for those who actually seek it. Especially about depression. Like Hoosier...

    And THIS, THIS post is a big part of the problem. You have no clue what you're talking about, making it impossible for both sides to meet in the middle. You have pre conceived notions of what these...

    Ok, I'll pretend this is real for a sec. (A.) why on earth would you need to wait two months? (B.) ok, I just can't go there ... I've been in bad spots before and, no. Escorting wasn't the first...

    Boomerang Coworkers

    pixierose replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I had/have a good relationship w/my NM, and I emailed her to see if there were still openings. She responded quickly to have me call her, and the rest is history. Basically, I had me a piece of humble...

    pixierose replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I left, but came back to my psych job per diem (1-2x/week). I find that learning the grass isn't always greener made my attitude toward my former job much more positive. Things aren't as bad as I...
