  1. I love a nurse

    Erythropoiesis replied to johnsbro's topic in Emergency

    I'm not a nurse yet either but I think we've all had horrible, horrible days at work (or days in general) at least once. When she has one of those days, have the dishwasher unloaded, sink empty, and...

  2. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    No, no, no! Use your extra time to sleep before study group. You aren't a free tutor or a charity or her mother. If I am waking up early to tutor ANYONE, my rate of pay is

  3. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    How have you been friends with this person for 10

  4. Will I be looked down upon?

    Erythropoiesis replied to GaJenRN's topic in General Nursing

    This may sound stupid but being board certified in a certain specialty as an RN is something I didn't know you could do. Sounds intriguing! I've worked with children for 13 years and can't not see...

  5. Do things get better?

    Erythropoiesis replied to champagneferret's topic in Emergency

    I can only imagine that this kind of thing takes lots of time to adjust to. I don't have any experience with people coding but I do know what it's like to feel absolutely out of your mind. I am not a...

  6. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Erythropoiesis replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is accurate. I did it once (non work related) and you should have seen the girls face when I played it back to her. It never even made it to court. Issue was resolved right then.

  7. "My Nurses"

    Erythropoiesis replied to HairyMurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seems like a compliment, or a sign of respect to be honest. It implies a sense of teamwork and unity to refer to team members as "yours" and "mine" and "we". I do a lot of private, personalized child...

  8. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I am a millennial and I have taken out no loans nor are my parents paying a dime towards my education, anything involving my education, or any of my living expenses at all for that matter. I just...

  9. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live the cost of living is very low and the cheapest possible apartment I've been able to locate was $550 and that is smack dab in the ghetto. $250 is possible here if I live with 5 other...

  10. I just had surgery and now I don't think I have what it takes

    Erythropoiesis replied to 2soon2beOTC's topic in General Nursing

    You are all kinds of heavy duty pain killers, am I right? You just had surgery. Don't think about all this stuff right now--come back to it later. Happy healing! It's worth mentioning that nobody...

  11. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Erythropoiesis replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agreed. It may be a little distasteful to get visibly angry at the workplace, but it can't possibly trump what he has been doing to you. I think all it will take is one perfectly timed, "Ok...you know...

  12. RN or DNP?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Either way, you're gonna be an RN first. Also, NPs have a huge amount of

  13. Nursing school supplies

    Erythropoiesis replied to xdrowe's topic in General Students

    I just paid attention when I read. It stuck to me I guess. The only time I used flash cards in micro was when I had to memorize several different kinds of antibiotics but I try not to rely on...

  14. Nursing school supplies

    Erythropoiesis replied to xdrowe's topic in General Students

    By spacing I mean that everyone learns much better when their study sessions are frequent and spaced out appropriately. So instead of trying to cram for a test for 8 hours the day before, your brain...

  15. 10 year old died after I performed CPR

    Erythropoiesis replied to MjHudd's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow, I'm very sorry you experienced this. One thing I do want to say that may make it easier is that we only do CPR when the person is clinically dead. His heart wasn't beating and he wasn't...

  16. Nursing school supplies

    Erythropoiesis replied to xdrowe's topic in General Students

    I don't start my program until August but I achieved my near 4.0 prenursing GPA by repetition, spacing, and sleep. That's it. Go over all of the material frequently, space out your study sessions...

  17. Nursing Student Working At A Hospital

    Erythropoiesis replied to JayPerez930's topic in General Students

    In my area, everyone is so desperate to hire more nurses that nobody blinks an eye at whether the applicant worked in healthcare or not. I imagine that this is a regional thing. I work in a totally...

  18. Giving up my dog

    Erythropoiesis replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I went homeless for year, was taken in by a generous friend, and still managed to find arrangements for my pets so they would stay with me. In that period of time, one of them was diagnosed with a few...

  19. Giving up my dog

    Erythropoiesis replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    **Deleted** A repeat of my other

  20. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    The stereotype that Jewish people are rich/good with money played into his

  21. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Ok but define "luxury". I grew up poor and let me tell you, being "firmly in middle class" sounds BEYOND luxurious and I fantasize about the day when I won't have to worry about how I'll get my next...

  22. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Erythropoiesis replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Also, the next time he lays so much as a finger on you, even if he looks at you funny, you need to directly and LOUDLY tell him to stop. Example: Creep grabs your arm and makes an inappropriate...

  23. Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    Erythropoiesis replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh. My. God. First of all, I applaud your self control. I'd have punched the reality back into him right in front of 10 coworkers and probably a cop. Speaking of cops, you need to call them and file...

  24. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely agreed. This is an important point OP. I'm 24 years old and I learned this only about a year or two ago. Unnecessary stuff doesn't bring happiness--it provides you with a 30 minute thrill,...

  25. Starting RN program this fall - what to expect?

    Erythropoiesis replied to charleyq's topic in General Students

    I'm starting in August of this year but or school had us download and read the 2016 nursing student handbook which we are to print out and bring to orientation. Basically it it says the same thing...
