  1. What is a professional nurse?

    katscan replied to ainz's topic in General Nursing

    We are Not assets to the hospital. At least not in the way some of the other staff is. We don't have a voice, we can't make rules, we can't even govern our own profession in that other personell...

    katscan replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    What goes around comes around. She is getting what she deserves. Maybe then she will not be so quick to judge the helpless. I actually hope she hurts so much that she learns a lesson and regrets her...

    katscan replied to stella123 rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally agree with you. It just makes me sick that with our educations and THE LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY we have ,we are not valued more. I am proud of being a nurse!! I never refer to myself as...

  5. How Rude!!!

    katscan replied to stella123 rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Physician envy?? Was your comment directed at me? Let me repeat that I do not regret my decision to be a nurse in ANY way, and do not "envy " physicians. You are putting words in my mouth if this...

  6. How Rude!!!

    katscan replied to stella123 rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do not think the guy was rude at all. Let's face it folks, doctors command more respect immediately than nurses-especially with our multiple ways of getting our RN. He is being practical-physicians...

  9. Help!On the job injury!!!

    katscan replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    I feel so sorry for you..........The pain must be terrible! And to think you were only trying to help someone. It makes me sick that that hospital cannot take care of it's own when they hurt. And...

    katscan replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    You got injured on a Friday morning, correct?Were all the emergency rooms closed? How about Urgent Care centers-do you have them? I feel your first mistake was not to seek care. Let's face it, if...

    katscan replied to twarlik's topic in General Students

    I loved micro and ended up with a B. I find that in school nursing you use many concepts. I'm dealing with communicable diseases on a daily basis, as well as using concepts I learned in epidemiology...

    katscan replied to Karina212's topic in General Nursing

    I was so out of my niche that I dropped out of nursing for awhile and sold cosmetics! I finally found my niche in school nursing 20 years ago and I haven't budged since. Hours are great-weekends and...

  16. Leaving my job and question about patients

    katscan replied to laurasc's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Best of luck in your new job. I wouldn't call them, as technically they are the physician's patients, unless of course you are a nurse practitioner with your own patients. You are leaving, but the...

    katscan replied to geleesa's topic in General Students

    Baseline, I don't see anything in the initial posting that should make you go off on her like you did. She is a NEW member for petes sake, and just because she labeled you as grumpy-a nice way to say...
