  1. Unfair Shift Rotation

    AllOfMyWat replied to KHVILLE's topic in General Nursing

    Your little life isn't more important than anyone else's. Guess what? I have a seven month old, and I get mandated just like everyone else. Good for you for having a baby. Go to

  2. Ever feel like you are not smart enough to be a nurse.

    AllOfMyWat replied to Kimdesiree1's topic in General Students

    A learning disability does not mean you're stupid. It means you have a special consideration or challenge. Stop being so harsh on yourself and start talking to counselors and people in the department....

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

    AllOfMyWat replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    My husband was antsy and hungry tonight when I got home, telling me all he had was wonton soup. I made him chicken cordon bleu, angelhair pasta with zucchini and mushrooms, and a German chocolate...

  4. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    AllOfMyWat replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

  5. Shift work PROBLEMS??

    AllOfMyWat replied to lparadise's topic in General Nursing

    I let people express themselves and just act as a sounding board. Silence is presumed acceptance. Everyone gets the same treatment: Neutrality and best effort. I focus on planning my RPG campaign on...

  6. Social Class and Nursing

    AllOfMyWat replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

    My parents are a blend of immigrant Jews on my mom's side, and solidly poor Americans on Dad's. My dad worked hard as a military officer, got a college education. I would describe us socially as lower...

  7. Bullying in the workplace

    AllOfMyWat replied to PrincessAlexiss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As someone who could have been that third nurse, please don't take it personally. She may even like you, and likely appreciated the silence. I'm the kind of person who goes weeks without talking to my...

  8. Bullying in the workplace

    AllOfMyWat replied to PrincessAlexiss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know what we need in nursing? More men. I mean, us women can't get through a shift without battling it out over tampons. If we're going to play the ***** card, you also have to recognize men are...

  9. How did you spend your first nursing paycheck?

    AllOfMyWat replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    Like most I paid bills, but the first fun thing I spent money on was a pink rose tattoo. That tattoo let me meet one of the most fun boyfriends I

    AllOfMyWat replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    All these bullying threads make me angry... Like maybe I should bully

  11. Frequent cancellations

    AllOfMyWat replied to firemedic12's topic in General Nursing

    Think about corrections nursing. You will never be fully staffed and always have

  12. Called in on days off...what to do?!?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Kalypso22's topic in General Nursing

    I set my rules out ahead of time. I need at least a $200 bonus to work on my week where I'm only scheduled three days. I think management can spare $200 for the sake of the

  13. Reducing Boys' Embarassment

    AllOfMyWat replied to NurseKatetheGreat's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My husband recommends being attractive, but not too attractive. Seriously, there's no way to diffuse it. Just be professional, friendly, and play it by

  14. Shift work PROBLEMS??

    AllOfMyWat replied to lparadise's topic in General Nursing

    I work with prisoners. 14 hours with them will grind on

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

    AllOfMyWat replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    I cook on my off days, mostly. I love fresh foods, but we just usually eat frozen or out on days I work. (Usually frozen now that I work 12's.) I love making food, but homemade piroshkis and chicken...

  16. Offered a job, but not? Advice please!!

    AllOfMyWat replied to Txp12's topic in General Students

    "My family is supportive," means, "My decisions are potentially contingent on their feelings. I sure hope Pop-Pop's cough doesn't evolve into lung cancer, because that's going to be hard for you." A...

  17. Offered a job, but not? Advice please!!

    AllOfMyWat replied to Txp12's topic in General Students

    Don't discuss your family. Tell them you are ready to relocate and need to be working. If they ask about your family, smile, shake your head, and tell them it's no

  18. How do you know this is what you want to do?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Stressed_'s topic in General Students

    Second in ASN or BSN? I chose not to quit because I have a talent for the

  19. New and Very Potent Danger for ER and Pre-Hospital Personnel

    AllOfMyWat replied to traumaRUs's topic in Emergency

    It's getting mixed in heroin more commonly. Guess what happens when you shoot heroin mixed with Fentanyl or

  20. Husband became a RN

    AllOfMyWat replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I was indirect. I sincerely doubt the husband's innocence, but he doesn't post here. I think he took his sweet time on making good on a promise, but he did make good. She stopped being...

  21. Husband became a RN

    AllOfMyWat replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    Grudges aren't healthy. Seriously. If my husband cried about "paying the price" when I was gone or sleeping every day to take care of our family, I'd read him the riot act. Preparing for the future...

    AllOfMyWat replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

  23. A Nurse's Sacrifice

    AllOfMyWat replied to Ashley Hay, BSN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not normally my cup of tea, but a very good post.

  24. Husband became a RN

    AllOfMyWat replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    She agreed to it. Just because she regrets it doesn't negate the agreement. Male nurses are likely to get a better job out of school. Life isn't fair. She needs to decide what actions will make her...

  25. Husband became a RN

    AllOfMyWat replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    I support our family now as my husband builds his (medical) business. Just remember: You're on the same team. Working in corrections, verifying the death of some stinking, ancient prisoner, isn't my...
