  1. What keeps you going as a nurse?

    AllOfMyWat replied to NurseEnvision's topic in General Nursing

    1) Best money I can make for only two years of education. 2) Caring for my family. 3) Helping an underserved group of people. 4) I'm great at it and learn

  2. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    AllOfMyWat replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

    Spending my life caring for people sounds awful. I hope to do something useful with my career, like maybe design a mandatory geriatric euthanasia

  3. What size are your Danskos?

    AllOfMyWat replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Size 37. I wear a 7

  4. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

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

    Why on Earth didn't you say, "And I hope you ******* die in a fire. Too bad we don't always get what we

  5. Happy Thanksgiving!

    AllOfMyWat replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Crab legs, shrimp, roasted potato, corn, and lots of champagne. And chocolate cheesecake. Might have pasta

  6. Thankful To Be A Nurse On Thanksgiving

    AllOfMyWat replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nurses Rock

    1) My husband. Truly my better half. We have been through so much, good and bad. He's the only one I could ever want. 2) My son. The miracle, the joy, the whole package that he is. It sounds arrogant...

  7. Off topic: 8 year old found out Santa doesn't exist

    AllOfMyWat replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I'm unsure why people lie to children and think it's "cute." Teaching children irrational nonsense and then being sad when they catch you is just

  8. Do you miss bedside nursing?

    AllOfMyWat replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    I worked bedside 7 years. Hated about 80% of it. I work in correctional health services. I love about 80% of

  9. Rate Your Pain

    AllOfMyWat replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I hemorrhaged at work with an ectopic pregnancy. I was doing a med pass for 30 at a SNF. I had blood on my shoes, but I still was passing pills before I noticed. It was, in retrospect, 8/10 pain. The...

  10. Helping patients kill themselves

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

    It's the individual's choice to live or die. This is a ridiculous and ancient topic. Don't like the future of hospice? There are options. If you don't like abortions, don't get one. If you don't like...

  11. Do most nurses not like writing papers?

    AllOfMyWat replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I love

  12. Work Politics... oh boy...

    AllOfMyWat replied to Leta78's topic in General Nursing

    Keep it no-nonsense and professional. Let her finish her rants. Ask her if she's done. Then repeat what you've asked. If you never react, a month of this will likely break her

  13. If you are an LPN are you married or in a relationship?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Neezy84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think you mean another word other than disregard. Also, I was kidding, kind of. A lot of nursing and activities around it are about emotional masturbation, so I like to laugh at my insensitivity....

  14. If you are an LPN are you married or in a relationship?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Neezy84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have no clue why I docked 26 hours. Too much looking at the schedule has killed my ability to use

  15. If you are an LPN are you married or in a relationship?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Neezy84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Nurses in general? You just snubbed every RN in this thread. Do you mean mandation? 12 hour shifts? I work 50-60 hour weeks, but always have two days off, minimum. I make it work. There are 142 hours...

  16. New mom- night shift vs day shift?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Linda207's topic in General Nursing

    I have an infant and have tried both. Night shift was terrible. I love day

  17. If you are an LPN are you married or in a relationship?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Neezy84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    RNs get to do more assessments and give more drugs and have more opportunity to specialize. It's not like they're treated like queens and never wipe a

  18. I hurt my back at work and I think my employer is going to fire me. Need career advice.

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

    Your employer is not your mother. You were able to work a few days at a normal pace. If I am truly hurt, I want treatment at a hospital right then. I'd call shenanigans,

  19. I hate nursing

    AllOfMyWat replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Stop whining, because I respect you as a

  20. If you are an LPN are you married or in a relationship?

    AllOfMyWat replied to Neezy84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's the same for RNs. For some people working PRN works, for some it's 12 or 8 hour shifts. As a nurse, mother, and wife, I choose to work 12 hour shifts in a

  21. Colleagues who hate patients

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

    Feign compassion? I'd rather have someone give me an ugly, decisive assessment than pretend to be what they're not, or be a sanctimonious jerk. Some patients are great. Some

  22. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    AllOfMyWat replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    2015. I had an older coworker who wore

  23. Have you gained sympathy for Nurse Ratched

    AllOfMyWat replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    In the book, she's a gas-lighting monster who doesn't advocate for her patient. She is an actual abusive nurse, including the oh-so precious lateral violence to a young, pretty coworker. No, I have no...

  24. Can Text Convay Enough

    AllOfMyWat replied to Reigh7's topic in General Nursing

    Oooh. That's another matter. (I don't associate humanity with benevolence, but that is probably why I'm a prison

  25. Can Text Convay Enough

    AllOfMyWat replied to Reigh7's topic in General Nursing

    Humanity isn't always
