    Every Nurse Should Know Martial Arts

    Queen Tiye replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t like the defensive component of CPI — the component we use when we are actively being attacked. We basically only get to put our hands out and get the hell kicked out of us as we back...

    Are there any nurses that actually LIKE nursing?

    Queen Tiye replied to CShel's topic in General Students

    Meeeee. I love my job and look forward to going everyday — except day three because I’m tired by then. Some days are more challenging then others, and it is definitely not easy. However, if you...

    Your Help Needed: Give A Tip To A New Grad Nurse

    Queen Tiye replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is the perfect example as to why a new nurse should be quiet and observant about who to confide in and who to be wary of. What you expressed is also the reason it is commonly advised to...

    How to Avoid Pre-Req Burnout

    Queen Tiye replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Prereq blues is a real thing and can be depressing. In some ways, studying for the science prereqs were harder and more tedious. Pace yourself, stay connected to peers and professors. If possible,...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    Queen Tiye replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I avoid calling in unless it’s an absolute emergency because I hate to leave my team short. It sucks when there isn’t enough staff then literally everyone has a bad

    Thank you for sharing this article, it’s very insightful. I’ll be giving addiction nursing more

    Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    Queen Tiye replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, hit a nerve did I. That's where the smegma accumulates if the bits go

    Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    Queen Tiye replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Smegma isn't usually a problem for people who bath daily, and it isn't a very good reason to remove the penile foreskin. Women produce smegma as well, should we remove our privy partses and inner...

    How can I be a better nursing professor?

    Queen Tiye replied to GS ED RN's topic in General Students

    The best lecturers were those who wove real-life clinical scenarios into the lessons, were able to cover all of the scheduled material, and gave empowering responses to students' answers and...

    3rd semester and I still feel useless!

    Queen Tiye replied to peach2218's topic in General Students

    Why are you doing so little in clinicals? It's important to do as much as possible. I wouldn't say it's typical to have "no" idea what you're doing by third semester. However, I do understand this...

    Was this a wrong approach?

    Queen Tiye replied to Bubblesx530's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It sounds like you successfully validated and redirected your Pt. When validating a Pt's feelings/ concerns during confusion, take into consideration their memory. If they will forget what I told...

    Nurses are Pushed to the Brink

    Queen Tiye replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is great, but in my observation most new grads/ nursing students aren’t nearly as “strong” as experienced CNAs. Entry level CNAs need more pay. As it is, they make the same or...

    Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?

    Queen Tiye replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in General Students

    I really support this approach — assertive communication. There will also be bullies on the floor when you are working as a nurse. We are required to communicate assertively whether we are shy or...

    Let go after orientation and feeling lost now. Need advice

    Queen Tiye replied to sunflower101's topic in General Nursing

    This is very thoughtful advice and has worked for many a nurse. You will get hired and it does pay new RNs well — if you ask for it. However, my experience in LTC was exponentially more stressful...

    RN in Inpatient Rehab Unit, but want to get out

    Queen Tiye replied to nurseindistress's topic in General Nursing

    Rehab nursing is very dynamic. With some ingenuity, you can spin your rehab experience into a well designed resume to show you are more than qualified to be a tele nurse. By the way, I’ve...

    New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    Queen Tiye replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hoosier_RN, you mentioned the rigorous clinical preparation that nurses received in school. I didn’t know that. That sounds as rigorous as residency. A nurse would be able to hit the ground...

    I'm a NURSE!

    Queen Tiye replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I cried and cried and cried the entire pinning ceremony, and I could not stop — literally. Even when I thought I was done. I just sat there smiling and cheering for each of my nursing sisters and...

    New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    Queen Tiye replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt that any new nurse comes out of school ready to hit the ground running — now, or in times of yore. Nursing is learned through experience and

    Rubbed Raw Nurse Resident

    Queen Tiye posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I had a rough day as a Nurse Resident and I want to talk about it. My eyes are full of tears because I feel frustrated, tired, and pushed to my intellectual, critical thinking limits. I’m...

    Single mom and nurse?

    Queen Tiye replied to blueskies1990's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, there. I do it. I also budget, and plan ahead for the future, I.e.: graduate degree for a higher salary, a few extra hours a week doing PDN to up my salary when I want. Most importantly, I...

    Is asking to switch my preceptor in this scenario rude/wrong?

    Queen Tiye replied to brandnewicu's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, congratulations on winning a residency spot. As for your dilemma, I am experiencing something similar. With my first preceptor, half of the focus was on trying not to offend her and masking...

    How long is a typical LTC orientation?

    Queen Tiye replied to RNMTRC's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My LTC training was three days of learning how to chart, passing meds, and doing treatments. LTC can be very rewarding because of the patients. Smart, kind coworkers are always a plus. I had to...

    Do you think it is a mistake going into nursing for me?

    Queen Tiye replied to nursetobeat33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Caring for patients is the most rewarding work I’ve done. It doesn’t even feel like work because I love it. It can be hard and challenging, but so far the benefit of being happy and good at what...

    Studying for NCLEX: Balancing it all

    Oh, gosh! I took your post out of context. I agree, you don’t have to spend all day studying for
