  1. Is this discrimination?

    Aunt Slappy replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Recently I told my son he should apply at the Sally Beauty Supply near our house when they had a hiring sign out, because as a straight white male it's the only place he could qualify as the diversity...

  2. So TIRED OF IT

    Aunt Slappy replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Narrowminded and ageist much? I was licensed as a nurse at age 40. Do you think 40 is some age where you become decrepit and incapable of change or of learning new things? You might want to...

  3. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Aunt Slappy replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    And if you're indulging in adult beverages while you eat your hot food, it's even better and more judgement-clouding about the consequences you're going to face the next day or two. I've found that...

  4. How did you get out of bedside nursing?

    Aunt Slappy replied to abnormal_saline's topic in General Nursing

    I worked about 1.5 years in inpatient hospice and LTC, then moved into a M-F public health clinic job. Days only, holidays and weekends off. I just left that job to start an occupational health job...

  5. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    Aunt Slappy replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Exactly which "basic nursing skills" did they say you were deficient

  6. I can't do it all (mom rant)

    Aunt Slappy replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I think one of the main lessons in this thread is be damn careful whom you marry. Because not only would my husband not get away with totally abdicating his responsibilities as a father, he...

  7. Is this discrimination?

    Aunt Slappy replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Do you even understand the legislative process? Trump cannot unilaterally "delete" anything out of a law validly passed by Congress and signed by any President. Amendment would have to take place...

  8. So TIRED OF IT

    Aunt Slappy replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Sure do, however the nurses I worked with then often had Sandals resorts and Coach purse websites open on their workstations. Answering lights should certainly come before

  9. I'm lost. I want to quit nursing.

    Aunt Slappy replied to Amdecl6's topic in General Nursing

    I've been working in nursing long enough to know that they do think that way and I can't expect them to change because I happen to be a colleague (which I would try not to reveal anyway). I know my...

  10. I can't do it all (mom rant)

    Aunt Slappy replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing your post proves is a string of crappy men in your family and social group. Your father is straight up guilty of neglect that could equate to abuse. Let's not turn this into male...

  11. Breaking a 2 year contract

    Aunt Slappy replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Is your moving the only feasible way to address those concerns? Many times people think it is, when there are other reasonable options. If it truly is, though, perhaps talk to HR and lay it out for...

  12. Breaking a 2 year contract

    Aunt Slappy replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    What's the reason you need to

  13. I'm lost. I want to quit nursing.

    Aunt Slappy replied to Amdecl6's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty certain that Ackeem wasn't personally attacking

  14. So TIRED OF IT

    Aunt Slappy replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Having been raised by one, I can assure you that people with BPD do not suffer from their condition. Any and every negative consequence of their behavior is enjoyable to them, because it's further...

  15. Teen Pregnancy

    Aunt Slappy replied to Arenee26's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can't come up with 2 barriers to behavior change when you're discussing teenagers?! I guess being in the middle of raising several makes this seem more obvious to me but..... What do you think...

  16. I can't do it all (mom rant)

    Aunt Slappy replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe homework and school aren't the real issue. Maybe your kid needs parents less worried about money and more available to parent him. Perhaps he needs to be listened to about how much and why he...

  17. I can't do it all (mom rant)

    Aunt Slappy replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Is your husband similarly ill-equipped to help with homework, or does he just refuse to? Your kid has more than one parent, you guys should be sharing these burdens. Also, what does your husband do...

  18. Privacy curtains are covered in MRSA

    Aunt Slappy replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Not

  19. Pay cuts

    Aunt Slappy replied to KSjo88's topic in General Nursing

    As the wife of a hard working man with a MBA, I get tired of seeing crap like this. Yes, healthcare admin is too heavy but I think it's easy for you to hate on people like my husband because you...

  20. Very concerned

    Aunt Slappy replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in General Nursing

    That might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard

  21. How do you work your three days/nights ?

    Aunt Slappy replied to Hershell's topic in General Nursing

    I hated three in a row. By the third night I was a cranky ***** with a bad attitude and no one needs that. I was on a "resource team" which was full time but used to fill staffing holes and I was...

  22. So TIRED OF IT

    Aunt Slappy replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Are you serious with this? You must be in management/administration, because in your system, the patient is never wrong and nothing they do is ever their fault. Your "approach" is a recipe for...

  23. I'm lost. I want to quit nursing.

    Aunt Slappy replied to Amdecl6's topic in General Nursing

    I mean........WHAT? Pliers? Were these people unaware that actual pill-crushing devices exist? That just really jumped out at

  24. I'm lost. I want to quit nursing.

    Aunt Slappy replied to Amdecl6's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered hospice? Public health? Occupational health? Private duty? There are tons of ways to be a nurse. I too am 43 and have been a nurse 2 1/2 years. I just started job #4 this...

  25. What kind of nurse are you?

    Aunt Slappy replied to Atelophobia's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked inpatient hospice, long term care, a public health clinic, and now just started an occupational health job. There was a lot I loved about hospice and if I stay in nursing long term that's...
