  1. 2 full-time jobs?

    Aunt Slappy replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    This thread made me think of this comment on another

  2. Gateway Fast Track LPN 2018 applicants

    Aunt Slappy replied to christy1994's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied April 2014 and started in January 2015. I graduated December 2015 and was licensed in January 2016. I just went back through my emails and I got the email you just got about a month before...

  3. Thinking about quitting after first day

    Aunt Slappy replied to SunflowerCat12's topic in General Nursing

    You're going back? On your own head be it. You couldn't pay me enough to consent to be part of that mess. Whatever she tells you, this IS their

  4. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Aunt Slappy replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the break from all the sour-faced saints in

  5. CNA termination

    Aunt Slappy replied to Mcpheeh's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh honey, if you had the audacity to tell me I'm incompetent as a LPN with all of two weeks' CNA experience under your belt, I'd have your ass walked outta the building too. I was a CNA for nearly 5...

  6. LVN school?

    Aunt Slappy replied to vicmar1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you mean prereqs? Because if you've completed all the classes to earn a BSN I can't imagine why this is even a

  7. Research Results are in: To Suction or Not To Suction, End of Life & Hospice Patients

    Aunt Slappy replied to NickICU-RN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Aunt Slappy replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Emergent, you really know how to bring out the SJWs who can't laugh at

    Aunt Slappy replied to SunflowerCat12's topic in General Nursing

    So how did the second day

  11. Harrison closing

    Aunt Slappy replied to dreamer30's topic in General Nursing

    You need to pay a little more attention to the news, because the crackdown on for-profit schools took place during the Obama

  12. LPN's aren't Real Nurses? (Whaa...)

    Aunt Slappy replied to Meow278's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Worked with a couple RNs over the years who had really bad issues with pulling rank and being disrespectful towards LPNs, but they were generally crappy people. I've had members of the general public...

  13. Working as RN for the state vs hospital

    Aunt Slappy replied to NewNurse1997's topic in General Nursing

    6 weeks of vacation even for new

  14. Working as RN for the state vs hospital

    Aunt Slappy replied to NewNurse1997's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I worked for the state was in a State Veterans' Home, so it was LTC. Working for the state as an RN could mean LTC in a vets' home, inpatient psych at the state mental hospital,...

  15. Harrison closing

    Aunt Slappy replied to dreamer30's topic in General Nursing

    Aren't there any community colleges in

  16. MY UNIT IS IN CHAOS

    Aunt Slappy replied to kiowasteph's topic in General Nursing

    So you'll be working under the same leadership that has now lost 5 managers from one unit in a year. What makes you think they'll run another unit

  17. So TIRED OF IT

    Aunt Slappy replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    *shots fired* This should get interesting fast. I have to wonder if the gratitude has to do with you showing up when promised and doing the care they need. Having been on both sides in the hospital,...

  18. MY UNIT IS IN CHAOS

    Aunt Slappy replied to kiowasteph's topic in General Nursing

    Why have you lost 5 managers in a

  19. I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

    Aunt Slappy replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    No, don't say "uncomfortable." That's a wiggle word women use to seem less aggressive so that people won't form negative opinions of them. Tell this guy, and HR, directly with no words minced that he...

  20. Gateway PN 2019

    Aunt Slappy replied to nurse2b_kee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I applied April 2014 and was placed in the Spring 2015 cohort that started that January. I graduated December 2015. Most of my classmates seemed to have the same timeline as me. If you guys applied...

  21. I'm extremely slow at passing medications

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

    Everyone is slow and feels bad about it when they are new. I remember my first couple weeks in LTC. But know what? You really do start learning your residents and their routines and you get faster....

  22. Let Go From Job During Orientation

    Aunt Slappy replied to Coffee&freedom76's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that they referred you to other units in the same place actually speaks very well of you. It means they don't think you're a bad nurse or that you can't learn, you just weren't ready for...

  23. Thinking about quitting after first day

    Aunt Slappy replied to SunflowerCat12's topic in General Nursing

    That many no shows and people who quit without notice in just one day is a huge red flag to me. Your average decent person doesn't just up and quit a job without notice in most cases. Even when they...

  24. I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

    Aunt Slappy replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    And I can't tell if he's a clueless fool trying to flirt, or a predator grooming her to be a victim by testing boundaries and her responses to them being violated. Unfortunately either is

  25. I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

    Aunt Slappy replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    Saying and doing nothing when unwanted contact occurs looks like giving permission. If you have a problem with telling people to get their hands off you, then get whatever therapy is required to turn...
