Begining RN Education, Nurse.com:"I am interested in becoming a nurse. I would like some feedback on how to go about with my education. What advise would you have to give me to better myself. Is this a good career for me. I am 21 years old and I have a son. Should I start at my age? How long is the schooling? http://www.nurse.com/Nurse/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=109
Respect (or lack thereof) in nursing:"Hi everyone, As mentioned in another post, I am planning on attending nursing school in the fall. I still have some lingering worries about a new career, though I am exited! One think I've always wondered about is whether nurses are generally treated respectfully by doctors/other nurses/staff/patients most of the time. By this I am meaning on average - do you usually feel appreciated/valued for what you do? Or do you more often than not feel disrespected and demoralized in your role?" http://www.nursingdiscussions.com/respect
Retained Objects in the OR:"I am a nursing student, I am doing an assignment on ethical dilemmas. If you were a nurse and you saw that a surgeon did not account for a suture after a patient had an operation, would you report this incident to the supervisor? one suture is still inside the patient, and the surgeon does not want the patient to know about this." http://www.nursingdiscussions.com/retained
Need a solution:"Does anyone have any advice on how I can explain this to new possible employers when they ask why my last job ended and why did I quit after only 9 months. I feel terrible about the situation, and I know 100% it will never happen again. I was a dependable employee; always early, never late, usually worked when called in or stayed over when needed, etc. Input please?" http://www.ultimatenurse.com/forum/f5/need-solution-2947/
Revenge, Name Your Favorite (On Doctors):"let's face it... we've ALL met at least one...you know, that idiot who just graduated from the Demi-God Asscademy of Medicine... the one who looks down his nose at you and thinks you don't know your head from a hole in the ground?!?
What do YOU do (WELL within the scope of your nursing practice) to let him know he needs to show up in the morning on the nursing unit with a box of doughnuts?!?" http://www.nursingdiscussions.com/revenge
Rude Doctors, Nursingdiscussions.com:"Would love to know how some of you handle rude doctors, the ones that think every question is stupid; the ones that use every available opportunity to publicly humiliate. Last week, I had had enough and yelled right back, and the way my co-workers looked at me, I was half expecting to be sacked. It didn't happen, but I wonder if I potentially face valid administrative recrimination for speaking up for myself. Feedback greatly appreciated!" http://www.nursingdiscussions.com/rude
