   whatdayisit11to7Nrse posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi everyone. I have been noticing symptoms of a certain contagious (not dangerous) skin condition at my job. I've documented everything I saw and passed it along in report, emailed my DON, and was either ignored or told I'm crazy. But now I have the ...

   whatdayisit11to7Nrse replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

   I'm really glad that you have good coworkers and a good career and that you can still see the positive things in your life, because that's a very hard thing to do! I still have moments where I pick up the phone to call my brother because something fu...

   whatdayisit11to7Nrse replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

   First I am so sorry for your loss! I empathize. Less than a year ago my brother who I'm very close to took his own life. I was way to hard on myself and filled with guilt as well over just about everything! This is not uncommon or abnormal for you to...

   I am just sharing my experience and hoping I get through this. I had been suffering for a while with all these strange symptoms that were all over the place. I had been misdiagnosed over and over, now I finally know what's going on but I'm so sick an...

8. "just" a school nurse rant

   whatdayisit11to7Nrse replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

   I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I feel the same way at times because I am an LPN. But, you are so much more than "just" anything. When someone thinks or says something belittling to me/about me, I have to remind myself, they just don't ...

    I'm not one to jump into confrontation here but seriously?! He could have been making jokes about "getting high" on his PERSONAL phone with HIS FRIENDS, which is HIS BUSINESS and not yours. My friends and I make jokes to one another all the time abo...
