1. Do you experience jealousy from friends/family members?

   Dottie78 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

   It's a shame that there are those "friends" and family out there who are jealous of other's accomplishments. They should be proud and supportive, because nursing is hard (but rewarding) work. I'm not in nursing school yet, but I do commend anyone who...

2. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

   Dottie78 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't see anything wrong with more people out there wanting to become nurses. I actually think it's great that more people want to get into the profession, but I do see your point about the ones who only get into it for the money. IMHO, I don't thi...

   I thought once you got the series (3 injections) you don't need any more after that. I could be wrong, but that's how I understood it.

5. Where Do Nursing Students Work?

   Dottie78 replied to Dottie78's topic in General Students

   These are all great replies! Thanks everyone for your suggestions. A unit clerk position would be my first choice once it's set in stone, and I've also thought about waitressing at Chili's or someplace similar, if you say they are flexible with thei...

6. Where Do Nursing Students Work?

   Dottie78 posted a topic in General Students

   Hi, I need some advice. After the long wait, it finally looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I may be able to go to nursing school in a few months (hopefully in the fall)! I've spent the last 11 years working in an office durin...

7. He doesn't realize my dreams

   Dottie78 replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, I'm sorry to hear that your boyfriend doesn't really support you or take this seriously. But at the same time, I'm glad you realize you need to get away from him, and that you are not going to let him (or anyone) get in the way of your dreams....

8. senior staff bullying?--in tears

   Dottie78 replied to crazyaaa's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry to hear you're being treated this way. It's never an enjoyable experience, I know exactly how you feel. Have you ever spoken to Jenny one-on-one and told her how you feel? Maybe you need to call a meeting with her so you can let her know jus...

9. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

   Dottie78 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry...I realized that I got carried away with talking about my son and have gotten off the subject "Nursing Ghost Stories". Unfortunately I'm not a nurse yet, but hopefully I will have some interesting stories to post once I become one!

10. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Dottie78 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Babs, I know you're not trying to frighten me, but I can't help but be worried, because ever since my son was about 14 months, he's been seeing things...in almost every place we've lived! (I actually have more stories, but will save for another time....

11. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Dottie78 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    My son was always sensitive when it came to strange stuff. When we used to live in our mobile home several years ago, my husband and I always heard a T.V. or music on (it was some kind of noise) whenever the heater/air conditioner was running, but w...

    Dottie78 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I really love these stories! Please keep em' coming! I've always been interested in the paranormal, and many of these are quite fascinating and some are touching. I have a story that comes from my mother. She was an LVN who worked at a hospital down...

    Dottie78 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm going to start by posting it in the general nursing forum. I'm pre-nursing, just finished up my pre-reqs for the R.N. program, but I'm currently waiting for my husband to graduate (next month) and find a ...

15. Just Because You're a Nurse

    Dottie78 replied to Jaybird310's topic in General Nursing

    Do some of you pre-nursing students get this? Even when you're not a nurse yet, some people still expect you to know things that you haven't even learned about? I'm not in nursing school yet, and one time when my mother-in-law was in the hospital, ...
