7. Do You Tell EVERYONE You Are a Nurse?

   jax2130 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

   MLOS, the sad matter of truth is, i'm a POOR, BROKE nurse! yes, that's the truth....ugh. but i didn't go into nursing for the income. i went in it because i have a true compassion for human lives. that's all the compensation i need (other than a bas...

   welcome to the real world. it's hard. it's cruel. it's cut-throat. and some people, unfortunately, will step on so many toes to climb the ladder of success that they lose sight of what they're trying to obtain. i agree when people on here say don't ...

   jax2130 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    jax2130 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing

13. I am freaking out!

    jax2130 replied to cmarsh333's topic in NCLEX

    yes, i agree. it is one of the worst feelings in the world, and at the time, i'm sure it IS the worst feeling in the world. i went straight for my RN and bypassed the LPN. i also had only 75 questions, and i frantically started cursing (in my head) a...

14. Asperger's Syndrome

    jax2130 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    i know that it is a very mild form of autism classified under the autistic spectrum disorders. those who are diagnosed with this d/o differ from those diagnosed w/ autism in the fact that there was not a speech/language delay as there, more often tha...
