   Lumbar Fusion - need some support

   vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Disabilities

   Hi, all. It is with great sadness that I find myself posting this to the forum. For the past two years I've struggled with an L5-S1 disc herniation. It has never been debilitating, however, it has kept me from doing things that I used to enjoy doin...

   Anyone want to critique my resume?

   vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Job Hunt

   This is just a rough draft. I whipped this up in a couple of hours. I've obviously blocked out any information pertaining to my name and location. Some of the formatting might look weird but that's because of how it's rendered when I copy/paste. The ...

   Moving to a new state, new hospital, and (hopefully) new floor. Need resume advice.

   vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hey, guys. So I've been searching the forums for some resume advice and the majority of it is geared toward new grads. I think that's great; I was in the same boat once and I think new grads need the most guidance. However, now that I've worked for t...

   Many Thanks!

   vlmusicalsound replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in Orthopaedic

   Glad to hear you had a good experience! Just out of curiosity...how are you recovering? I have a herniated L5-S1 and have been considering surgery. You've hit the year mark and do you feel like it improved your health? Does your back still hurt? Any ...

   L5-S1 Disc Herniation

   vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Disabilities

   Yeah...a healthy 23 year-old with a herniated disc. Just my luck, right? Any other nurses here with this issue? Any tips to make the pain more tolerable and less intrusive? What about therapy and procedures that have helped? Steroid injections, epidu...

   I've been a nurse for six months. Here's what I've learned so far.

   vlmusicalsound replied to vlmusicalsound's topic in New Nurse

   Debbie Downer much? Why would anyone go into nursing in the first place if they weren't at least 90% sure that it's what they wanted to do? It's not a job that one simply crosses their fingers about and hope for the best. I don't think anyone who sig...

   I've been a nurse for six months. Here's what I've learned so far.

   vlmusicalsound posted a topic in New Nurse

   I've been an RN for about half a year now. Not long by any means but still a good amount of time to allow me to sit down and reflect upon the path that I've chosen. These are mainly personal musings and surely not everyone will agree. 1.) Night shift...

    FNP in the ED?

    vlmusicalsound posted a topic in NP

    Hey, everyone. So, I feel like I've asked this question before but can't seem to recall completely. I'm currently doing my BSN preceptorship in the ED (graduation is 23 days away!) and I love it. I want to work in the ED for a few years, and I then p...

    Piercings?

    vlmusicalsound replied to vlmusicalsound's topic in Men

    Extreme? It's not extreme at all. You can't stick a finger through my ear or anything like that. This isn't me but this is roughly the size of them: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2141/2314973987_2fd5e6141f.jpg?v=0 Of course they look a bit smaller o...

    Piercings?

    vlmusicalsound replied to vlmusicalsound's topic in Men

    I have 14 gauge plugs right now that I've been *considering* stretching to a 12 then maybe a 10. Do you think this is appropriate?
