1. Can Addiction be "Cured"

   shelly304 replied to longhornfan1's topic in General Nursing

   I have been clean and sober since 1989 when I entered treatment at age 24; I was not a nurse at the time. I have no urge, no feeling of wanting to tempt myself in any way. I counsel women who are in early recovery. I also never ask myself the questio...

2. MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

   shelly304 replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

   I worked with a MD in the ER six years ago. He was not on staff. He constantly ordered for Obecalp until most of the nurses refused to work him and admin found out his little game. I think he was a disgrace to the medical profession. Patients deserve...

   shelly304 replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for the clarification. Could staff please change the thread title to read, "Brother of ShowbizRN". Very misleading to those friends with Showbiz and thinking she has passed. I recieved an email earlier today that a longtime member of the A...

6. My Family Tragedy: Passing of Showbizrn's Brother

   shelly304 replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

   I am really confused about this post. At first I thought the OP was speaking of their brother. Then I took it to mean a family member was posting under ShowbizRN account to say "he" died. But when I went ShowbizRN profile to look at past posts made,...

7. Interested in Nursing/Physicians Assistant career and need advice on how to start.

   shelly304 replied to millsnd's topic in General Nursing

   RN and PA are two totally different professions. You wouldn't become a nurse to get experience to become a PA.There are some other forums on the net for PA. Or do a search here for nursing vs PA. There are great threads to view. Good luck!

10. LPN without a GED?

    shelly304 replied to Montiel_735's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot go technical school, community college or through an 11 month LPN program without a GED. You also have to take a nursing entrance exam for any LPN program. A person cannot go into a program of "higher learning" without a GED. Even most fas...

11. Why can't my wife find a job?

    shelly304 replied to EE112358's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure what the problem would be and I do not know anything about the nursing situation in Indiana. Maybe go on the regional forum and post this. Also, is your wife a member here at allnurses? She would benefit greatly to post for herself and ...

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

    shelly304 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is my second career. I made far more in my first career. But I had always had in the back of my mind that someday I would go back to school (again!)to become a nurse and I did. The pay is not equal to the amount of responsibilty in my opinion...

    shelly304 replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm blown away by this post. If I screwed up this bad I deserve to have it bought to my attention. Some complaints patients or family members submit have no merit. This kind of complaint holds great merit. My bil is a pharmacist. I sent him a co...

14. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    shelly304 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I switched MDs 2 years ago because I could not understand him. It was not even a matter of like or dislike-I never even got to this point because I could not understand a dang thing he was saying to me. Asking him to write things down...forget about ...
