3. Nurses with depression

   NHLPN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I know there have been other threads about nurses with depression/mental illness, but I have not seen one that has addressed this. Have any other nurses here gone out on disability due to their depression? If so, does this affect your license? Doe...

   NHLPN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

   Had a lap choly 2/9/06. Took 2 1/2 weeks off from work. It was mostly the belly button pain/bruising that bothered me. As far as certain foods triggering any untoward effects, it is still new to me. I ate mostly low-fat food the first month. The...

9. your first massage...what was it like?

   NHLPN replied to Nemhain's topic in Entrepreneurs

   I can't imagine life without massages! I love to go. I find myself almost falling asleep on the table, especially after a long day of work. I pay $55/hr - which to me is very reasonable for relaxation! I love to just close my eyes. Listen to the ...

    Watch for ads in the Union Leader. A lot of Nursing Homes offer LNA courses and then employment with them afterwards. Hope that helps!

14. transgender nurse (transvestite)

    NHLPN replied to nursecathy's topic in Safety

    Just my thoughts: would a female not be accepted in to the nursing program because she may have excessive facial hair, or a male not accepted because he looked too feminine?? As long as this person is competent, there should be no issue. I would ra...
