1. Nurses leaving in droves...

   LilyVictor replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

   I left nursing in 1998 and went to work for an airline as a reservation agent. I had worked for 26 years in hospitals (18 of those years in ICU's). I had begun to "miss" nursing, and was considering a prn job in a step-down unit. Oh, My God.....bak...

2. the term "animal nurse"

   LilyVictor replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing

   I, too, was an ADN graduate, then got my BSN. Frankly, I had more informative classes and nursing practice in my ADN school! When anybody asks my opinion in my hometown about which nursing school to go to, I always recommend the Diploma school, becau...

4. the term "animal nurse"

   LilyVictor replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing

   I never say I'm a nurse, after I saw one of the ladies at my church (who was very sweet, but was a nurse's aide), dispensing nursing and health advice with abandon. "Yes, I'm a nurse, and you should....." I certainly hope when I take my precious do...

8. GETTING WRITTEN UP: What is the most ridiculous thing you have been written up for?

   LilyVictor replied to greeneggsnham's topic in General Nursing

   You're not going to believe this one! When I was freshly out of nursing school, I was pulled to another unit where I knew absolutely nothing about the specialty. I was scared to death I would make a mistake. I must have looked serious or something. T...

9. How 'bout breast reduction

   LilyVictor replied to Jrnalist2RNinOR's topic in General Nursing

   I wish I had had a breast reduction in my 20's as advised. I, too, thought I would want to breastfeed babies...ended up having no babies. And at 52, I have been told that I have "significant deterioration of cervical vertebrae". My doctor says tha...
