1. Hiring Managers can you explain this to me...

   chapstickaddict replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

   This happened to my boyfriend at a non-nursing job. They interviewed, got copies of a license, made an appointment to do tax forms...then "oh well now we have to wait for the regional people(or whatever) to approve an open position!" I think it happe...

2. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

   chapstickaddict replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Relations

   I thought the poster in that exact situation was an LPN? Forgive me if I'm wrong and misread. Personally, I think it would have been less mean-spirited if the situation had been explained to the woman, like someone mentioned earlier. I don't know wh...

3. Mom Seeking Details of Schedule @ Samuel Merritt ABSN - Oakland -

   chapstickaddict replied to brendalwelch's topic in California

   That is just uncalled for.

4. Okay, This Semester WILL be Better, Letter of Weakness or No!

   chapstickaddict posted a topic in General Students

   Okay. I don't post here often, but I lurk a lot. My past semester was really hellish; I had some serious personal issues, my room mate/bf had to have surgery, couldn't work, got screwed when it came to workers comp. I have had to support me and him b...

5. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

   chapstickaddict replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   Okay, I'm still a student. But I do work in assisted living. Strange, though, because we have at least 2 residents who are wheelchair bound and need help with ALL of their cares. ALL OF THEM. Anywho: 1. To the resident who is all there who pooped ...

6. Coworker issues - so disheartening

   chapstickaddict replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly, this just sounds like a "can't please 'em" situation. She's upset about something, and it's not your job to figure it out and kiss up to her to fix it. It sounds like you've gone out of your way to be extra nice to her, without any sort of ...

7. NS Wish List

   chapstickaddict replied to Kyla.ann's topic in General Students

   Good shoes with good arch support, a stethoscope (mine is a cheapo one but it's been fine for first semester), more than one set of scrubs, some kind of smartphone for nursing apps, good deodorant (My clinic site is always a billion degrees and I've ...

8. To the nurses on the floor at my clinical site

   chapstickaddict replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

   I guess I was lucky to have both good and bad nurses at my clinical site this semester. There were some that were willing to put residents through excruciating pain because they would rather use an EZ-stand instead of assisting in transfers. Or they'...

9. Depression and Nursing School

   chapstickaddict posted a topic in General Students

   Hi there, this is my first post...I've been lurking around for a while, but I finally got the courage to post. Here's my question/dilemma...I have recently been diagnosed with depression on top of my ADHD...and it's been a really hard 6 months or so...
