1. Real Life Advice, Please....

   loerith replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

   I would get down on my knees and pray earnestly. If you are not a Christian I would fix that first and foremost, then I would seek that "wisdom from above". People will frequently let you down, misguide, and even betray you. HE never ever will. Love ...

4. Just took NCLEX

   loerith replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

   Do you remember if you got question 75 right or not? If you got it right, the odds that you passed are very, very high. The NCLEX has NOTHING to do with the number you get right or wrong but has everything to do with level of difficulty. In other wor...

   I have 2 badly herniated disks {L4-L5, L5-S1} with a hemangioma and some osteophytes. Quite painful to say the least. I am off work again now and have been for a month. I tried the Pain Management route and the experimental medial nerve block hurt me...

7. I'm so confused.......

   loerith replied to loerith's topic in General Nursing

   Actually I do believe I work at 100% of my potential when on the medicine and perhaps less than that when in pain. I may have my neurologist and internal med doctor examine me while on the meds just to have some documentation as to my mental status w...

13. My externship is not going well

    loerith replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Calling a meeting, talking about her to superiors will only put you in a questionable light. You said she was "well liked" on her unit. As you said "dont play that game." Go with the flow; smile and nod. Then after graduation go work in the largest t...

    loerith replied to NA NA's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely agree that being a nurse is much tuffer than studying to become one. And honestly , at this point in time there are many things I would trade for being a nurse. Love and Peace, loerith
