   Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you very much. I do think I need to get my eyes checked. I find myself squinting when reading the computer at work (there's so much on one page and the print is rather small) and also when starting an IV. I get up at 4am every morning to be ...

4. Could I be stressed and not know it?

   Mrs. SnowStormRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have had a few changes lately in my life. Going back to nursing after 2 years at home, and doing a completely different type of nursing at that. Everyday I come home from work I have a headache. It's strange. Of course some days are better than...

   I have had many moments like this, where patients have hugged me, thanked me, left me treats (they have sent fruit baskets, cakes, candies, etc..), and thank you notes. It is definitely the biggest reward this job can offer IMO. BUT I would like to m...

11. Tips for first clinical?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to betsyMT2003's topic in General Students

    I was one of those students whose first clinical experience was in a nursing home, AND my patient was due for her catheter change. LOL! First day in clinicals and I already had a skill signed off. Nursing home clinicals should be first, I agree. E...

14. Knocked off my feet

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to redface's topic in General Nursing

    Could you explain what you mean by a political/personality situation? If you feel you were dismissed because a teacher didn't like you, why aren't you challenging this? Whatever it is you are not telling us must play a role in your decision. I gue...
