2. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

   nursejoey05 replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

   Ps...I just got a BIG scare and a good laugh. I got to thinking that this is the first year my dd has gone to this school and I've never checked out her school nurse. So I go to the staff list on the website and it lists her name, nothing else. Then ...

   nursejoey05 replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

   I considered applying for a job as a school nurse, but I felt that it was a huge responsibility and I didn't have enough (any ) experience. Well, guess what--it is a huge responsibility! Duh! There was a child in our school district that had kidney ...

   Thanks Kwality. I know that people continue to think about me and pray for me. But I didn't want to keep posting in case some people were getting tired of me. I did not get that job. I interviewed with the doc and he seemed to love me, but said that ...

   Yoo Hoo...I'm still alive... I just scheduled my 3rd interview for that job. That was after talking to the doctor on the phone and answering several questions. I don't know what more they could possibly ask me! (He said I sounded like "an absolute de...

8. How long did you breastfeed?

   nursejoey05 replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in General Nursing

   3 years in spite of the doctor's nursing repeatedly telling me I was "gross" and the doctor asking me "are you still nursing". Obviously I ignored them because he was also my husband's doctor early on and I needed him for that. I have tons of cancer ...

    Hi everybody. My interview went well today. Even if they don't hire me, the experience is good for me. Sometimes I have to hear me talk about what's good about me in order to remember that I do have a lot to offer. Boards on Tuesday. I say we go on a...
