2. Child Protective Services--Reporting?

   Nicky032605 replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

   I have had a few bad experiences with CPS myself. When I was about 7, my siblings and I were taken away from my mom for a week or so because someone called the police and my mom wasn't home (we were with a family friend). We spent the first night at ...

   Nicky032605 replied to warhawk's topic in California

   Not sure where you live, but last year here in Palm Desert the heat got up to 122 - 124 degrees. Maybe you were out of town? Not something you forget, lol. And yes, a pool is a MUST. Although in the middle of summer, it tends to feel more like a war...

   Nicky032605 replied to warhawk's topic in California

   wow! Has anyone considered Coachella Valley. I consider it the perfect place to be located. Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, and Palm Desert are all somewhat expensive, but Thousand Palms is fairly inexpensive. There is not a lot of crime and the Valley ...

5. Books for CRNA School?

   Nicky032605 replied to kukukajoo's topic in SRNA

   I notice that posters tend to shy away from giving information about CRNA school to OP's who have yet to finish Nursing School. You can try searching this bulletin board using key words, or try going to Amazon.com and search through their popular bo...

   Nicky032605 replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing

   For those wondering if Izzy is coming back, I would say no. I saw a preview for an upcoming show (can't remember which), and she is one of the main characters. I was surprised, and wondered how she was going to be able to do both shows. I guess I hav...

   I think you are all correct when you say that the nursing shortage is manufactured and the reasons for it. This thread has been very educational. A real eye opener on so many levels. Thank you!!!!!!!!

   Nicky032605 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

   I know this post is some months old, but I just wanted to put in my two cents. Being someone who has had many Many MANY needle sticks to last two lifetimes, I think I know where you might be coming from on this. Every blue moon when getting my blo...

    Nicky032605 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I can see what Jericho was trying to say, and I tend to agree. I myself had cancer a few years back in my late teens/early twenties. I went into remission fairly quickly. I have struggled with depression, social anxiety, memory loss, etc., so i su...

15. taking students, precepting

    Nicky032605 replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    I am a pre-nursing student, and am wondering how anyone with that attitude would even be able to GET INTO Nursing School!!! You would think during the interview process they would screen people a little better.
