  1. Hi, well, I've spilled my life out on the forums. I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I need to know if this will stop me from getting my goal accomplished as a nurse practitioner? Do I have to disclose this to potential employers (when/if I ...

    mother dies after refusing blood transfusion

    I am NOT Jehovoas Witness or anything, but i know what it's like. I nearly coded with a a 3.4 count. I was delirious and refusing blood because of the chance of AIDS at the time (1989) Only way I survived was my mom, a nurse, came back to the hospita...

    Having to take time off

    Well, after my much read story about my personal life. I recently had a turn of events. I'm now applying for temporary disability d/t inability to focus on what I"m doing at work. Sucks, but I don't have a choice. Doctor said 'you're in no condition ...

    Hit all time low

    Well, I guess I'll see when I get there. Feel fairly normal today. Only problem I have is I didn't sleep last night, much anyway. But - on another note, it could be because of other things that kept me up past 2 and just got a second wind. Who knows....

    Sweetie, I have done a TON of research, Julie Fast's program was one of the first things I came across, but if I hadn't I would've kissed your feet for that information. Thanks again Zoe, your a lifesaver. In more ways than one!

    That's why I'm going to stay on the new antidepressant and see how the combo goes, plus add on a little omega 3 and I'm ....well, I'm gonna do my best.

    Hit all time low

    Just a note to say another thank you. My doctor called and we talked for quite a while. He agrees and I have a diagnosis. I am bipolar. However, I plan on seeking therapy with a real psychiatrist if I can this week, just to make sure. However, I'm fa...

    Hit all time low

    Thank you - in this post, you hit it on the head. My point number 3 of my original post ( lucky I didn't end up on the streets) was because of the times I was 'supposed' to be taking care of the budget, and then spent enormous amounts of money on stu...

    Hit all time low

    Just to let you know - alcohol was a problem many many years ago (as was drugs) I've spilled my guts already, what difference does it make if I drank alot 20+ years ago or did drugs. Again, I think this was during a 'manic' phase. MUST MAKE SURE I CL...

    Just wanted to let you know, I am STILL waiting. I called 3 times today. He's supposed to be in the office tomorrow. I want to thank each and every one of you. It really does mean alot. I appreciate all your words, guidance, suggestions, websites......

    I've been on Allnurses for ...well I don't remember how long. I'm sure it says somewhere but I don't have the urge to look for it. I've come to this board time and time again for advice. Everyone has always been supportive and kind. I have been thro...

    LPN's just glorified nurse aids in LTC? Huh?

    That sickens me to think people think that way. If it weren't for LPNs our nursing homes wouldn't have the necessary help to function. Some of the best nurses I've met have been LPNs (and I never knew they were an LPN) and some of the worst nurses (...
  13. Okay - I have hated every job I have had since nursing school. Various reasons, all having to do with my own personal issues. So I realize I have a problem. Well anyway - now I'm at a LTC on my second week (actually day 5 of working there) on a 3-11 ...

    Thinking of LTC

    One thing I did was make a list of all the questions I needed answered before I accepted a job in LTC/NH. Here's the list: Pay? Pay during orientation (is it the same as normal pay?) How long is orientation (mine said 10 days - which is NO way long ...

    Uniforms and your appearance

    Well - I'm speaking for myself here, (please don't flame me). I don't wear tacky high cut or low cut tops (not intentionally, some times when I have things tailored, then they end up a little big). I have big breasts, no if ands or buts about it. So ...
