   Thanks to everyone that replied. Thank you for the warnings and the knowledge that you have shared. I will do my best to find a job here, in my home town, that will give me as much experience as possible before I begin my traveling. What area (ER,...

2. Traveling Companies that hire new grads?

   BROOK9960 replied to BROOK9960's topic in Travel

   I was not stating that Selke was pessimistic about the fact that traveling nurses need experience......I truly appreciate that person's honesty in that matter..........I just thought it was sort of pessimistic to assume that because someone wants to ...

3. Traveling Companies that hire new grads?

   BROOK9960 replied to BROOK9960's topic in Travel

   SELKE, I appreciate your reply and all of the other replies. NO, I am not trying to "get out of dodge", traveling has always been something I have desired to do and with a perk----a job I have wanted to do since I was about 5 years old. It is unfortu...

4. Traveling Companies that hire new grads?

   BROOK9960 posted a topic in Travel

   I have read several items on here and on the net that there are no traveling companies that hire new grads, but me being a person hard to convince, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has ever heard of a company that will hire a new grad...

5. Thin skinned ADN students or is instructor crossing then line?

   BROOK9960 replied to SN bbgrl's topic in General Students

   Well, it does not sound to me like you or anyone else is thin-skinned. First of all, an instructor does not have the right to put his/her hands on anyone, second of all, constructive criticism does not include degrading students in front of peers, c...

6. Postpartum and Neonate process papers...does anyone have a sample?

   BROOK9960 posted a topic in Student Assist

   This coming semester in introduction to maternity and pediatrics, we are required to write process papers on postpartum care of the mother and neonate assessment. I was wondering if anyone out there has a sample of this or knows where to get a sampl...

   Maybe the DON is in on it too?

8. I failed :(

   BROOK9960 replied to Deliasgone's topic in General Students

   Just remember........your future patients will thank you sooooo much that you did not give up and tried, tried again. I have watched so many of my closest friends (and even my sister) not pass pharmacology this past semester, and it is heart-breakin...

9. Questions for Nursing Students

   BROOK9960 replied to scribblerpnp's topic in General Students

   i am currently a student nurse. i adore both of my instructors, although i have one instructor who is very young. she has a tendency to be very unapproachable, and i believe this is due to the fact that she feels intimidated by us non-traditional s...

10. Nurses Helping Nurses Quit Smoking

    BROOK9960 replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Safety

    i quit smoking for 4 months at one time. I became extremely hateful and just down-right mean. I decided it was best for me to die from smoking, then to make my children's childhoods miserable. I want to quit really, really bad, but to be honest, I...

11. Useful sites for pre-nursing AND nursing students

    BROOK9960 replied to prmenrs's topic in Pre-Nursing

    does anyone know where i can go on the net to study for the foundations part of the nln? i have searched and searched and everything costs a fortune--i am broke, so i need something cheap, or even free. i would love to know if there are any practic...

12. Has anyone failed nursing and came back again?

    BROOK9960 replied to 2007rndmkt's topic in Arkansas

    No one give up! I know that is easier said than done, but seriously, if I can do it, anyone on this earth can! And in my mind, anyone who truly has the desire and gift to be a nurse, and pushes forward despite a few draw-backs, are going to be the ...

13. Discrimination...You think??!!?!

    BROOK9960 replied to Jamie Dale's topic in Men

    I have to disagree. I was a female who worked in a male correctional facility and I was told on several occasions, "females need to work the module, the males need to be in the wings with the inmates". Any statement that differentiates a gender, is...

14. I woke up during surgery, Have you?

    BROOK9960 replied to GatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    I remember waking up during my colostomy surgery. Like a lot of others have said, I could not make a sound to let them know I was awake, so I tried to shake my legs..........or maybe I was having a seizure............I am not sure.........I just rem...

15. My husband won't let me do bed baths

    BROOK9960 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    Don't feel bad, my husband is the same way. I just told him he needs to get over it. It is a control thing. Our school did not do the girl to girl or guy to guy thing either, the reason is because you had better get over any shyness now. Just tel...
