Thanks! Still trying to find my "stuff"

How do I find my friends? It just lists a number on my profile page, but no friend names.

I think I'm going to like it. Sure did Miss everyone while the site was down!

I can't imagine nursing school w/o pharm! :confused: My LPN program had a full semester of pharm. I'm now in a BSN program & we have 2 semesters of patho/pharm.

You just get used to celebrating when you have time off. My kiddos were always happy to have Christmas if it was on the 22, 23, 24, or 25! It is being with family & friends that is important....not...

Big hugs, LoveJoy! Enjoy your Thanksgiving w/ the family. I'm sorry this happened to you. The DON sounds like a real piece of work. Something else better is just around the corner.

Well said, Leslie!

You may want to say where these companies are located. :confused: Nurses from all over the world read this site. :)

Call me weird, but I like taking care of grumpy old men. I joke w/ them and just don't let their gumpiness get to me. Before you know it, they are smiling and we get along fine. I remember that...

Talk to your super and let them handle the situation. I'm sorry your pt died, but you have a life and we all need days off from time to time. I think many hospice nurses (myself included) feel as...

You can PM me if you'd like. Sharon

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. The family needs to talk to the hospice nurse and ask questions until they understand everything. It sounds like it could just be miscommunication.

Yes, I thought it was a little strange! --

We learned to start IV's in LPN school. Lecture, fake arms, and practice on each other (for those who wanted). A skill I have only used 2 or 3 times. I'm currently in a BSN bridge program and...
