   Do the BSN now - when you marry and have kids it will be hard to go back. Goodluck!!!

2. How do you find the mid-line of caring?

   Crystal J posted a topic in PICU

   I shadowed a nurse this week at a hospital. I was really impressed with the nurses I spoke with because they knew so much and they were very friendly to me. I was fasinated by all the machines and tubes. I love working with kids or babies so I rea...

3. Overweight Nurse

   Crystal J replied to iliket3's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks Iliket3! Sad that a mom with two kids would feel necessary to hurt peoples feelings. I hope when she is a nurse, I am not her patient! I am a student, and I assure you I will respect the nurses and LISTEN to them - not insult them. I want...

5. Overweight Nurse

   Crystal J replied to iliket3's topic in General Nursing

   TGibson I don't doubt your knowledge of nutrition - you have proven that you know what is good to eat and what is not. But to come on the board and call fellow nurses selfish and basically lazy for not trying to have a better life? Rude! I do ag...

   Crystal J replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

   Crystal J replied to iliket3's topic in General Nursing

   Ok I gotta tell this story - break up the tension a bit! I was in high school, and I had the biggest crush on this guy. I was in a size 16 at the time - he paid me no attention and told my friend "no way". A couple of years later I see him at a part...

   Crystal J replied to iliket3's topic in General Nursing

   I read the post too, I do agree it is good to set a good example for the patients - but patients are normally going to have to go through some experience before they realize they really need to exercise and work on their health more - I don't think s...

9. How do I shadow?

   Crystal J replied to KHarper's topic in Career Support

   I called the HR department of a local hospital and asked if they would let me, they said that was fine, I just wasn't allowed to "help" - just watch. I am just waiting on a date!!! Thanks! Crystal J.

    Crystal J replied to amyrae76's topic in Career Support

    Very well said Mr D! I can relate on the funeral thing too, I work for a company so large, the customers have no idea I am the one keying in the money into their accounts. All they care about is the money is there. I want to do something to where ...
