3. Others like my notes

   Lecia replied to iliket3's topic in General Students

   I'm sure it's very frustrating for you and if you find out who passed out your hard work without your permission I'd call them on it. However, I wouldn't dwell on it b/c you're the one getting the true benefit of the information. If someone thinks ...

   Lecia replied to Lecia's topic in Pennsylvania

   Amber, Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah, I've seen the uniform since my sis-in-law went there a few years back... I was hoping they had changed since then!! I'll be living at home since I'm married... I'm an old fart of 26!! Ha, ha. I don't plan...

8. What is your greatest fear?

   Lecia replied to Luv2banurse2004's topic in General Students

   I have a fair amount of fears, but recently the ones that worry me most are: 1. I'm starting a diploma prog next fall and I'm worried that I won't be able to find a job at the type of facility I want because I don't have a ADN. For example, I visiti...

9. Some Feel Good stories

   Lecia replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

   Markus, I don't have a story to share as I'm not even in nursing school quite yet... Fall of 2004. I just wanted to thank you for starting this thread (and thanks to those posting their stories). It's good for future nurses to know what the real wor...

10. A good report on MY hospital stay:)!

    Lecia replied to Brownms46's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure it was hard for you to have to call and say "hey perfect job people, I won't be in b/c I've got some not so good stuff going on, but I promise as soon as I'm better I'll be in." I'm also sure that they thought... "no problem, you're worth th...

11. Not just the trolls....

    Lecia replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree. After being sucked in by a troll once I now try to not post at all unless I'm sure I'll keep my cool and contribute in a constructive way...otherwise I'm just part of the problem, no better than the troll. JMHO

12. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

    Lecia replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure this may change once I start clinicals, but as of now.... I can't do LTC or any geriatric stuff because I have a strange "fear of the elderly." I think it ties in closely to my unresloved issues with my grandmothers untimely death. I reali...

13. "You Made Me Want to be a Nurse."

    Lecia replied to RN-PA's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very fortunate to be 26 and have never been hospitalized for anything, except pneumonia when I was 2 (don't remember that, obviously)... However, one of the reasons I want to be a nurse is so I will be able to make peoples lives better. I only...

14. LTC Burnout????

    Lecia replied to kittykat2's topic in Geriatric

    If it's always this time of year it's possible that it has more to do with the change in the weather.... not as much sunlight.... rather than being in the wrong profession. I have depression and my dh is bi-polar type II and we both get worse this ti...

15. My apoligy ..

    Lecia replied to coffeejavule's topic in General Nursing

    My BIGGEST flaw is that I usually open my mouth before I put my brain in gear. Speaking from your heart combined with being blunt (such as I am) can be a lethal combination, esp. in a forum like this where everything is written and ppl can't see you...
