   I am so sorry you have to go through this. It is not easy on you and I can assure you it's very uncomfortable for your ex friend. I use to work with a group of women and loved my job until I made a mistake and applied and got the supervisory position...

2. Non-nursing degree for Masters?

   lucylu 777 replied to smilealot's topic in General Nursing

   I hold a masters degree of science with emphases in marine biology (from graduate school in Europe). Had my degree evaluated by ECE and had done nothing at all with my degree. I did not want to teach and it did not matter in my previous job. Long s...

3. I am so happy I can fly!

   Thank you all so much! I will try to get some sleep tonight - it will be hard, as I'm still jumping up from excitement.

4. Are You a Member of the allnurses.com Grammar Police?

   lucylu 777 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Humor

   This is how I feel about spelling and grammar on allnurses: It is not as important - it is secondary. The reason why I say this is: because the site is not designated for writing thesis in "early English literature" and have them evaluated for spelli...

   GRE - PASS!!!!!!! Yes, today I found out that I passed the GRE exam in the low 90-th percentile in all three categories. I am so happy, all day I literally hop scotch all over the house. I was hesitant to share this news here as I don't want to ap...

6. It's all about who you know!

   lucylu 777 replied to lucylu 777's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you so much Fribblet - there is nothing better like a good, healthy laugh at the end of the day, I love your sense of humor. To all that I have offended with my spelling and grammar - I'm sorry. Not to make any excuses but English is my second...

7. It's all about who you know!

   lucylu 777 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I know that "who you know" will get you a job in any industry. Today we welcomed a new grad RN who was working at our hospital as an aide - great!!! The only thing that we did not like about her was that she was a stock up young girl who was telling ...

8. I feel like a jerk!

   lucylu 777 replied to Trubie's topic in General Nursing

   Your family comes first - in this economy this should not surprise anybody, I think honesty with your current employer is your best strategy. Do it in a profesionnal way with a nough notice and you should be fine, you'll never know what the future wi...

9. am I wrong?

   lucylu 777 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

   I think this post is a fake! Ms.RN just made up the story to see the reaction. I mean - REALLY- any body that have worked the bed side even one day would know not to leave a pt. unattended - not a patient who can not do anything for herself or someb...

10. am I wrong?

    lucylu 777 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch! I hope the OP had learned a valuable lesson, she sounds genious clueless. I am not surprised, she is not the only RN who thinks in such way, sad - very sad.

11. Nurses, do you immediately take bath after duty?

    lucylu 777 replied to ms.pebbles's topic in General Nursing

    I always take off my scrubs in the garage and put on my robe because as soon as I walk in my little one runs in for hugs. I usually take a shower shortley after - it wakes me up and helps me stay up for another few hours.

13. Incompetent

    lucylu 777 replied to LouisVRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol! You are not incompetent - you're a parent, and feeling of incompetance is one of the "perks" of parenting. Couple of weeks ago, we rushed with our 3 y/o to peds. office with moskito bites, we did not know they were moskito bites as her arms look...

14. do you care about your patients?

    lucylu 777 replied to Rhee's topic in General Nursing

    nooo, you don't sound uncaring, you sound normal! Patients can be "funny", you can bust your butt all day long for them, take care of every need, answer every call light and at the end one unanswered call light can place all your efforts in the toile...

15. do you care about your patients?

    lucylu 777 replied to Rhee's topic in General Nursing

    Today - 16 patients on the unit, 3 Rn's and 1 aide. The RN's are all registry and not familiar with the patients on the unit and are not notified that they all have to "share" one aide ( as it is very hard to notice).I have just got off a night shift...
