   azmimi replied to asdjkl's topic in Relations

   As I read your post, I was reflecting on my 45 year career, remembering a time I had a 3rd shift job on a unit that had a nurse ringleader that just rode me mercilessly behaving much as you described. After trying hard, I simply went to the nursing ...

   azmimi replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

   Your article is soooooo poignant and true! Perhaps we can all remember when we ourselves as humans are inclined to prejudge another based on how he or she presents physically. Thank you for writing such a sensitive article. I enjoyed reading it.

   azmimi replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   WOW, Isn't it amazing, how life takes us? When I talk to people that will listen, and they feel a little at loose ends I tell them to consider nursing. What other career will allow you to do so many things with the RN. You can sell medical equipme...

9. What's your story? Why did you take up nursing?

   azmimi replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   Yes you can. Somehow you need to convince your husband that a part time job will keep you interesting and on top of things, not to mention your monetary contribution to the family. You will need to enroll in a nursing review class, but once that i...

    44 years on the job, part time, as I helped raise our sons, hmmmm........ Funny, I had planned to be a teacher. I had made some inquiry at the local nursing school, but no serious application. Then my dad found out how much nursing school would save...

    azmimi replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I loved your line when I read it.....I guess that we all have experienced the "backstabbing co-workers". I laughed out loud when I read it. I come to allnurses maybe once or twice a week, don't always sign in, just read some of the posts that inte...

14. Can you write a word "error" when correcting mistake in charting?

    azmimi replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I strike a single line through it and write ME for mistaken entry and my initials and have never been told to do it any other way. I used to write error, but someone told me to use ME for mistaken entry and I liked the sound of it better.....
