About witch2eyescat

witch2eyescat specializes in Geriatrics.


I graduated in May 2015 and passed the NCLEX! THAT was one of THE most stressful life events ever! I'm sure everyone here is familiar with that feeling lol😉 I now work in LTC and love it, I love the residents, and enjoy going to work...most days of course haha, we all need a break sometimes. I'm a late starter at this career, being over 40 when I graduated, it has been a great journey that has proven to me how much stress the body can take, and how hard we push ourselves affects further desire to push on.

  4. "When Was the Last Time I Wow'ed a Patient?"

    I laughed so hard! What a stupid interview question to ask a nurse, or any health care provider I think. That sort of question is usually asked while interviewing a candidate for Clair's or Stitches clothing stores for teeny boppers, and it makes me ...

    Hi, I'm in 3rd year, they still make us do this crap in Self & Others.
