1. What do you do for yourself?

   tattoogirl replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

   Try to prepare healthy snacks to bring with you to work to eat throughout the day...lots of fruit, veggies, crackers. I also eat small, more frequent meals. You won't be starving and stuff yourself with fast food or something like that. Have u ever t...

2. Body Art...

   tattoogirl replied to CashewLPN's topic in General Nursing

   Love my tattoo so much I want another, but people can't see it when I wear scrubs (it's on my lower back). Plus i wear undershirts because I'm cold natured. I have nothing against body art or piercings, but I think the majority of people (patients) m...

3. to be or not to be

   tattoogirl replied to mililani's topic in General Nursing

   I am a second semester BSN nursing student and I went through (and still going thru what you have been thinking). The best way to find out if you think u will like nursing is to get in the hospital-volunteering if u can't find a decent job. Seeing wh...

5. Nurse to nurse communication

   tattoogirl replied to MartyL's topic in General Nursing

   Student nurses get it bad, too. I haven't even been around any registered nurses that I liked yet...that's pretty bad. They treat students like we know nothing and can't do anything. And they REALLY get mad when the students know something that they ...

6. outraged at TV show ER

   tattoogirl replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

   I saw it too, but I just think it was the characters (parents) complete ignorance and that's what the producers wanted to get through. I must say though that this season of ER has totally not been very good. I'm very disappointed, even finding myself...

7. Should I change majors and goals to Nursing?

   I've only been in nursing about 8 months, so I haven't had quite a lot of experience yet. I will by the end of this semester and definately by the end of the third semester. I was told that 1st semester would be the hardest, but I'm struggling more n...

8. Should I change majors and goals to Nursing?

   tattoogirl replied to HeatherC's topic in General Nursing

   Oh, gosh. I decided that teaching wasn't enough for me. I always loved biology and watching hospital shows, and I started to feel very drawn to medicine. I did some student teaching my senior year in high school and loved it, but as I was going thru ...

   tattoogirl replied to HeatherC's topic in General Nursing

   I know how you feel...I used to want to do elem. ed and recently changed to nursing about 2 yrs. ago. I changed my degree plan so many times, that I'm paying for it now with actually being a senior (suppost to grad. in May) but I'm a junior nursing s...

10. Drug abuse in Nursing

    tattoogirl replied to mamy's topic in General Nursing

    I just did two presentations on chemically dependent nurses last semester. I think they should by allowed back to work as long as they have a period of monitoring as decided by supervisors. For example, they would only treat minor cases and have anot...
