  1. The best nursing advice you've ever received

    Black Jade replied to findingmywayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Smile-so that people can see you as being approachable. Take care of yourself first and ask for help before you end up feeling burnout (too late for me). Trust nobody. Do not be part of the gossip,...

  2. Stop the bullying

    Black Jade replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    I was bullied in Junior High because of my eczema that was covered from head to toe. I saw my bully again six years later in Junior College and she apologized about her behavior saying that she felt...

  4. What would you have done in my situatio

    Black Jade replied to ldcmw1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are being an advocate for the patient and for the unborn child; you are doing everything right. The sad part for me (besides not getting the support that you need) is that the patient is 26 y/o...

  5. Correct way to give IM injections?

    Black Jade replied to Black Jade's topic in Patient Medications

    With everything that is going on with the swine flu vaccine, the news show nurses giving it slowly. I think I am paying more attention on what I'm seeing than what I'm hearing.

    Black Jade replied to ichigoismyhomie's topic in California Nursing

  7. How do you handle bad odors in a clinic setting?

    Black Jade posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work at a clinic and we had a patient 2 days ago with a huge ulcer on his left lower extremity (possible elephantiasis?). It seems that his ulcer was oozing, because the stench was coming out from...

  8. The patient who wouldn't stop screaming...

    Black Jade replied to NewWayofLife's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like the patient who came to my clinic during lunch time crying to be taken to the hospital because she was in so much pain (she also had fibromyalgia and anxiety). Then when I told her...

  9. Have anyone of you ever attempted Nursing school more than once??

    Black Jade replied to TY4Life's topic in General Nursing

    TY4Life, Been there...and this too shall pass. I didn't pass my final by 1 point and realized that I wasn't going to graduate with my class. That was May 2007. Like you, I felt like I was mourning....

    Black Jade replied to casperx875x's topic in General Nursing

    I understand how you feel, casper. I work in a community health setting, and even though people think that it is not as stressful as working in a hospital, it is. Especially for a newbie like me,...

  19. it is depressing and dissapointing

    Black Jade replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Trying, I think you should focus more on your goal than the what if's. What was the reason that drew you into nursing in the first place? It's true, you may have a lot of backstabbing,...
