  1. Will I be neglectful and selfish?

    GooeyRN replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am one that believes you CAN have it all in life, but NOT all at the same time. Different times of our lives require our focus to be in certain places, while the other area's wait. A lot of people...

  2. anyone actually get good grades in nursing school?

    GooeyRN replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students

    I had an A every semester. Don't set yourself up to not get A's. If you are normally an A student and know how to study well, you can still get A's. It will take work, but it can be done. Good...

  3. Nurse or Hairstylist?

    GooeyRN replied to sassiebaz's topic in General Students

    I say go for hair, and do hair while taking your time through nursing school. By then, your littles will be older and 12 hour shifts wont be as rough. You can always do both part time if you

  4. How do you assess this video of fainting public official?

    GooeyRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  5. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    GooeyRN replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I get your hatred for bra's! I rarely wear one myself if I am not going anywhere. I am a 36B when engorged, and only a 34A when not lactating so I am far from large, though. Its easier to not wear...

  7. How many hours would you work?

    GooeyRN replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    When I was childless and did not HAVE to work, at one job I would work 48ish hours a week b/c I loved the job. Then I moved... I NEEDED about 16 hours a week to make the bills but worked 24. Then...

  8. So, would you or wouldn't you (brand new nurse on unit...)

    GooeyRN replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Psychiatric

    I is so hard to say... The one psych place I worked the people were weird... I dont think it would have gone over well. The last hospital I worked for (med/surg) I think it would have gone over just...

    GooeyRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was working med/surg in a CAH hospital until October when I had a baby. I was not eligible for FMLA. (I did not meet the requirements) No one ever said to me how much time I was allowed off, etc....

  12. Terminated? Do I get paid for unused paid time off?

    GooeyRN replied to GooeyRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is what I believe it is in PA as well. I just did not get the sick time, but was given the vacation time. I should have called off sick when I did not feel well, or used it early in my...

  15. Patient Died from Med Allergy

    GooeyRN replied to NewRN08's topic in General Nursing

  19. Why (I'm told) I can't get job in OB

    GooeyRN replied to pbajil's topic in Ob/Gyn

  20. Should I quit Nursing School???

    GooeyRN replied to sns501's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nursing school will always be there. Your little one will only be little once. If you wait until they are in school, you will not need as much child care and wont have that expense. The older the...

  21. Labor Nurses Floating to Med Surg.....

    GooeyRN replied to crissyc03's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our local hospital is similar. OB nurses work med/surg when there aren't any OB patients. If OB gets a patient, they leave med/surg to take care of the patient. It's a rural hospital. You can't...

  22. so burned out

    GooeyRN replied to edisonnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    I worked child and adolescent psych right out of nursing school. I worked it for a year. I had to move when I got married, and there were no psych hospitals locally. I made the switch to med/surg....

  23. Pain is subjective?

    GooeyRN replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

  25. Pain is subjective?

    GooeyRN replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    I used to let seeking bother me. I don't anymore. These are adults, their bodies belong to them. It is not my job to detox someone if they do not want that. If the doc prescribes something, their...
