What brands would you suggest?..i know popular does not always mean high quality.

This is not in response to "can a fat nurse be a good nurse", but it did get me thinking. I am a true apple shape: thick in the middle, thin arms and legs. I still want to look professional in my scrubs but don't know what is the best style..should I...

Those are really cute! Thanks a bunch.

One advertised position in our area required a photo with the resume and stated that if you wouldn't send a picture then do not send a resume. I thought that was very weird. However, being desperate, I sent it anyway. And since I am of average looks...

How right you are, Esme.

After searching and applying online for over 7 months, I finally started pounding the pavement the old fashioned way. And had 2 interviews within 3 days and have a follow up interview for one of those today. So I would recommend to everyone to get ou...

I have had it. On the premise that we must get our scores up, we are now given assigned charting times, one time per shift , must chart in a break room (this never works because our assigned charting times are when our patients are needing help, get...

Take it from a small town girl (pop 5,000)...we are a nosy bunch. We all know each other and we know everybody elses business. And if we don't know, we make something up. We ask what we want to know. The boundaries are a little blurry (or a LOT blurr...

Oh dear God! So heartbreaking.

Having a baby at 37 sucked the life out of me...I cannot imagine this!!!

I know a Dick Long and Fanny Butts (not her maiden name, so she took this one on by choice!)

Not the same place then, :). I did leave that job, however. It is such a shame because it was a great place to work until HCAHPS and everything is what the patient "perceives" (even though they are sick and drugged most of the time!!!). I am currentl...

I have been an RN for 5+ years. After moving with my family last year, I have applied for countless jobs (even out of the medical field)...after 9 months finally got a prn that I don't even like, but I have to help suppport my family. It feels awful ...

Our docs give it PR.

A woman visiting a patient of mine last week had the strangest thing going on with her hair. The front was cut very short but looked kind of normal. The back, however, was past her shoulder and appeared to be formed into a loaf shape, was matted, loo...

No, I have not found out what it was, although I still have nightmares about it getting on me! Sometimes, when I go in that same room to see a patient, I think I can still smell it...yikes. The links posted both had some similarities, although the te...

The formed mullet was a good description of how it actually looked. I have searched the internet for something that looks like it but could not find anything. Going to check out peopleofwalmart. I really wanted one of our docs to see it, and I desper...

If it is dreadlocks, I would say it is one large dreadlock. Would this be intentional? Do you think she can't smell it? So maybe, one day she woke up with a tangle, didn't brush it out, let it go, and over the next days it got worse and worse...so, w...

Yeah, I also would have been laughing if I had not been smelling it!

chapped lips...no joke!

Just to let everyone know, I am 2 months into my new job, learning new things, and SITTING DOWN TO CHART. I am glad I made the change. From what I hear, things are pretty much the same at my old place of employment. And I am not sorry I left. I took ...

It was just so much info, so fast. I kept thinking that if all this was so dang important, they should slow down a little bit! Very high pressure. Totally sucked. But what an accomplishment. You will be so glad when it is over - and proud of yourself...

Thanks for your comments and online hugs :). It never occurred to me to write the board of nursing. Good idea. I have 2 more days to work and will make the best of them.

They could do things like my child's 4K. After you get 5 stars you could go to the treasure box and get a bouncy ball or funny glasses with a big nose and bushy eyebrows!

Demon, but pronounced de-MON.
