    scizzerin replied to sweetiehrt7985's topic in General Nursing

    I believe there was a thread on this. I actually got 6 sets on ebay for 35 bucks, but I also checked www.uniformadvantage.com & the Jasco website. But the ebay deal was too good, I think the guy...

    scizzerin replied to LanaBanana's topic in MICU, SICU

    I'm kind of in the same boat. I just accepted a position in a icu/pcu unit, and we have a two week training period. I think my biggest fear would be not getting a vital piece of information and...

    scizzerin replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

  10. Help I Didn't Pass! :(

    scizzerin replied to nicistarr's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa, that's a bummer. What I would do, if I were you, is to find a tutor. Don't take the last test because if you do (without tutor) and fail, you'll have to wait a year. I haven't quite made it to...

    scizzerin replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    scizzerin replied to spoiledbrat0627's topic in General Nursing

    scizzerin replied to BBQvegan's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's about seeing from another's point of view. Personally, if the "Great DayPlanner of Life" existed, I would have scheduled my daughter later. But, since I was told I couldn't have any, I...

  16. when your family member is acting obnoxious

    scizzerin replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    When my mother was ill before she passed away, she was very sweet to all the nurses and aides, but it was my step father who was obnoxious. I know it was desperation and fear that made him act the way...

    scizzerin replied to capribry's topic in General Nursing

  18. Ever been accused of being an "overcompensator"?

    scizzerin replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    He's definately a butt head. You must mean P.H.A.T., not fat! (Pretty, Hot, And Tempting) I had a family member (who is also a drop out) accuse me of thinking I was "better than my roots". Talk about...

  19. Age when you had your first child?

    scizzerin replied to sugabuga's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was 23 when my daughter was born. I don't really think there is a set "age" when you should have a baby. I guess the same could be said of the age needed to get married. Ha! I had kidney failure as...

    scizzerin replied to KAW1962's topic in General Nursing

  21. Depressed and Torn

    scizzerin replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    A good stress reliever for me was PEDICURES! sounds goofy, but really worked. Also, this time of year brings forth the most depression, probably because of colder weather (not Florida!) so I'd pop...

  22. Patient with bad body odor

    scizzerin replied to capribry's topic in Ob/Gyn

  23. I'm not getting called for an interview!!

    scizzerin replied to ilovebuster's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think it might have something to do with them having to pay more for you than they would with an LPN? I'm not sure what position you were applying for, but that might be a reason. You always...

  24. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

    scizzerin replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn
