  1. Waiting Lists?

    LNDRN19 replied to USAF0625's topic in General Nursing

    I am a UNM nursing student graduating in May. There's no waiting list there, but as elizabetta said, it is competitive. It's not impossible to get in. It's a pretty good school. Go for it and good...

  3. Silent birth? Anyone see one?

    LNDRN19 replied to Sis123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a pretty silent birth with my second child, but it wasn't because I felt as though I couldn't make noise. I just didn't. I guess I felt more prepared or something. Now, with my first (I had her...

    LNDRN19 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi-- I graduate 5/12/06 and am applying for jobs. Is it expected of new grads to work nights? I have two kids and would like to at least try to get a day shift. There are some outpatient clinics...

    LNDRN19 replied to becky88's topic in General Nursing

    I was actually an extra recently in a movie starring Kevin Kline called "Welcome to America." (It's slated to be released late 2006). The good part of being an extra: it's fun to see the...

  6. How do you cope with child abuse?

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    what also blows me away is these mothers act as if nothing is going on, or defend the abuser. my stepfather used to beat the crap out of me when i was a kid. same story--he was always either...

  8. How long did you breastfeed?

    LNDRN19 replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in General Nursing

    I only did it until my son was 4 months old. He sprouted 4 teeth and refused to stop treating my nipples like chew toys.

  9. How do you cope with child abuse?

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    We nurses could really come up with some creative punishments for these types of "parents." I just want to tell these parents that if they can't love their kids enough to not hurt them, then give...

    LNDRN19 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    it's probably the same story, becaue the article pertained to the mother being on trial. they tried the old insanity thing, which resulted in a mistrial. the mother planned to cut off her own arms and...

  11. Timely documentation

    LNDRN19 replied to gamegirlkimmy's topic in Nurse Management

    I'd like to tell a little story--I was a nurse intern on an orthopedics unit. On this particular day, I was assigned to work with a R.N. other than my normal preceptor because she was working with a...

  12. Worried a past mistake will mess up my nursing chances

    LNDRN19 replied to Bethey0622's topic in General Nursing

    I bet that the BON is more concerned about offenses that would bring one's ability to be trusted around patients into question, i.e., assault and/or battery. Shoplifting is a very common crime. People...

  14. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

    LNDRN19 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    I am graduating May 12th, and I just have to agree with those of you who mentioned the peeve of people carrying on conversations and laughing during class. How many politically correct ways are there...

  16. MD can't walk across the room to get a chart

    LNDRN19 replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    My mom (a 38-year nurse) had a fellow nurse once tell a doctor, "You know, M.D. does not stand for medical deity." I think that the way some doctors treat nurses is reprehensible. I've had a couple of...

  17. Feeling Guilty (calling in sick)

    LNDRN19 replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a family and adamantly defend the stance that those in managerial positions should take their employees' situations on a case-by-case basis. In another thread that I started, I mentioned that I...

  18. Feeling Guilty (calling in sick)

    LNDRN19 replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    that was pretty cold. many companies do recognize sick days for family members. why would you use vacation time when you are sick? you didn't plan it. also you can't just get someone to come to your...

  22. Feeling Guilty (calling in sick)

    LNDRN19 replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    When you have kids, their sickness is your sickness. Don't feel an ounce of guilt about it. If I ever had to choose between a job and my kids, my kids would win that hands down. There are plenty of...
