I absolutely love when I have students! They got my back!

After Grad, Halifax started me at $19, they just had a thing where they were paying the per diems for not having insurance, then they tried to (or did) (I'm not sure) take a percentage away. It was in the Daytona Beach News Journal. I felt like I was...

Almost a new grad here (DEC 12!!!) , I got a 7a-7p waiting for me on the floor where I want to be. I had to chuckle, I got the job now, I sent out the invites to pinning, now I HAVE to study! LOL!!

I never heard of that. I have a friend that swears by Topamax and Axert.

It's made it soooo musch better... I was able to get rid of his sorry A$$!!LOL!! In first semester, 8 out of 20 were there to get earning power to get rid of husbands. We can support our kids!

I finally bought my favorite t-shirt from my favorite t-shirt place! It says: "Nurse Betty says: I'm here to save your a$$, not kiss it!"

I don't work in a healthcare environment yet and I wear scrubs alot as I have no "civilian" clothes. I started eating my way out of clothes Med/surg semester and am just starting WW to lose those M&M's I found while studying!

Where we are doing our last semester clinicals now, the CNA's stand back and the RN's tell us to do the bed & baths in addition to our RN things we're learning. They say as RN's we are responsible for the total care of our patients CNA's or not. ...

That's funny that you say that. I graduate in Dec ADN. I've been approved for more grants and loans that would come in handy for Christmas! I keep thinking...watercolor classes!!

Back when I was growing up, (many moons ago!) there was talk of suing for "alienation of affection" anyone ever hear of that?

I'm giving a scenario in about 2 weeks about how NOT to give report. I thought I'd give examples of real-life horrible reports and outcomes if you wouldn't mind sharing. Thanks! I know when I was an aide it was alot of things "suposedly" were done, b...

At cafepress.com, I got one that said, "Who is Don Gloves?" They have some funny ones. The one I got for Psych said, "Freud Astair" and had pics of freud dancing!

THANK-YOU!!! :wink2: Sometimes during school I feel I could start a new NDX: Knowledge constipation R/T word overload!! When I do a careplan, I find after I get one sentence the rest flows. It's just that little push I needed!!

AYYYYYIIIEEEE!!! I was looking ahead and I thought for preceptorship we just got assigned, went there and then started learning!! We have to come up with goals we want to accomplish! I want to 1. Learn 2. Make it through the day. 3. Get it over with!...

You're not alone. I grad in Dec. too and can't decide. I'm going to do Med/Surg while I figure it out.

It depends. In Florida you can get a letter from the school after Basic Nursing, Med Surg, OB and Peds. Several of my classmates did this.

I don't know anything about the LPN program there, but I do know that the LPN's going to RN joined us during our 3rd semester. It ends up being more money and time I think, where if you just did RN it's 5 semesters, the LPN would be however many they...

Hi Green Mountains! I graduate this coming Dec. (2006) from DBCC. It is said there is a waiting list, but while I was doing my pre-reqs, I heard all kinds of things from a year to two years. I finished my Pre's in the Spring, and in the Summer I got ...

I looked so gooooood before school started!! I had done the "divorce diet"! LOL!! Then I rode my bicycle. Sometime during second semester, right after Halloween, I started in on my daughter's Halloween candy and didn't stop munchin'. Now I plan on ha...

Can they just go get a pedicure from a manicurist? Or if you wanted to start that as a buisiness, just get a manicurists license and do it under that?

Not an April Fool's, but for my Hubbie atthetime's Bday, I got the truck arranged so he wouldn't go behind it and hung a sign, "HONK AND WAVE, IT'S MY 30th BIRTHDAY!" He said he was wondering why everyone was real friendly! It was on there until he w...

[quote name=panamama so nurses...how do you introduce yourself to patients if at all, and does it matter?[/quote] I worked with alot of "home folk" in a small hospital when I was an aide. Patch Adams is my favorite movie, so I usually said something ...

Just finished Mom/baby clinicals last semester. I was coming out of my assigned patient's room and the nurse asked me about the patient's discharge. I told her it was "scant". The nurse looked at me like I had lost my mind and then cracked up when sh...
