Mustang Sally

I graduated in May and had trouble finding a job. I evenutally found something in Med/Surg at a horrible rural hospital. That lasted 3 months when one of the Level 1 hospitals in my area called me for an interview. I am now in the ED and I am exactly...

I graduated in May and I work on an extremely busy 29-bed M/S unit. I had 6 weeks of unhelpful orientation and my first day on my own, they slammed me with 6 pts! Fortunately House interveined and took 2 away from me. But here is my situation: I just...

I'm in my last year of nursing school and I get that all the time! My grandma asks me, "Look at this place on my arm. What is it?" Umm...I don't know, grandma. Go see your dermatologist since you have a hx of melanoma! It is a compliment but it does ...

Last semester it was the same stuff we used in HPRS. I never used mine and the only difference is instead of a straight catheter it comes with a Foley.

I'm an NLC 2nd semester student and I received my books and skills pack in the mail today. Stupid question...do I need to get one of those "tackle boxes" for my skills pack that I see everyone carrying around and if so, where do I get it?

I sometimes do...I did great on my final and I'm ready for break before our Pedi OB/Gyn semester!

Hello...I will be starting my first semester of nursing school in August. While I'm THRILLED and ready to jump in with both feet, I'm scared to death! I think I'm scared of the "unknown" as it's different than other majors. Has anyone else dealt with...

What about physician-assisted suicide/right to die?

My mom and dad had "his and hers" colonoscopies last week. My mom also had an upper GI. We told the doc to make sure he doesn't get the scopes confused and to do the upper GI first...just in case! Then, when it was my dad's turn...he yells, "Here com...

Just speaking from personal experience, I was on the pill for 8 years and switched to Depo. Was on Depo for a year and never had any female problems until then. I began to have ovarian cysts and endometriosis. Took care of those problems with surgery...

My plan is to take my brother's advice. He's a paramedic and when he was in school they told him for every hour you are in class, it's 2 hours of study time. Many nights he was at the kitchen table until some ungodly hour studying and he graduated 3r...

Paul-I am so sorry for your loss and all your troubles. You'll be in my prayers. Just remember: God doesn't put more on us than we can handle and what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. Best of luck with your surgery and please keep us posted.

I know a guy named Yrral (I-rahl). His dad's name is Larry, his brother is Larry, Jr, so his name is Larry backwards. Seriously! My aunt's daughter-in-law named her 2 girls Stormie and Rainie! We told her to name the 3rd one Wendy and the'd have an e...
