I answered your post in a different section...just a few notes down from yours....check it out.....and the best of luck and hope for success in you r nursing career!

Just remember what I said about the FBI Agent who wants to be a nurse.....It works both ways....everything is not always as it seems at first glance! :)

She has to work some pretty difficult hours and she has young children..She would like to work baylor or a couple of nights, etc....she doesn't have any idea what nursing entails.....just thinks the hours would be better....I told her to get a good baby sitter to help when her Husband is not at home...!! It seems silly to give up her great pay, future retirement , etc.....She is more concerned now because she has to deal with a lot of terrorist info,activity, etc. and it makes her worry about her girls. It still is a nicer life than nursing...even though I loved being a nurse prior to my retirement....I am glad she gets to see another side of life.....but .....she still thinks that one day she will go to nursing school.....?????

How ironic! My daughter is an FBI Agent...and wishes she were a nurse! The grass is always greener! :)

What age should nurses retire? Should it be on a case by case basis? Is there ever an age when one is too old to practise nursing? :)

I don't know what kind of a school you are in...2yr?...well something is very wrong...if you are expected to do things you have never been told about...and the tremor should not matter.....the main problem with nurses, as I've learned over more than 40 years out of school, is that they don't care for each other in a caring manner.....there is an old saying that charity begins at home...Let us define charity as love or caring......if we cannot care for one another as fellow nurses, how can we possibly have a sincere caring attitude towards patients? Talk to someone in charge... :angryfire !

As a former New Yorker and graduate of a school in NYC, I would just like to know what and where is BMCC? It is so hard to follow a discussion when you are out of the loop, so to speak!...Thanks for your answers in advance

I have never taken one out, but a patient of mine has....she was sitting up in bed after ambulating back from the bathroom...and said...oh by the way...this came out......surprise, surprise! I have always been under the impression that is was the surgeon's job to remove drains........but who knows these days! I graduated from school in 1959...and things have changed since then.
