  1. Car germs

    brownbook replied to Jo1212's topic in General Nursing

    😂😂😂😂. I wear my scrubs home, sleep in them, (they make wonderful jammies), and wear them the next morning. Yep, lazy slob here. I, my husband, my adult daughter and...

    :D. I wear my scrubs home, sleep in them, (they make wonderful jammies), and wear them the next morning. Yep, lazy slob here. I, my husband, my adult daughter and grandson who live with me, have...

  3. Order your own labs services

    brownbook replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I guess health care is being outsourced! At a check up with my PCP, one recommended vaccination would be covered, two others wouldn't, she told me to get them at my pharmacy they wouldn't cost as...

  5. Does it look bad to request to go prn from part time when just starting a job?

    brownbook replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for you and admire your having the decency to "feel badly" about leaving the LTC. I would try to convince myself, hopefully be correct, that your DON would understand you need to do what you...

  6. Phlebotomy training before nursing school?

    brownbook replied to LavenderRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how long it takes, how much it costs, and if the job market for phlebotomists is strong? If the answers to those questions are all "reasonable" it is a fine idea. If you worked as a...

  8. Eating disorder nurses

    brownbook replied to Mqnurse43's topic in General Nursing

    I know nothing....but my educated guess is as soon as these kids are physically stable they'd be placed in a mental health unit. Again I'm guessing but even that may be a very short admit. Home to...

  9. A day in the life of Infection Control

    brownbook replied to pandaburr's topic in General Nursing

    brownbook replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Australia's gun laws have reduced the homicide rate to its lowest since 1989-1990. I do not believe America is the only country with troubled generation Z

    brownbook replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    There were two armed security officers at Santa Fe at the time of the shooting. At least that's what one news article

  13. pressure of plastic surgery nursing

    brownbook replied to schoolnurse13k's topic in Aesthetics

    I haven't worked in a private clinic. I work in an ambulatory surgery clinic that does all kinds of surgeries including 1 - 4 plastics a day. I do know plastic surgeons, and their patients, can be...

  14. School Shootings

    brownbook replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    brownbook replied to Starrry's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  16. School Shootings

    brownbook replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    We don't need to reinvent the wheel. Many countries have gun control laws. You can own a gun in these countries, there are simply more restrictions and

  17. Day vs Night Personalities

    brownbook replied to ScottMedicRN's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa there fella. Just kinda joking around. I think days and evenings are way harder than nights. I'm sorry you had a bad experience when you worked nights to help out. That is wrong in so many...

  18. Day vs Night Personalities

    brownbook replied to ScottMedicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I kinda agree. But that wouldn't stop me from applying for a 7 am to 3 pm shift. If you find yourself not liking the day shift personalities it shouldn't be too hard to switch to 11 pm to 7 am...

    brownbook replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    The more I obsess about what do I weigh, have I gained weight, am I getting fat, my pants are tight, am I just bloated or am I fat, etc, the more I over eat. I don't have a weight problem, just the...

    brownbook replied to ral2009's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  21. I suck at phlebotomy... Help?

    brownbook replied to jss1985's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you apply for a job in a lab to be a phlebotomist you will never see "must be comfortable with phlebotomy" in a help wanted post. In my 33 years as a RN, in a wide variety of different...
