    Lacie replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Dont let what you read entirely affect your decision to enter nursing. Talk to nursing students and active nurses in your area. Everyone has a horror story or 2 to tell and every one has different...

    Lacie replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    St. Joseph's in Lexington is a great place to work. I worked the telemetry stepdown and the CTU/CVICU. Also worked at UK but after working both I prefered St. Joe's over the 2 as not as large. Easier...

  10. RN school and tattoos?

    Lacie replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    Wow I'll have to ask my family doctor if his patients react to his full sleeve tats??? He is also a biker, so guess that makes him "unprofessional". He does wear a tie though and shaves his head lol....

    Lacie replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    Dermablend is a great coverup and is waterproof (check ebay). I use it on my ankle/leg tats whenever I go for interviews or any other event that I dont want it to show and its easily removed at night....

  12. Go to ICU without MedSurg Experience?

    Lacie replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in MICU, SICU

    Lacie replied to jstbg1s's topic in General Nursing

  16. I HATE NURSING!! Now what do I do?

    Lacie replied to csiln's topic in General Nursing

    After a phase of major burnout from ICU/Trauma nursing after 18 years I needed a huge break. I found positions doing Medical Case Management for the Insurance companies. Particularly in Worker's...

  17. Re-entry RN

    Lacie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Need bit of advice on resume writing for re-entry RN. I'm at a loss regarding how much or what to include on a resume. Major brain freeze at this point lol. I have my BSN and had great experience for...

  18. Re-entry RN

    Lacie replied to Lacie's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I was unable to maintain my CCRN as you are required to maintain "active" practice to do so. I do have all my CEU's up to date as I am in Florida and also is a requirement for my KY...
