Show that jerk you can do it!! If nursing is what you want to do, go for it no matter what anyone thinks. I'm not trying to be pessimistic but i've learned over the years that husbands (marriages) are...

I'm sure you don't smell. I know if I would have smelled my mom or husband wouldn't have hesitated to tell me!! Are you in Indiana?....I could come over and give you a sniff test, ha

Um...smell? I have never heard of this. I have been on accutane 2 times myself and have never had anyone tell me I had a smell. Now I'm wondering, did I smell? It's an embarrassing thought, maybe I...

I too am going back into nursing part-time after being away 7 years. I just ordered two books from Amazon.com that looked really helpful. They are "Rnotes: Nurse's Clinical Pocket guide" and "Mosby's...
I was just hired at a LTC facility after being away from nursing for 7 years. I don't know how hospitals would feel about you being away from it for so long, though. Maybe you could start back at a...
