la bellota BSN, RN

Well let me start my thread on a happy note. I did it. I graduated. I even graduated top of my class. And I feel pretty good. Especially since I had to work full time during school and I am a single mama. (Thank God for miracles that helped me t...

I have to agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Ian. And in regards to coffee or tea, you are right. It is not my job, but it is a courtesy I extend. And I may not have been the cause of the injury, but shame on me if I had the opportunity to help and I sh...

I don't think that you can love more or less. Love just is. It can't be fixed or forced. And you cannot prevent the mistakes of other folks. As moms...we try to keep our kids from making mistakes....but really our job is to show them how to live...

I am a new grad....and there are some nights that we have a bunch of folks like you described. I understand people like/need to vent....but eek! I feel bad sometimes because I need their knowledge but I suffer under their bad attitudes. I pray the ...

I am happy that you pulled through. That is wonderful. Maybe with this new chance you should try some different part of nursing that you *always* wanted to do. Maybe your body and mind are trying to tell you something....that you are meant to test th...

I am not sure how to answer that. I am new....but I am finding it is a day to day thing. Some days are great and I think about all the opportunities I have to make a difference even if it is small. Some days I am crying in my car and sucking it up...

Good for you! You did good. I am so proud of you and I don't even know you....but I wish I could shake your hand. (((hugs)))

You are lovely, Vito...just lovely. You know something. I get the idea that you would understand. It can be a downer to work a holiday...yes. But one little thing keeps me going....even on the regular days where I am tired...and I don't think I ca...

I have checked....and I am thinking the best medicine for you at this moment is.... a big hug.....(((((hug))))) hope all will get better soon.

I think it is a matter of respect and it goes both ways. I am a night nurse. We have good and bad on both shifts. I do wish that the day shift offenders would consider that they are cutting into our sleep time. I also hate it when they call me at ...

i get you. :)

A few months into the program, I realized.....that *I* was not going to make it through this alone. I read a lot of books. Stayed up lots of nights. Tried to make it. Struggled. Cried. Wept. And then I remembered to go to the Bible...the Greatest Ref...

I took my boards in June and passed with 75 Questions! (woot woot) I started a job on July 7 in the PCU in an evening position. I am slightly overwhelmed but yet excited and happy all at the same time. I am a single mom....so I worry what I will d...

thank you for being.....just thank you for being. *hug*

You can do it.....you know the material....you know it! :heartbeat Only anxiety will stop you now!! But forget about that because you can do this!! Claim it! ~~~~ I wish there was a way to stay together.... I would love to know what everyone will g...

I have a DRG. I love the sounds...hate the bulk.

I heart swamp nurse :)

Angie....be encouraged. It is especially hard to stay encouraged....but thankfully....God watches. I have a praise report. I took my NCLEX....and passed!!! I am now an RN!! Hallelujah!!! God is Good

missmykids.... You know you can go all the way to 265 and pass. So keep the faith sister. I am praying for you.

woot woot I passed... I passed!!!! OK....so this is what happened. It is kinda of funny........in retrospect. OK....I went in all nervous, scared and freaky. I sat down and I started with the preliminary 6 or 7 questions they use to acclimate you to ...

Today was our first day of med surg. I had a very nice patient. He had a very nice family there to be there with him. He will be my patient tomorrow and I am very lucky. I was assigned another patient. When we all arrived.....he was alone. When we ar...

Hi everyone! I am going to finish nursing school with my RN in a month. I 'was' considering going to Colorado. (and I may yet still) I am going to be a New Grad. CO doesn't seem very new grad friendly. (Just my impression....not a concrete fact) B...

SUPER HURRAY !!!! And Congrats!!!!!:redpinkhe Hey Guys! I had to move my NCLEX to June 3rd. Can I still stay with y'all???????
