  2. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    Repat replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    This has been interesting - I graduated many moons ago, but I still remember the horror when informed that we would be doing breast exams on each other - and, of course, my group included one of the...

    Repat replied to zulu1's topic in General Nursing

  5. long time away from nursing!

    Repat replied to sparkyluv's topic in General Nursing

    Go for the preceptor group - it will get you used to organizing your time, etc., in a non-threatening way, and it keeps you on the RN track. You will always be able to get into the surgical jobs soon...

  6. Clinical rotation

    Repat replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Repat replied to sparkyluv's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, Suzanne4 - I DID start back in the hospital after 15 years (I joked the only thing that was the same was Dulcolax). I found that if your foundations are solid, it really doesn't take that long...

    Repat replied to telenurse04's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  11. long time away from nursing!

    Repat replied to sparkyluv's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in 1985, worked for a year in psych, and moved overseas where I worked in research at a medical school (my title was Research Associate, not nurse). I returned to the US 15 years later,...

  17. feelings about double rooms

    Repat replied to starryx2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I had two children and a few surgeries in Britain. The only time I wanted a private room was when I had the babies - being up all night with your own is one thing, but being up all night with 6 or 8...

    Repat replied to Rnn2003's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks - no offense taken!

  22. Rude Cna To Nurses

    Repat replied to inna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I certainly didn't mean it in a superiority way (about losing a nurse vs. a CNA), but in a financial way - they oriented me for 6 weeks, sent me to a 2-week critical care course, and certified me in...

  23. Rude Cna To Nurses

    Repat replied to inna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, I have just left a job for this very reason. I requested meetings with the NM, who refused to meet with us all together, and proceeded to tell me what a good influence this tech was for the...
