  1. The truth about EAP Counseling

    phoenix72 replied to kmftiko's topic in General Nursing

    I was an HR Manager before leaving to become a Pre-nursing student. I LOVED our EAP and can say that we never got any reports of who used it, who didn't etc. It is confidential and a wonderful...

    phoenix72 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this post. A lot of time when I read here, I wonder if I'm making the right choice of professions. I know that people use it to vent and I'm sure I'll do the same. However, I got the...

    phoenix72 replied to m_chatelaine's topic in California Nursing

  4. Did I over react??

    phoenix72 replied to donegal1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nursing student yet, but I would have felt the same way. I pray that I never get to the point when a baby, or any other human, would become "It". If I ever reach that point, I'm done. I...

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Health, Stress Management

    phoenix72 replied to cincin1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    phoenix72 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree with you more!!! My deadbeat step-brother gets foodstamps and he has no children and works! It's disgusting. I hope she gets all the help she deserves. I think offering to help...

    phoenix72 replied to nitesky83's topic in General Nursing

    phoenix72 replied to Honeybun1206's topic in General Nursing

  16. Fresno...Fresno...Fresno

    phoenix72 replied to m_chatelaine's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not trying to start anything, by any means, but I'm wondering what data you've used to determine that Fresno lets gangs run free range. You are incorrect in this as the police have implemented...

  17. Fresno...Fresno...Fresno

    phoenix72 replied to m_chatelaine's topic in California Nursing

    We do have gangs in the bad side of town, like most other large cities. However, I have never personally been the victim of foul play in the 33 years I've lived here nor have my family or friends....

  18. What would you do???

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They're RN course is actually only 2 years long. The problem is that they only choose 50 out of 600+ each fall/spring to enter the program. Each semester you have to be put back into the lotto with...

  19. What would you do???

    phoenix72 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Upon checking with my Community College, there is about a 5 year turnaround time for their RN course. At 34 years old, this is a lot of time to spend simply earning an AS degree. I have re-applied...

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the advice. The drive is absolutely a huge negative for me. I appreciate your help.

  21. What would you do???

    phoenix72 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked into COS and noticed they give residence preference. The funny thing is, a lot of their students come here to FCC where we DO NOT give residence preference. I can't help but feel that's not...

  22. why so mean?

    phoenix72 replied to johnsonprn2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm curious, how did you feel as a student? Did you like to be spoken to like this? "You're in the way" really??? I have trained new people in many former occupations and yes, they are slower....

  24. What's special about male nurses?

    phoenix72 replied to GBS_Fan's topic in General Nursing

  25. Resigning

    phoenix72 replied to RN IN KY's topic in General Nursing

    At my former job, I was a Recruiter. When I was doing a background check, I would ask the former employer if the employee had given notice. If they said "no", it was a red flag. I agree with...
