one of the most unattractive things in the world is a partner who is unsupportive... remember that an unsupportive partner will be a BANE to anyone REGARDLESS of what career he/she is in

i never believed that grades are the determinants whether or not one will become a good nurse because attitude plays a very vital role as well... im a nurse-educator and honestly,, i always tell my students that the students who get the high marks d...
i think this would be transference (or if the nurse was the one who fell for the patient, counter-transference)... well anyway, i think its very possible considering we are all humans capable of falling for someone, esp if that someone is caring ( wh...

that nurse doesnt have the right attitude. to say that , "were JUST nurses" clearly degrades the profession. while it is true that there are other stuff that only doctors are really proficient at, that doesnt stop us from asking from doctors regardin...
thats all? i mean it said "titrate," nothing else? i think there should have been a specific parameter like for example, titrate until target PR of ___ is achieved then ____ something liek that. is it me or the order was lacking in another component?

as a general rule, stay away from scented ones because greater irritations come from them. there are products that seal in moisture, those are the ones to use for dry cracked skin

i believe that at all times we will have to prioritize the patients based on the triage system. if a patient gets unruly because of feelings of being ignored and starts causing a commotion that it disrupts the er staff, then that patient must be show...
i think almost everyone experiences what you are going through. you have to find the area that you are most suited to. im a new grad too and i got lucky that my job now as an emergency room nurse is what i ACTUALLY love coz i always thought i want to...
hey flopping again doesnt make you less of a person or that youre never gonna be a good nurse. above all, high grades will only go as far because in this profession it doesnt matter whether you got the highest grades, whats important is that you will...
the question is as i see it is: are you unhappy because NURSING is not what you really love doing? think about it, have you ever wanted to be a teacher? i finished psychology and because the job opportunities here are severely lacking for psychology,...
well i heard from some that new mexico is pretty quick. but i think waiting for 3 months for your eligibility from CALIFORNIA is pretty reasonable. hmm i think you might as well go for your nclex first then you can take the language exams provided yo...
1. i do however it is not that developed ? i still commit a few errors now and then 2. 3 to 4 fingers 3. i guess i am coz not too many people around here can type as fast as i could in my opinion 4. ill make a rough estimate only. around 75 or so
i guess the first thing you have to find out is whether the hospitals there will be hiring new nurses who lets face it are a little yknow on the older side? because if you do become a RN and the hospitals dont hire older new nurses you might have pro...
im not a parent, but im nonetheless concerned. im a registered nurse. anyway, the so-called "school nurse" definitely is misrepresenting herself by branding herself as the school nurse and what she is doing is illegal. she isnt even supposed to presc...
by all means, go study what you think you are suited for (in your case labor and delivery). if you decide to be a nurse-midwife i believe you will have a "dual role" of being a nurse in addition to being a midwife; you perform both functions ideally....
i dont think that it is necessary because if that is the field that you want to be in, by all means get in that field. gaining 2 years in medical surgical wont necessarily make you more qualified or even be an effective psychiatric nurse for that mat...

personally, if someone would do the same thing to me, right then and there i would put them in their place. i mean hello??? no one (READ: NO ONE) has the right to make you feel miserable about yourself. it no longer is an issue of cultural difference...
if you say that you really want to finish the course, then by all means finish it. i always believe that if you want something really bad, then nothing should stop you doing it. as for your depression, i remember something that a famous psychologist ...
