    RNfromMN replied to 2lip's topic in General Nursing

  2. You Know You're a Young(er) Nurse when...

    RNfromMN replied to cristina26houston's topic in General Nursing

    RNfromMN replied to naijanurse's topic in General Nursing

  5. Why can't I work for 2 hospices?

    RNfromMN replied to AtlantaRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I was always under the impression that they can't depend on you to cover for anyone if you have a second job. I was told that when I was hired as a CNA @ a place where you weren't allowed to have...

    RNfromMN replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

  9. dreams

    RNfromMN replied to LargoLPN's topic in General Nursing

    One very sad thing I learned when working with severely mentally retarded pts is that many many many families completely abandon their children, usually after age 10. I was shocked @ all the charts I...

  10. Crying?

    RNfromMN replied to RN BSN 2009's topic in General Nursing

  11. Suggestions for what to do during this gap in between classes

    RNfromMN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in my last year in the nursing program. The first 8 weeks of this semester were jam-packed with classes & clinicals:bugeyes: . It was nuts, but I made it:yelclap: . The flip side of this is,...

    RNfromMN replied to RNfromMN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the advice you guys...sorry it took me awhile to respond - I didn't get notified of any posts for whatever reason. Soldierswife, you have re-inspired me to start working out again. That...

  13. What did nursing school do to you?

    RNfromMN replied to samaletta's topic in General Nursing

    Negatives: 1) I had to quit working altogether because my grades were in the toilet for the 1st semester...don't get me wrong - it's great that I have a mother who can help me do this, but I feel so...

  14. Isolation pt's and spreading diseases

    RNfromMN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Huh?:selfbonk: I'm just a nursing student, but I'm pretty sure you're right about baby's immunes systems being weaker than ours...isn't that a no-brainer? Isn't that why babies are constantly having...

  15. I think I failed...

    RNfromMN replied to Kalee829's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm gonna go with the old standby here: expect the worst, pray for the best. I can definitely understand your anxiety, but I don't think anything you've posted necessarily means you failed...you...

  16. ADN--should i just give up?

    RNfromMN replied to kasia87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No! No giving up! This isn't exactly something to brag about, but I failed Chemistry twice, had to take Micro twice because I dropped it the first time before they could fail me...by the time I...

  17. Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    RNfromMN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    This guy's a weirdo. Trust your gut & don't second guess yourself. Not to freak you out, but if this continues, the title of your post could be written by somebody else about

  18. Enraged (venting)

    RNfromMN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    Just be thankful this guy isn't a part of your family, or somebody you care about. Just about the hardest thing I've ever had to do was babysit a friend of mine who couldn't handle his booze. It's...

  19. Am I the only one that hates clinical?

    RNfromMN replied to scubadooII's topic in General Students

    My preceptorship is sometime next semester, too. I'm excited, but also sooo nervous. I don't feel like I'm prepared for this at all...does anyone have any preceptorship stories? What's it like?...

  20. Venting and Advice Needed...Just Can't Do This Anymore!

    RNfromMN replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    That's a ridiculous schedule. I just wanted to post to say that I sympathize with the jumping around of shifts. I absolutely loathe working NOC shifts, but I'd rather be full-time nocs than nocs...

    RNfromMN replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    I've waitressed, bartended, cocktailed, & kissed some major pa-toot working in a high class hotel...pretty safe to say that I hated 99% of my customers. I think I get where you're coming from :)...

  22. what did you do in your former life?

    RNfromMN replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Hotels, hotels, hotels...front desk, for about 5 years. Was told I was really good at it, too. I even considered making that my lifetime career. It's such a back-stabbing industry, though. No one...

  23. What is working with Alzheimers pts like?

    RNfromMN replied to Kashia's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Amen to that. I would never let the Alzheimer's pts I take care of see it, but I become incredibly frustrated working with them...it's going to kill me as a nurse. (Where's the...

  24. Not sure what to think!

    RNfromMN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in General Nursing

    Huge red flag when he told you to think about it because he didn't want to hire someone just to have them quit after a couple months. Hmmm...something you've been through before,

  25. Am I the only one that hates clinical?

    RNfromMN replied to scubadooII's topic in General Students

    :offtopic: Platinum, I took care of a pt for over a year that had a g-tube for all her meals for many years, then, I don't know what happened...they did another swallow study on her, or something,...
