  1. Why I LOVE night shift

    mmmc2 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the prospect of nights would be perfect for me because I am a night owl. I did like that I could physically adjust to night shifts. I didn't like, however, the lack of support most...

  2. ALL nights or day/night MIX shift to pick? HELP! need to reply to recruiter!

    mmmc2 replied to froggy8's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take all nights. I have worked both and day/night mix is so much harder for your body to adjust too. I'll never do a mix

  3. Drug Test ...

    mmmc2 replied to Mashira's topic in General Nursing

    Mashira, I am so glad I could help :) Having went through it with my first drug screen, I know exactly how you feel...even though you have done absolutely nothing wrong. I was truly shocked when the...

  4. Drug Test ...

    mmmc2 replied to Mashira's topic in General Nursing

    You're fine. I also take Primatene tablets and have tested positive on the rapid screen. You will not have a positive on the lab test, though. Lots of things can give a false positive on the rapid...

  5. what kind of hospital is Centerpoint Medical Center?

    mmmc2 replied to juststartinout's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, stay as FAR away from all HCA hospitals...I worked at Research (for a very brief period) and it was dreadful! Never, never, never, never will I ever work for HCA. I would work in a nursing...

  6. Going home for cramps. Really?

    mmmc2 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    HeartsOpenWide, I am with you sister. I have suffered from this same horrible affliction since I had my last daughter (10 yrs ago)...Periods so heavy that I could swear to God I was bleeding to death...

  7. Lost my first patient - could I be in trouble?

    mmmc2 replied to southernhospitality's topic in General Nursing

    I bet she had an emboli as well...The high sugar didn't factor into her dying...This is exactly why I work hospice. I no longer have to worry about my patients dying. They're supposed to die....oh the...

  8. What's the job market like?

    mmmc2 replied to Kkalasa's topic in General Nursing

    Don't go into nursing just for a job. It looks bleak for GNs in a lot of areas of the country. But it you are doing it because it's what you always wanted to do, things will work out. At least that is...

  9. Walking away from nursing after 8 months

    mmmc2 replied to HeyHeyitsMaay's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have recently came to an inpatient hospice facility. We have a lot of LPNs who have come to hospice from LTC with the same story you have. They love hospice and are glad they made the change. LTC is...

  10. Night shift duty is it better than days???

    mmmc2 replied to stylishgurl's topic in General Nursing

    If you think that nights will be easier, then you will, most likely, be in for a rude awakening. I have worked days and nights, and nights are by far harder (in my opinion)...generally less help...

  11. LTC Job Offer-but can't shadow RN???

    mmmc2 replied to elprup's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are hiding how crappy the job is. I would run as fast as I could from that job! You would probably end up with 30 pts. (or more) all by yourself. Probably be the only RN among LPNs. I...

    mmmc2 replied to cute2's topic in General Nursing

    I meant there is a LOT of ageism. A typo, sorry. I was typing in the

  13. I want OUT!!!!

    mmmc2 replied to shoegalRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are not alone. I graduated last May, and I want out too. I hate being a nurse AND a cna. Because that's basically what I am because of total patient care. I am just realizing that I am not meant...

  14. 46 too old to start nusring school?

    mmmc2 replied to cute2's topic in General Nursing

    There is a log of ageism in nursing, fyi. It may be hard for you to find a job as an older new grad. Just from what I have

  15. reconsidering a nursing career

    mmmc2 replied to daisymae0's topic in General Students

    There's so much backstabbing and what-not in nursing because it is a field made mostly of women. It is just how most of us naturally are, unfortunately. Many women feel better about themselves by...

  16. Nursing as Second Career for Mature Professional w/Full-Time Job?

    mmmc2 replied to journeyhope's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't do it again if I could have a do-over. I would have went to med school instead. Heavy debt for the BSN and a lot of regret. Oh

  17. My love-hate relationship with nursing

    mmmc2 replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it ever gets better at Truman...That's why, as a new grad, I got out while the gettin was

  18. Would you switch to nights for alot more money?

    mmmc2 replied to Maco's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a night person, and I loooove working nights. But whoever says that nights are easier than days is waaaayyyy off. I've done both so I know. To me, days were easier. Patients often left for tests,...

  19. Warning to New Grads

    mmmc2 replied to Little_Mouse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you so much for your post. If I hadn't seen it, I probably would have accepted a job that would have ended up being like the one you were at. I initially interviewed at a SNF for a staff nurse...

  20. Critical Care - ICU - Kansas City - Good Hospitals

    mmmc2 replied to TeleRN83's topic in General Nursing

    The ER at Truman is awesome isn't it. I'm going to be in Tele for a while, but I may try to get down there in about a year. The nurses down there are awesome, especially Jamie. I was with her for 2...

    mmmc2 replied to cmknova's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad as well (May) and I am working at Truman on Hospital Hill. We are just about the only hospital in the KC area that is actually expanding and opening new units. New grads are welcome...

    mmmc2 replied to TeleRN83's topic in General Nursing

    Hi 4jen, Are you still at Truman? I am a new grad and will be starting my orientation next week. I'll be working on 3 red and am so excited. Everyone I have spoken with there has been super nice. So...

  23. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    mmmc2 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, the trick worked for me as well. I took the NCLEX RN on Tuesday morning and just got my quick results...Passed in 75 questions and 52 min. That test was a joke,

  24. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    mmmc2 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took the test (75 questions) in 52 minutes this morning and was convinced I failed just like everyone else. Tons of useless questions that really didn't seem hard enough. So I did the trick and got...
