  1. Fired for Yelling at Preceptor!

    nurseaboveboard replied to ladylikeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am somewhat surprised at the lack of support for Ladylike. It might be different if both preceptors had difficulty with her, but I have had a couple preceptors that were hell on wheels, and felt...

  3. RN's attitute toward the LPN

    nurseaboveboard replied to shoegirl28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You know, my entire career I have never understood this nonsense. I have worked with so many LPNs and RNs who have taught me so much, and I hope I have taught them also. I just kind of figure we're...

  4. Teaching @ Brown Mackie

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Well, they call themselves a college, but I don't know what governs that. If they're not regionally accredited, does this imply problems for the graduates, taking boards, getting jobs, etc? Thanks...

  5. Working and NP school

    nurseaboveboard replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I took a power weekend position. This freed me up Mon-Fri. Prior to this I worked Mon-Fri in a family practice clinic that was 250 steps from my door! Man, I wish I had that job

  6. Teaching @ Brown Mackie

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Why thank you sirI, but is the overall college accreditation the same as a good nursing program being accredited by some accrediting body that applies only to nursing schools? Does this question even...

  7. Teaching @ Brown Mackie

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    OK, they have called me for an interview today. I really would be interested in any of you who have experience with them to post before I go to the interview. I read on the board somewhere that their...

    nurseaboveboard replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    Update for Miss Chybil: Don't ever forget that YOU don't know what struggles, physical and/or mental that OTHER posters to this thread have or are going through. I actually am interested in the level...

  9. Fibromyalgia

    nurseaboveboard replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    Dear I Love MY Cat...no WONDER we disagree, I'm REALLY allergic to cats! Actually though, I think cats are the most BEAUTIFUL of animals, and if I wasn't allergic, I totally would have one. I'll tell...

  10. They called the cops!

    nurseaboveboard replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

  12. 1st med error!

    nurseaboveboard replied to LVN_LPN_2007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I maintain that if a nurse says he or she has never made a mistake, they are either telling less than the truth or they haven't been a nurse that long. Relax. You did the right thing by calling. Rest...

  13. Fibromyalgia

    nurseaboveboard replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    Wow, this topic always offends folks who have "it" when those of us who can't buy "it" express our feeling about "it" but here's my two cents worth. I have two female cousins actually on disability...

    nurseaboveboard replied to SilverMist's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh my Silvermist, I am sorry for you! I think I just recently read on this site about someone who finally passed after something like six tries? I don't have particular advise for you, but I bet many...

    nurseaboveboard replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi again. Hot topic in more ways than one. I would like to add for the benefit of nightcrawler and others that my adopted grandchildren were first in the foster program. The oldest one, the little boy...

  16. Unborn Children

    nurseaboveboard replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    We once had a person committed for the duration of her pregnancy because she was an opiate user. She gave birth and the child was taken. This was maybe her 3rd? She finally got her tubes tied....

  17. VENT: Moldy roommate

    nurseaboveboard replied to love-d-OR's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey, when my son was in college, he shared an apt. with a kid that just refused to clean up after himself. This went on for some time, and they were supposed to be sharing chores, etc. Finally, after...

  18. Anyone working for WIC?

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's been more than two months since I left the WIC job, and I still thank myself every day! I am totally going to stay away "hoop jumping." I NEVER WAS ANY GOOD AT

    nurseaboveboard replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm just going to keep on keeping on with my previous resolution which is to take off the rest of the weight I gained after my sis died (49 pounds). I topped out at 179 and now weigh 146, but...

  22. Lipid lowering success stories

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    Well thank you Baptized, I wasn't aware of that. I thought the whole idea of natural supplememts was that the FDA couldn't regulate. Well, there ya go. No matter how old I get, you all manage to teach...

  23. Doctor becoming Nurse?

    nurseaboveboard replied to tenrec's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi. I am thinking after reading your posts that if you're miserable in your current situation (feast or famine), maybe you should take a serious look at changing your priorities. Would your family...

  24. Lipid lowering success stories

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    Have any of you had success using red rice yeast (I think that's what it's called)? It's essentially a "natural statin." My own success has come from gradual weight loss, moderate exercise and fish...
