  1. Anyone working for WIC?

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    Well, thanks to all posters, but hold the applause, I didn't have the stomache for this job. I felt like a libertarian in a socialist environment. We were in with Headstart, Early Head Start, Healthy...

  2. Anyone working for WIC?

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone, thank you for your posts! I got a little bit different slant than I hoped for, which was who of you have actually worked or are working for WIC, and also, what problems do you encounter? As...

  3. Anyone doing Curves?

    nurseaboveboard posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm thinking about joining Curves For Women. I will be going past it with my new job, so it will be convenient. I recently tried out some different classes at the "Y" too, but my fitness level was not...

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

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

    Hi all. Couldn't get back for awhile, but just read your posts. Thanks! I'm not exactly an exercise novice, but think I need something more well rounded, so do plan to check out Curves and/or maybe a...

    nurseaboveboard replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh my gosh...the drama!!! I just saw this post for the first time, so I knew Monday was past. Still, I wouldn't let myself read the last page first so I could see the outcome. Had to follow EVERY...

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

    Well, I've really enjoyed this thread! Thank you all! My login basically means without deceit. I try my best to give people a fair shake, approach them in an honest manner and hope I get the same. It...

  9. How do you keep your uniforms whit as can be?

    nurseaboveboard replied to mycatmax's topic in General Nursing

    If it is still available, there is a product called Iron Out. It helps with hard water deposits, rust, etc. I believe it comes in a powder form. Follow the directions and DON'T do what I did the first...

  12. My Birthday,so Can Post In This Forum,yeah???

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in Nursing Humor

    Well, thanks all. I had a great birthday! Dinner out courtesy of my kids, lots of great chocolates, and more. I've been trying to conjure up the name of that horse! My mom died 12 yrs. ago. She never...

  13. Anyone not making med errors?

    nurseaboveboard replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, any nurse who claims never to have made a med error either hasn't been a nurse very long or is telling less than the truth. We do so much to minimize making mistakes, yet we ARE human, therefore...

  14. Worried re Insurance/cobra woes. Advice?

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I'm going to call HR "toot sweet." (Is that a saying? My mom always said it but don't know where it came from, or if I spelled it right). Although she's gone many years, she still channels...

  15. Worried re Insurance/cobra woes. Advice?

    nurseaboveboard posted a topic in General Nursing

  17. HELP! newly grad HIRED

    nurseaboveboard replied to mcg1929's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Anyhow....to try and answer the poster, no I do not think two weeks of orientation is enough, new grad or old dog like me! You must take responsibility for your training and insist on more. Also ask...

    nurseaboveboard replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! Thanks! Well, yeah, I think my original employer screwed up, realized it and tried to rectify, finally sending me the COBRA options. My last ACTUAL insurance from the 2nd...

  19. HUGE scrubs!

    nurseaboveboard replied to DreamyEyes's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yeah, but I got hips, darn it!!! If it fits in the hips, it's too big in the waist, fits in the shoulders, too tight on the hips. I produced a daughter who is almost perfectly proportioned however!...

  20. HUGE scrubs!

    nurseaboveboard replied to DreamyEyes's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  22. Salary questions for AL nurses

    nurseaboveboard replied to 12breakfree's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Thanks Fronkey for posting. I've worked a few of these weekend programs because I have to drive quite a distance, so it cuts down on driving. Also, weekends worked so well when I was still going to...

  23. Is Volunteering with inactive license possible after retirement?

    nurseaboveboard replied to oldflossie's topic in Retired Nurses

    Hi. I can't imagine any senario where I wouldn't keep my license active. They'll have to burn me at the stake. However, here's my dream job: I would be "independently wealthy" and could just show up...

  25. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    nurseaboveboard replied to jill48's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Interesting thread, but I'm afraid a little name calling (or labeling) HAS been resorted to, at least toward Vickinurse (judgemental, bitter, rigid). I'm just sayin' folks. One thing I WOULD call her...
