If any of you can answer my questions/offer advice I would greatly appreciate it. I will try to make my background brief. Graduated 6 years ago (RN,BSN). Worked in LTC for 18 months. Worked in NICU for 3.5 yrs. Went from full-time to part-time to...

My daughter has a plantar wart that is very painful for her and she needs to get it removed. I am not sure what method they will use to remove it, but it brought to mind a question that I thought someone here might be able to answer. Don't think I a...

Quickbeam...10 years?! That is a long time! I would have gone to a doctor for more aggressive treatment! Good advice from all, especially about the vaccinations. I am taking her to the doctor today. I'm not sure if he'll do something there or ref...

Oh shoot. I have done one of these, an' I ain't sayin' which one.

Joe_Public, which side are you on? After the votes are in I must know if you won the bet or not!

Obviously, you are right. But whenever someone in my family hangs it with the free end dangling down the back, I remove it. Then I "replace" it facing the front. Funny...no one ever comes behind me and changes it back. By the way, I have my str...

:roll Reminds me of the time my sister went through a drive-thru to order a sub and asked for "hot peckers" on it! :roll

You might consider attending a nursing job fair in your area. Put together a resume and go with the idea that you are there with no obligations. Simply ask around...talk to recruiters about what they are looking for and let them know what you are l...

I used to work per diem in a NICU...never got cancelled...they were calling me in all the time to work! I now do per diem home visits. The agency is small, hence I don't get very many cases, but it is just enough for me, as I homeschool my children....

My advice...If you're feeling exhausted, take a nap rather than watch television. You just might feel refreshed enough to go to the library or take a class. And they don't have to be college courses, although those are good...even a community educa...

I would think that looking at a test like that would scare away many potential nurse wannabes!

My daughter (age 11) was playing in the snow for two or three hours yesterday. Last night both her wrists were reddened and warm to the touch, obviously where there had been a gap between her gloves and sleeves, and snow had gotten in. She has been...

Most of our main roads are now plowed here (2 days later), but the secondary roads and parking lots still are not, so it wouldn't be any better living in a condo or apartment. Our driveway is 4000 square feet, and it has taken me 7 hours to shovel 1/...

Thank you all for your responses. She is outside now, having a great time. She will probably never see snow like this again as a child, so I am letting her play in it while she can. I found some mittens that are nearly elbow length, and she has th...

Hey it worked! Here is another of some of my shoveling job. Great exercise! Sorry it is so dark...don't have that digital camera totally figured out. That pile of snow along my driveway is as tall as I am!

Trying to send a pic...

I am loving all this snow and so is my daughter. It is making a beautiful memory. We were pretty well-prepared. I went shopping Saturday and got everything we needed...except the one thing I needed most...toothpaste! We have been getting by wit...

Welcome, Lina Sjoe....what is THC?

Thank you all for your responses. It sounds like "negotiable" is the consensus. It sounds good to me, too, although I would have never thought of it on my own. One more reason to love these boards!

My question is for recruiters or any others who may have an opinion... When filling out an application, what would you consider to be too late of a date for the "date available to work" question? I am planning on attending a recruitment event next we...

Does anyone know of a site where I can get a list of questions to ask to assess depression? (How much sleep do you get, etc.) I need this today for a post-partum visit. TIA. :)

I have always been a night person. (I remember staying up to watch Johnny Carson every night when I was four.) I love working nights, and hope to go back to them some day. As far as your own personality, I think you have to know whether you are a d...

Ditto. Welcome.

John Coxey... You rock!

How long is long? Mine probably falls a few inches past my shoulders, and I consider it long. Sometimes I pull it back into a clip, never a ponytail, and most of the time I wear it down. I guess I am the rebel of the group. My hair does not swee...
