  1. Stressed, Confused, Anxious

    kakamegamama replied to hi_hello29's topic in General Nursing

    OP--what could your professors have done differently? What could you do differently? How can you make it easier for the school to obtain the documents you need to take NCLEX? Be proactive instead of...

  3. Eligible for rehire?

    kakamegamama replied to setsuna92's topic in Nursing Career

  5. Trusting God In Nursing School

    kakamegamama replied to SimpleeBee's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Whatever you desire to do. No battle on my part. Part of religious enmity/argument is not listening nor having discourse. We can all learn from one another. Perhaps minds and hearts will not change,...

  6. Concern

    kakamegamama replied to FengYan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OP--there is a nurses in recovery forum on this board, and I imagine they would be a great resource for you. Congrats on recognizing your need to get help. Hang in there! The BON of your state should...

  7. Trusting God In Nursing School

    kakamegamama replied to SimpleeBee's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Perhaps I've misread the OP's post as I haven't seen any proselytizing in her post. I'm not trying to argue about a true Christian, simply stating my perspective. And, yes I am a Christian. But, you...

  8. Trusting God In Nursing School

    kakamegamama replied to SimpleeBee's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Just curious as to your background. You sound very angry at Christians, and lumping all of them together into a negative stereotype. That would be like a Christian lumping all who are not Christians...

    kakamegamama replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in General Nursing

  13. I don't want to go back to school

    kakamegamama replied to BSN16's topic in General Nursing

    I applaud you for being comfortable where you are. But, I have a comment/question for you and a few others.....I am a nurse. I am also an Advanced NURSE Practitioner. What, exactly, do you think an...

  14. Will marijuana ever be okay in nursing?

    kakamegamama replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    And, evidence to support your statement that weed does not open a chance for addiction? In refereed journals? And, would you want to work alongside/after/be a patient of a nurse whose last joint of...

  15. Nurse week, scavenger hunt

    kakamegamama replied to Dskipp's topic in General Nursing

    OP---goodness! You've been blasted, haven't you! Anyway---it really isn't a good idea. Listen to the nurses who responded, and if your hospital admin is truly interested in honoring the nurses, then...

  16. My client's Christian parents figure out that I'm Christian

    kakamegamama replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Unless it's NIV.....

  17. International field trip

    kakamegamama replied to Josie2936's topic in General Nursing

    Unless the school has a dress code for you, go comfortable with good shoes. Watch the weather reports and pack accordingly, but pack light. If you need to take any medical supplies, remember to look...

  18. Mission Trips

    kakamegamama replied to conway13's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! You said what I wanted to, but wrangling 2 very active little grandboys made a short post necessary! I've seen first hand the negative impact we can have on other people groups, even while...

  19. Mission Trips

    kakamegamama replied to conway13's topic in General Nursing

    Mercy Ships is a great organization. I have a friend who has gone on 2 week ventures with them once they are in port, so a shorter than 3 months should be

  21. Mission Trips

    kakamegamama replied to conway13's topic in General Nursing

    You might check GoBGR's website and see if they have any that you would be interested in. I've not traveled with them except for post Nepal earthquake work, but they are a good organization. While I...

  22. want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

    kakamegamama replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

    What do you see yourself doing as a NP in the OR? I've never heard of an Advanced Practice RN other than a CRNA in the OR, but others can enlighten me if ANPs other than CRNAs work there. Back to my...

  25. Essential Oil Overkill

    kakamegamama replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    No no no no no! This reeks (sorry, I couldn't resist) of a bad thing in the making. As one who has very severe allergies, I would not survive. I cannot even begin to imagine what effect this might...
