    You should know better

    My biggest is Coke - up to 3 or 4 a day, ice cold. The colder, the better. My cardiologist does not like it, but gotta have something. Anne, RNC

    You should know better

    I avoided the dentist for a long time- but found one here that's awesome - and she's a dog lover top, so we get along really well. The Gyno?? Cobwebs plus some. I haven't been in almost 10 years...

    Working on Expired License for 5 Weeks

    I think the person here that went 8 weeks before noticing only had to pay $250 and the CEs she had to do for the board were maybe 5 or 10 hours. Anne, RNC

    Flaring Up

    Hi heather! I'm sorry u are feeling so bad! I was diagnosed with fibro after having a CVA 7 years ago - wouldn't wish this on anyone! It's crazy that so much of the time that even the meds we need to take for 1 problem cause a flare. Praying th...

    Working on Expired License for 5 Weeks

    Hi! I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! Please don't be too hard on yourself! You made a mistake - Not sure how hard your state's BON will be but this actually happened to a coworker of mine quite a few years ago. Hers had lapsed for 8 weeks ...

    Stuck with dirty needle by fellow Nurse!

    That is CRAZY! I really hope the stick was an accident but either way, crap! If it was an accident and she's saying it wasn't, she's a moron. If it was on purpose and she's going around talking about that fact, there's no way she needs to be nursin...

    I don't know if it was worth becoming a nurse

    Hi! Thankfully, yes. I was terrified to apply to another med surg unit but I took a job at a different hospital a little closer to home. That facility was awesome, and I worked that med surg unit for over 9 years and quit because I was getting mar...

    Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    Oh yes! Two of the craziest lately to me were the "camming" and the "why can't I use the user name Nurse JohnDoe if I'm in nsg school" 🌝

    Cheating

    I thought there were online study guides and practice questions - I'm just asking because it was SO long ago since I was in nsg school - I thought that kind of study materials were out there like Nclex manuals and practice questions. Anne, RNC

    disappointed with job offer

    This! I know it's so very hard but try your best to hang in there until u can transfer - you've already done 8 months, and you can start looking for that spot u want very soon - I would start looking and planning what or where you would like to trans...

    I don't know if it was worth becoming a nurse

    Something similar happened to me too - with me it was a crazy unit I worked at our local teaching hospital. I worked 5 months before I left - just couldn't take it another day. I cried in the parking lot almost every am before work and then again on...
