I was on Lexapro for a year. It did wonders for me and I am back to my normal happy self now that I am off it too! The only side-effect that I did have was that my libido decreased dramatcially. But it is back to normal now.

Sheer brilliance! I absolutely agree that we would learn much more from case studies than trying to memorize a load of mumbo-jumbo. Let's face it, if you understand the concept you will understand how to put it into practise!

Good for you, girlfriend! Believe me, it is good to have something that excites you aside from nursing. My love is yoga......... I couldn't live without it. After the stress of school and nursing, it is wonderful to be able to lose yourself in someth...

I absolutely agree with you. Something smart, yet unstarched. I think scrubs can look too scruffy at times. Sorry, but some people don't take enough care of their appearance, and scrubs don't enhance that. I am not saying that we are all tatty-lookin...

Wow! You know this just goes to prove how differently we are all raised. I was always taught to shower/wash EVERY day....... full body wash in the morning and at least face and hands at night. Now I'm "grown-up" I am a clean-freak and need to shower/...

Very eloquently put, Rita. I consider myself Neo-Buddhist, but I have nothing but respect for all religions. I have wonderful friends who send me emails worshipping God and Jesus, and I love to read them, because they convey how I feel about my spiri...

oh my goodness! i am taking one step at a time! adn first and then i'll see. i'm 31 and am just finishing up my 2nd semester which is a bear! i just want to make it through the next year, work and get some experience on the floor, and then i'll see!

I know time is precious, but I prefer to do my own vitals. It doesn't take long after all! :)

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've got them in every class, girl! I know it can be annoying, but just suck it up and concentrate on you. You don't have time to be wasting your energy on others that get up your nose.

Wow! Excellent! Thank you for the mind stimulation. I am so glad the man is ok!

I would definitely keep a close eye. What can it hurt? Better to be safe than sorry, particularly if the patient is unable to answer for himself right now. He is, after all, the number one priority here, and he tried to commit suicide......... I woul...

Hang in there, girl! Not long now. The way you are feeling is TOTALLY normal............... and I feel your pain! I feel that way right now and I still have one year to go! You will make it and you will be just fine. Make plans with you fiance and d...

Oh my goodness........... how sad! I am so sorry. I am sending you a big hug. :kiss

Thank you all SO much!! I am passing all these tips on to her! She is ready to try anything! God bless you all! Hugz!

Hey guys, I need some advice from some ladies or gents who might be able to guide me here. I have a friend who is 3 months pregnant. She is 41 years old and is terribly sick all the time. Apparently, this sickness is a trait in her family. Her sister...

:chuckle I don't think people mean to say hurtful or dumb things.......... they just don't think before opening their mouths! I don't worry too much about what other people say. Those that I love and care about, are forever saying to me, "I have the...

I'm so sorry, Tom! It could happen to any of us......... and it wasn't your fault! Sending you lots of prayers and good wishes. Thank god for your lovely sense of humour! Get fruity flavoured ones................ YUM!:chuckle

Hi Amy, I used to be a professional dancer for 11 years. Obviously, that is not a lifetime career, yet I could NEVER see myself settling in an office! I am far too active. I've always been the nurturing type and nursing was always something I had dre...

Hi Cathy, I understand your concerns, I really do, and so I am going to answer your question. No, I would not mind being treated by a transgender nurse, nor a gay nurse, nor black, yellow, white, pink with blue dots and a huge mole coming out their ...

How exciting! I can't wait to do that in my 2nd year! I'm so thrilled for you! I always love my clinicals............ I hate the classroom stuff, even though I know it's necessary. Clinicals and volunteer work help me to remember why I want to becom...

Great article! Thanx!

As nurses we are taught to be ethically and legally correct. We may empathize terribly with our clients, however, we are not God, nor should we ever cross that line. I read in the Orlando Sentinel today that this nurse was "not too tightly wrapped" a...

Hi! I'm an international student nurse, from Great Britain, studying in the USA. I have been very lucky so far in the fact that I have worked my butt off to get high grades and have therefore been awarded scholarships to help me pay my college fees...

As we say in the UK, cover your arse, Julie. You do NOT need to get in trouble for this. Your husband is absolutely right, and you should keep a note of everything that goes on. Is there someone you can talk to at work? I know you don't want to be a...
