  1. This is what happens when politics wins over nurses

    Cherybaby replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    You still CAN do something about it. It's not too late. Instead of just deciding to get out of Florida, become proactive and rally against it. You can write letters, make calls, arrange...

  2. This is what happens when politics wins over nurses

    Cherybaby replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    In all honesty, I don't know about nurses being in an uproar. Most that I have spoken to about this really don't seem to care much. However, talk to nursing STUDENTS and boy oh boy, does that ever...

  3. What is per diem?

    Cherybaby replied to TiffanyLovesPink's topic in General Nursing

    per diem literally translates to "very day" (which makes no sense really) :) It's a day by day job. You get called in as needed and you are generally the first to be asked to leave when census is...

  4. Pregnancy Denial-- a real psychological disorder?

    Cherybaby replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Don't know about pregnancy denial necessarily, but there is a fascinating show on the Discovery Channel called "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant". So many of these women had all the s/s of being...

  5. Why did I go to school to be a nurse?

    Cherybaby replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    I think I am lucky to have always had the support of the docs I work with. It goes a long way. Can't tell you how to manage with administration, but I do know that when a family member goes on a...

  7. HELP!!! I think I have a couple of swollen lymph node!

    Cherybaby replied to Peeker19's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really think we are supposed to give medical advice on this board...so I am going to err on the side of caution. Go see your doctor. It's obviously not normal. I don't see how a sty on your...

  8. Medical Assistant soon to be LPN

    Cherybaby replied to meandrog02's topic in General Nursing

    I was an MA for 7 years before going to LPN school. I thought I would have some great advantage because of it. Newsflash? You don't! :) It's a completely different world. I chose to do my LPN...

  9. Need assessment help!

    Cherybaby replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    No shame in writing everything down as you go. Definately carry a notepad with you. Keep a cheat sheet with lab values, normal parameters and common drug specifics. Remember to prioritize. If you...

  10. What I wish I had known...

    Cherybaby replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    What I have learned is that doctors do not know everything. Sure, they know a lot when it comes to diagnostics but about healing and care? Not much. Like every mother knows her own child better...

  11. Everyone has a 4.0 GPA!!

    Cherybaby replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    Stating that if you didn't have to work full time you too would have a 4.0 just smacks of resentment. Everyone has their issues while in nursing school. I was going through a very acrimonious...

  12. Everyone has a 4.0 GPA!!

    Cherybaby replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your fears and your concerns. Truly I do. However, you are making yourself sound superior to this student and it is unfounded. She is obviously doing SOMETHING right to have gotten...

  13. New Grad LPN causing problems

    Cherybaby replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    i agree with most of this post...except for what i put in larger font. (bold didn't work! :))the nurse is not going to be the only one to "suffer for her own mistakes". the patients will suffer in...

  14. When did you know what specialty you wanted?

    Cherybaby replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Nursing

    I was absolutely, positively fixated with ER. That is all I was going to do. Nothing else. Until I got into a surgery rotation during clinicals. Ortho. I LOVED IT from the moment I saw it....

  15. Interstitial Cystitis, Fibromyalgia, Pelvic Congestion Oh My

    Cherybaby replied to RN0520's topic in Emergency

    I have IC. It's like walking around with a permanent urinary tract infection...times ten! It's horrible. I have been on Elmiron for awhile...but eventually, it stopped working. I started on a...

  16. its about money

    Cherybaby replied to cheng1988's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about the "nursing shortage everywhere" statement. I think it is really relative to where you are located. There was a thread recently on nursing shortages. To read it, you would think...

  17. I was just laid off

    Cherybaby replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only reason you got laid off is so you could take a small break before you start that new job that you are going to get! See how nicely I put that in perspective? Chin up, Sue. Better things are...

  18. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Cherybaby replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    WOW! If it weren't for HIPAA, I would suggest you write a book! That's

  19. Are drug addiction and alcoholism disabilities?

    Cherybaby replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know about WAY easier, but you can get on disability for certain mental illnesses as long as you have a LOT of documentation. You show hospitalizations, work history and how your disease...

  20. Becoming a nurse with priors.

    Cherybaby replied to its1mc's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  21. Becoming a nurse with priors.

    Cherybaby replied to its1mc's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Gotta interject here. Don't know about other states but here in Florida, they allowed me to sit for boards despite the fact that I had a felonious assault on my record (NY state). The assault was in...

  22. Nurses Please Advise

    Cherybaby replied to msdetermined's topic in General Nursing

    Really??? Man. I wish I had YOUR judge My charge is sticking with me like a bad tattoo! Good luck in your pursuit! Kick butt!

  23. Nurses Please Advise

    Cherybaby replied to msdetermined's topic in General Nursing

    This post is probably going to get moved to a Nurse with Criminal History forum. You need to try to contact your BON. Someone has to be able to give you that answer. Curious about something...

  24. Medical privacy violator gets 1 year- what do you think?

    Cherybaby replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    I definately feel some jail time is in order...but I think a year is excessive. 6 months would be more fair IMO. And of course, she should have to make civil restitution to the family of the

  25. Do you love nursing or hate it???

    Cherybaby replied to ysin's topic in General Nursing

    I started my post college career in law...working as a paralegal while getting set to go to law school. Well, law school never panned out due to finances so I stayed a paralegal. Have to say that...
