  1. Long-Term Care & The Newly Graduated LPN

    Cherybaby replied to Boston7's topic in General Nursing

    I think you covered it

  2. Question about physical and mental form

    Cherybaby replied to Tonyapate's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious...why would you advise them to say no? I have bipolar disorder, disclosed it on my application and there have been no ramifications from it. Not questioning you, of course...I'm sure...

  3. Question about physical and mental form

    Cherybaby replied to Tonyapate's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot put "no" on your record if you are bipolar. That is lying to the board and they have a real issue with people being dishonest on your application. You need to put yes and have an...

  4. National Petition to Change N-CLEX Exam Process

    Cherybaby replied to caravacaa1's topic in General Nursing

    I have to respectfully disagree. I do not think the NCLEX consists of tricks. What I have found is that if you are unable to think critically and prioritize, you will have trouble on this exam....

  5. My Son's Graduation

    Cherybaby replied to Magsulfate's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Cherybaby replied to jigzawnurse28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Personally, I didn't work during nursing school. But, I also had a family to look after as well. I invested 2-3 hours a night on homework and studying. It was hard to cram all that in and work as...

    Cherybaby replied to Cherybaby's topic in Nurses Recovery

  8. Nursing Instructor from hell

    Cherybaby replied to MsLEE2121's topic in General Nursing

    "I think you should mind your own business and keep your opinions to yourself. Have you not learned anything about assessment and observations?" Wow. Obviously someone skipped empathy

  9. No return call from nurse manager, should I keep calling?

    Cherybaby replied to ARRR10's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. Guilt about using sick time

    Cherybaby replied to ffweste's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. You lay on that couch and heal. Don't feel guilty about taking the time off. What kind of nurse would you be if you walked into work impaired and accidentally harmed a patient? What about...

  11. Nursing Instructor from hell

    Cherybaby replied to MsLEE2121's topic in General Nursing

    Advice, especially when solicited, is a beautiful thing. Helps us to gain perspective and clarity where we may not see it for ourselves. The greatest thing about advice? It is always ultimately...

  12. Disqualification for Schizophrenia

    Cherybaby replied to nursedreams11's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  14. IPN vs. BON?

    Cherybaby replied to Cherybaby's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They didn't order me to do that. I really need to stress that. They told me that I could not be on xanax any longer. They told me I would drug screen as soon as this week. With that...

  15. Do Nurses in Recovery get hired for....

    Cherybaby replied to 2fast4uRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow! You are really fortunate! I hope I end up as such! Good for

  16. IPN vs. BON?

    Cherybaby replied to Cherybaby's topic in Nurses Recovery

    She didn't advise me to stop taking it immediately. However, they let me know that they would be drug testing me for it as early as this same week. So, taking that into consideration...if I don't...

  17. Are nurses treated as terribly as people imply?

    Cherybaby replied to kprince's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not a job for the thin skinned, that's for sure. Having said that, you meet some amazing people along the way. I adore my patients...even the surly ones. I always learn something from my...

  18. Dating Coworkers??

    Cherybaby replied to SweetLemon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  19. Do most jobs send a rejection letter after interview or just ignore you if you

    Cherybaby replied to rainbowbright2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about the walk through thing. I have been taken around a building before and have not gotten the job. I never received a letter of rejection before either. I generally just get no...

    Cherybaby replied to Cherybaby's topic in Nurses Recovery

  21. Being a bi-polar nurse~what's it like?

    Cherybaby replied to MsEnfermera's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    With regard to not having to let your employer know about your issues...I have a question. In my experience, I have had to give my employer a list of medications that I am taking. Any nurse with a...

  22. Nurse Suffering from PTSD

    Cherybaby replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am so sorry this has happened to you. I know what it is like. I can't answer your exact question about being hospitalized for PTSD. I can only give you my experience. I have bipolar disorder,...

  23. Why is nursing like this?

    Cherybaby replied to shine123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "What this means to nurses is that we have to become comfortable with being UNcomfortable. We will always be just a little off-balance, because nursing deals with human beings and human beings are...

  24. Are HIPAA forms always required in a medical office?

    Cherybaby replied to preciousbaby621's topic in General Nursing

    Can't speak for your state but here in Florida, it is state law that every patient sign off on a HIPAA form stating they have knowledge of their rights. Wanna be smart? Get yourself a copy of...
