  1. Zoloft...Any Personal or Professional Advice?

    I wasn't on Zoloft, but was on Paxil for a while. I didn't gain any weight, but like Jen I had sexual side effects which I couldn't tolerate. That and palpitations and muscle twitches. Oh, and going...
  2. Scheduling question

    I'm trying to figure something out here. I'll be graduating in December and starting out as a new grad next January. How hard is it in general to request a certain day off each week? Is this basically...
  3. How soon you will opt for a desk job???

  4. How do you pick your clinical assignment?

    Wow, that would peeve me. At my school you wake up at 6 am on registration day and try and get your first choice--you know the site, the days and times, and sometimes the instructor. However, since...
  5. Scheduling question

    That's what I was thinking Ruby. I could offer to work the Sunday night shift to make up for it. I may call the manager where I'm currently working as a student nurse/tech (and where I want to work...

  7. Denver Area Relocation - Nice Areas and RN Pay

  8. my baby sister has breast cancer

    Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear the news. I know what it's like to have sister with cancer, although mine was older than me. It was the hardest thing ever for all of us to go through. I'll keep you and...

  11. Accelerated BSN at UMB

    Hey Caroline, Good luck on your application. I'm in the accelerated program there right now. I was also concerned about money because I'm a homeowner, I live alone, and I have 3 cats and a dog...I...
  12. nursing school yes or no

    If it's your dream, then do it! Religion has nothing to do with nursing. At least not for me. Not any more than religion had anything to do with my decision to work with computers (something I did for...
  13. Shock Trauma hiring?

    Hey, we Marylanders are here, just may not be able to help you out. One of the graduate students at my school, who is also a TA for our simulation labs, works there. If I see her I will ask if they...
