I'm so glad I'm not the only one!! I'm 27, not sexually active and I have my FIRST gyno appt next Thursday!! I'm SOOOO nervous!!! I finally did it b/c we brought my mom to the ER a month ago and she was diagnosed with lung cancer... she died two week...

Spider solitaire!!! Just kidding... well, mostly kidding :)

I had a frequent flyer who came to the clinic because of wrist pain.... it was a mosquito bite. Had a teacher send two kids to the clinic b/c they bumped heads... children without any complaints. My favorite... a kid who came to the clinic b/c every...

School nursing all the way!!!!!!! Pay stinks tho...

I had a kid come in yesterday c/o itchy eye that started last night. I said, "What did your mom say?" "Oh, she told me to go to the clinic and have you look at it to see if it was pink eye..." Great...

Don't do it!!!!! You have an awesome job!!!!! :) Sorry... I'm just jealous!!

Congrats!! Where I work, the kids can only miss ONE letter and still pass. If they miss two they move up to the next line.

I accepted a position today to be a new school nurse!!! I'm so excited!! The only little catch was the huge pay cut I had to take. I thought I would be enjoying summer's off, but I will probably have to work to make up the difference. It is my dream ...

I gained 10lbs when I started my QA job. I just sit in front of the computer and snack. I hope starting my school nursing job will help me lose a few lbs. I'll have more time to exercise and won't be sitting down as much... at least I don't think I w...

Hey Jlsrn!! I just got a school nurse job too!! I start the day after labor day. I'm so excited about the position (and, of course, the summer's off). Pay was a major issue with me though, I'm pretty sure I'll have to do something on the side to make...

What did you decide to do Praiser?? I just signed on to be a Middle School nurse... I hope it turns out ok!!! I would hate to regret it. Now that I think about it, they are trying to staff this school first...I guess now I know why....

*YAY*!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you. You will be great!!!! I'm having second thoughts about accepting my position. I will take a $12,000/yr pay cut. My family thinks I'm absolutely CRAZY. And I'm starting to wonder if I am too. I'm single, no kids. I...

You will do fine dear!!! Say a prayer, take a deep breath, and enjoy your time as a student. This is the fun stuff!!!! You may find out what kind of nurse you want to be. Psych was my favorite, that's when I knew that I did the right thing going to n...

Thanks so much!!! I'm in Louisiana and they actually have quite a few positions open. I'm guessing it's because of the pay. You would probably die if you knew how much I'm actually making!! It's actually about the same "per hour" as what I'm making n...

I failed my first time too... then decided it would be worth the money for the Hurst review. Should've done it the first time!!! You'll do fine!! :)

I took it and LOVED it. I would recommed it to anybody!! Good luck!!

Hi I have an interview on Friday for a school nursing position!! I'm so excited!! But I'm very nervous as well. I have only minimal med/surg experience and 2 years of psych experience. I have a feeling I'll really need to "put myself out there" for t...

I've been waiting on pins and needles too!! I asked my crush out last weekend, he agreed, and then we went out to lunch on Sunday. But haven't heard from him since. Stupid boys....

Day shift will probably give you more experience and it will probably be more exciting. I've only done a few shifts at night and they were pretty boring, but from what I hear, they can get hectic too. Good luck!!

Yes, it sounds about right. It can be very boring and tedious. I think I've gained 10lbs since I started my QA position. I miss the patients, but I don't miss the actual work. Good luck!! Keep us posted.

Sorry.. A little off topic, but this reminded me of the time I used Nair on my upper lip. I must've left it on a little too long b/c when I wiped it off, it took some of the skin off with it. I had a red mustache and a chemical burn for about a week....

I'm an RN and right now I'm working in an office...and do not see pts. After reading this thread I volunteered at the local hospital to be a "cuddler". I'm so excited!!! I knew I never wanted to "work" with babies, but this seems safe. :)

I had a psych pt call me "Beautiful nurse"... I was quite flattered until a few minutes later she called me a "hussy". Oh well.. you win some, you lose some.

I would own a quaint little bookstore with a little coffee shop in it. And maybe give free bp screenings!! :smilecoffeeIlovecof

It seemed like this happened in slow motion for me. We let our outpt psych pts go outside for a few mins when I saw my elderly gentleman roll his wheelchair off the cement and into the grass. I tried so hard to get to him before he tumbled over and l...
