    graceomalleyRN replied to Mommyof2RN's topic in General Nursing

  5. I HATE nursing! (any suggestions)

    graceomalleyRN replied to Nursinghaze's topic in General Nursing

  8. KC Nursing schools?

    graceomalleyRN replied to Butterfly29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends: are you looking to get a Bachelor's (BSN) or an Associate's (ADN) degree? The schools you mentioned are much more expensive than going the state school or community college route. Then...

  9. Help!Big Job Decision!!!

    graceomalleyRN replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts: 1) Life is too short to spend 2 hours a day in commute unless you have no choice 2) Gas prices are high, and they will likely go higher. 3) Wear and tear on your vehicle -- you'll need to...

  16. I have never been nasty to a student until now!!!

    graceomalleyRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a (hopeful) nursing student starting this fall, I do not think you were in the LEAST "nasty." If the student had an impending emergency, he should have informed you at the beginning of the shift...

  17. Should every new grad nurse start out on the Med/Surg floor?

  20. Movie: "The Business of Being Born."

    graceomalleyRN replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I come from a long line of nurses and doctors, and I can't believe this new "customer service/hotel/beauty salon" approach that, inexplicably, hospital administrations seem to be fostering these days....

  21. Movie: "The Business of Being Born."

    graceomalleyRN replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm glad they bring up the pitocin issue. This is very disturbing to me and I think the public should be aware of this practice. What I bothers me is the misleading "fact" that we have the second...
