    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to prendela's topic in International Nursing

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to BabySweetpea's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to Hybridatomsk's topic in General Nursing

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to eager1hasbegun's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You can find them in the clearance section on Lydias on the internet all the time. So look there first. Although, they run in junior sizes so watch the fit. I can't wear them or I will have coin slot...

  12. Still work in hospital?

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to bbpp's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I agree, but more over here on the West Side. Massachusetts is where I am from, and my experiences there were great. Yeah, there were a few bad apples with bad attitudes, but I got over it, or maybe...

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to jbuz23's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to Poochee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, one of my close friends in a nurse. Well, she just stopped after a decade. She is from Sweden and always tells me you are just too nice. I really am, wondering when my backbone will kick

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to Poochee's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you could say my manager wasn't the best. Plus my recruiter won't even return my phone calls. Anyhow, I am going to do temp nursing, because I don't think I will be able to find a new job...

  18. AM care?

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Do they have showers? Or, maybe they can do the bed bath in between the whirlpool? Yeah, it does stink. Sometimes the showers break and then you are stuck. And sometimes the hot water broke and that...

  19. AM care?

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So they don't force them to do it. At least they can have a choice and not have to request an early morning whirlpool, because they can't get in in the morning. That stinks on patient rights if you...

  20. AM care?

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  24. What besides the obvious do state inspectors look for in LTC?

    st4wb3rr33sh0rtc4k3 replied to kstec's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Okay, lol Introduce yourself. Promote privacy. Knock on the door before you enter. Close the door or curtain, and tell them why you are doing it. Oh please, and the call light within
