    1MOM2RN replied to Shanny246's topic in General Nursing

  2. All that snow!

    1MOM2RN replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in General Nursing

    1MOM2RN replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in General Nursing

    We hope the roads are plowed, and know how to drive on poorly-plowed roads in case they're not! And several times, I'm stayed overnight at the hospital, in a vacant room, when a huge storm was...

  4. Help! How do you stay awake on drive home after night shift?

    1MOM2RN replied to neetnik461's topic in General Nursing

  5. Missing narcs returned to med cart...sorry long

    1MOM2RN replied to OklaLPN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    1MOM2RN replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally know the correct pronounciation and use of exasperated and exacerbated, but I stumble over it every time (but at least I'm aware I'm doing it! LOL) another one I hear a lot is...

    1MOM2RN replied to MelBel's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. How soon after graduation did you test?

    1MOM2RN replied to Erinfly27's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I tested (and passed) exactly 1 month after graduation. I have read (I think somewhere on allnurses.com - go figure) that studies have shown that those who test within 3 months of graduation have a...
