  15. Nurse or Biologist?

    Penelope_Pitstop replied to pineapplepie's topic in Nursing Career

    Getting a BSN does not = job security. Nursing is a great career but not for everyone. I have a friend who works at the CDC in the lab, and another who works for the Medical Examiner...they both adore...

    Penelope_Pitstop replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked up his license? I know I wouldn't be able to NOT do that. In cases of suspected diversion in my state, a lot of times an emergency suspension is declared and that shows up immediately...

  17. My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

    Penelope_Pitstop replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Nah. He has absolutely no personality. I once gave a presentation at 3 AM to the night nursing staff on how he fit all the criteria for a sociopath. He's a manager himself now. And I'm certain he's...

    Penelope_Pitstop replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Penelope_Pitstop replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    There's a patient who comes to my clinic who paints her eyebrows on based on her mood. Good thing, because she's a regular Katie

  23. My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

    Penelope_Pitstop replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. The weirdest part is that I sorta dated her husband a few years before she even met him... As far as her nursing career goes, I don't care. She is careful about details. I just figured her out...

    Penelope_Pitstop replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing
