If your facility went back to white uniforms for licensed nursing personnel, would you quit? Just wondering as I've heard discussions about some facilities going back to all white for nursing staff.

What's the most surprising/shocking/interesting CC/presentation/wound/injury/whatever you've seen at work (without violating HIPAA). Let's try to keep it real and not write a book per comment.

Not much on the telly tonight, so I ended up watching "My 600 lb. Life" --- the show where folks go to Houston for bariatric surgery… some successful, some not so much. After watching a couple episodes, I'm left with some mixed feelings. Is super...

The point of your post is what? If you've decided, great. Move on. Go get your PhD. Teach, research, whatever. If you want to be talked into nursing, forget it.

London Hospital: I found it on iTunes, but go on youtube and all the other streaming services. You never know. Sometimes you can find free episodes. Call The Midwife: Just started a new season on PBS. I like it very much though many an episode...

So, you're NOT pregnant, but are planning a pregnancy to coincide with school???

I was going to ask that too (BDN), but see that's been answered.

Good luck with that holier than thou "I'm the only honest nurse" thing. You are young, new, fresh & still have the "I'm going to light the world on fire" new nurse attitude. That'll burn off soon enough. Not being mean or nasty, that's being ...

Do you have any prerequisites done yet? Or are you starting from the beginning? Just curious…

Re; Cheerleaders & athletes. I don't think their being told it's ok. I don't think it's being discussed. As more adults are obese and it's accepted, I think the issue is just not being addressed unfortunately.

Yes, I think anytime you are brave enough or foolish enough to say, "that's not my job" (out loud) in this job climate (unless they are asking you to break the law or put yourself at physical risk), you may find yourself: a) working in that capacity...

If you renewed on online, why would get paperwork back? Isn't online (paperless) the whole point?

Where are you in North Texas? (you can PM me if you want) Are you hard over on doing it online mostly?

CONGRATS!!!

Mae, Wow, you've sure been through it. Hugs to you! I'm sure your mom is proud of you! It's so exciting you are getting to start school and will finally realize your dream. We're here for you.

Thanks for sharing. I'm eating more veggies.

Most "network" shows are crap. Nurses are portrayed as bimbos that are bedding every guy they see in every episode. Disgusting. They are all young, perky, have stringy hair, fake boobs & pouty lips. Pathetic caricatures. Cannot tolerate any ...

@ICUman: LOVE that avatar!!

I have more than one, but one that comes to mind is an older female that came in with a raging yeast infection she'd had for "about" TWO YEARS.

Oh please! I just can't go through this again. Unreal. Mostly folks who are chronically late are rude & thoughtless.

Uh, yeh, kinda. I didn't feel this way after "one of those days" during clinicals. Gloves and hand sanitizer didn't help that much... I was assigned one of those patients that the floor nurses are thrilled to unload on a student. You know, a test,...

It's another joke post! Hilarious. Where's the hidden camera?

Stay in touch with the doctor you like. You never know what could open up. Be positive, smile and look at the new position as an opportunity to grow.

You're not made to work as an aide. It's your choice. You can quit any time. There are probably lots of folks lined up waiting for your job. Welcome to the real world. The concept you are now beginning to embrace is total patient care: it's do...

These are awesome! Thanks for posting, Brandon.
