    mybrowneyedgirl replied to jchan0425's topic in General Students

    I chose #4 because after that type of surgery 3/10 is probably expected. The goal's is not to completely eliminate the discomfort, but to minimize it. All out vital signs are in the normal range....

  3. Nurse Techs / Nurse Externs. What do you think of your new job?

    mybrowneyedgirl posted a topic in General Students

    I'm interested in hearing how everyone feels about this new experience. For me, it's been a bit crazy at the start, but I am so grateful for the experience. It will make clinicals next semester that...

    mybrowneyedgirl replied to Ellean55's topic in General Students

    Pro: Having had a child, I can handle the "gross stuff" with ease. Con: Having a child makes it more difficult to find study time for myself and my child. I have to juggle my own schedule and his....

    mybrowneyedgirl replied to hfmf's topic in Michigan Nursing

  8. Question to those getting Associates in Nursing

    mybrowneyedgirl replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

  10. Students with children

    mybrowneyedgirl replied to Jennifer7076's topic in General Students

  11. Best white shoes for clinicals?

    mybrowneyedgirl replied to Lisa621's topic in Michigan Nursing

  13. Need advice and to vent

    mybrowneyedgirl replied to Hazel11's topic in General Students

    It can be hard, but I think the best thing to do is let it roll of your back. You can't change people, and it will be no fun teasing you if you don't react. They'll just move on to the next person....

    mybrowneyedgirl replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Students
