    Sehille4774 replied to Content11's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Dove has a scholarship award that you can apply for that would cover the cost of your uni's. I think you have to write a letter and get one from a professor. I got mine that way. Those were so...

    Sehille4774 replied to kgress's topic in Private Duty

    Yup, we are always told Never, Never do this. The MAIN rationale I have always been told:...your pt is the one under your license. So how on earth can you give your UN-divided attention to her if...

  5. Hit rock bottom... ruined nursing career... life is a mess right now...

    Sehille4774 replied to NurseCard's topic in Health, Stress Management

  6. Why RNs cannot say 'That's not my job'

    Sehille4774 replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in General Nursing

    Sehille4774 replied to halcyon's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey Peds Nurses, I am a peds nurse now...Have been for about 2 years..I had to learn alot on the job...especially since my cases are specialty home care cases. Many schools now offer minimal...

  11. Structured Training for Pediatric Nurses?

    Sehille4774 replied to Sehille4774's topic in Pediatric

    Ha. Jeanette73, Just a technicality. Since Peds is a specialty anyway..I should have said Hi Tech versus Lo Tech...and all that means is trach and vent versus natural airway. Its funny...because...

    Sehille4774 posted a topic in Home Health

    Sehille4774 replied to FutureRN_NP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First of all. Take a deep breath, or ten, and move on. Don't dwell on it..nothing you can do about it now. Being so stressed out is NOT going to improve your performance any...if anything it would...

    Sehille4774 replied to mcknis's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well....obviously I am no expert on the topic or really even what male nurses have to deal with in the profession...A vague idea, perhaps. They did paint him as a whimpy kinda soft guy I'll give you...

  18. Ben Stiller as Gaylord Fokker

    Sehille4774 replied to mcknis's topic in Men in Nursing

    Really...I felt that movie sold him as a Hero. One of the few male nurse images in the media that I can think of...Wonderful thing for the profession because people believe about us what they see on...

  20. Would You Rather....

    Sehille4774 replied to resumecpr's topic in General Nursing

  21. Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    Sehille4774 replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sehille4774 replied to smurfynursey's topic in Pediatric

    Sehille4774 replied to ustechrn's topic in Health, Stress Management
