  1. Should I quit Nursing School???

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to sns501's topic in General Nursing

    Just re-read my post and I'm sorry that I didn't seem supportive. I should have asked you if there are any positives or things that you really like! You need to weight the pro's and con's before you...

  2. Should I quit Nursing School???

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to sns501's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you've already answered your own question. I didn't see one positive thought about nursing school in the

  3. Appears nurse is diverting narcs

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is so frightening to me. I agree with the previous posters. Don't be afraid to report your concerns. Even if there is no proof, if she is caught at a later date, your conscious will feel...

  5. To All Nurses....

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to NurseWannabe1129's topic in General Nursing

    And thanks to all for you compliments and sharing your experiences! It's so neat to hear everyone's "firsts" stories. My grandmother's first was a 100 year old man. She had to mix metamucil for him...

  6. To All Nurses....

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to NurseWannabe1129's topic in General Nursing

    I felt exactly that way all week too! The best way I helped myself was to remind myself how I felt my first day as a bartender.. (Stupid and a wreck..) Or my first day as a waitress.. (I have no idea...

  8. Flunk! Kerplunk!

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to MagnesiuM's topic in General Students

    It's really hard when you don't think you're doing anything right! I felt the exact same way today when trying my first nursing skills for the first time. The instructors make it look so easy and I...

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to thatsforreal's topic in General Students

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow I wasn't aware that hospitals would have a policy stating that you can't come to work if you have cold sores. I get them every so often. (about once a month!) Do most hospitals have this...

  12. Drug testing?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Speeding is illegal as well. Guess you never ever speed because you are just the most law abiding citizen out there? If it wasn't for people who stood up to our government, then we would be overrun...

  14. Discharging a patient...to the streets

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to ChocoholicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had an experience similar to that. I was outside a Domino's and this homeless woman asked me for money for something to eat. I told her I had no money but offered her my breadsticks. (The only...

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

  16. Nightmares about work?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    Wow.. It's nice to see what I have to look forward to! I'm pretty much my boss's go-to-girl at work and I already have dreams about waiting stupid tables and pouring people their stupid beers....

  17. Rotating shifts and a dog?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to Suesabelle's topic in General Nursing

    Dogs take a lot of effort. If you want a loving pet, I'd go for a cat instead. Give them a litter box, a toy, put some food and water in a dish and they are good to go for the day. Not to mention,...

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to chichimitchi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 23 years old also. While I'm not a nurse yet, I have a crazy work schedule since we are short handed. On my days off, I go to concerts, kayak, read, read, read, read, go on allnurses.com , go...

  21. Shortage of instructors = waiting?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to fUsi0n86's topic in General Nursing

    I recall hearing from someone that Jersey law mandates that there is a 10:1 ratio students to professors. And the professors must have a BSN or above. Don't know if it's like that in other states....

  22. The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad my father taught me what work ethic is. And, when I do become a new nurse, I will apply the same hardworking ethic that I have carried with me throughout
