    TazziRN replied to isadoragag's topic in General Nursing

    TazziRN replied to jessi1106's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, nononononono........no one has the right to say something doesn't hurt that bad until they've been through it themselves. And even then, everyone feels pain differently. I will never forget an...

    Talking Dirty

    TazziRN replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

    Women are used to talking with other women about such things, just as many men are used to talking with their men friends about it. The problem arises when the sexes are mixed, as in your case....

    Is There An "err-free" Rn?

    TazziRN replied to gennifergen's topic in General Nursing

    It took so long because she was low on the priority list of infractions. It could also be because the complaint was not made right away. That's what happened to me. The infraction that I was...

    Please tell me I don't have a latex allergy...

    TazziRN replied to Lemur's topic in General Nursing

    Let your instructor know and s/he can take steps to determine what the reaction is to. If it is the latex gloves then the hospital has to provide latex-free gloves. This should not be an issue since...

    Have you ever been a patient?

    TazziRN replied to jessi1106's topic in General Nursing

    Twice as a child, but I wasn't ill. I lived in Korea where my dad was stationed with the army, and I was airlifted to San Francisco twice to be fitted for hearing aids. As an adult I've been...

    TazziRN replied to benjaminlox's topic in General Nursing

    There are fewer specialty units hiring new grads than 20 years ago when I started, but there are still quite a few that do that. Make sure you get at least an 8-12 week preceptorship, not a short...

    Having a hard time with work and TPAPN...Help!!!

    TazziRN replied to OSoStressed's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In CA the way they're treating you would be tantamount to harrassment. Have you thought about contacting a labor board rep to see what your rights

    I need insight

    TazziRN replied to mason'smom's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on how your facility has it set up. They will probably deduct it from your pay each month until it's paid off, but it should be reasonable. Loans like that are usually low interest, so it's...

    about background checks

    TazziRN replied to asil30's topic in General Nursing

    It's different with each state and each school. We can't give advice like that here, it's against the TOS.

    TazziRN replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

    It gets better but you have to learn how to pace yourself and change your circadian rhythm. Make your room as dark as you can, and turn the phones off. Wear earplugs if you have to. When I worked...

    May accept home health position..

    TazziRN replied to nl2005's topic in General Nursing

    You'll lose certain skills, or rather you'll become rusty, but you learn so many other skills. It's a challenge teaching a family member how to manage a CADD pump, or other IV pump. In the hospital...

    better to be an rn or an lpn?

    TazziRN replied to jenn-jenn's topic in General Nursing

    It's not what we think is best for you, it's what you think is best. For some it's better to be an LVN because that is what they want. It's an individual
