  1. Am I stupid for not getting a job til i pass NCLEX????

    tachybradyRN replied to Cutebutpsycho1022's topic in First Year After Licensure

  8. Crazy Weight Gain? or not?

    tachybradyRN replied to NurseHotFlash's topic in General Students

    tachybradyRN replied to soon2bRN516's topic in First Year After Licensure

    tachybradyRN replied to austin9104's topic in General Nursing

    My mom, an RN, swears by Dove Cream Oil Lotion (at home, of course, not at work because it is petro based). I don't find it makes a difference for me.. my hands are still quite dry and cracking....
