    Can you talk some sense into me?

    xoemmylouox replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the job. You are going to need a bedside job before you know it so take it while you have a

    xoemmylouox replied to jjohnsonga's topic in Excelsior College

    My suggestion is to do a search on Allnurses for this topic. You will find a lot of helpful information that will save you $$$ in the

    Opinions on leaving hospital nursing for private practice?

    xoemmylouox replied to JLB1215's topic in General Nursing

    You do what's best for you. I hate to be the one to say this, but IF some complication should occur during your pregnancy, could you still work in that setting

    Calling in sick, boss harassing me.

    xoemmylouox replied to swweetipie's topic in General Nursing

    I would review your employee handbook. It could be that you need to start the fun FMLA process. Typically you can contact HR about this directly. I hope you have a quick

    Glove use

    xoemmylouox replied to Hopeful1003's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Try to find a phone triage position. Many clinics hire nurses for this role. It can get boring sometimes, but your patient exposure will be

    Pay off loans, NP school, or specialty certificate?

    xoemmylouox replied to RunawayN's topic in General Nursing

    If I was spending someone else's money I'd get the lotto's. If it was my own, pay off

    Have you met your husband at nursing? Is nursing a good career to meet men?

    xoemmylouox replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    Met my hubby in high school. Where I work there are maaaaaybe 10 men total (Non-Md). There are about 500 women. Those aren't great odds. Most of the Md's are either married, engaged, playing the field...

    Is it bad that I got over failing a class in like 3 days?

    xoemmylouox replied to alie46's topic in General Students

    As long as you recognize what you did wrong, and fix it, there is no reason to dwell on failing. It won't change anything at this point

    19 years old, working full time and pre reqs.

    xoemmylouox replied to FutureSRNA78's topic in General Students

    I work two jobs (full time and part time), I am pregnant (8 months along now), have a toddler, a hubby, a dog, and was taking 14 credit hours this semester. I ended up with a 4.0. It is VERY possible...

    Stagnant for three weeks!? (misc life advice)

    xoemmylouox replied to kmahnke93's topic in General Students

    NEVER quit your job before you have a backup plan. With the holidays I'm guessing it's going to take longer than you think. I would start applying for jobs now for anything that you might qualify for....

    Can my school change prerequisite requirements?

    xoemmylouox replied to km1427's topic in General Students

    It's not going to hurt to ask, but I wouldn't expect anything. Try to remain calm and professional at this meeting. Remember in the end your goal is to complete your education, even if it is

    Interfacility position denied

    xoemmylouox replied to beccayaker's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that this is confusing to you. Keep in mind that most of the decisions made make no sense, have no logic behind them, and are rarely made with our satisfaction in mind. You are thinking,...

    Is this legal?

    xoemmylouox replied to nursemeem624's topic in Private Duty

    What a mess. You will find that PDN is full of messes like this. I would cut your losses at keep

    Welfare Fraud

    xoemmylouox replied to RNBSN1591's topic in General Nursing

    Some states have certain medicaid plans for more than just income issues. Some children are qualified based on diagnosis. Make sure this isn't the case for your pt's family. I agree that we see a lot...

    Objects that represent a nurse

    xoemmylouox replied to Moran11's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hoping this isn't a homework question. Regardless, it's a pretty lame question. What do Nurses do? What tools do they use? Think about it. It's such a simple question if you make an

    could get fired!

    xoemmylouox replied to RNmoms's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's likely she will get fired. It would be the same if she had gotten caught taking a test for a classmate in school - automatic termination. The other person will prob. deny asking her to do this so...

    after 35 years, I cannot believe it

    xoemmylouox replied to Carolyn1234's topic in General Nursing

    That's frustrating. Maybe see if they will allow you to take a month instead of two? I wouldn't just walk out, but perhaps letting them know that this is a dealbreaker for you will change their...

    At a loss for words..

    xoemmylouox posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am honestly at a loss for words, which does not occur often. The system that is supposed to protect my wee little patient has failed her. She has been returned to her birth mother who has the mental...

    Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

    xoemmylouox replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

    I would not give up a good paying job to pursue nursing. Maybe do your pre-reqs while keeping your current job to see if that itch goes

    What classes did you take with A&P?

    xoemmylouox replied to kayclarke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your professor is wrong. Not everyone can handle it, but I sure did. I have take an A&P class every semester for the last 3 semesters (A&P 1&2 as well as Advanced Physiology). I always...

    College books are the biggest scams ever

    xoemmylouox replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see any textbooks I won't need again on Ebay or Amazon. I have yet to have an issue with one selling. I shop around for my current textbooks as much as possible. This semester I HAD to buy a $300...

    FAILED my first semester

    xoemmylouox replied to futurenurse0989's topic in General Students

    Honestly it happens more than you think. You will not be the only one to fail a class. This of course doesn't make the sting any less painful. You only wasted money IF you didn't make an effort. My...

    Court Appearance and Importance of Documentation

    xoemmylouox replied to Quantum Doctor's topic in General Nursing

    That's just awful. Poor baby. I wonder was it simple ignorance by the parents, lack of resources, or simple disregard for their child's life. I get too wrapped up in the "why's", trying to make some...

    xoemmylouox replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! Taking that step can be so scary. I fully understand your excitement and apprehension. I may be facing an upcoming change as well due to my LPN-RN program, and to be honest I am terrified....
