    My Fibro

    xoemmylouox replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    I think that for many with chronic diseases the disease becomes a large part of their life. They often refer to it as "my ___". I don't see it as anything bad. For many of those with chronic disease I...

    Taking the NCLEX tomorrow! June 12th

    xoemmylouox replied to 2015RNgrad's topic in General Nursing

    Get sleep tonight. You will be able to think more clearly with a good nights rest. Eat a filling meal before you test (so you can focus on the test and not your rumbling stomach), and empty your...

    NAPNES still an organization?

    xoemmylouox replied to sissyspace93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Doesn't look like much is going on. Hopefully you paid for the $10.00 membership

    Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

    xoemmylouox replied to anh06005's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am surprised Hemoc isn't managing this. Did they have any suggestions on who else to refer

    Neuro ICU vs ICU job offer

    xoemmylouox replied to essenm25's topic in Critical Care

    I would go with the neuro ICU if you're really interested in critical care. That being said pay/benefits/hours/distance from home/and training provided should all also be

    Can someone transfer between hospitals in Inova health system during her orientation

    xoemmylouox replied to sukh :)'s topic in General Nursing

    I would doubt it. Most places require you be in your position for 6months to a year before changing positions. Since your friend isn't even off of orientation yet, I seriously doubt they would allow...

    rant.. "4 weeks notice"

    xoemmylouox replied to misyan's topic in General Nursing

    I think 4 weeks for a "non-essential" position is ridiculous. I wouldn't risk a full time job for a part time job, but that's me. Perhaps see if they will allow you to go PRN instead of leaving? This...

    GoFundMe Thoughts?

    xoemmylouox replied to singwithme123's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't bother me. I had a friend start one for her wedding. Did I contribute.. no. I certainly didn't get mad about it. We all have struggles. If I had the money to help a friend out with school...

    Importance (or not) of social ties in workplace

    xoemmylouox replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have become close with a few of my coworkers. The rest.. eh not so much. I have a hard time getting past how people behave at work. if you are lazy and do a crappy job - I just can't be friends with...

    What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

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

    My best "insult" was more of a compliment. I was speaking to a VERY non-compliant and demanding mother of 3 children. She told me she was glad she wasn't my child because she could never live up to...

    IS THIS TRUE???

    Is this normal?

    xoemmylouox replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Nursing

    It could just be stress. I work and go to school as well and it can wear on you sometimes. I think taking a deep breath a few times during your shift will help. If you are always rushing you will...

    You will all probably hate me for this

    xoemmylouox replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    You should not take this board that seriously. Honestly I would hate to think someone would cry over a post that they made because they seemed too "mean" in it. Sometimes we say things in the heat of...

    I'm late changing my name...

    xoemmylouox replied to nursejess14's topic in General Nursing

    I would work on this STAT. I doubt much will come of it, but the sooner you face it the better off you will be. It is such a pain to change your name when you get married. To be honest I just used the...

    You will all probably hate me for this

    xoemmylouox replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Sure feelings get hurt. I think a lot of times it is because sometimes it is hard to interpret emotions through text. Other times people are just not used to be told that they are not super - rainbow-...

    Where in Texas is Joint Commission now?

    xoemmylouox replied to SaraKitty's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it is normal to feel some anxiety with your first true experience with the JC. It really isn't that bad. In fact you often have adequate staffing during that week so things are better than...

    LPN (6k) vs BSN (35k) in the same timeframe. Help!

    xoemmylouox replied to NewNurseStudent's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would suggest not taking on so much debt. Is some of that to cover living expenses? $30 - $60K is crazy for an LPN/BSN. With interest those payments are going to be pretty high. There is still no...

    IS THIS TRUE???

    xoemmylouox replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I would be fine with just about anything, but I'm not sure if I want a fellow classmate doing a pelvic on me. I suppose it would depend on who the person

    Lesson learned

    xoemmylouox posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have lost respect for a provider that I have known for many years. I had always trusted this provider's judgment and care. I of course have heard some rumors saying less than stellar things, but who...

    Scientific or paranormal explanation?

    I needed this so badly. Thank for not only making me laugh with nearly every post, but for exploring this very important

    What would you do if....

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

    Some states do ask you when you renew your license if you have received any disciplinary action or have been fired since your last renewel. If so, they ask you to document why. So I can understand...

    Lesson learned

    xoemmylouox replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    Thank to for all of the kind responses. It is very frustrating to see the failures and know how things should be going. I understand some blips, things happen, but we are past that. I just hope we can...

    Taking lpn nclex for 4th time

    xoemmylouox replied to cwright5428's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well whatever you did the first 3x do differently the next? Seriously though,you have to figure out why you are failing or you won't ever pass. Saying you are a bad test taker isn't going to cut it....
