    xoemmylouox replied to kacs13's topic in General Nursing

    xoemmylouox replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in General Nursing

    Best lotion for dry hands?

    xoemmylouox replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Aquaphor by Eucerin. Its messy, but you slather that on at night with cotton gloves and your hands feel much better in the morning. It doesn't sting either. Now to use as a lotion throughout the day I...

    xoemmylouox replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in General Nursing

    Why Wages Are Stagnant

    xoemmylouox replied to chuckster's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Our health insurance premiums went up a ton this year. My "raise" won't even come close to covering the difference. So by staying at my current employer I will be bringing home less in 2015 than I did...

    xoemmylouox replied to 2bnurse12341234's topic in Patient Medications

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

    I would NEVER tell an interviewer that I was tired. Especially if I was so tired I couldn't answer a basic question. That makes you seem dangerous as an

    xoemmylouox replied to anniegirl1988's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    NICU vs MedSurg

    xoemmylouox replied to migo1234's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would go into the NICU unless you KNOW you don't want to work with those tiny little babies and/or you know the ICU setting is not for you. Both are stressful, they just are stressful in different...

    The Influence of the Influenza Vaccine:

    Your facility did not mandate you receive their flu vaccine, just that you receive a flu vaccine, right? It is our job as individuals to make an informed decision about what we do with our bodies....
