I think it still is a pretty inspiring thread, just because one or 2 people have to say something negative doesn't mean it has to be true. look at all of us who did do it. And my baby did not suffer because of it. She was perfectly healthy and wel...

I was in much the same situation when I had my daughter and went through the same dilemma in my head in the very beginning. I thought "how am I ever going to finish school now,when we're only allowed 2 absences per semester?" But something in me an...

How does one get diagnosed with BiPolar?

I didn't read the entire thread either, but about the first 4 pages or so. Anyway, I feel like the depression symptoms I have came WAY before the nursing career. However, I felt that they were much more manageable before I added all this extra stuf...

even though I wasn't a computer analyst (I was a cashier at a department store) nobody ever asked me such questions either (Imagine that). But now wherever I go, I pretty much get asked some kind of medical question and actually feel kida stupid if...

is it possible that since you said "yes, but later" he took it to mean that when he was done with his duties he could go? Maybe he thought everything he had to do was done and headed for the hills... (and everything that he thought was done maybe wa...

I think your body will adjust somewhat, but it can take a long time. You will have to decide if it is worth it to continue or not. Otherwise, just start job-shopping. Good luck!

I had one, too and I actually tore from it. it was not a pretty site at all and it did make things uncomfortable for a while and just plain...different for awhile after that. I think it was about a year or so before things felt "normal" again, but...

I have to agree, though a little hesitantly. (did I spell that right?) While it may just irritate the ever living snot out of you, if she isn't harming anyone, there isn't much you can do. However, the reason I hesitate to agree is because if she...

we have a pt with chronic sores on her legs with very porr circulation to her lower extremities. her specialist that she just saw suggested this hyperbaric treatment like 2-3 hours per day, 5 days a week. Does this sound right or that it might eve...

I have one like this and she is so particular about everything, she will only deal with me as her nurse when absolutely necessary. She actually will call the other nurse at home. I think it is because she coddles her more than I do. I mean, i am n...

we will be keeping our fingers crossed for you!:wshgrt: P.S. anyone want a laugh for the day? I have a computer at work that doesn't really keep up with the times too well and I didn't even know the smilies moved or did any action at all! this is ...

:balloons: How exciting! I hope one day I can post those same words on this site. I'm not even in school again yet though, so don't hold your breath! HA HA. Now you can have some quality R&R :tbsk:

:yeahthat: :typing:

I have one on my lower back that I guess is referred to as a 'tramp-stamp' as well, but I wanted it there so I could cover it up in my everyday clothes. The only time is shows is in a swimming suit. Our facility doesn't seem to be too strict on tat'...

I see this is an older thread, but I just stumbled upon it. it was very well written AND a job well done!

I am in total agreement with this. I haven't been able to bite the bullet and actually buy some yet, but I walked around in the store with them on for quite some time - I think the salesperson was wondering if I was ever going to take them off!! :)

I personally don't like any of these types of shoes, I feel like I have a hard time actually keeping them on my feet...

Have you checked out those new "Shape-Ups" from Skechers? they do make an all white pair, and I think the only logo on them is that small "S." I have tried some on and although they can look kinda geriatric, they are SO comfortable. I am not famil...

You must be really bored! Not sure about links or anything, unless Google or any of those other search engines would bring anything up... But sometimes hospitals will have old pics up on the walls or even trying some research at a nursing school?

I landed my first job out of school at a doctor's office and I am still here (9 years later). I do consider myself very lucky to have done this. For me, being a single parent, the hours couldn't get any better. It would take a lot to get me to want...

If it were me, I would wait until I get my license, too. As soon as it was in-hand, I would start calling the places you applied. Good Luck!

Is it all day 8-4:30? Or do you have a big break in there somewhere? When I went, I had 2 hours in the middle of the day to do reading, etc. I worked at a retail store from 5-10pm, and did a little more reading/studying at home after that. Weeken...

Have you thought about looking on medscape.com? it is a CME website, but there is a lot to read on there... Not sure if this is the kind of answer or activity you would be looking for, but it can be useful...

How long have you been at this job? Long enough to feel like you gave it a fair chance if you were to give it up now? I am a clinic nurse and have "banker's hours" but there are still nights when I go home and feel like you do--like the worry never...
