Hi. I was just wondering how you deal with not being able to read a drs. handwriting, because even though I am not a nurse, a lot of times I cannot read the Prescriptions that my drs. write out, therefore I wonder how nurses deal with this? When you ...

I have a DUI from 17 years ago - back in 1986, and I am wondering if nursing schools would not admit me due to this. Although it was a stupid mistake I made years ago, it was not a felony and it was even in another state and does not pull up on my...

Hi. I am an RN student. I was wondering how many years of experience in nursing working at hospitals, etc. it would take before a RN could start doing agency work? Does the agency ever hire new RN graduates? Also, are you constantly being rou...

Oh sorry - I explained this in a previous thread somewhere on these message boards. If you know a way for me to change my UserName for these boards I will be glad to change it cause I have most definitely decided against nursing. After reading t...

Dawngloves, I guess it is the norm that people with ok self esteem do not need to have that extra ego boost. And really, with the way that these look on cars, it can really be pretty tacky. It is one thing if your employer mandates that a certain...

Hello. I am wanting to start taking some prerequisite courses right now before I get into the nursing program. Recently my hubby wrecked my car, so we only have 1 car now and my insurance premiums went sky how so since I am not working at the mome...

I am taking the A&P Online Course but without the Lab because I have changed majors and am now in Health Information Management and Medical Coding. My course is VERY detailed and cost $ 58.00 per credit hr and this is a 3 hr course, plus there ...

Well, you do not see an abundance of Doctors, Lawyers, Architects, Administrators, etc. etc., with tags and signs on their cars and many of the times the oneswho have it do so to bolster their self esteem. My background is in Clinical Counseling an...

sjoe, I do not go through life with blinders, setting up my computer to ignore this or that person, how childish that is and you would never get to see the real emotional climate of a thread that way. However, if I see someone else being unjustly d...

Todd, I do not like sending PM back and forth to people I do not know, because I like to keep out in full view for others to see. According to your PM that yo sent me, you did not see where you did anything wrong by addressing another poster as, "L...

Todd, that was very rude of you to say, "Listen Stupid", regardless of what her board Username was. I think it is sad how so terribly many nurses are known to "eat their young" and basicly treat each other like crap., and I have heard this ove...

Exactly Noel... Anybody can cheat on anyone, and doctors are wonderful people too and fun to date. If it works out fine, if not fine, but nobody should generalize about drs. or any other profession.

Catsrule, Yeah I wrote a post earlier about my life in Greenwood and other places. I have not been back for a long time and Greenwood used to be so small when I used to live there and attended Lander College in the late 80's and today it is called L...

Sorry to mention it again but I did not hear anyone say that they say the same TV video that I talked about in my earlier post about nurses? If so, what did you think about the video?

Have any of you seen the video that I think is called, "Give me or Gimmee"..?. It shows several black lady nurses in white uniforms walking down a corridor in some hospital or facility singing, winking and suggestively swaying their hips while th...

It sounds like you got a hold of a Southern nurse who generally then tend to call people "sweetie", although I do not because I tend to find it patronizing to even hear from another woman or even a man for that matter. Anyway, I have heard it once i...

Personally, I think it is horrible that people are not paid overtime for extra hours they put in at work. However, keep in mind that this policy already exists for some PROFESSIONS such as architecture, because about 7 years ago when my husband had...

Hey There.... I just noticed that some of you are talking about where I am actually from, or was long ago... I used to work at Self Memorial Hospital in Greenwood, SC. in the late 80s. But, I used to work on the psych ward as a Mental Health Te...

Sbic, I do agree that most posters here were way too harsh on JHUnurse. I personally believe that the girl was just being honest about a subject she wanted others input on and definitely do not believe that she was trying to search for drs. to marr...

I personally am against spanking, hitting, slapping, or physically touching a kid or child in any way, as a means to punish him/her. Even if some of you do believe it is okay to do so, in todays times, it is not wise to hit them because, your child,...

Autumn-Moon, I sooooo agree with what you have said and understand how important it is for people to take antidepressants when they need them and they definitely should not feel as if they are copping out by doing so. Keep in mind, by the time man...

I do not know why, but I would be very scared to work around prisoners in a correctional facility. However, starting 1987, I worked in two different psych wards, for over 7 years and other than a little boredom and wanting to wring some of their "ma...

Ann, Great News!! Goes to show it is different based on the situation and probably based on the state as well. That is something that you do not have to mention the crime if it was esponged off the record. I did not think you would have any pro...

This reminds me of a male Sociology professor that I had in 1987 and I remember how he started off most every class with intimidating statements like: If any one has anything intelligient to say, you may bring it up now, otherwise I shall continue ...

Well, I do not know... Personally, if someone was writing me in a chatroom or online, etc., since I am not a licensed nurse, dr. etc., I would rather them use their energies talking to someone experienced, therefore I would tell them to call 911 or...
