then you must not like anyone who does ANYTHING bad. that is a very strong statement you made about not liking anyone who smokes.

i was just meaning that it is one or the either. seems like a lose lose situation to me. i suppose you pick the lesser of the two evils and run with it.

i will always trust myself with a bp reading over a machine. anyday.

i personally think that all of that is bogus. i don't know though. i don't see why anyone would brag about it. i feel as though she is searching/seeking for attention. and that is what she is getting from all of this. attention. attention from you and now everyone here on allnurses! just ignore her, blow it off. her story just doesn't resonate as something being true.

i just prayed for you and your family. God will be with you when you take your test tomorrow; He's always with us!.....just don't forget to thank Him! :redbeathe

yes. relocation assistance is available in some areas.... i moved to nc last year and will be starting my job here in june. and they are offering me a relocation assistance package of appx $3000 - as well as a 2 year commitment of appx - $8000. the last i checked there was one for $15,000 - ......am i taking any of them? nope. not sure if i will be here for another 2 years - military wife - and not accepting the relocation assistance package because i don't have the original receipts from the move - military has them - ..... but anyhow.....yes...they can be offered to you.

i understand that there is a lot of help available but isn't it just as hard to get a heroin addict off drugs? how many times do they fall off of the band wagon? just as there are long term effects of smoking - what about the replacent therapy drugs? just because something is fda approved does not make it safe as well. and support groups are great - that is....if you have someone by your side everytime you have that urge. but what happens when noone is there? people will say that it is more mind over matter...but i don't know....

it is so very hard to quit

ha ha! funny! "give him the nod"

in your nclex packet there is usually a paper - which can get lost - that is filled out by you and signed by you that is given to the administrater of the school. at the point of graduation, they will kindly mail your information out to the BON address that you put on that paper - beware....it can get lost. ...... especially with all of the other paperwork that is involved with it! good luck! eat breakfast before! get a goodnight's sleep! and welcome to nursing!

once again......took the words right out of my mouth in reply to the insurance premiums post earlier.

you couldn't have said it better. thanks.

everyone is a hypocrite..... we are all human... noone is perfect.

i understand.....i am new to this and honestly...did not feel like surfing through pages and pages of threads to find it.... so i just started a new one.

if the smell does bother you - does it change how you feel about that person?
