  1. Please Help Me!

    tommycher replied to Desperate_2_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I had a girl in my class in nursing school who had been arrested years earlier for drugs and prostitution, changed her life and went to nursing school. The school knew when she applied, and it was all...

  2. So... I failed. But I am ready to fight further

    tommycher replied to jascraft's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Part of the trick to passing the NCLEX is to know how to take the test. In the front of the NCLEX-PN by Saunders second edition, there is a guide on how to eliminate the wrong answers in a question,...

  3. LPN2005 Magazine

    tommycher replied to MiaLyse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How odd to find this thread! I have received so many offers for nursing magazines, never subscribed because they are always laying around for our reading pleasure at the hospital! But this week got...

  4. Most Common Med/Surg Drugs, Including New Drugs

  5. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    tommycher replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, this economy is recovering quite well from the recession Bush inherited, and considering 911, since Clinton didn't stop Bin Laden when he was offered up on a platter, even after the first...

  6. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    tommycher replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    No, Begalli, I was not joking. It is a fact, seen with my own eyes. Children do not get to make their own decisions, they have to rely on a parent, and sometimes parents are not very intelligent,...

  7. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    tommycher replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Kevin is absolutely right, the last thing we need is "another monolithic government bureaucracy" that we, the people, will have to fund and live by. The less government in our lives, the better....

  8. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    tommycher replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and another note to Larry, please do not assume that everything you read in our liberal press that is quoted by some of our gloom and doom politicians is

  9. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    tommycher replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    I really do not understand the original intent of this thread. Once the question was answered, having no insurance does NOT affect nursing care, Larry continued to argue instead of feeling relieved to...

  10. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    tommycher replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Dplear, now that you mention it, I have often seen that too. And, on that note, I just realized some of the other things I have seen that make me crazy! We have had medicare and medicaid patients...

  11. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    tommycher replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Eltrip, that is right, there are county hospitals and public clinics for the uninsured, which is probably equal to the national healthcare for all in the other countries. However, with our system, we...

  12. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    tommycher replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    It would be very interesting to visit other countries and see national healthcare in action. But, from the friends I have who have come from Canada, they declare the system in America is by far...

  13. What do you HATE to do at work?

    tommycher replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in General Nursing

    what I hate most about my job, in agreement with others here----> rude, hateful family members who know everything you need to do for their family member, even though they sell used cars for a...

  14. Tell me something good...

    tommycher replied to mrs.henderson's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto to all the previous posts. There is no other work like it, no day is the same, and you will make a difference in a person's life at their most vulnerable. It is very

  15. I don't fit into nursing& nurse eating

    tommycher replied to cargal's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you have had such a bad experience. It really isn't like that everywhere, and it sounds as though you have a gift of compassion that is truly an asset to the profession. Some people who...

  16. is this Fate

    tommycher replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    I did not become a nurse until I was 45 yrs old, it took me a long time to get here, but it is something that has always been inherent in my soul. As a little girl, I would pretend my dogs were sick,...

  17. Is nursing for me????????????????

    tommycher replied to rose28164's topic in General Nursing

    I work tele too, have been since I graduated from nursing school. I am so GLAD someone else has this same problem! It has gradually gone away, but not until I had been a nurse at least a yr. I...

  18. CNA/Nursing student needing advice in the jobplace.

    tommycher replied to jpoetic3's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others! However, you may want to apply for a CNA job in a hospital. They also need good aides, and a nursing student as CNA is a whole different animal from a dead-end burnt out CNA....

  19. learning from mistakes...too many?

    tommycher replied to miss.bandaid's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I can totally relate. Nursing is such a huge responsibility. I work Tele, don't often have patients who go to OR, but had a lap appy I sent to surgery. I was so careful to do all the preparations....

    tommycher replied to Nalini's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I graduated LVN school, I went to buy myself a brand new car. The salesman,after hearing I had graduated nursing school, asked, RN? I said LVN. He asked "Why only LVN?" So, a few days later...

  23. This week I have lost my motivation.

    tommycher replied to blondiii's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In nursing, as in all else we do, you will find areas of strength and weakness. Practice and study is always the key. The school library should have videos and extra information for you, good luck,...

    tommycher replied to betsyMT2003's topic in Nursing Career

    This is career #3 for me also! Started nursing school in my 40's, used to be vet tech and dog groomer! For 3 yrs I would walk into my own shop and think to myself, "I just want to be a nurse!" Then...
