  1. How far do you drive to work?

    nebrgirl replied to ajhutch's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I'm really close to work now (less than 2 miles) but my suggestion to you since it sounds like your either going to Lincoln or Omaha to work, is too see if someone would "rent a room" for a night,...

  2. What Would You Do? Accepted to 2 schools.....

    nebrgirl replied to MrsIndependent's topic in General Nursing

    I know you'll hear lots of folks say they have worked full time and gone to school....but just keep in mind that nursing school involves lots of outside classroom hours. I'm a pretty good student as...

  3. Interview Blunders

    nebrgirl replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

  4. correct terms

    nebrgirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just a dumb question....but in medical settings is it more "correct" to say "deceased" "passed away" "expired" or "died". I realize all of those probably beat..."bought the farm" "kick the...

  5. Could this be a sneaky way of discrimination on job application?

    nebrgirl replied to OB6658's topic in General Nursing

  6. HIPPA blues

    nebrgirl posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

  7. Nurses with Arthritic Knees! What do you do for them?

    nebrgirl replied to billjeff1's topic in General Nursing

  8. Addictions Receiving Facilities?? Anyone work in one?

    nebrgirl replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I've never worked in one as a nurse, but I hope too. I worked for 10 years as a counselor in an young adult substance abuse program and loved it. Sure they aren't always "grateful" for the...

  9. Dogs and nursing

    nebrgirl replied to rockstarjk's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked 12's (as a CNA) and my dog did ok, Like other's have said it's a bite to get up at 4:30 am to make sure he get's enough exercise before I go to work at 6, and then another decent walk...

  12. learning another language

    nebrgirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey with some of the discussion lately about the enconmy and a tighter job market it made me think about learning another language (Spanish). So I was wondering from those here who might be...

    nebrgirl replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in General Nursing

  14. Help will I ever get well!!!

    nebrgirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    prior to starting nursing school, I was pretty darn healthy. And I'm sure I still am, but I'm suffering from that psychological problem with thinking I have all kinds of diseases since I started...

  15. Comments from the peanut gallery....

    nebrgirl replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    God help me, I hope I'm not one of those people....but sometimes I probably have been. My mother is 93 and is of a generation where the Dr is always right, and since she also confuses the volunteers...

    nebrgirl replied to kirankiran's topic in General Nursing

    Ok I'll give up the secret....but I don't want to blow what little cover I have so you'll have to do a bit of research.....Most (many) community colleges in Nebraska have rolling admission...so...

  20. Ever lied about a work injury to avoid workmans comp?

    nebrgirl replied to Gr8Dane's topic in General Nursing

    Not only is there the termination possibility, but I have found on job applications the question "Have you ever filed a workman's comp claim? Not sure if it's a legal question, or if they could find...

  21. DNR question

    nebrgirl replied to nord11's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I didn't know that. A bunch of us were talking the other day, and decided that we would prefer to be DNR, since what I've seen is that the majority of folks they end up doing CPR on don't really...

    nebrgirl replied to murrbeffx3's topic in General Nursing
