  1. Need your advice....especially ER nurses

    nessajune21 replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    What symptoms do you have that made you reach this "diagnosis?" I've heard that gall stone pain is almost as severe as childbirth! So, if you've not reached that point, I'd say no ER for you! Get well...

  2. Respiratory distress--how quickly will they turn blue?

    nessajune21 replied to pmw2007's topic in General Nursing

  7. Silly question about what is considered a liquid

    nessajune21 replied to queenjean's topic in General Nursing

  9. drowning in despair

    nessajune21 replied to AlwaysMovingUp's topic in General Nursing

  16. Yelled At During A C-Section (Among Other Things)

    nessajune21 replied to RN1981's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is your 2nd week in L&D- not your 2nd year! Your preceptor needs to realize that you aren't going to be as fast as the other veteran nurses. And the nurse in the OR telling you "this is too...

  17. Just got BA...is being a CNA "below" me?

    nessajune21 replied to kix86's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing is below you until you have related credentials above that. So, until you add a few letters behind your name that are above CNA, you have to accept the spot you're at. CNA is a good starting...

  18. Grades don't matter!

    nessajune21 replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    This post has gotten a lot of play! I don't see why everyone is so up in arms about someone being annoyed by slackers. Misskitty said she respected those that gave it their all. If YOU have given it...

  24. Grades don't matter!

    nessajune21 replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing school we aren't only tested on what we read in books. We have lab evaluations and clinical performance scored as well. I think these latter 2 would hold the most weight as far as scoring a...

  25. Why Is It So Hard To Get Into Nursing Programs If There Is A Shortage For Nurses???

    nessajune21 replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing
