  1. Rest of summer off from school... now what ?

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

  2. Rest of summer off from school... now what ?

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I am in the same boat as you. I start my last and final semester in the fall and cannot wait for summer to be over (as sad as that sounds). As for me, I've been working as much as I can at the...

  3. Why do you want to be "JUST" a nurse?

    CBsMommy replied to Lilbit's topic in General Students

    I get that all the time. In fact, I even had one of my nursing instructors ask me why I wasn't going for an MD. I usually just smile and say it's because I want to do hands on care for the patient,...

    CBsMommy replied to mmm cdiff's topic in First Year After Licensure

    CBsMommy replied to Jewl's topic in General Nursing

    CBsMommy replied to sik0123's topic in General Students

    CBsMommy replied to pookapooka's topic in General Students

  12. Nursing school pins?

    CBsMommy replied to ForeverLearner2010's topic in General Students

  13. Did you ENJOY nursing school?

    CBsMommy replied to heartbeep's topic in General Students

    I love nursing school and will be sad to leave although I'm ready to move onto the next phase of life. I didn't make too many friends through nursing school and our co-hort cannot get along for the...

  14. Would you sacrifice to be able to go to nursing school

    CBsMommy replied to vintagemother's topic in General Students

    To the OP: I would take your husband to court and make him committed, to pay alimony and child support. Then, I would enroll myself into school and go without ever looking back. Personally, I would...

  15. Sad day for a want to be experienced RN =...(

    CBsMommy replied to SUNNYRN11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is awful. I'm so sorry this happened to you, OP. I would be so upset if I were in your position as well. Just remember that when GOD closes one door, another one opens. You will end up in the...

  16. So Sick of Pushy Patients and Verbal Abuse

    CBsMommy replied to applesRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've had a patient cuss at me because his hand wasn't under the covers all the way. A simple, "Please do not talk to me like that, I am trying to help you" in a very nice tone, went along way. In...

  17. 2nd day of clinicals & I feel like an idiot...help me gain some confidence!

    CBsMommy replied to pecanpies's topic in General Students

    CBsMommy replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    If you have never been to San Francisco, the water is freezing and there are dangerous rocks, not to mention the undertow of the ocean, the waves and the sharks. Unless I had special training, I...

  20. The big D---Debt.

    CBsMommy replied to thislife's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. Why not take the year off (while you are waiting) to work for a little money? Stop the partying, pull your life together and get a nice little savings account going for the next...

  25. Does anybody ever fail clinical because of time management? ethical question

    CBsMommy replied to greenbeanio's topic in General Students
