  1. Wonder if I should have a part time job?

    Jaybird310 replied to SharpSudden's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be worried, your reasons for not working seem legit. And if you got your ADN and then went into a BSN then it's very possible that your future employers could see that as a legit reason to...

  2. Wonder if I should have a part time job?

    Jaybird310 replied to SharpSudden's topic in General Nursing

    Not working for over a year after graduating and receiving your license is going to hurt your chances far more than taking a part time job in home health care. I'd advise you to take the part time...

  3. Dealing with excessively dry hands.

    Jaybird310 replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    I've always had naturally dry skin, and the constant wearing and changing of gloves tends to suck all the moisture out of my hands. I've found that Aveeno lotions work the best. If my hands get...

  6. Co Worker and snide comments

    Jaybird310 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  7. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    Jaybird310 replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    LOL that's a good one. I just thought of another one. My dad had lipotripsy about 5 years ago and on the ride home from the hospital he was still lit up and slurring his words. But as I was helping...

  8. Want help with Insomnia working Day Shift

    Jaybird310 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

  9. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    Jaybird310 replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is perfect for a good laugh after a long day. I've had multiple knee surgeries and after the first one apparently I was convinced I was dying. I kept telling my little brother (who was 15...

  10. Is it time to get rid of 12 hour shifts?

    Jaybird310 replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    I've been working 2-12s and 2-8s since the beginning of August and I dreadfully miss my three 12s. I'm someone who personally likes to work 3 straight 12s and be done with my work week. I dread the...

  11. Have U ever left a job after a short Period? Why?

    Jaybird310 replied to DaretoDreamRN's topic in General Nursing

    I left my first job out of school at the end of my 90 probationary period. I was green as a nurse and this was in the ER of Charity Hospital in pre Katrina New Orleans, which I believe was the murder...

  12. Want help with Insomnia working Day Shift

    Jaybird310 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    Wow that's intense I can see where that would keep you from sleeping at night. Like I've said I just recently started exploring the idea that PTSD might be the cause of my insomnia. I know I've...

  13. Hey everyone!

    Jaybird310 replied to raisonbrancruch's topic in General Nursing

    Being a male nurse you'll be in the minority in your profession but it's not nearly a taboo thing anymore. You haven't started college yet so I assume you're a senior in high school? I've got a little...

    Jaybird310 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

  16. Is it normal to graduate nursing school & feel like you know nothing.

    Jaybird310 replied to OBGYN*RN's topic in General Nursing

    What you're feeling is perfectly normal. I've never met a nurse that stayed a nurse after graduating, who didn't feel like that getting out of school. I remember numerous times that first year out of...

  17. The Holiday

    Jaybird310 replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I worked last night and I'm working tonight. But I'm off all weekend. It's actually keeping me from being upset about not being with my girlfriend and family because they're 10hrs

  18. How many of you work 2 jobs??

    Jaybird310 replied to cmawrule's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work two jobs now due to being in grad school but I used to and I've been a part of both the nursing and non nursing second job set. I've always worked nights so my second job has always been...

  19. I quit my job and am seriously considering quitting nursing

    Jaybird310 replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've always encountered a bit of 'hazing' everytime I've switched hospitals but never anything like this. I recently went through a spell dealing with a co worker but she was one bad apple not the...

    Jaybird310 replied to barefoot_girl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Jaybird310 replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  22. Obtaining Masters in Nursing

    Jaybird310 replied to CJsGirlRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm finishing up my first semester on a Pediatric NP track and it's no walk in the park. It's been a difficult and time consuming semester and it's not over yet. I'd say it's on par with the...

  23. Do you shower when you get off work???

    Jaybird310 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    When I was just working and I lived with roommates I would come in from work and go straight to the shower and wash my scrubs as soon as I got out of the shower as not to contaminate the whole house...
