  1. Finally decided to quit nursing

    Tiffanybaybay replied to jennjen512's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    False. I disagree with this post and I've been a nurse for several years now. First of all I hate people who work with under served populations anyways. Do you think you're doing someone in these...

  2. Interview with Yale hospital

    Tiffanybaybay replied to RN_203's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Not to rain on your parade but everyone shadows. When you shadow you'll meet the department head, try to make a good impression. Don't wear open toed shoes. That's probably all I can think of....

  3. Dangerous patients

    Tiffanybaybay replied to dallet6's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  7. The New Face of Healthcare

    Tiffanybaybay replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

  8. I am sick of being a job hopping RN

    Tiffanybaybay replied to Kasandra's topic in Nursing Career

    My only suggestion would be to tell you to take a step back and really consider the feelings coming from you because things are not going to get better once you become an NP. Once obama's healthcare...

    Tiffanybaybay replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Tiffanybaybay replied to pacunuse2009's topic in Travel

    I traveled to missouri and make around $700/week PLUS living expenses, and that was in missouri... cost of living should be higher in CA.

    Tiffanybaybay replied to jaywaker's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  17. Your method for analyzing lab values

    Tiffanybaybay replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Tiffanybaybay replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
