  2. Weaker nurses at night?

    JavaMama98 replied to LeeniesMomRN's topic in General Nursing

  5. Contaminated Scrubs..do you wear scrubs to the stores

    JavaMama98 replied to Nurseismade RN's topic in General Nursing

  8. 2 Days in and the doubt is seeping in...need to vent

    JavaMama98 replied to Shabinka's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Three things, Shabinka: 1) 2 days is too soon to make any judgements based on one (the first) quiz). 2) Instructors are trying to instill in you a sense of respect for both the NCLEX-PN and the...

    JavaMama98 replied to LPN_thts_M3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That sounds like a really awesome clinical day. I only wish that I could say the same for my own. We spend an enormous amount of time "standing around looking like a doofus". And of our 12 months that...
