    chicookie replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same problem. I had to force myself to change. I put on music I knew would make me happy on the ride home from work. If that didn't help, I would sit in the car for a few minutes before I...

    chicookie replied to crazyscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I heart Poi Dog. Exactly what I was going to stay. My parents for a while were super oppressive and there were days where I wanted to just leave. Change my name, start over but you can't do that. In...

    Seriously?

    chicookie replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    For us, we couldn't step a foot inside the room without speaking with the primary nurse. We also had to ask that nurse if it was ok. That is just weird to me that the student would be in there without...

    When "The Calling" wears off?

    chicookie replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing
