  1. Ruptured AVM

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    That was my thought..dead is dead, no matter how sad the situation is. There is no more to be done, and although i realize the family has to deal with that in their own time, there should be some...

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to l.a.m.b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine today, and got 75 also. I am really feeling very unconfident right now..i feel like i didnt know anything on that test. I am glad there are others in the same boat..because at least i get...

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to Muttlover's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My pass out story had nothing to do with blood or procedures..i handle those well..so far anyway. Mine was my first ICU rotation. I walked by and saw a man on CRRT..all the bags scared me. I was...

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Enough is enough: Get out of my wallet.

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    Yeah we were the same way, although we had to wear whites for clinical, so we already had them. We did, however have to purchase our pins. The school brought in a rep, kind of like they have for class...

  9. Dangerous nurses

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to funmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok this is a little long, but worth the read :) When i started nursing school (2 years ago), there was a girl in the class that we could tell was a little nutty. Noone really thought much of it, and i...

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Patient Medications

  11. Anybody else struggling with anorexia and bulimia?

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I too suffer from anorexia, although the story of how i got there is a little different from most. I began because of an addiction to Ambien..i found that the medication hits you faster on an empty...

  12. Help: Tattoo Ideas!!

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to SRNA11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The OP asked for ideas about what to get, something that is representative of their accomplishment and hard work, not a speech about the professionalism associated with it. I agree, sometimes it is...

  15. The Patient I Failed

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Would there be something wrong with the physicians and nurses clarifying with a patient or family, upon the decision to make life saving choices, what a "full code" actually entails? I dont have a lot...

  16. Was anyone poor before becoming a nurse?

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    Poor before and will probably be poor after, becuase now i have student loans to take care of. Which is another bill in the stack for me..although i know nursing will add a little "room" in my already...

  18. Baby drowned in toilet, in trash dump

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to diane227's topic in Washington Nursing

    Is it not possible that this young woman knew she was doing wrong, but was forced to make the decision that was made? Say, the child was fathered by her own father or another man that was in and out...

  19. What kind of Nursing school drama in your school?

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Students

    Nothing wrong with making friends in NS. After all, who knows better than your classmates what you are going through? I went to a school out of my area, and most everyone there knew each other, which...

  20. Eating before clinicals

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Students

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

  25. Out of the mouths of babes

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to madwife2002's topic in International Nursing

    My son was in the car with my mom the other day, and being as cocky as he is (he is never wrong), he just very nonchalantly told my mother "Nana, my momma drinks cocaine". He meant caffeine, but he...
