    jenrninmi replied to nursewannabee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do I want to do this career?

    jenrninmi replied to LizB's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is exactly right! I'm a female and would never let someone "order me around". I am part of a team and I'm treated as such. I have not been treated disrespected yet and I plan on keeping it...

    jenrninmi replied to jesshopper12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is not a slam or anything, but I have seen a few people do this on boards, why do you capitalize the first letter in every word? Does it have a different meaning, like capatilizing all letters...

    I need some advice fellow nurses....

    jenrninmi replied to ItsyBitsySpider's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If your paperwork you signed says you were hired for days, I don't see how they could move you to nights without talking to you first. I do like working 3rd shift a lot. Never would I have ever...

    jenrninmi replied to ArmyWife,RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow! You know, like the others said, don't beat yourself up about these. Was it the 4000 mg of acetaminaphin you didn't know, or was it that you didn't know Lortab had acetaminaphin in it? Well,...

    jenrninmi replied to LWildman's topic in General Students
