  1. Sign announcing you're an RN on your car?

    @ the stick family

  2. Sign announcing you're an RN on your car?

    ybq2008 replied to Perpetual Student's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's a new grad looking for a job. That's a creative way to spark conversation with potential employers I guess as long as you remember not to drive wrecklessly. I have a Jesus bumper sticker...

  3. Chubby Nursing Student****

    ybq2008 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in General Students

    I've gained too, so I totally sympathize. I was 15 pounds from my goal weight when I started NS this past fall, and now I've gained 10. I planned to buckle down and workout to get it off over the...

  4. Should I really do this?

    ybq2008 replied to hopefulUS's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's really difficult to project what the job market will be like next year, let alone 3 years from now. I finish my BSN next December and I'm not sure what things will be like then, so I'm...

  5. What is the most you've worked (days) without having a day off?

    ybq2008 replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Nursing

    15 days, but as a counselor, not a nurse. I actually just recently did this and I was exhausted! I worked a range of 8-12 hour shifts. I wouldn't advise it on a regular basis, but I'm on a break from...

  6. Forced to Quit My Job To Follow My Dreams

    ybq2008 replied to Queenqmw's topic in General Nursing

    i had a very similar situation happen right before nursing school. i started this past fall and 4 weeks before school started, my comfortable research job downsized and laid me and 20+ others off. i...

  8. Looking for fellow black nurses!

    ybq2008 replied to jtmonique's topic in General Nursing

    maggiofliore, If your question was based on genuine curiosity, and not sarcasm (as I sensed when I responded), then I sincerely apologize. That story has been in the news for a few years and your...

  9. Looking for fellow black nurses!

    ybq2008 replied to jtmonique's topic in General Nursing

    *sigh* It has been stated over and over again that this thread was intended to be a networking and experience sharing venue for minority nurses and anyone else who cares to contribute to the...

  11. Looking for fellow black nurses!

    ybq2008 replied to jtmonique's topic in General Nursing

    Really? You want to pretend you don't understand what's going on with that scenario? Its called the crime doesn't fit the punishment! This happens everyday to black men across the country. Would her...

  12. What if I don't do well and fail. Nursing program Dilemma. HELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ybq2008 replied to josinda421's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just wanted to support you and remind you that you are somebody, BSN or not. We're a health care team and you are apart of that. I'm sure that you do excellent work as a nurse, and no degree or...

  13. Looking for fellow black nurses!

    ybq2008 replied to jtmonique's topic in General Nursing

    AGAIN, minimizing the experiences of others. How about sitting back and just listening for a while? It's obvious that people aren't telling lies about their experiences. I really think OP's original...

  14. Looking for fellow black nurses!

    ybq2008 replied to jtmonique's topic in General Nursing

    I love that you're willing to acknowledge that there are differences, whether we like them or not! I think that many white nurses become defensive to this topic because they take it as a personal...

    this might help...

  17. Looking for fellow black nurses!

    ybq2008 replied to jtmonique's topic in General Nursing

    I have to applaud my school's attempt to diversify the class. Out of over 70 students, we're about 15% minority and 10% black. I found that last semester we (most of the black students) had a tendency...

  18. Am I crazy because I love med surg???

    ybq2008 replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say that I love how you use the whole "q" abbreviation in your post. It adds a certain je ne sais quoi to your experience and I totally have a visual of you running around balancing...

  19. What type of drug tests do nursing schools do?

    ybq2008 replied to jillebean's topic in General Students

    lol, that's funny. I could imagine people leaving the class with specimen cups, books, and car

  20. Looking for fellow black nurses!

    ybq2008 replied to jtmonique's topic in General Nursing

    I would just like to thank the OP again for creating this thread :) I'm finding it helpful already. I'd also like to comment that I believe the intent was to network and share experiences. People...

  21. Senate passes health care bill

    ybq2008 replied to jlwerley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i have been in mental health services for several years and i like to think i have a pretty good understanding of the medicaid program. i also took a public policy course in grad school and researched...

  22. Senate passes health care bill

    ybq2008 replied to jlwerley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why? You pay for it eventually anyway in higher premiums for those with insurance. Why not pay for prevention and save some of our health care dollars? Not to start an argument, but this is always...

  23. Death of the Physical Assessment

    ybq2008 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the same thing the last time I went in for a sick visit. However, at my follow up appointment, I had the most thorough physical assessment and H&P of my adult life. And it was completed...

  24. Senate passes health care bill

    ybq2008 replied to jlwerley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think the reform bill is a good start, but I agree with Otessa. Good for Big Insurance, bad for me. I hope that the bill continues to evolve to reach some sort of middle ground to satisfy all. But...

  25. Looking for fellow black nurses!

    ybq2008 replied to jtmonique's topic in General Nursing

    Hi jtmonique :) I'm also a AA student nurse and I think you have a great idea in networking on this site. I'm planning to join the NBNA (http://www.nbna.org/) soon, so I hope that helps with...
