  1. Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    Kellie626 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    My point is that we're making the case that we need to "set an example" for patients but all the other things nurses do don't count since they "have a problem" and we need to be sensitive about it. I...

  2. Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    Kellie626 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Kellie626 replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    Kellie626 replied to golosa82's topic in General Students

    All I can say is it can be done! I'm in school full-time, working 40 hours a week on second shift. Clinicals and class makes for some long (16-18 hours some days) but it's what I have to do. I have...

    Kellie626 replied to inquiringaide's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, although I will graduate from nursing school in May, I've been working in admissions/registration at a hospital for 2 1/2 years. When I started working here, they just wanted to a standard...
