    how many uniforms to buy?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to sajohnston1978's topic in General Students

    Ours had to be ordered 3 weeks ahead of time so our school logo could be embroidered on them. Had I not at least had one extra and something happened to one, like a bad stain, tear or something, I...

    Nursing School Dilemma

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    I don't know, I can understand them only wanting to watch one, but if they gave threats and saying this one not that one and stuff, I would have to say something, it's not up to them to decide when...

    Nursing School Dilemma

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    I would put the 2.5 year old in day care and not the infant. One the infant is going to cost twice as much, two, the toddler will benefit a lot more from it. I started nursing school when my daughter...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because than we have to follow someone elses ideals of what being a parent is. Not everyone has the same beliefs, not everyone agrees children should be raised a certain way. You bring the government...

    Told to have tougher skin!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to dscott76's topic in General Nursing

    I have some pretty tough skin, at least on the outside where anyone is concerned, but I wouldn't recommend the way I got it. I am better at having a tough skin when it comes to confrontation and...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with you and I couldn't do it either. If I know I didn't fairly earn it I won't be asking for favors and I have come within a fraction of a percent (or 1-2 points) away from a...

    evening clinicals

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Mtru11's topic in General Students

    I did evening clinicals for Med/Surge and my Maternity and Peds. I am SO NOT A MORNING PERSON. Day clinicals in LTC (didn't have evenings) and getting up at 4:30 AM sucked so bad for me. Anyway I...

    I don't work in HR, but I thought FMLA was 12 weeks also. I don't know though if their are stipulations on how it's used or if it's only 12 weeks at once. Completely inappropriate though for them to...

    The post dated check can be a good thing but it can also come back to bite you in the rear. My Bio mother was a con and queen of bad checks. She would send checks for a birthday and I would call the...
