    How am I going to get the time off for a tummy tuck?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to NurseLady1's topic in General Nursing

    My place of employment isn't like that. We don't have to wait to use our PTO, if it's there we can use it. You just have to give notice for scheduling. I wouldn't request 2 weeks off (which if your...

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

    I am well suited for nursing but I would not handle a 1000 question test. I was worried if I got the 265 questions for NCLEX. To spend 5 hrs taking a test. It's just not me. Thankfully I passed in 75...

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

    So I am assuming that back in the stone ages when you had to answer 1000 questions that it wasn't the progressive type testing it is now where the amount of questions you take depends on the level of...

    How am I going to get the time off for a tummy tuck?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to NurseLady1's topic in General Nursing

    I just started June 27th and I have already accrued 32 hrs in PTO. Although I work full time hrs I was technically hired at 2 days a week so in about another month I would be able to request 2 weeks...

    Teenage Pregnancy/Nursing

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

    In a lot of cases leaving the education to the parents can be the downfall. My Bio Mom kicked me out of the house when I was 15 for not having sex with her boyfriends buddy that came over. I was...

    I'm not saying that they don't. Just saying I don't think that's what is behind the reason of a of moms doing it. At least not the ones I know. In fact no one was even going to know. It was for...

    Teenage Pregnancy/Nursing

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

    I do feel there needs to be more public resources available to teen moms to help them be more productive in society. I was a teen mom, if I didn't have the support I did through my alternative school,...

    How am I going to get the time off for a tummy tuck?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to NurseLady1's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree that plastic surgery has gone to some pretty far extremes. I just don't see a person that lost weight or has a large amount of loose skin from having kids, and that person wanting to fix...

    I am not even talking about extravagant make up, a pair of heels and a skirt. Shoot a skirt would be a surefire way to make me feel down on myself and I don't wear heels. My point is that wanting to...

    Teenage Pregnancy/Nursing

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

    While I do work in Peds and I work with a lot of teenagers I would encourage you to think out of the box at what I feel is the bigger problem in teen pregnancy. Not just the practice of unsafe sex...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to NurseLady1's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't have to be about anyone else. It could be that the OP wants to just feel good. She had kiddos (sadly they don't come with a warranty on your body or upgrade) sounds like she lost weight and...
