    Yea, I am a total type B personality and I see people stressed out and going bonkers all the time and I just think BREATH. I see people spending HOURS AND HOURS on charting and I honestly just don't...

    More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    HAHA funny enough a couple years ago there was a poster bragging about how good looking she was and how she includes a head shot on her resume. She was complaining though that nursing is full of fat...

    More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    On a serious note, I do see where their can be some truth to this. Just human nature and all that. But I think a lot more goes into it and that maybe "good looks" might play a very small roll. What is...

    I would have been with you until this point. I have been on many night shifts that were far busier then day shifts I have had. Both shifts have their crazy and quieter days. From this post you make it...

    New grad, no job, what should I do?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to carrie_c's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I didn't take it at all like you thought you were to good to wait tables. You just worked hard to get into nursing school, pass, and get your license. It's understandable you would not want to wait...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to carrie_c's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Not being a diva, it's valid concerns and frustrations. You have to just keep up your determination and motivation. Relook at your resume and stuff and see if there is anything you can do to fix it or...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am happy to report that my preceptor talked to my first preceptor and I think it helped. I think she got feedback from my first preceptor. We had closed our unit last night and were put on call....

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

    I really don't think it's that serious to keep suggesting the poster won't hack it as a nurse or a nursing student. Sounds like she had a rough night shift with little support and came to vent. I...

    What do you do with motorcycle helmets after a motorcycle accident?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to LegzRN's topic in Emergency

    But it's not your job to take it off the market or recycle it unless asked to do so. The person might want to keep it for sentimental/personal reasons. Not to use it again as their riding helmet. Not...

    What do you do with motorcycle helmets after a motorcycle accident?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to LegzRN's topic in Emergency

    My clothes were given back to me. I had just spent 150 dollars on the outfit I had on the day before I got in an accident. I was able to get the money back for the clothes from the insurance company....

    Yep exactly, it's just all about the type of learner and teacher you are and some people mesh better then others. It sucks when you don't match up right, but all we can do is try and make the best of...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to nurse678's topic in Health, Stress Management

    We don't have a tv in our room either. But when we did we didn't have a problem with it killing anything. It has an on/off switch that fixes that problem. Can also be incorporated into

    It's worth the differential on my unit. (at least so far, we haven't hit busy season yet) We don't have aides unless we get 7 patents (it's a 16 bed unit) At 7 we get an aide for 4 hrs and at 8 we get...

    Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    It's simple to not see what people are posting, you don't have them on your friends list. You can control a great deal of what you see on FB. I really don't see the issue. I have no problem admitting...
