  3. This is what happens when....

    stephie_love replied to Summers_Off's topic in General Nursing

  4. ABSN program

    stephie_love replied to nursinghopeful1111's topic in General Nursing

    I am an ABSN...being finished quickly and having a better shot at getting hired in this economy outweighs the cost for me. Yes, the loans will stink, but you'll make the money back. Unfortunately I...

    stephie_love replied to KR11's topic in General Nursing

    stephie_love replied to Shanny246's topic in General Nursing

  9. I didn't know I was pregnant?

    stephie_love replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Seriously...the women are almost always huge on that show. Also, many are drinking/smoking throughout their entire pregnancy...and low and behold, their babies are healthy and

  16. Is everyone having to go through "annual" fit testing?

    stephie_love replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I always fail this test. Apparently the bridge of my nose is very small, and the hospital only has a "regular" and "large" sized disposable N95 mask. Therefore, I have to use the old-school...

  17. Where oh where have the good PCTs gone?

    stephie_love replied to MissyF_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Here is my gripe with PCTs as of late...and the kicker is that I am a PCT too :) Let's just say I am glad I have the experience, as it has taught me loads about teamwork. Anyway - if you answer a...

    stephie_love replied to Cat_RN's topic in Patient Medications

    Bgexotics, have you tried taking half an Ambien? I find that it works just as well, and I remember what I did the night before!

  23. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    stephie_love replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    A high GPA may mean one is book smart...however, I am a firm believer that you need practical and social smarts (as well) to survive in this field. I know many nurses that were 4.0, and have the...

  24. should I become a c.n.a.?

    stephie_love replied to pooty31's topic in General Nursing

    I finally decided to pursue nursing after years in sales and working jobs that I despised. I've always wanted to be a nurse - so I got my CNA and started working at a hospital on the busiest med/surg...

  25. manual disimpaction

    stephie_love replied to 1louise1's topic in General Nursing
