    stephie_love replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    stephie_love replied to Jules0624's topic in Nursing Career

  9. Nurses who tell you what you need to do!! vent!

    stephie_love replied to mskate's topic in General Nursing

    So, isn't going through a patient's chart that is NOT yours a HIPPA violation? I think that 'reviewing' your charting was not her prerogative...I may be wrong here, but it just sounds like something...

    stephie_love replied to fabiusgile's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to me too...I have never taken a benzo and somehow I turned up positive for them. They should send your results to the lab for further testing, and you'll be able to breathe when they...

    stephie_love replied to kkia123's topic in General Nursing

  15. Beginning Nursing Question

    stephie_love replied to Johnny B's topic in General Nursing

    Also, keep in mind that your first 2 years in college will be all the core stuff...history, english, religion (in some schools), art, etc. Your last 2 years will be nursing courses and such. An ADN...

  16. Where on earth are CA students with a low GPA(3.3) applying!?!?!

    stephie_love replied to ChanelCinq's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
