tokmom replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

Well, I'm in my 50's and I don't consider myself old at all. And I certainly don't let my age stop me from things I want or need. I don't plan on retiring any time soon, and can't since I'm a primary...
Breaks

tokmom replied to blackribbon's topic in Medical-Surgical

We can't group breaks like that. We are supposed to get 3, ten minute breaks and two, 30 minute breaks. I only get a 30. We hand off patients to another nurse, but if I take patients as a charge...

Educational Advertising at a for-profit program, what the?????

tokmom replied to LobotRN's topic in General Nursing

I don't think for profit or non profit matters in this case. The commercials are tacky and just plain weird. It's obviously geared toward young adults who are probably stuck in a dead end situation....

tokmom replied to rainln86's topic in General Nursing

I have to echo what the others are saying. I went to school years ago with a gal that was 4'9" and most likely under a 100 lbs. She did just fine. If I needed help and she was available I called her....
Why do nurses eat their young?

tokmom replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

OP sounds like she has been a nurse for a while and some programs change. Non profit has nothing to do with it. I have been educated at an LPN and ADN level, and not once did I take a stand alone...
