  1. Quit my first nursing home after 1 day!

    Twiggi replied to Trixyp's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I felt this way about my current job. Organizational issues make me want to drive off a cliff and I am very thorough like you are. I'm going to take a moment to vent like you. I love my job but it...

  2. First time a patient didn't like me

    Twiggi replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    I haven't had that yet, other than the helpful bit about it being unhelpful to reorient alzheimers patients, I thought that you did a good job and was in awe of your composure in a difficult case. I...

  3. First Day of Clinicals....Disaster

    Twiggi replied to WILLBEANRN's topic in General Students

  4. Unsettling experience

    Twiggi replied to Pittguy1971's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I really have no idea why they would be doing this to you. Just play it safe for your last 3 weeks. You can consider bringing it to HR, but things can get a little messy. Make sure you DOCUMENT...

  7. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    Twiggi replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

  8. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Twiggi replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    1) I am with the noisy kids in the back. (embarassed) But I have to say, do not give us dirty looks and 'shhh' when we whisper. Then turn around and chat your friends up and giggle as loudly as...

  9. Nursing classmate with add

    Twiggi replied to alusiq's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  14. Pre health science/prenursing

    Twiggi replied to SM1031's topic in International Nursing

    Twiggi replied to Twiggi's topic in International Nursing

    Twiggi replied to slmmarsh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
