  1. Do you care "FOR" your patients or care "ABOUT" your patients?

    lady_jezebel replied to Lanceman's topic in General Nursing

    I admire nurses like you. After having my own baby, I don't think I could work in pediatrics at all. It's too heartbreaking. Thank God someone wants to do what you

  2. Do you care "FOR" your patients or care "ABOUT" your patients?

    both, most definitely! by not opening yourself up to caring for/about people outside of your own family, you are really missing something valuable in the overall human experience. i think this is true...

  3. From school to NICU?

    lady_jezebel replied to nursingblahblah's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is always: 1) If you have a passion, follow that dream first -- otherwise, you'll constantly long to be doing it while you're in another job 2) If you have no idea what you want to do in...

  6. Traumatized by nursing - advice needed

    lady_jezebel replied to kcsun3's topic in General Nursing

    lady_jezebel replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    lady_jezebel replied to CRNAinTHEfuture's topic in Nursing Career

  12. I HATE nursing! (long)

    lady_jezebel replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    When I cut back from 90% to 50%, my job became more tolerable. I go in to do my time, then leave. Also, I refuse to do any more 12-hr shifts -- I don't want to be there that long. Could you afford...

  17. Island Nursing

    lady_jezebel replied to psych0naut's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like some kind of major scam to me. A pearl farm in Bora Bora?? I would be very skeptical. Is he asking you to put money down? Are you signing a contract? Do you have anything in writing?...

    lady_jezebel replied to amanda44's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    lady_jezebel replied to indigo's topic in General Nursing

  20. Curious-why not another helping profession?

    lady_jezebel replied to Chevelle's topic in Nursing Career

    I did consider a variety of other "helping professions". The nurse has much greater flexibility than several other options, however. You can be a "case worker" or a counselor as an RN. Additionally,...

    Most of the material is very, very easy. You're probably already familiar with carbs, proteins, fats, vitamins/minerals, therapeutic diets within the hospital, and the food pyramid. It's one of the...

  25. Does the NCLEX really know your weak spots before you take the test??????

    lady_jezebel replied to CrystalRose25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They work fairly well in pointing out weaknesses. In my case, it showed that my poorest subject was Psych nursing. I studied up on this area before the NCLEX, and passed without a problem. The actual...
