  3. Chemotherapy: Peripheral IV or PortaCath??

    jeepgirl replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

  13. About skipping the last clinical

    jeepgirl replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    jeepgirl replied to Julie5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    jeepgirl replied to nurseygrrl's topic in General Nursing

    i was on zoloft for a short time a few years ago, and didn't notice any difference (prolly because I was on it for only about a month... didn't have time to completely work), and I too noticed sexual...

  16. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    jeepgirl replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    from the way zenman talks, every ADN and diploma nurse is an uneducated fool, not worthy of doing any more than the basic functions of nursing. that is basically what you are saying. and I find it...

  17. Lost my internship!

    jeepgirl replied to Sarah8714's topic in First Year After Licensure

  18. Lost my internship!

    jeepgirl replied to Sarah8714's topic in First Year After Licensure

    it must be very hard to fail the nclex... thats a blow in itself, and then to be treated differently by your new coworkers is very hard. i guess this should teach all: don't tell your employer you...

  19. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    jeepgirl replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    jeepgirl replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing
