    Illegal Drugs At Work?

    BabyRN2Be replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of one time that I almost got busted for alcohol. I was working at a baptist maternity home and I was giving a house parent a ride in my car. I was in the car before she got in and I...

    cannot get over mistake

    BabyRN2Be replied to takrn's topic in General Nursing

    Someone mentioned that you might have been a scapegoat in this, and I tend to agree. It sounds like you are placing too much blame on yourself when it isn't necessary. That's what it sounds like to...

    OK Hosp. Smoking Ban

    BabyRN2Be replied to LadyBugLass's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    It was supposed to have been implemented last year, but at Hillcrest, people seem to have no problem ignoring the signs and lighting up anyway. The last time I was at St. Francis, the patients (and...

    Very confussed about courses

    BabyRN2Be replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As well as a biology/microbiology/or zoology type class if you were going for an RN, but I'm sure at the LPN level they'd want you to have at least a beginning biology

    Looking to start in a NICU

    BabyRN2Be replied to Kalico's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Just curious, but do they hire CNA's in NICU? Is there any special training for a NICU CNA or is it just the regular training?

    What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    BabyRN2Be replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I guess I would term myself as a nursing student, not an RN, but I have a neat "gross" story for ya'll. Trying to make a long story short. We had this girl come in via the Expensive Taxi (i.e. EMSA,...

    When communicating with an older client who is hearing impaired, the nurse initially:

    BabyRN2Be replied to student06's topic in General Nursing

    My original degree is in speech-language pathology, and I would agree that the correct answer is "A". Exagerrating lip movements makes speech much harder to read. Older people who are hard of hearing...

    BabyRN2Be replied to cnelle101's topic in General Nursing

    When I first discussed seriously going into nursing, I posted in the Medicine> forum on another BBS (specifically, ISCABBS). A user from ISCA directed me to Allnurses.com. I immediately felt at...

    Unfair Discipline at Work...What do you Think?

    BabyRN2Be replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Would you consider this a waste of time?

    BabyRN2Be replied to sleepymom's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Peachy, I'm sorry that I really can't offer you any concrete advice, but it looks like we have identical stories. I "settled" for my first degree because my mom didn't want me to become a nurse....
