  1. you will be surprised....

    dansamy replied to Mchs4735's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be honest. I was super lazy in school because I could get my C without any real effort. If I'd made any appreciable effort, I would likely have been the one blowing the curve. I did have...

  2. took the nclex today and got the "good pop up"

    dansamy replied to uniqueguy34's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  3. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    dansamy replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If they (individually) don't like it or agree with it, put in their notice & leave. Unfortunately, it's REALLY hard here in the Deep South to unionize. Sent from my HTC One X using

  8. GIVING REPORT!!!!!

    dansamy replied to friendlylark's topic in Emergency

    You don't have to wait until you're more experienced to stand up for yourself. Do it now. If your pyxis in your er doesn't stock xyx, you can tell them that. "YOUR floor pyxis MIGHT stock 1gm of Vanc,...

    dansamy replied to tiredofstudying1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    dansamy replied to deeya12's topic in General Nursing
