    What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    OCNRN63 replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    I could have written this, except for the part about moving. My BF gave me an ultimatum: Him or nursing school. I chose nursing school. Then right before we were getting capped (we were actually in...

    OCNRN63 replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    I remember one time when I was working in the ED, we had a man who came in who was a code in the making. His abd was grossly distended, so the doc ordered an NGT. Another nurse was helping me as I...

    Same thing happens to me as a Jehovah's Witness. I once had someone on this site argue with me over which website is the official site for our faith. Uhm...doncha think I would know which one was...

    OCNRN63 replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    False teeth were mine. When I was in high school I worked in a nursing home where most of the aides were Old Order Mennonite farm women. (This was way before AIDS was on the radar.) Those ladies...

    Convince your Non Party state to endorse Compact Licensures

    OCNRN63 replied to kddannemiller's topic in General Nursing

    Many times, in cases of disaster, states will off conditional licensure to nurses there to help. I remember NY doing this after 9/11. If you're not familiar with the story, Google "Charles Cullen."...
