  1. Feeling no support from my husband at all...

    Jo Dirt replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are we twins or what? I have made this EXACT same statement time and again, and it is the truth. I was getting ready to leave him, went to the doctor a day later and found out I was pregnant. That...

  2. Feeling no support from my husband at all...

    Jo Dirt replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    www.vowesavers.com don't know if I spelled it right but you can find it at www.daveramsey.com He gives excellent financial advice. I don't particularly care for it when he gets into the religious...

  3. Help re Jehovah's Witness and death

    Jo Dirt replied to nickismith72's topic in General Nursing

    I was raised a JW. They believe that when you die you are totally unconscious and will be until the Resurrection when the earth will become the paradise it was in the days of Adam and Eve and this is...

  4. Feeling no support from my husband at all...

    Jo Dirt replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think you should stand up for yourself, too (just pleeease don't say cuz :uhoh21: !!!) Get him a pizza boy hat and send him on his way to deliver pizzas. I'm serious. He can start bringing home...

  5. spooky spooky spooky

    Jo Dirt replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I'm generally an agnostic, but I do think if there is a spirit world the Bible gives good warning about spirits. I believe, with the exception of a close family member or friend, be it a grandmother...

    I wouldn't be so quick to assume it is

  7. PT with INR Disaster

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was sent out to get a PT with INR on a patient whose previous level was way off (blood was like syrup coming out). So the doctor put her on 9 mg coumadin for 3 days then 5 mg daily after that. So...

  8. I didn't know this actually happened

    Jo Dirt replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had my first child at 22, if I had been home alone and my water had broken I would have totally flipped out and I probably would have called 911, then, I would have probably started running around...

  9. Lowest of the Low

    Jo Dirt replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If they told me I would not be recommended for hire after my probationary period, no way would I go back to that shappy operation! Are you some kind of masochist? Get out of there

  10. PT with INR Disaster

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I can't explain it, but two of us saw it ourselves. The blood just stopped about halfway down the tube and when we tried to milk it you could see where it was clotting! I just don't understand what...

  11. GA and excelsior college

    Jo Dirt replied to Limik's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was told first hand that the key to becoming licensed in Georgia was to get your license in another state and then you can have it transferred. Maybe you have an out of state relative (not in...

  12. "Just" a 2-year degree

    Jo Dirt replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    You should have said, "and you make how much money?" Then you should have said,"I guess it takes a pretty bright person to realize it is better to spend two years in school instead of four to make the...

  13. Help...husband discouraging me :(

    Jo Dirt replied to Faye1's topic in General Nursing

    What does he want you to do, live a sheltered little life and go to the beauty parlor and have your nails done during the

  14. NP's are okay to see if you have a cold, BUT...

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That seems unbelievable. Did that doctor get his medical degree out of a cereal box? Any doctor who is not able to recognize chicken pox should be reported to the medical

  15. what the heck are medical assistant schools doing !

    Jo Dirt replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it is grunt work. I don't think a lot of CNA's even disagree with that. They are worked like mules and they deserve better. I think I encountered a CMA (maybe she wasn't even that, I don't know)...

  16. NP's are okay to see if you have a cold, BUT...

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I certainly don't want to minimize what NP's do, especially since I want to become one, but I think there are certain things only a doctor is qualified to diagnose. What got me to realize this was...

  17. Got offered a job...they were awfully eager to grab me up...

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Home Health

    I'm a new grad RN. I was offered a job by this home health agency that pays $25.00/hr (but this is based on 8 hr. days, so it is a salaried position) and free health insurance for myself, plus 32...

  18. Everybody wants something for nothing...pt's trying to "clean up"

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Home Health

    Do you have patients (especially Medicaid patients) who think you are supposed to "give" them any and all kinds of supplies just because they say they need them? There are a couple of houses I go to...

  19. Lamictal...isn't 300mg kind of steep?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Psychiatric

    After being on and off Lexapro for the last couple of years I finally went to see a psychiatrist (I'm not ashamed) and he told me to imagine a triangle: one side is very sad, tearful (lack of...

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Operating Room

    I'm in Tennessee (Nashville area) and would like to know if anyone knows where a nurse can get training to work in the

  21. is anyone else stressed out?

    Jo Dirt replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm more than burned out, but I can't afford to quit nursing, either. To make it worse I suffer from chronic depression that the stress just magnifies 10 times over, so I am really about to go around...

  22. Anyone ever work full time while getting their RN?

    Jo Dirt replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have three children and a disabled husband and I worked full-time (usually 60 hrs. a week) while getting my RN. My situation was not like yours, though, because I went through Excelsior College and...

  23. Have you ever taken care of a famous pt?

    Jo Dirt replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why grown men want to look at grown men in striped pants...take me out to the ballgame.

  24. Sometimes I hate being the nurse in the family

  25. Ooooooooh, I am SO ticked off right now!!!

    Jo Dirt replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Around here there is a natural animosity between nurses and EMT's. Rarely does a transfer go smoothly without the EMT second guessing everything or arguing with the
