  1. Nursing student/Mom and last nerve about family life

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, good luck. I would quit school. Your children are only young once and so are you. Do not stress yourself out. So much has been said about what we want in society etc. We actually need very...

  2. hostile chargenurse

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to maxinefrancine's topic in Emergency

    I second what Snowie says!! DO NOT go alone. Find a group and do complain. Not to discourage you, but I worked for this woman for 5 yrs (just kidding-I mean someone like her) and upper management...

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to Blackcat99's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to lmcelroy's topic in General Nursing

  8. Do you skip a lot of classes if attendance isn't taken? Be honest!

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to Star Trek Nerd's topic in General Students

  9. Hospital Grub

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to Witheney's topic in General Nursing

    Food is generally very good, but sometimes changes from what is on the telephone (can call in to find out). Get a discount, fairly reasonable. Time getting down to cafeteria a factor. Ordered out a...

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to foqus's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to Mandarella's topic in Nursing Career

    Sorry, not a mom yet but I am in a "traditional" BSN school during the week. Incidentially, I have never heard of a weekend program? Anyway, I am in class with a lady who has a 5 yr old and 3 yr old....

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to RMARTINNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
