  1. Communication Discrimination

    RNNoMore replied to WinterLilac's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was born in England, so yes, English really is my native language...but I can't even begin to count how many times I've either a) had to put on a fake American accent to make certain words...

  2. Finally Leaving Nursing...For Good!

    RNNoMore replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    I finally left nursing 4 years ago after experiencing severe burnout. I was only a nurse for around 8 years, but in that short space of time went from loving it (5 patients with a tech to help) to...

  3. Hello Mr. VIP! I'm your servant nurse for the night!

    RNNoMore replied to SICU Queen's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't had any VIP's - but quite a few 'FFP's' (Frequent Flyer Princesses/Princes)... my latest a couple of weeks ago pulled the following stunts... "Can you photocopy all 45 of my Winnie-the-Pooh...

  4. Clinical paperwork - will I get any sleep tonight?

    RNNoMore replied to RNNoMore's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all your replies and advice - sorry it took so long to reply, but the morning after clinicals we had an exam, which I bombed - and that's the first time I've ever got less than an A in an...

  5. Clinical paperwork - will I get any sleep tonight?

    RNNoMore posted a topic in General Students

    I'm not sure if I should discuss this with our nursing coordinator - would like some input from you guys... Last semester we were assigned 2 patients per clinical day, and did not have to hand in our...

  6. Cheating

    RNNoMore replied to stressgal's topic in General Students

    Ugh! I hate dishonesty, in any form - and it's even worse from people who are going to be put in positions of trust! You did the right thing. Let's face it - if they are having to cheat to pass...

  7. Anxiety Before Nursing Shool

    RNNoMore replied to lcs4cats's topic in General Students

    The biggest comfort is knowing that once you have that degree, there are many, many opportunities. Nursing doesn't necessarily mean working in a hospital for 12 hour shifts. There are workplace...

    RNNoMore posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi, I'm due to start this course in the Fall and if there's anyone else out there, it would be nice to get to know other students a bit before we start :) I'm Lynda, I live near Falcon, 40 years old,...

  10. Anyone starting the RN program at PPCC this Fall?

    RNNoMore replied to RNNoMore's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Diane, I am planning into continuing my studies after the ADN too, because there are so much more job choices for those with higher qualifications. I was very interested to find out that you can...

  13. Anyone starting the RN program at PPCC this Fall?

    RNNoMore replied to RNNoMore's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Diane, I got an e-mail back from the instructor about the patches: apparently they do run in the wash, and that is why they suggest the velcro - but you can just get a couple of patches and swop...

  14. Adjustment of status in Colorado State

    RNNoMore replied to Gene's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi there! I'm British and live in Colorado Springs, and am just starting the nursing course at Pikes Peak Community College. We have been in the USA for just over 4 years now. Originally my...

  15. Anyone starting the RN program at PPCC this Fall?

    RNNoMore replied to RNNoMore's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi! I'm glad you had such a lovely birthday! I studied until 2am last Tuesday night, so that I could have Wednesday off and take the kids to JoyRides. We had a great day - weather was hot &...

  16. A little dissappointed in allheart.com

    RNNoMore replied to studentnurse74's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I used them for my uniforms and had very good service.

  17. Anyone starting the RN program at PPCC this Fall?

    RNNoMore replied to RNNoMore's topic in Colorado Nursing

    LOL, you are right - a 'natter' is a good chat :) When I first came here I was amazed at the sheer amount of words that are different between our two languages - you think that English is English,...

  18. Anyone starting the RN program at PPCC this Fall?

    RNNoMore replied to RNNoMore's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, I can recommend AllHeart.com for uniforms - less expensive than the stores that the college recommended, and they do discounts if you order 2 or more of anything. I got my 'Can't see through...

  19. Professional in scrubs?

    RNNoMore replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    I didn't mean to sound rude, but I only have experience of British hospitals - I've only been inside a hospital once in the 4 years I've been here, and that was only very briefly in the ER (visiting...

  20. Professional in scrubs?

    RNNoMore replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    I just thought of something else - a lot of people have said that they prefer print scrubs because they don't show the messes (the 4 P's someone called it, Poo, Pee, Puke & Pus). I'm sorry - but...

  21. Professional in scrubs?

    RNNoMore replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    In England, dress uniforms are still worn for female nurses - the colours are standard for whatever type of carer you are - a different colour uniform for ward sisters, nurses, assistants etc. Male...

  22. Bilingual or not?

    RNNoMore replied to ShellyNC's topic in General Students

    Ugh, I hate languages, I can speak British English and American English, a small amount of school French and I know how to ask 'Where's the toilet' and 'Can I have an IceCream' in Italian. What more...

    RNNoMore replied to RNNoMore's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yay!!! there are others out there.... LOL! Hello Diane!!! So, how are you getting on with all the paperwork and stuff that we have to hand in? I'm just about done - I'm just waiting for the letter...

  24. Can I work while in school?

    RNNoMore replied to RoseYonnex's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I will be at college 5 days a week - 17 credit hours in the first semester, I can't imaging anyone being able to work and do that at the same time.

  25. Limey nurse would like advice

    RNNoMore replied to CupidStuntUK's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Not sure if you are still around -your post was old! I'm British and emigrated to Colorado in 2000. I live near Colorado Springs and love it here. The summers are fabulous (shorts and sandals from...
