  2. Zoloft...Any Personal or Professional Advice?

    TexasPoodleMix replied to nurseygrrl's topic in General Nursing

    I took Zoloft for a very short amount of time to deal with some mild anxiety (mostly situational) and frequent worry. I believe it did help but caused me to not enjoy sex so I stopped taking it .

    TexasPoodleMix replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

  11. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    TexasPoodleMix replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    All of this talk about making Bsn standard makes me uneasy. I want to start an ADN program in F05 and of course in time get a BSN after I have worked for a year or two. I already have a BS and an MA...

  17. Former teachers now RNs?

    TexasPoodleMix replied to cowgirlup's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a former teacher but counselor. It wasn't so much stressful, just boring and there are few opportunities in my area. I wish I would have not gone in so blindly, but live and learn, I guess....

    TexasPoodleMix replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing
