I would get down on my knees and pray earnestly. If you are not a Christian I would fix that first and foremost, then I would seek that "wisdom from above". People will frequently let you down, misguide, and even betray you. HE never ever will. Love ...

You just have to be willing to relocate. Peace, loerith

Praying now. Now the hard part......believing. Love and Peace, loerith

Do you remember if you got question 75 right or not? If you got it right, the odds that you passed are very, very high. The NCLEX has NOTHING to do with the number you get right or wrong but has everything to do with level of difficulty. In other wor...

I have 2 badly herniated disks {L4-L5, L5-S1} with a hemangioma and some osteophytes. Quite painful to say the least. I am off work again now and have been for a month. I tried the Pain Management route and the experimental medial nerve block hurt me...

I worked all midnight shift for 6 years. Do yourself a HUGE favor and get OFF those nights ASAP ! Peace, loerith

Actually I do believe I work at 100% of my potential when on the medicine and perhaps less than that when in pain. I may have my neurologist and internal med doctor examine me while on the meds just to have some documentation as to my mental status w...

I have posted on here previously about this, but need a new updated advice database. :) I am a RN who works a clerical/supervisory job. I also have chronic pain and the only relief I get is from the Duragesic patches. To further complicate the matte...

When I read your original post I literally cried and started praying. There is a God. Oh yes.....there is! Love and Peace, loerith

agreed Chatsdale! Love and Peace, loerith

"Once upon a time...." {just kiddin } I was a Director of ICU. I had a nurse on night shift who refused to take an IABP patient even though she had had 2 inservices on baloon pumps. The next day when I was informed of this I was told, "the nurse sai...

Go ahead and wage war. See who wins. Right now, she has a bigger pencil than you do ....if ya get my drift. Love and Peace, loerith

Calling a meeting, talking about her to superiors will only put you in a questionable light. You said she was "well liked" on her unit. As you said "dont play that game." Go with the flow; smile and nod. Then after graduation go work in the largest t...

I would definitely agree that being a nurse is much tuffer than studying to become one. And honestly , at this point in time there are many things I would trade for being a nurse. Love and Peace, loerith

You need a lawyer...preferrably a nurse lawyer. And a good one. This might cost you some major money up front, but you may be able to recoup it all. Good luck and dont take this! And get a hair sample asap. One that is relevant to the drugs they say ...

And instead, we need new laws governing the states Boards of Nursing so that they do not operate outside the law or constitution. That the burden of proof is on the accuser to PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt guilt. And laws that dictate fair and reas...

I am soooooo sorry this all happened to you. BoN's are way overpowered. They operate outside the bounds of the law and the Constitution. I always thought that in America the burden of proof was on the accuser and that you were innocent until PROVEN g...

Switch bags??? WTF moment is right! My apologies I misunderstood and I do think you did the right thing. I still stand by my statement though that nurses in general are quite divisive.....and well basically "they eat their young". :rotfl: Love and ...

I personally believe in Jesus Christ, AA, and the Twelve Steps. I just happen to believe also in the Constitution. I thought freedom to choose a religion or no religion was part of that. Oh welll......btw... loerith is not a godless individual. And l...

I'll Amen, but thats not even close "...to the end of that!" Please define "religious" using the New Oxford English Dictionary. Do the same for the word "prayer". Go read page 85 of the AA Big Book or read the 3rd step prayer. Then come back here ...

I notice you didnt mention "prayer" in your post. Care to explain how this is not religious? Or "turning ones will and life over to God as we understand him"? Ever read the the Third Step Prayer from the Big Book? your turn... Love and Peace, loe...

Tommy, What was the NC BoN's response to this presentation? Have you ever considered law school? :) Love and Peace, loerith

Two quotes for ya by Bill W. Co-Founder of AA: "But conversion, as broadly described by James, does seem to be our basic process; all other devices are but the foundation." The "James" referred to here is the "James" who wrote the book of "James" in ...

I couldnt possibly agree more. "Nurses eat their young" is just a nice way of saying that many of them are backstabbing, tattling rats. Someday {though I doubt it} perhaps nurses will wake up and realize that if we spent as much effort sticking to...

tommy: this question....... "what is the official position of narcotics anonymous on the issue of government coercing people into narcotics anonymous? sincerely,tommy perkins" btw...did you get a reply to this question? dont tell me the preceding rep...
